Charts Recap for September 19th -25th, 2022

It’s a new week which means a new weekly top-ten best-sellers chart up at Sonic Boom! The top of our charts are very Northwestern this week with DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE scoring the number-one spot with their latest LP! Asphalt Meadows is the Seattle based combo’s first new record since 2018 and feels like it may be a mid-career renaissance of sorts. Long time fans best not miss this one.

And we’ve got a full-on Seattle classic charting at number three this week. We finally have an official reissue of ALICE IN CHAINS’ 1992 classic Dirt. This is arguably the high water mark of the legendary grunge-group and the record must be in any conversation on bests in the genre. Newly remastered and plenty in stock, get one today!

We’re also blessed to have lots of new music showing up in this week’s charts, including a new one from shop favorites THE COMET IS COMING at number seven! Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam is their latest LP and it finds the UK cosmic jazz trio again breaking new boundaries in their sound. This is an energetic burst of expertly played contemporary jazz with a truly spacey vibe.
