The Chart Show: Glaspy enters the Hall of Fame

May 31, 2018
Childish Gambino holds on to the top spot this week, unsurprising as its video has been watched over 211 million times in the last month since he debuted it on SNL! That performance will be re-run this weekend.
Margaret Glaspy is inducted into our Chart Show Hall of Fame for the second time and Lord Huron for the first. They'll be joining us at our big show at the State Fair this year, with Trampled by Turtles and Lissie.
Courtney Barnett slips one place after only two weeks with the second song from our Album of the Week. She's getting great reviews for the sophomore effort and gives an interesting look behind her success in SPIN's cover story.
CHVRCHES on the other hand have not been pleased with the reviews of their new album, critiquing the media. Pitchfork weighs in this week with a 6.3 rating for what they term an "unsurprising collection of steely synth pop."
Neko Case an old fave from a previous Rock The Garden returns at #15 and one of the guests at this year's festival Low Cut Connie are the highest new entry. Tickets are still available, and you can win some this week for voting!
Arctic Monkeys are back in the basement space with a track from their recently released 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino'. The video for this song is wildly lavish, beautifully shot and features Alex with and without his controversial beard.
