twostepcub's music chart for November 8, 2013...


Hey gang, Friday's finally here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes for the week. Lorde reigns supreme for a fifth week at #1, while Bastille (pictured above) jumps into the top-10. Songs by Daughtry, Emeli Sande, and Dave Aude' make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Train and Justin Moore drop out. Chrispy Creme? Really?

There are eleven debuts on the chart this week (highlighted in blue), and if you clock on any of them, you'll connect to their official website. And here they all are on video, after the break...

(Click below to see the rest of the post)


The top entry at #76 is English singer Foxes (aka Louisa Rose Allen) who provides vocals for the song at #24, Zedd's "Clarity" (a contender for my song of the year). She comes in with her first solo single, "Youth"...


Up next at #81 is the current CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Miranda Lambert, with "All Kinds Of Kinds", the fifth single from her Four The Record album...


British X Factor winner James Arthur arrives at #86 with his second single (and first original), "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You"...


The Eli Young Band are back at #89 with "Drunk Last Night". They had Billboard's top country single of 2011 with "Crazy Girl"...


Country singer Jake Owen returns at #91 with "Days Of Gold". On the radio chart it follows four consecutive #1 hits for the artist...


Scottish DJ and producer Calvin Harris' ninth song from his 18 Months album to make my chart, "Thinking About You" featuring vocals from Jordanian singer Ayah Marar, comes in at #93...


Chicago-based dance music trio (We Are) Nexus revive the 1998 club classic from Sonique, "It Feels So Good", and it enters my list at #95...


MS MR, an indie-pop duo from New York, debut on my list at #96 with "Hurricane" (ironic, a year after Sandy...)..


The R&B vocal "supergroup" of TGT, with singled-named artists Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank, pop in at #98 with "I Need"...


French singer Mylene Farmer enters at #99 with her latest, "Monkey Me". She's that country's answer to Sarah Brightman or Kylie Minogue in terms of rabid fanbase..


And scraping the bottom of the barrel at #100 is Britney Spears with her top-5 club hit, "Work Bitch". It took six people to write this. Six.



That's it for my personal list...I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, and my five-part rundown of the songs that made the singles charts in Billboard magazine. Cheers!
