Black Mountain Isn't Moving From #1

Black Mountain's In The Future boosted its point total by 143 to solidify its position at the top of the Canadian campus radio chart this week. Cat Power's Jukebox retains its previous ranking, but remains a distant #2. The Magnetic Fields' Distortion at #3 and Jason Collett's Here's To Being Here at #4 switch positions, while Vampire Weekend's self-titled debut holds at #5. Hayden's In Field & Town rises six places to #6, and Hot Chip's Made In The Dark jumps two positions to #7. Cadence Weapon's Afterparty Babies vaults 11 places to #8, while the Juno Original Soundtrack takes advantage of all the film's recent Academy Award attention and rockets up 35 places to #9. The D'Urbervilles' We Are The Hunters rises a notch to #10.

You don't have to look much farther down to find the winner of the Chart Sizzler Award, as Plants And Animals' Parc Avenue enters the top 50 at #11. Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Ensemble's Black Unstoppable, which has briefly charted on the Jazz/Blues top 10 over the past month, was the second highest new entry at #37. Listening Party's Who Are We Missing? enters at #38, followed by K.D. Lang's Watershed at #39.

Weakerthans' Reunion Tour re-enters at #40 after a five-week absence, giving the Winnipeg quartet's latest album a total of 17 weeks on the chart. The second longest chart survivor is Holy Fuck's LP, which slips 10 places to #27, at 15 weeks. Buck 65's Situation has spent 14 weeks on the chart, but plummets 35 spots to #42. Cuff The Duke's Sidelines Of The City, which re-enters at #29, has also spent 14 weeks on the chart.

Buck 65's reign at the top of the Hip-Hop chart is over. After spending six weeks on the chart, Lupe Fiasco's The Cool finally rises to #1. Brutal Knights' Living By Yourself jumps three places to top the Metal/Punk chart and Hot Chip's Made In The Dark climbs four rungs to take honours on the Electronic top 10. Last week's #1 albums remain there on the other two specialty charts: Cheb I Sabbah's Devotion on World/Folk and Out To Lunch's Excuse Me While I Do The Boogaloo on Jazz/Blues.
