The seemingly unstoppable U.K. duo The Heavy Heavy repeat last week and stay in the No. 1 spot on The Current Chart Show. A huge debut for Janelle Monáe, as the multi-talented force “floats” into the No. 2 spot. A few other debuts this week, from the psychedelic Altin Gün, cartoon band Gorillaz, and Depeche Mode with their latest, “Ghosts Again.”
