It’s a great week to be a Minnesota musician for The Current Chart Show, with Colin Bracewell spending another week in the number 1 spot, while other local artists — Trampled By Turtles, The Cactus Blossoms, Dessa and Raffaella — appear on the chart this week. And there were new songs on the chart from Mitski, Julia Jacklin, LCD Soundsystem, and from Zambia-born, Botswana-raised artist Sampa the Great, with her song, “Let Me Be Great” featuring Angélique Kidjo.
