twostepcub's music chart for November 25, 2016...

Friday's here, and I'm ready to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Bruno Mars lands in the #1 spot in just five weeks, while Kings of Leon (pictured above) leap into the top-5. Former big hits from Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Pink, and Joseph drop off my chart, while songs from John Legend, Little Mix, and Cole Plante make the biggest jumps (move of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy Thanksgiving weekend...
