No one came anywhere near Little Dragon’s crown this week. But with Disclosure managing to pull just shy of double-digit spins for their surprise new LP Alchemy with far fewer days to play than any other title on this list, we anticipate a real shake-up in the foreseeable future.
New and notable: Panda Bear & Sonic Boom celebrate touring for the first time as a duo by transmitting Adrian Sherwood’s Reset In Dub version of their 2022 cut, “Whirlpool.” Plus, drollest-of-the-droll UK rock band Yard Act return with their first song of ‘23 — “The Trench Coat Museum” — and Genesis Owusu drops his latest STRUGGLER bop, “Tied Up!” Catch ‘em all on our Top 30 Spotify playlist.
