Interesting: Blitzen Trapper and X (currently #2 and #5 on my overall charts) have never led a weekly chart. That's if you define "interesting" very broadly, to include "things that are inherently trivial, esoteric, and of little utility to anyone."

UPDATE: Blitzen Trapper did it! Go Furr.
UPDATE II: And now, X too. It was wonderful to listen to on election night. Honest to goodness.
