This week on the Chart Show, Kacey Musgraves climbs to No. 1 with “Cardinal,” the second single from her new album, Deeper Well, just ahead of Billie Eilish's hit, "Lunch."

Meanwhile, Pokey LaFarge, Frank Turner, and Hermanos Gutierrez flirt with reaching Hall of Fame status after songs by all of them hit nine weeks on the chart. Sierra Ferrell cuts her distance to the top by a third, climbing from No. 18 to No. 12 with “American Dreaming.” And new song debuts this week include Chappell Roan, “Good Luck Babe!”; Brigitte Calls Me Baby, “We Were Never Alive”; and The Decemberists, “Oh No.”
