Janelle Monae and Bruce Springsteen end their ten week run on the chart reaching Hall of Fame status with "Turntables" and "Letter To You." Kathleen Edwards moves up to #3 and Adrianne Lenker holds onto #4 with "anything." Glass Animals bounce back up the chart edging closer to HOF status, while IDLES and The War and Treaty move into the top ten. New entries this week come from The Strokes with a song from their unexpected 2020 album, The New Abnormal, as well as new singles from Foo Fighters, Jade Bird, and Billie Eilish. Minnesota's Monica LaPlante and Mixtape for the Milky Way hold steady this week while Perfume Genius drops to #20.
