What are your neighbors listening to? Oxford Karma decided to survey Oklahoma mainstay Guestroom Records about its top-sellers each week to figure out just that. Here’s what was flying off the shelves/out of the crates this week:
1. Courtney Barnett – Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit
2. D’Angelo – Black Messiah
3. Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly
4. Modest Mouse – Strangers to Ourselves
5. Purity Ring – Another Eternity
6. Bjork – Vulnicura
7. Jeff the Brotherhood – Wasted On The Dream
8. Phosphorescent – Live at the Music Hall
9. BadBadNotGood/Ghostface Killah – Sour Soul
10. Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear
Australia’s greatest export since the koala (or maybe Chris Hemsworth) has been slaying critics with her full-length debut LP, and listeners have followed suit. Fellow critical darlings (and holdovers from last week) D’Angelo and Kendrick Lamar were also quite popular, while Modest Mouse and Purity Ring continue to keep a strong grip in the top five.
Iceland’s greatest export since … well, ice? I don’t know. Anyway, the intergalactic princess referred to as Björk by us simple human beings beams down at No. 6 with her 2015 album Vulnicura, while Jeff the Brotherhood’s Warner Bros debut that wasn’t punches in at No. 7. BadBadNotGood maintains a foothold on that No. 9 slot, while Phosphorescent and Father John Misty pop back in after recent departures out of the top 10. Maybe the romance isn’t quite dead after all.
