twostepcub's music chart for November 22, 2013...






It's time for my weekly recap of my top 100 tunes from the week, as Lorde rules for a seventh week with "Royals" while English folk-rock singer Passenger (pictured above) moves into the top-5. Songs by the Eli Young Band, Katy Perry, and Darius Rucker make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by Kaskade, Tyler Farr, Gavin DeGraw, and Anna Kendrick drop out. Oh lord it's a fire!
