twostepcub's music chart for November 11, 2016...



It's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Bastille sums up my feeling for the week at #1, while Kenny Chesney and Pink (pictured above) sail into the top five. Former big hits from Yuna/Usher, Dierks Bentley/Elle King, Disclosure, and Kelsea Ballerini drop off my list, while songs from Maroon5/Kendrick Lamar, Brett Eldredge, and Bruno Mars make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Dark times are coming, my friends...
