Jade Bird rides up the chart gaining twelve places in week two with her new single, "Headstart." The Chart Show Hall of Fame welcomes three new inductees as Kathleen Edwards reaches #2, The War And Treaty ends their chart run at #5, and UK favorite Glass Animals hit #7 again with the second single from their latest album. Angel Olsen and Father John Misty fell off the chart this week making room for Fiona Apple with a top ten debut, and Lana Del Rey is not far behind her with "Let Me Love You Like A Woman." This year might be remembered as a year of great covers which you'll hear in the posthumous release from Sharon Jones featuring the classic Mickey Newbury song, "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Run The Jewels also enter the chart while Perfume Genius holds on to #20 for another week.
