After weeks of multiple singles reaching the Chart Show Hall of Fame, Ondara is the only entry to the HOF this week with the COVID inspired "Lockdown On Date Night Tuesday." Run The Jewels takes #1 after just three weeks on the chart with "JU$T" and Beyonce holds onto the top 5 with "Black Parade." There's a fresh batch of new songs on the chart which are joined this week by new entries as My Morning Jacket debuts in the top ten with the first single from their new album "The Waterfall II." The Avett Brothers and Fiona Apple also land spots ahead of last week's newcomers Arca and Khruangbin who both slide to the bottom of the list. Joan Jett holds onto #20 after three weeks with her cover of "Jeepster," and Kathleen Edwards is one week closer to HOF status with "Options Open." Artists to watch for next week include Bully and Leon Bridges who have both steadily climbed the chart over the past weeks along with The Chicks who jump ten spots this week with "March March."
