The big news in the top 10 is the rapid rise of the new Black Keys single "Lonely Boy", which leaps 17-6 in only it's third week. It's the lead track from their upcoming El Camino CD, due next month, but the track---and its video--is catching on. It's already #6 on the Alternative Chart in only its second week; from what I remember, it took about 16 weeks for "Tighten Up" to get to that position. It debuts at #91 on the Billboard Hot 100, only four notches lower than "Tighten Up's" peak. Also, the video features a guy dancing throughout the second; the guy, Derrick T. Tuttle, was a guess on the Ellen DeGeneres show earlier this week. While their last album Brothers, was a breakthrough hit in Alt-rock circles, and contained the #1 alternative (and my 2010 year end winner) "Tighten Up", and my #2 "Howlin' For You", this one could break through to mainstream success, a big achievement considering the scene's current resistance to rock (Foster the People notwithstanding). Florence + the Machine now has two songs in the Top 10 as "Shake It Out" joins "What the Water Gave Me"
In the second 10, Adele, which I admit I was getting a bit tired from, makes a big jump from 19-12 with "I'll Be Waiting", taking ten weeks to get there. Also, contrary to last week's blog, the third single will be "Set Fire to the Rain", and not "Rumor Has It". Apparently, reports of radio airplay, digital sales and You Tube hits are leaning more towards "Fire", hence its selection. That song peaked at #9 here (as opposed to #1 for "Rumor"), but again, I was getting a bit tired of Adele at that point. "Fire" re-enters my chart at #95 this week. Despite her still out of commision after voice surgery, she remains popular and I have been giving her album another listen....kind of a second wind. I will be adding "Lovesong" next week (I would have this week, but I forgot!), and I may add another track as well, possibly "One and Only". Real Estate, and Sleeper Agent, the latter a six-piece from Kentucky who are touring with Cage the Elephant, debut in the top 20.
Last week's Top Debut is this week's mover, R.E.M.'s "We All Go Back to Where We Belong". Another one is Graffiti6's "Free" at #59. The Top Debut is a band called The Knux, with "Razorblade". They are actually a duo who meld alt-rock with hip-hop overtones. Eraser is their second full-length album, released back in September. They will be at Maxwell's in Hoboken on November 21.
RACHEL STAY? Finally, Rachel Allen's "Lovely Lily" drops to #18 this week. Unless it stablizes next week, it would be the first time since January 17 that the local songstress would be absent from the top 20. No word on when her new single "Ain't No Fun" will be released.
