twostepcub's music chart for August 23, 2013....

Hey gang, the weekend is just about here, and time for my top 100 tunes from the last week. Robin Thicke holds on to #1 for a sixth week, while country hunk Randy Houser (pictured above) moves up in the top-10. Former hits by Fall Out Boy and Darius Rucker leave my chart, while tracks by Avicii, Lorde, and Depeche Mode make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Chi-Town here I come!
