Chart Analysis

Chart Analysis BAND OF HORSES DRIVE FOR FIVE: Forgive us if it sounds like our record is skipping--that’s fine reference for all the old fogies in the audience, eh?--but Sub Pop’s Band of Horses is straining our vocabulary for superlatives in the wake of topping the Mediaguide Alternative Specialty Song chart for a fifth consecutive week with “Is There a Ghost,” the leadoff single from full-length Cease to Begin. An appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman” last week can only help build further momentum for the South Carolina via Pacific Northwest act. Speaking of Cease to Begin, Band of Horses retains a firm hold on the #2 slot on the Album index, trailing only the mighty Radiohead’s self-released In Rainbows. “Bodysnatchers,” which clocks in at #3 on the Song side this week, seems to be emerging as the consensus favorite amongst the panel, although “All I Need” and “Jigsaw Falling Into Place” are both receiving plenty of love, clocking in at numbers 12 and 13, respectively. Making a big move on the Song chart are the Killers (Island) with “Shadowplay,” which vaults 9-2 and helps full-length Sawdust earn a #6 debut on the Album chart. Also making a major move is Bat For Lashes with “What’s a Girl to Do?” (The Echo Label/Caroline), which claims the #6 slot on the Song side while helping full-length Fur and Gold move up to #13 on the Album end. Top debut on the Song chart belongs to the Soulsavers with the aptly titled “Revival” (Columbia) at #7, which helped the album It’s Not How You Fall, It’s the Way You Land to a smashing #4 bow on the Album index. Also making a mark on the Album chart are the Cult, whose Born Into This (New Wilderness/Roadrunner) debuts at #7.
