A radical change came over in the chart this week. The Horrors dropped from the Top spot after 3 weeks of dominating. The Drums first single off their upcoming album straight in at No.1 on its first week in the Chart.

The Drums join the elite of only three acts to spend their first ever week in the chart at number 1:

27/12/2009 Silvia MIIKE SNOW

03/01/2010 Blueberry LATE OF THE PIER

20/06/2010 Solitude Is Bliss TAME IMPALA

 

 

ANDREJ'S TOP40 ALTERNATIVE CHART

WEEKENDING AUGUST 14TH, 2011

 

The Drums toppped this week Chart with their latest track "Money", the first single off their upcoming sophomore album Portamento, coming on September 13 in the US and UK. Previous to this, the band was directing all their music videos. With "Money", they finally decide to seek some creative direction and went with veteran film director M. Blash, who was responsible for the 2006 feature film, also part of the Cannes Film Festival Directors Fortnight, Lying which starred Chloe Sevigny, Jena Malone and Leelee Sobieski.

The track "Money" marks the first release by The Drums since the absence of band member Adam Kessler. Live members Matheny and Stein also appear on the personnel of the track and feature in the accompanying video.
