Charts Recap for November 1st - 7th, 2021

It’s a new week and that means we’ve got a new top-ten best-seller chart up and a new best-seller! This week’s runaway number one record is the hotly anticipated Kid A Mnesia reissue from RADIOHEAD. This one collects the two titular groundbreaking turn-of-the-century records from the band into one essential set. The band’s fusion of electronic elements with cerebral rock have been oft imitated but never eclipsed. (Supplies limited on this one! Call for stock status.)

Also a very respectable debut chart showing from SNAIL MAIL with her new album Valentine reaching number three in our charts this week. This is the second proper full-length from Lindsey Jordan’s project and a major step forward in terms of craft and production. It’s been a hit among critics thus far too, even nabbing a rare ‘best new music’ nod from Pitchfork.

And you know the seasons are changing when the VINCE GUARALDI TRIO starts popping up in our charts! A Charlie Brown Christmas is reliably the hottest title in our Christmas section every year, and here it is showing up at number ten ALREADY this first week of November. Watch out for more Christmas titles as the season progresses, we’ve got a stash.
