twostepcub's music chart for March 31, 2017...


Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. British singer Rag 'N' Bone man makes it 10 weeks on top, while Bruno Mars (pictured above) rolls into the top ten. Former big hits from Donna Summer/Barbra Streisand, The 1975, and DJ Snake/Justin Bieber drop off my list, while songs from the Chainsmokers/Coldplay, the Pretty Reckless, and Kelsea Ballerini make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). It's only been 1/4 of the year so far? It feels like a decade!
