Bon Iver remain at the top, the lone No.1 song of the year so far! But that will change next week, as "22 (Over Soon)" is inducted to our Hall of Fame for the sixth time, putting them at No.12 on the All-Time Hall of Fame chart. Wilco are also inducted this week for the fourth time, landing them at No.28. There's been a lot of change on the all-time top 20 over the past year so we wanted to post an update in the new year.
Submit your Chart Show ballot this week for a chance to win tickets to Polica's five year anniversary show at First Avenue on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017!
The xx are favorited to take over the summit next week. Their new album I See You releases on Friday and tickets to their massive U.S. tour are on sale, too, including St. Paul's newly renovated Palace Theater on April 28.
A Tribe Called Quest continue their assent after eight weeks to No.3. As promised, they will be performing live this year, and the first announced date is the second annual Panorama Festival on Randall's Island in NYC in July with Solange, Frank Ocean, Nine Inch Nails, alt-J, Tame Impala and many more.
If we're lucky, Lucius will be back on the road later this year with a new album. They only have one date booked in Charleston in April, but anticipation is high as "The Punisher," their new single (on 10" vinyl no less!), is the highest new entry at No.7.
Last week's Album of the Week was from the band of brothers from Long Island, the Lemon Twigs, and that helped them jump to No.13 on the chart this week. They'll perform at The Current's 12th Birthday Party at First Avenue on Jan. 28 – tickets are available.
Ryan Adams, new at No.16, has his Prisoner album dropping Feb. 17 and in anticpiating of the release, he's appearing on A Prairie Home Companion in Pasadena, CA on Jan. 21.
The highest mover this week, the Shins, debuted two new songs on APHC last weekend. The new album Heartworms will be out March 10 via Columbia.
Temples' first single from their forthcoming album Volcano, which releases March 3 via Fat Possum, just makes the basement spot. Yesterday they posted "Strange or Be Forgotten" on Soundcloud.
