Portugal. The Man, don't watch a lot of soccer but do have an appreciation for Christiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese hero when they won the European Championship last year and therefore became... The Man. From Portugal! They return to the top for the third full week, a record this year. Appropriately the next single from Woodstock, which is out June 16th, is called ... "Number One"!
Alt-J are inducted to our Chart Hall of Fame for the 7th time putting them at #9 on the All Time Hall of Fame Chart.The Relaxer album comes out next Friday and has the number 3 running through it as a theme. "3WW," by the way, refers to "Three Worn Words" a common reference to "I Love You".
Lorde is also inducted for the third time and she was featured on the Billboard Music Awards this week. Apparently doing a karaoke version of her own song, from her new album which will also be out June 16th.
Lana Del Rey returns after a two week hiatus with the first song released from her new album, another video for "Lust For Life" was premiered this week featuring The Weeknd and The Hollywood sign.
Highest new entry is Dan Auerbach, at #15. His second solo album drops next Friday and he's doing a free show in Nashville, his home town, to celebrate.
The Suburbs did a free show for us two weeks ago, in Mankato! Thanks to everyone who came down to the Kato Ballroom (which is spectacular, you should check it out if you can, like walking into a David Lynch movie!) They will be celebrating the new album at First Avenue August 4th and are new at #16 this week.
Car Seat Headrest are also back this week, and they will grace the stage of Rock The Garden this year! Thanks to all the Members who made that a sell out show and a huge thanks to all the NEW Members who joined this week!
