Chart Attack, Charity Chart Chat >>
-by Chris Burland
After fighting its way to the top of the heap, Feist's The Reminder tops the national campus radio chart for the second straight week.
Following closely on Feist's heels is a former #1 album, Frog Eyes' Tears Of The Valedictorian, at #2. Another former #1, Joel Plaskett Emergency's Ashtray Rock, moves back up two places to #3. Immaculate Machine's Fables climbs 19 spots to #4, while the Stars remix album, Do You Trust Your Friends, rises 28 positions to #5. Blonde Redhead's 23 drops three places to #6, staying just one step ahead of last week's Chart Sizzler winner, Shapes And Sizes' Split Lips, Winning Hips, A Shiner. Dog Day's Night Group rises four places to #8, Battles' Mirrored climbs a notch to #9 and Bjork's Volta stumbles six spots to #10.
Plague Park Montreal duo Handsome Furs take the Chart Sizzler honour for having the highest debut on the chart. Their first effort, Plague Park, enters at #17 on the strength of top 30 airplay on eight Canadian campus stations — most notably #1 on CFRE (University Of Toronto's Mississauga campus), #4 on CJAM (Windsor), #5 on CJSR (Alberta) and #9 on two of the largest alternative radio stations in Montreal, CISM and CIBL. The Chart Sizzler runner-up was The Choir Practice's self-titled album at #20, followed by Black Moth Super Rainbow's Dandelion Gum at #28.
Prezens There was quite a turnover on the five specialty charts. Moka Only's Vermillion on the hip-hop countdown was the only #1 from last week to survive. Cephalic Carnage's Xenosapien jumps a single place to take over #1 on the Metal/Punk chart. Montag's Going Places moves up four spots to top the Electronic chart and Balkan Beat Box's Nu Med roams freely up seven places to capture the World/Folk flag. Finally, David Torn's Prezens enters the Jazz/Blues top 10 at #1. Prezens hit #1 on the strength of #2 rankings on both CFUV (Victoria) and CJSR, as well as #4 on CKUT (McGill). 06/12/07 >> go there
