CIMS Top 10

PARALLEL UNIVERSE TOP 10: Checking the pulse of indie retail, the first CIMS Top 10 of the year, like the mainstream charts during the holidays, doubles as a list of the brightest stars of that world—the ones with current records, that is—along with one ubiquitous ringer:

1. Mumford & Sons (Glassnote)
2. The Black Keys (Nonesuch)
3. Kanye West (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam/IDJ)
4. Florence + the Machine (Universeal Republic)
5. Arcade Fire (Merge)
6. Tron Legacy w/Daft Punk (Disney)
7. Ryan Adams & the Cardinals (Pax Am.)
8. Ray LaMontagne & the Pariah Dogs (RCA/RMG)
9. Kings of Leon (RCA/RMG)
10. Deerhunter (4AD)

Interestingly, of the nine “indie” bands above, five are on majors. Go figure. (1/14a)
