NEW:

28 Fontaines DC - It's Amazing to Be Young : This is Grian Chatten and the lads's seventh song to hit the chart, a bit more of a subdued affair than the usual rollicksome post-punk stylings. Someone on indieheads mentioned that their music makes them both happy and sad, and that seems to track. Hasn't hit me as hard as most of their previous singles. Previous charting tracks include: "A Hero's Death" (8th) and "Televised Mind (9th) from the 2020 'A Hero's Death'; "Skinty Fia" (4th) off of the 2022 release of the same name; and from the dynamite 'Romance' from 2024, "Starburster" (8th), "Favorite" (10th), and "Here's the Thing" (2nd, 2 weeks).

29 The Wombats - I Love America and She Hates Me : Their seventh charting track as well. I've enjoyed their work since catching them as an unknown to me at Osheaga Festival in 2016. Have given the new album a couple of listens this week and this is one of the standouts for me among the tracks not previously released as singles. A grower, and the second charting song from "Oh! The Ocean", after "Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want To Come" (22nd). This is their seventh song to chart, after "Lemon to a Knife Fight" (12th) and "Turn" (5th) off of 2018's 'Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life'; "Everything I Love is Going to Die" (19th), from the early 2022 'Fix Yourself, Not the World'; and "Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This" (22nd), "Dressed to Kill" (19th) from the late 2022 EP 'Is This What It Feels Like to Feel Like This'.
