Thee Black Boltz, the debut solo album from TV On The Radio's frontman Tunde Adebimpe, has come for Polo & Pan's crown at last. But the French-electro duo's 22:22 proves it's staying power by holding firm in the top five. Elsewhere in the top five, HAAi's single "Shapeshift" jumps 10 spots from last week, all the way up to no. 2. P.S. Get way more HAAi by revisiting her live Guest DJ mix for FREAKS ONLY. Plus, Stereolab lands at no. 4 and Wet Leg's "catch these fists" rocket's back up the list to take no. 5.
Trending Upwards: The Marías' "Back to Me" jumps 16 spots to no. 12 following their 2nd weekend at Coachella. Vegyn's remixes of Air's Moon Safari moves on up to no. 13. Japanese Breakfast just misses the top 5 following their live performance (en route to Weekend 2 of Coachella) on MBE.
New and Notable: Bardo, Droogie Otis (Your Old Droog x Madlib), L.A. Witch, Madison McFerrin, and Tortoise each make a KCRW chart debut with their respective new releases.
