Incubus Returns to Challenge Lykke Li

If you've been following the chart these past few weeks you surely noticed how Lykke Li has gotten all the attention, and she continues to do so this week with yet another #1 - #2 charting. First, it's the 3rd consecutive week at the top, and sixth overall, for her with Love Out Of Lust while Silent My Song goes to #2. Rounding up the Top 3 is Brandon Flowers who holds steady one spot lower with Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts, a song that still has got potential to become his first solo #1.

But it's hard to tell if Lykke Li will replace herself again at the top or if Brandon Flowers sneaks in for at least a week. The reason, that you should all know, is the triumphant return to the chart of another favorite band, Incubus, which scores the Highest Debut at #6 with Adolescents, their 17th chart entry and new single from their upcoming studio album. They last charted in 2009 with Black Heart Inertia, off their Monuments & Melodies compilation album. That song managed to peak at #11 in August of that year and spent a total of 35 weeks on the chart. With three chart-toppers (Dig, Oil And Water, and Quicksand) this one is most likely to follow.

Last week also marked the return of the Foo Fighters with Bridge Burning, becoming Greatest Gainer this week at #7, but it all consolidates now with eight Wasting Light tracks debuting from the #85 to #92 positions. Apart from the Foos, there's a couple of new, first entries: Bear Mountain with Swim at #65 and Olly Murs, with Heart On My Sleeve, as Power Play of the week, at #82.

'Swim' by Bear Mountain

I somehow forget how I came across this track - titled Swim - or how it ended on my iPod, but what I can say is that these feel-good sounds coming from Vancouver, Canada are making my ears happy. Nothing better than throwing some chill out electronic music in the mix to even things out. I'm enjoying this a lot and maybe you will too.
