The Chart Show: Voters Write It On Their Heart and Ballot
by Mark Wheat
July 19, 2018
This week brings some exciting new entries to the chart as we lost Lykke Li and Now, Now after a short run on the chart. The highest debut this week comes from local band, Bad Bad Hats with their new single, "Write It On Your Heart." Below that is Jim James debuting at #14, Big Red Machine at #15, and Father John Misty re-enters the chart at #20.
CHVRCHES enters The Chart Show Hall of Fame this week landing at #8 with "Miracle" as five tracks reach their ninth week on the chart which could make for a big Hall of Fame week next Wednesday. Will Childish Gambino, Trampled By Turtles, Janelle Monae, and Margo Price all make it to HOF status? Courtney Barnett might be an obvious contender for the HOF with her big outdoor concert happening this Saturday. Don't forget to cast your votes!
