Ondara moves to #1 this week with the pandemic inspired release and single, "Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday." Beyonce holds onto her spot at the top of the chart as Michael Kiwanuka and Phoebe Bridgers break the top 10 in their final weeks and graduate to the Chart Show Hall of Fame. The Beths keep #3 in their tenth week and Car Seat Headrest also makes the Hall of Fame this week sliding to #14 with "Hollywood."

Exciting new entries this week include Run The Jewels debuting at #10 with Leon Bridges and Bully close behind. There is a shake up at the bottom of the ranker with Christine and The Queens entering at #18 with "I Disappear In You Arms," and Joan Jett's T. Rex tribute, "Jeepster" at #19. Local favorites, The Jayhawks and Dua Saleh seem destined to stay on the chart for another week as Norwegian songwriter, Aurora, moving to #20. We lost Sharon Van Etten's version of "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace Love and Understanding?" and Perfume genius ends a four week run on the chart.

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.
