The Chart Show: Jewels Run Up The Chart
August 13, 2020
Minnesota's own, The Jayhawks, reach Chart Show Hall of Fame status this week with "This Forgotten Town," and Margo Price also hits ten weeks on the chart with "Twinkle "Twinkle." She and Gary Louris both recently connected with The Current for virtual sessions following the release of new music. Ondara holds onto #1 this week with the COVID inspired "Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday," and Beyonce holds onto a top five chart position.
Two huge moves on the chart come from Run The Jewels rocketing to #2 and Bully landing at #5 with "Where To Start." Both groups climb into the top ten after just two weeks on the ballot. After multiple weeks of Hall of Fame contenders graduating from the chart, there is an impressive number of new entries including new music from Khruangbin, Acra featuring Bjork, Father John Misty covering Leonard Cohen, The Chicks, and a collaboration between Michael Stipe and Big Red Machine. Dua Saleh edges towards ten weeks but drops to #20 with "Body Cast."
