And our brand new #1...

1 L'ETAT by KMFDM (Re, Peak 1x1, Weeks 6)  

Next week: A lot of political events from the past month cause a lot of politically motivated songs to re-enter, gain, or debut due to these events: the continued ICE problems (ie Una Velita), to the Macklemore removal mess (ie Hind's Hall), to Olivia Rodrigo continuing to bash Trump and his evil plans (ie Serena Joy), to the anniversary of Martial Law in my country (Magkaisa, which is expected to return to #1). This all collides with several re-entries from some songs kicked out by the last three album bombs, plus some new music releases.
