twostepcub's music chart for November 29, 2013...

Hey gang, the weekend is upon us, and time for my top 100 tunes of the week. Lorde reigns on my list for an eighth week, while Miley Cyrus (pictured above) swings into the top ten. A former big hit from Maroon5 drops off my chart, while songs by Empire Of The Sun, The Band Perry, and Katy Perry make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy after-turkey day!
