The top 10 songs from last week's chart went through to this week's. The double double of Julia Holter and Joanna Newsom is definitely intimidating, but I can't say I disagree with their placements at all here. It may be a while before we see another song dominate the charts. But who knows? Crazier things have happened in the midst of October.
