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.

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.
