The Avalanches lock down a second week at #1 with their third album
After a huge 23-1 leap to #1 on the NACC 200 last week, Australian-duo The Avalanches unsurprisingly lock down a second week at #1 with their third album, We Will Always Love You (Astralwerks).

Industry Interview with Mark Rini, GROOV Marketing
“We’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with so many legendary artists. Over the years I’ve had one on one time with artists like Gregory Porter, Charles Lloyd, Terry Gibbs and the late Gerald Wilson as I drove them around to radio stations for interviews.”
January 2021 MD of the Month | Cecelia Fragakis, Radio DePaul
“I live in a Chicago suburb and there’s always a lot of local band showcases going on monthly. Probably the most notable band has to be New Nights. I’ve seen them three times, and each time the experience is better than last. They are super interactive and have a lively crowd. One time the singer joined in a mosh pit during an instrumental, but they always get close and personal with fans which is nice to see. It’s also nice to hear live instruments and be able to see small details you might not see at a huge concert.”
NACC Industry Interview with Dave Sanford, Distiller Promo
“We’ve used DISCO for digital servicing for quite some time so I feel like we were well positioned to adapt to the problems of getting music to people and I think radio did a great job of embracing digital servicing as we went through that transition. The biggest challenges that we are facing are coordinating details and technology related to remote sessions and interviews and getting new music to stand out when people don’t get to discover and connect with bands by seeing them live.”
