NEW:

23 Lady Gaga - "Abracadabra": This is Gaga's first appearance in the current incarnation of the chart. An art-pop banger and I'm loving the industrial aspects of it. My favourite of hers for quite a while. Understand that it's been a bit polarizing, and can definitely see how the nonsense can grow a bit tiresome, but it hasn't yet!

27 Japanese Breakfast - "Mega Circuit": The second single off of J-Brekkie's forthcoming fourth album 'For Melancholy Brunettes (and Sad Women). While "Orlando in Love" was a great introductory setting-the-scene track (which plays like a 'Jubilee' just-missed-the-cut song), "Mega Circuit" is more reminiscent of material from her second album, and hopefully indicative of what the rest of the project will resemble. "Mega Circuit" is her sixth charting song after "Essentially" (number one in July 2019), "Be Sweet" (a record-tying five weeks at number one in April-May 2021), "Posing in Bondage" (#6), "Savage Good Boy" (#12), and the still charting "Orlando in Love".

29 Ben Kweller (feat. Waxahatchee) - "Dollar Store": an emotional indie-Americana track of recovering from loss and despair, building to an emotional release. Beautiful harmonies in the chorus. This is Ben Kweller's first charting song, while Waxahatchee (in a supporting role here) has been a chart mainstay over the past few years. 'Saint Cloud' and 'Tigers Blood' were such fantastic records, and this song could have easily slid onto either.

30 Chloe Slater - "Sucker": This is the third single off of her recently-released EP 'Love Me Please', and her first charting song, a salty song of frustration in pushing back against blind faith in the American dream. Reminiscent of Courtney Barnett, Stella Donnelly, Wet Leg, and other such slacker-ethos indie songstresses. Gave the EP a listen yesterday and very much enjoyed it. Excited to hear more!
