BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED: Debuting on in our Vibe-Raters round-up this week are RCA’s Cage the Elephant and Glassnote’s CHVRCHES. CTE’s “Come a Little Closer” (from the Kentucky band’s third release, Melophobia, streeting on 10/8) is #10 at Alternative and growing at Active, Rock and Triple A; they’ll be seen on the 10/11 Letterman show and will follow their current Muse dates with promo and in-store appearances. Press love includes USA Today, AP, Spin and Rolling Stone. “The Mother We Share” by CHVRCHES, meanwhile, is building at Alternative, with love at SiriusXM’s Alt Nation and heavy play on SoundCloud (1.5m plays), Pandora (200k+ spins per month) and VEVO (500k views). The band’s Bones of What You Believe, streeting 9/24, was voted among the “most anticipated records of the fall” by Spin and Pitchfork. As for the Vibe vets, Ariana Grande is on top and The Weeknd jumps to #5; for a complete rundown, go here. (9/12p)
