twostepcub's music chart for June 16, 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ed Sheeran remains on top for a second week, while Alaskan rockers Portugal The Man (pictured above) climb a pair of notches within the top ten. Songs from Miley Cyrus, Sean Finn/Chris Willis, and Shawn Mendes make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Bruno Mars, Zayn/Taylor Swift, Shawn Mendes, Kelsea Ballerini, the New Pornographers, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike/Diplo drop out. I'm ready for my close-up...
