NACC 200 NOTABLES:
1] Mitski powers her way to a fifth straight week atop the NACC 200 with her eighth LP, Nothing’s About To Happen To Me. The album is now tied with her previous LP, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We, for her second-longest stay at #1. Her 2018 album, Be The Cowboy, remains her longest-running chart-topper at eight weeks. Overall, she extends her record for the most time spent at #1 on the NACC 200 with 21 cumulative weeks.
2] Two albums reach the NACC Top 10 this week, and both make impressive moves. Snail Mail‘s third LP, Ricochet, was last week’s most-added album and leapt aboard the NACC 200 at #19. She soars into the Top 3 of the chart this week (making her three for three with Top 10 album appearances), as she searches for her first NACC 200 chart-topper. The album does get her to #1 on NACC NEXT this week as it rises 6-1.
3] Also rising into the Top 10 is Aussie singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett. After scoring the highest debut of the week last week, her fourth solo LP, Creature Of Habit, becomes her fourth Top 10-appearing album on the NACC 200 as it jumps from 15-6. She takes over the top spot at NACC Non-Comm as well this week, up 5-1.
4] A dual notable mention this week goes to London-based artist Arlo Parks. Her hotly anticipated third album, Ambiguous Desire, has already spawned the longest-running #1 song on NACC Singles this year — she also had three singles charting simultaneously. She takes ‘most-added’ honors by collecting 83 Top 10 Adds (the third most this year) and lands the third-highest debut on the NACC 200 this year, opening at #11. She’s in search of her third straight #1 album in as many tries.
GENRE CHART HIGHLIGHTS:
1] Bellingham, WA quintet Death Cab For Cutie pins down the top spot on the NACC Singles Chart for a second week in a row with “Riptides,” the first single from their upcoming 11th LP, I Built You A Tower. The song also rises to a new peak on the NACC 200, stepping up 17-16 and firing on all cylinders commercially as well, inside the Top 10 at AAA and now the Top 15 at Alternative.
2] Making the biggest move to #1 on any NACC Chart this week is NYC-based duo Fcukers. Their debut studio album, Ö, soars from 19-1 at NACC Electronic. This is the biggest climb to #1 this chart has ever seen (with one asterisk… Ross From Friends debuted at #1 in 2018. But Fcukers now have bragging rights for the biggest climb ever to #1 on NACC Electronic.
3] NACC Folk has been particularly robust with new #1s this year. We’re a quarter of the way into 2026, and we already have more than half the amount of #1s that 2025 saw. Canadian singer/songwriter Cat Clyde scores her first NACC Chart-topper this week, rising 7-1 with her fourth LP, Mud Blood Bone.
