Entrys:
Smashing Pumpkins - Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) is a re-entry

Tom Morello f/ Portugal. The Man & Whethan - Every Step That I Take is the first solo chart entry from the guitarist from Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage...He teams up with PTM and Whethan on a tune that sounds ok...Not great but OK... Not sure if this will make a dent in the top 20

AAA YouTube channel's recommendation:
Death Cab For Cutie - Northern Lights Just as Gold Rush exiting, This follow up from their album "Thank You For Today" is an upbeat tune... Song pretty good..if this song does debut, it can do lil better than its predecessor. 


My top 3 recommendations:
The Blue Stones - Black Holes (Solid Ground)
Max Frost - Good Morning
Morgxn F/Walk The Moon - Home

Blurb Against The Audioslave Machine

* Two good songs leaves us this week... Gold Rush peaked at #6 for Death Cab For Cutie while Miracle did three spots better (#13) than Get Out (#16 in April ) for CHVRCHES

* Ghost is this week's bigger jumper as former #1 Jumpsuit and Loving Is Easy is this week's Biggest Fallers

* Rivers Cuomo of Weezer I guess is spending too much time posting meme spoofs of his album covers than appearing in his music videos... Can't Knock The Hustle has Pete Wentz plays as Rivers Wentz while "Weird" Al Yankovic in Africa plays Rivers Yankovic

* Great Chance  High Hopes will dethrone Natural at #1 next week... Happier could be #1 2-3 weeks later after that
