JD McPherson enters The Chart Show Hall of Fame this week holding onto the #13 spot on the chart. Arcade Fire hold onto #1 as The National, St. Vincent, Beck, and Courtney and Kurt all slide to the top 5. Jason Isbell is the greatest gainer on the chart moving up to #8 from #20 after just one week on the ballot. Portugal The Man and Iron and Wine fell off the page this week as The Breeders enter the mix at #10 just days after their opening slot with Arcade Fire in Saint Paul.

Alvvays lands at #14 ahead of their show in Minneapolis, and Margo Price re-enters the chart at #16. It was only a matter of time before Sharon Jones would enter the chart with the posthumous release with the Dap Kings. Queens of the Stone Age and Lorde slide down the chart this week after each hit their 7th week on the chart.

Submit your Chart Show ballot this week for a chance to win a pair of passes to LCD Soundsystem at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium!
