NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] Brooklyn quartet Geese rules the roost for a third straight week with their fourth studio album, Getting Killed. Though the album dips slightly in points, it opens up a wider lead over the #2 album this week and has more than double the points of the next climbing album on the chart (The Last Dinner Party, up 6-3). The band also enjoys a third week atop both the NACC NEXT and NON-COMM Charts.
2] Just one album reaches the top tier this week. It comes from Aussie singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Kevin Parker, who records as Tame Impala. His fifth studio album, Deadbeat, rises 11-6. This is his second Top 10-peaking album. His previous LP, The Slow Rush, reached #1 on the NACC 200 in 2020.
3] The week’s highest debut is the sixth album from English band Florence And The Machine. Led by Florence Welch along with a seven-piece-strong Machine, the band has been making music since 2007. Everybody Scream jumps aboard the NACC 200 at #25. For all their success, this is interestingly our first time to showcase them on our Weekly NACC Chart Recap.
4] Racing up the chart at a faster clip than anyone else this week is one of the acts that tied for ‘most-added’ honors last week. Irish band, and non-ketchup enthusiasts, Just Mustard, soars from 189-26 on the NACC 200 with their third studio album, WE WERE JUST HERE.
5] The most added album this week comes from a new group, Snocaps, that includes some musicians who are College & Non-Comm radio favorites—formed by Katie Crutchfield (who you may know better as 2024 NACC 200 chart-topper Waxahatchee) and her twin sister Alison, a respected musician and songwriter in her own right. The group features close collaborators MJ Lenderman (another 2024 NACC 200 chart-topper) and Brad Cook. Their surprise self-titled debut album collects 65 Top 10 Adds this week and debuts at #133 on the NACC 200.
GENRE CHART HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK
1] Courtney Barnett enjoys a second week at #1 on NACC Singles with her new song, “Stay In Your Lane.” While no new album has been announced yet, the single has been heralded as the kickoff to “her next musical chapter.” She also rises 32-29 on the NACC 200.
2] Blues legend Buddy Guy enjoys a thirteenth week atop NACC Blues this week with his 20th album, Ain’t Done With The Blues, and in doing so now has the longest run any artist has spent atop any NACC Chart in 2025.
3] NYC band Biohazard has been making music off and on since 1987, with a current lineup that boasts three original members and a fourth who joined in 1988. Their tenth album, Divided We Fall, is the first record on the NACC Heavy Chart this year to rebound to #1. The NACC Blues and Non-Comm Charts are the only ones left this year where no one fell from and climbed back to #1.
4] The NACC Folk Chart reaches the same number of #1s that it saw in 2024, and the album matching last year’s total comes from Alison Brown & Steve Martin. Yes, that Steve Martin. Their collaborative album, Safe, Sensible And Sane, rises 5-1 this week.
