twostepcub's music chart for November 20, 2015...


Friday is here, and it's time to roll out my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Taylor Swift holds on at #1 for a third week, while big ol' bear Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats (pictured above) leap into the top 5. Former big hits from Fall Out Boy, Silento, and a seasonal one from Demi Lovato drop off my list, while songs from Adele, Duke Dumont, and a resurgent Jess Glynne make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Drive South!

There are nine songs making their debut on my chart this week (highlighted in blue), and if you click on any of them you'll connect to their official website. And here they are on video, after the break...

(Click below to see the rest of the post)

Albanian singer Bleona, who now resides in America and was seen on the Bravo show Euros Of Hollywood last year, claims the top debut of the week at #76 with her club hit "Take You Over"...


Acapella royalty Pentatonix land at #84 with "Can't Sleep Love", their first original pop hit to make my chart...


The perfectly "messed up hair". The small tinge of R&B in his music. The frequently open shirt. The "can't take your eyes off me" eyes. The ideal amount of beard scruff for the ladies. The nerdly romantic lyrics. And eschewing of the normal "bro" cowboy image. These are some of the reasons why I feel Thomas Rhett is country music's answer to John Mayer. And here he is at his Mayerest at #88 with "Die A Happy Man"...


Country duo LoCash, who preceded (as the LoCash Cowboys) then worked off the success of Florida Georgia Line, land their first hit with "I Love This Life"...


Gwen Stefani profits off her divorce and subsequent Voice promo involvement with Blake Shelton with the song at #92, "Used To Love You". It's a race to see which will last longer, this new romance or Lindsey Graham's presidential campaign. Place your bets...


House music legend Ralphi Rosario teams up with singer Julissa Veloz for the tribal treat at #95, "La Jungla"...


British modern rock band Muse follow up their top-5 hit "Dead Inside" with "Mercy", with arrives at #97...


X Factor UK winners Little Mix are back at #99 with "Love Me Like You". Their last single, "Black Magic", made my top-20 and are contenders for my top 100 of the year...


The final newbie of the week at #100 is from German electropop duo Glasperlenspiel, whose "Geiles Leben" ("Live Horny") went to #2 in their home country...
