Hello. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now I welcome you back for the penultimate SubModern Report of 2025! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. This week's charts are reflective of many shows being off, probably because they were too too stuffed. In fact "No Show" would have been #1 on the charts if it was an album or single. But it's not, so we have a double #1 from Cardinals with the new track "Barbed Wire" and the upcoming record Masquerade, which will be out in February.

Following that on the singles chart is a three-way tie at #2, including Poolside with "Otherside", Pulp with a cover of Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around", and Radio Free Alice with "Rule 31". Kiwi Jr. is still hanging out in the top five with "Hard Drive, Ontario". Then, there's a tie at #6 between "Wishing" by Devon Thompson and "Ultra Violence" by Lifeguard. Finally another three-way tie at #8 finishes the top ten with Crooked Fingers' "Cold Waves", David Byrne's "T Shirt", and Lime Garden's "Maybe Not Tonight" (last week's #1).

On The allbum chart The Replacements' deluxe edition of the forty-one year old Let It Be is once again #2. Then there's a three-way tie at #3, featuring the Darkphased EP from The Crooked Stuff, Lightning Might Strike from Juliana Hatfield, and Snocaps' self-titled album. HEALTH and Toth have nothing in common except that they both end with "TH" and that they're tied at #6 with their soon-to-be-released records CONFLICT DLC and And The Voice Said. And on this chart too, the top ten closes with a second three-way tie at #8. This one includes The Belair Lip Bombs with Again, Momma with the deluxe edition of Welcome To My Blue Sky, and Roscoe Tripp with Tiny Antelopes.

There's more, as usual, on the full charts HERE. And we have pretty much the last gasp of new tunes for the year on the Available For Airplay list, including albums from Melody's Echo Chamber, Mindchatter, and Tom Smith (of Editors), an EP from Teenage Bottlerocket, and more... of that. Enjoy and I'll meet you back here same time next week for the final charts of the year!
