I thought we would see a pretty good battle, no pun intended, for adds this week but in the end Battles lead most of the way and had a pretty convincing win.
| 1 | 93 | BATTLES | La Di Da Di | Warp |
| 2 | 70 | SHANNON AND THE CLAMS | Gone By Dawn | Hardly Art |
| 3 | 60 | TELEKINESIS | Ad Infinitum | Merge |
Beach House finally took over #1 from Mac Demarco. When I look at all the records behind Beach House its hard to really know who is going to step up and make a run at #1 next.

| 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 7 | MAC DEMARCO | Another One | Captured Tracks |
| 3 | 6 | 8 | 3 | 5 | DESTROYER | Poison Season | Merge |

| 6 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 8 | WILCO | Star Wars | dBpm |
| 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 5 | CHELSEA WOLFE | Abyss | Sargent House |
| 8 | 13 | 94 | 8 | 3 | YO LA TENGO | Stuff Like That There | Matador |
| 9 | 37 | - | 9 | 2 | FOALS | What Went Down | Warner |
| 10 | 9 | 15 | 9 | 3 | BEN FOLDS | So There | New West |

Take this list and now lets take out every record that has no chance at #1 going forward

Yo La Tengo is a stretch as well but the last one took #1 with no indie and a slow build so who knows if they can do it again. Destroyer made a nice move last week but the gap between 3 and 1 is so significant that I have my doubts that they can make that jump before Foals does or even before Battles or Shannon and the Clams does. We might be in for a 2-3 week run with Beach House.
