This week on The Chart Show, Lorde enters the Hall of Fame for "What Was That" along with Garbage’s "There's No Future In Optimism." This is Lorde’s sixth entry to the Hall, and Garbage’s second.

Bon Iver, Lola Young, Turnstile, and S.G. Goodman all debut songs this week, and we see a return from Craig Finn and Jesse Welles. If Caamp, The Beaches, and Lana Del Rey hang on one more week, they'll graduate to Hall of Fame status.

Visit the Chart Show ballot to vote for your favorite new songs on The Current for next week’s show. When you vote, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one (1) pair of tickets to Gregory Alan Isakov at Surly Brewing Festival Field in Minneapolis on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

Heads up, Chart Show Voters — to vote on your top tracks of the week on The Current website, you’ll need to create a free account.

Be sure to listen to the Chart Show every Thursday at noon!
