Jack White’s back-to-basics approach to bluesy rock ‘n’ roll is on full display via his latest LP No Name. Initially, the record only existed as a physical item for shoppers of Third Man Records, but it’s now widely streaming and available for download. And it’s clearly tapped a nerve — after reaching number one on the iTunes charts, No Name can now boast KCRW chart domination as well.

New and notable: JJ & The Mood’s dance-floor-ready rebuke of toxic masculinity, “Tired Of Being Tough,” makes a splashy debut just outside of the top five.
