Enjoy the long Labor Day weekend with all the barbecue bops you can feast on, added to all the poolside pop you’ve been adding to your summer playlist all season long. Here’s what’s new and hot this week:
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – American Dream (iTunes)
With their much-anticipated first album in over seven years, James Murphy and crew return with what could be the highest new entry on next week’s Billboard 200. “Call The Police” (released as a double A-side single with the title track) is a minor hit on the Alternative chart.
THE SCRIPT – Freedom Child (iTunes)
Led by the single “Rain”, which is climbing at both Hot AC and Top 40 radio, the latest set by this popular Irish trio should make a solid debut on the charts next week, due to little competition. The guys have two top ten albums to date on the Billboard 200.
