Landing at no. 1 for the second week in a row is Polo & Pan... But Wet Leg is just one play behind with their new single "catch these fists" — it's the viral art-punks' first new music since they scored a couple of Grammys for their self-titled, 2022 debut LP. Side note: Remember when the LAPD shut down their performance in Anne's backyard? Fun times. Obongjayar lands at no. 3 with his new single "Sweet Danger;" Yukimi and The Altons each see their new LPs fall by exactly one spot each to round out the top five. 

Trending Upwards: Hannah Cohen's new album Earthstar Mountain continues its steady climb into the top ten. Plus, Adrian Quesada's "Ojos Secos," with its sweet assist from Cuco, also jumps up eight spots into ninth position. 

New and Notable: The Marias, John Carrol Kirby, and The Hives are all in on the strength of their respective new singles. And Gnonnas Pedro & His New Dadjes Band have cracked the top 30 for the first time with a new collection of songs from 1974-1983.
