Run The Jewels return to #1 this week with an impressive eight week run on the chart with "JU$T featuring Pharrell Williams and Zach de la Rocha." My Morning Jacket, Fiona Apple, and Waxahatchee all push upwards into the top 5. Chistine and the Queens drop to #5 and continue to be a Chart Show Hall of Fame hopeful. Sylvan Esso debuts on the chart at #12 ahead of the release of their new album (check out their recent virtual session with us!) and new tracks from Gorillaz and Janelle Monae land at #15 and #16.

We lost chart favorite, Leon Bridges, along with Elvis Costello, and recent entries from Phoenix and Childish Gambino. Khruangbin stays on the bottom of the chart with "Time (You and I)," and The Avett Brothers hold on for another week with "Victory." The greatest gainer this week is Elle King who moved from #14 to #6 with the new single, "The Let Go."
