LSD (3) - Alt-8 Week of 8/4/18

Hi everyone. I have to say, this was the best week the Alt-8 has seen in a while. I also have to say, I'm running out of things to talk about in these intros. Anyways, here's this week's exits:

• Layto - Little Poor Me (#8)
• Rex Orange County/Benny Sings - Loving Is Easy (#7)
• The Wombats - Lemon To A Knife Fight (#6)

8. King Princess - 1950 (RE-ENTRY)

7. Imagine Dragons - Natural (DEBUT)

6. AJR - Burn The House Down (#3) [-3]

5. Weezer - Africa (#5) [=] {6 Weeks At #1}

4. Death Cab for Cutie - Gold Rush (#4) [=]

3. CHVRCHES - Miracle (RE-ENTRY)

2. Twenty One Pilots - Jumpsuit (#2) [=]

1. LSD - Genius (#1) [=] {3rd Week At #1}

New Entrants

~1950 comes back for... unclear reasons. I have a friend who absolutely loves this song, and I really don't get why. Maybe I'm just tired of it, but who knows...

~Miracle is also back, and I have to say I've really grown into this song. I hope it can stay for a little bit.

~Lastly, we have a song that is currently doing well elsewhere in Natural by Imagine Dragons. I don't like the screaming in the chorus at all. But I do like the rest of the song. I think Dan Reynolds sounds good when he isn't screaming, and the instrumentation works pretty well. I don't know if this will last with me, but for now it's solid.

Blurb Rush

~In terms of our exits, Lemon To A Knife Fight and Loving Is Easy sucked. So stay away. Little Poor Me was good, but I don't care if it comes back.

~Not much activity this week, as only one song actually moved at all...

~That moving song belonged to AJR with Burn The House Down. While I like the song, I don't mind that it's bid for #1 seems to be over. It had a solid run.

~I've totally grown into Gold Rush. I don't know what it is, but something about it just speaks to me now. 

~Genius holds the #1 spot. It's still my favorite song here, but I wouldn't mind Jumpsuit or even Gold Rush getting a week in there, as they're more alternative.

~It seems as if Africa's run is coming to an end. It's still on hit-bound so it won't be out of our lives for good.
