Dessa has held on to the top spot for the third week, certainly assuring her a place on The Best of the Chart Show 2018 show at the end of the year! She's playing up at Lutsen this Saturday.

The Chart Show started in October of 2009, the first inductees on December 17 of that year to the Hall of Fame were: Mason Jennings' 'The Field', Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes' 'Home' and The Rural Alberta Advantage's 'Don't Haunt This Place'. The RAA have finally gotten their third entry! Beck gets his fifth induction putting him at the all important #27 on our All Time HOF Chart. He re-starts the Colors tour down under in Feburary.

Jack White is the highest new entry this week at #7, with the first song released from his forthcoming album "Boarding House Reach". He's the latest performer to try to stop cell phones from being brought into his gigs.

Greta Van Fleet, a young band of brothers from Michigan too, are right behind Jack with their first single release. Ever since we started playing it people have commented on how much it sounds like Led Zeppelin. So what does Robert Plant think of their vocalist? "He's pretty good. There's a job somewhere for him!"

Francis Starlite has often been compared to the vocal style of Peter Gabriel and he's back with his Lights at #11. He managed to surprise the music world with the release of his new album 'Just For Us' coming out in-between Christmas and New Year, when no one else put out an album. This title track features Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.

ODESZA work with a variety of guest vocalists to add to their airy dance floor focused grooves. They're brand new at #18 with a track formed around Leon Bridges. They're also Grammy nominees and the Awards ceremony will be Sunday night on CBS live from Madison Square Garden, back in NYC for the first time in 15 years.

Jason Isbell is back with another song from his hit album The Nashville Sound which is NOT a cover of the old folk song song of the same name. But while his old band The Drive By Truckers are at First Avenue this Saturday, Jason is headlining the Ann Arbor Folk Festival, with John Prine and our own Cactus Blossoms!

And Tune-Yards creep into our lives at #20 with the first song we played from her new album 'I can feel you creep into my private life'. She discussed how the songs reflect her own internal struggle with race from NPR's interview with her last week.
