Brigitte Calls Me Baby land another song in the Chart Show Hall of Fame after 10 weeks on the program as "Too Easy" hits No. 5. Meanwhile, Minnesota artist Ber rises to No. 1 ahead of The Linda Lindas and Jack White. Ezra Collective and Gigi Perez drop off the table this week, making room for debuts from Valerie June (“Joy, Joy!”) and Lucius (“Gold Rush”). And it's the collaboration between Brandi Carlile and Elton John that feels destined to climb the chart in the coming weeks with "Who Believes In Angels?"

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 Tyler Childers at Target Center in Minneapolis on Wednesday, April 9.

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!
