Minnesota's own, The Jayhawks, capture number 1 on the chart this week with the first single from their new album "Xoxo." Ondara is a close second with the COVID penned song, "Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday," as Britanny Howard slides to #3 with her Funkadelic cover.

Chasity Brown, The Beths, and Phoebe Briders all climb the chart this week as Michael Kiwanuka and Low Cut Connie move downward but closer to the Chart show Hall of Fame. Will Jason Isbell reach another Hall of Fame hallmark with "Dreamsicle?"

Other big moves on The Chart Show this week include the re-entrance of Margo Price with "Twinkle Twinkle" and Car Seat Headrest holding steady in the middle of the ranks at #11. While there were no new entries this week, expect a shake up on the chart in the weeks to come as we turn the page to the second half of the year.

Submit your Chart Show ballot this week for a chance to win a digital download of The Grateful Dead's 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition release of Workingman's Dead.
