The Chart Show: Lizzo's latest single is 'Good As Hell'
by Mark Wheat
May 19, 2016
Kendrick Lamar, No.1 for the second week in a row, is rewriting how to do business this summer: Instead of touring extensively through the States, he's booked a handful of festivals in Europe including London's Hyde Park, New York City's new Panorama Festival and in Los Angeles' FYF Fest. Lizzo on the other hand, up to No.2 this week, will be 'banging at Boom Island. Her posse GRRRL PRTY are performing at Rock the Garden on June 18 along with Nathaniel Rateliff, Polica and more.

Andrew Bird, who was just announced as a performer at this year's expanded Festival Palomino lineup, climbed seven places to No.3 this week.
Taking a break from touring before jetting off to Barcelona for the big Primavera Festival in June, No.4 Har Mar Superstar is rumored to be co-hosting the Grumpy's stage this weekend for the Northeast Minneapolis' massive art and music Art-a-Whirl weekend.
The Kills, up three places this week, play First Avenue next Wednesday. They certainly killed it on Monday's Tonight Show.
Anthony Gonzalez has taken his M83 experience down under this week, apparently impressing a Sydney reviewer: "There was never a dull moment and never a time when a smile didn't seem appropriate." He'll be Stateside next weekend to play the massive Sasquatch Festival with The Cure, Florence + the Machine and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, who are brand new at No.19. Thao loves making silly videos with Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs who helped her produce the new album.
Like Minnesota's own Sonny Knight, Charles Bradley was "re-discovered and reenergized" by younger musicians at Daptone Records, home of Sharon Jones. He's new at No.20 this week and will bring his scintillating live show to
First Avenue next Thursday.
