Welcome to October! It feels like the semester just started... yet Fall Break is next week. Moving right along, AWOLNation has inched into the top spot - earning their first chart-topper since 2020's "Mayday - Fiesta Fever." Imagine Dragons go Top 10, and we have debuts from Green Day, The Marias, Foster the People, and David Kushner. Make sure, as always, to take a glance at the Flashbacks: R.E.M., U2, and The B-52's are looming large in a historical sense this week.
