Appropriately enough, on the show that is the original home of the Global Shout Out,
our #1 this week is globe trotting in support of his new album. Noel Gallagher posted this on his website on Monday: "Now then... What's happening? Out or nowt? Probably nowt eh? So I get to Korea... South Korea to be precise... Seoul in fact to be exact." That's as much as I can quote before he swears, be warned, but he goes on to describe how much he loves the place and its people! He is even chuffed to be given a good painting of his brother?!? He makes his way around the world to Chicago for a show on May 29.

Father John Misty stopped by our studio while in town last weekend for a sold out show at First Avenue. He talked to David Campbell about his new record, I Love You, Honeybear: "I think that for me, with this album in particular, intimacy was a way for me to kind of cut through all this ideology."

Jack White is back with a bang at #4 after a week's hiatus, just in time for Record Store Day which he's a huge supporter of. Third Man Records announced that they have no plans to take it easy on Record Store Day 2015, which falls on April 18 this year. Elvis Presley's first-ever recording—the record that Third Man Records calls "arguably the most important piece of rock and roll memorabilia in the world" and that White bought at an auction in January for $300,000—will be on display behind bullet-proof glass and watched over by an armed guard in the Nashville store.

Local breakout stars Hippo Campus are the highest brand new entry. They played a sold out show at the Varsity Theater last week in support of the Mowgli's who they're touring with for the next month. It was also announced that Hippo Campus will perform at Chicago's big Lollapalooza music festival in August.

The Decemberists are inducted into our Chart Show Hall of Fame for the fourth time, putting them back in the top 20 of the All-Time list. Always nice to hear that our friends on the East Coast enjoy one of our fave bands. The Boston Globe's review of the first of two sold out gigs calls the Decemberists' live show "first-rate" and a two hour "magical journey."

Mumford and Sons are back! They're new at #15 with the first from their forthcoming "no banjos" album. they are warming up for their big return tour by playing a small club gig in New York City over the weekend. Those gentlemen of the road will almost reach us, stopping over in Waverly, Iowa the weekend of June 19.

An old friend of Mumford is back at #17. Laura Marling has explained that her new album was inspired by living and traveling in the USA for the first time. You can watch a charming short movie for another song off her new Short Movie album which features some new friends she found along the way including famed Los Angeles collaborator Jonathan Wilson.

Hot Chip are also back after a five week hiatus! Slow burn for the new song about their favorite Nikes?!
