Haley Bonar finally reaches the top and is inducted to our Hall of Fame for the second time! She'll be celebrating these feats and the release of her new Impossible Dream album at a free show this Sunday outside Sociable Cider Werks.

Submit your Chart Show ballot this week for a chance to win tickets to Brian Wilson's 50th anniversary performance of Pet Sounds at the Orpheum Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 2!

The name is still the White Stripes, but with Meg retired, Jack is playing the songs alone on an acoustic. Reviews have been favorable for the multiple TV performances he's booked this month both here and in U.K. on Later... with Jools Holland.

Regina Spektor jumps an impressive nine places this week. Her Remember Us to Life album arrives next Friday and she starts her world tour next weekend at the famous El Rey Theater in L.A.

Florence is the biggest upward mover, however, with another Hollywood connection: "Wish That You Were Here" will be in Tim Burton's new movie, Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children, which is out next weekend, too.

Dawes will be in town this weekend for The Current's #MicroShow performance series. Sorry, all tickets are claimed for this exclusive event! You can check out the official video for "When the Tequila Runs Out" of a party gone wrong, as they climb to No.11.

Car Seat Headrest will be inducted for the first time if they can hold on for one more week. It might help that Teens of Denial is getting mentioned as one of the best of the year. We are featuring it as our Album of the Week.

Nick Cave creeps — he does everything eerily — into the basement spot this week with the first song from his new Skeleton Tree album, which came out last week preceded by a film Mary Lucia saw and reviewed.
