Sleater-Kinney slam right back on top of the Chart this week. It's the first time in
2015 that we should acknowledge the influence of the ticket giveaway (last week we gave away tickets to their sold out show at First Avenue)! NPR recently had Broad City's hit duo sit down with Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker and Janet Weiss for an extended and often hilarious chat.

It's always interesting to see who else the Sleater-Kinney fans love: St. Vincent and TV On the Radio get a big bump on the Chart this week. That could've been predicted perhaps, but D'Angelo and Run the Jewels have been bubbling under until this week. Now they get on with help from riotgrrrrls?! That's not so obvious but perhaps explains why Sleater-Kinney asked Minneapolis' Lizzo to open for them on their upcoming tour!

Submit your Chart Show ballot this week for a chance to win tickets to Sufjan Stevens' show at Northrop on Wednesday, April 22!

Meanwhile Run the Jewels, debutantes to our Chart, have another unusual opening gig coming up at Madison Square Garden with Jack White! Speaking of unusual, they're apparently seriously planning to remix their entire album using cat meows including Lil Bub?!?

TV on the Radio just got another tentative connection to the hip-hop scene: CeeLo Green just announced that their band name is the title of his surprise new album!

Robert Plant is back with the third song to make it onto our Chart from one of my favorite albums of last year, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar. He's continuing to tour behind its success this year, and in March he performs in South America for Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina and Brazil. He'll be at the massive Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in June, too.

D'Angelo hasn't announced a big tour through America to support Black Messiah yet. He will play the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem on Saturday, Feb. 7 and then spend the spring in Europe. You can watch him on Saturday Night Live this weekend, which will be his first public appearance of the year.

Doomtree also got a nice bump up this week to the #3 spot. Their new All Hands record released this week — it's our Album of the Week. Blogger Andrea Swensson suggests that they could have done better in her review.

As artists continue to look for new ways to release their tunes, Father John Misty has decided that the MIDI format suits him best. He's streaming his new album, I Love You, Honeybear via SAP, a service he developed with Casey Wescott where "popular albums are 'sapped' of their performances, original vocal, atmosphere and other distracting affectations so the consumer can decide quickly and efficiently whether they like a musical composition."

Four artists are inducted into the Chart Show Hall of Fame this week: Kendrick Lamar for the first time, Hozier for the second and the Decemberists for the third time, which puts them at #23 on the all-time Hall of Fame Chart! Jack White jumps to #7 on that Chart with his sixth entry.
