twostepcub's music chart for June 7, 2013...


Hey gang, it's time to bring out my top-100 tunes from last week. Justin Timberlake clings to #1 for a second week, with Daft Punk with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers (pictured above) jump into the top-10. Former big hits by Jason Aldean, Depeche Mode, Yoko Ono, and the Swedish House Mafia drop out, while tracks from Sara Bareilles, Robin Thicke, and the Bingo Players make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). DC here I come!

(Click below to see the rest of the post)


The top entry of the week at #72 is dance music veteran Barbara Tucker who provides vocals on Namy's "I Can't Wait"...


Danish rockers New Politics place their first song on my chart at #83 with their top-10 modern rock hit "Harlem"...


Dutch remixer and producer Armin Van Buuren returns at #84 with "This Is What It Feels Like" featuring Trevor Guthrie, who was last seen fronting a fave 90s band of mine, soulDecision, who had the ultra-cool "Faded"...


As I wait to see Adam Levine go postal on The Voice, his band Maroon 5 come in at #91 with the fourth single from their Overexposed, "Love Somebody"...


The second Dutch dance music producer to debut this week is Hardwell (real name Robbert van der Corput) with "Apollo" featuring vocals by Amba Shepherd...


Young country wunderkind Hunter Hayes gets his fourth single on my chart at #94 with "I Want Crazy"...


Eight months after the movie was released, Anna Kendrick's version of the "meme" song "Cups (When I'm Gone)" with it's remixed pop treatment is getting traction on the radio, and makes my list at #96..


British heartthrob Olly Murs is still in my top-10 with "Troublemaker", and now that single's second follow-up track (after "Army Of Two") arrives as "Dear Darlin" is at #97...


Singer/songwriter Ginny Blackmore from New Zealand debuts at #99 with her first single, "Bones"...


...and finally bringing up the rear at #100 is German R&B/pop singer Xavier Naidoo with "Bei Meiner Seele" ("In My Soul")..


That does it for tonight...I'll return tomorrow with another Song of the Day, and my five-part "chart sweeps" of the latest songs to make the Billboard charts...Thanks for stopping by, and see you soon!
