Our weekly top-ten sellers chart this week has our first releases of 2020 making an appearance! Though our top spot remains unchanged with Lizzo’s Cuz I Love You unshakable at number one. We’ve had a radical reshuffling through the rest of our top-ten. Some 00’s alt-rock making an appearance at #3 and #8, and one of last year’s big surprise sellers popping back up at #2 with mysterious bad boy country crooner Orville Peck’s Pony LP.

Our first new music of 2020 to make a chart appearance is Marigold from Pinegrove. The New Jersey band is back with their heart-on-sleeve twangy indie-rock sound intact. Feel free to read more on the band’s roots and complicated history in a recent New Yorker profile.

And our first 2020 reissue to crack the top-ten is the Pale Saint’s Comforts Of Madness. Long one of the more unsung of the UK shoegaze masters, the Pale Saints deserve their name next to the likes of Ride, Slowdive, and MBV. Comforts Of Madness, originally released in 1990, is an excellent introduction to the groups beautiful noise.
