Billy Idol recently played a show in the Twin Cities, and that might have been the trick to pushing his “Bitter Taste” to the number 1 spot on it’s 10th week on the Current Chart Show. And yes, that means that “Bitter Taste” will be entering the Chart Show Hall of Fame this week. Joining Billy Idol in the Hall of Fame is Japanese Breakfast with “Paprika.” Several new entries to the chart this week: Beach Bunny, Minnesota act Hippo Campus, Foals and Jack White who enters the charts in the top 10 with his rocker “Taking Me Back.”

Vote for your favorite new songs of the week and be entered for a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Dessa at First Avenue December 30th.
