Animal Collective Stays At #1

After a few weeks of non-traditional movement on Canada's top 50 campus radio chart, things seem to have returned to normal.

Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion is entrenched in the top spot with a substantial 422-point lead over the second place album, A.C. Newman's Get Guilty.

The Bicycles experienced a resurgence as Oh No, It's Love moved back up three spots to #3. It's followed by Malajube's Labyrinthes one-place rise to #4 and Ruby Jean And The Thoughtful Bees' self-titled disc's six-spot jump to #5.

These two moves push The Hylozoists' L'Ile De Sept Villes down two places to #6. Antony And The Johnsons' The Crying Light moves up six positions to #7, while the eponymous release by Timber Timbre jumps nine spots to #8. Hot Panda's Volcano...Bloody Volcano falls six positions to #9, while Jenn Grant's Echoes remains at #10 for a second week.

The Chart Sizzler Award goes to Dan Auerbach's Keep It Hid, which enters the chart at #12. Mi Ami's Watersports arrives at #18, Faunts' Feel.Love.Thinking.Of. debuts at #27 and Vetiver's Tight Knit hits #31 in its first week.

Six albums re-entered the chart this week. Five are found below #41, with the exception being Geoff Berner's Klezmer Mongrels, which returns at #34. Of the other five, only one is notable. Chad VanGaalen's Soft Airplane squeaks on at #50, giving the Calgary native's latest album 21 weeks on the chart.

Novalima's Coba Coba returns to the #1 spot on the World/Folk chart, a position it held two weeks ago before switching places with current #2 album, Rokia Traore's Tchamantche, for a week. Late Of The Pier's Fantasy Black Channel rises a place to #1 on the Electronic top 10. It's followed by Circlesquare's Songs About Dancing And Drugs, which debuts at #2.

The Bad Plus' For All I Care runs the Jazz/Blues table and moves up eight places to #1. There are three debuts on the usually static Metal/Punk chart. Tombs' Winter Hours enters at #1, Sepultura's A-Lex checks in at #6 and Obscura's Cosmogenesis arrives at #7.

P.O.S.' Never Better holds on to the top spot of the Hip-Hop chart for a second week, though fellow acronym lover N.A.S.A.'s The Spirit Of Apollo is charging hard after rising by six places to #2.
