NUR-D hits #1 after eight weeks on the chart with "BandAid prod. Cxdy." It's the first time in weeks without a song reaching Hall of Fame status but Arlo Parks is close with "Hurt" rising to #3 just behind Sault at #2. Valerie June and Julien Baker jump into the top ten challenging The Budos Band and SZA who were both steadily on the rise until this week. Common re-enters at #16 with "Say Peace" off the very overlooked album from last year, "A Beautiful Revolution, Pt. 1." Another batch of debuts fill the bottow of the chart including the title track from Kiwi Jr.'s new album, "Cooler Returns," and the viral single, "Stuck In The Middle," by Tai Verdes, as well as Michigander's "Let Down".
