twostepcub's music chart for May 31, 2013...


Hey gang, it's Friday, so time again for my top 100 tunes from the past week. Justin Timberlake takes over the top spot, while Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with Ray Dalton (pictured above) move up the top-10. Songs by Daft Punk, Robin Thicke, and Fitz & The Tantrums make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by Avicii, Atlas Genius, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Young, Lee Brice, Bruno Mars, and Charlie Wilson drop out. Lord, it's hot! and Happy Birthday Cori!
