twostepcub's music chart for January 4, 2019...






Friday's here, and it's time to roll out my top 100 hit tunes from the previous week. Marshmello & Bastille hold on to #1 for a third week, while Mumford & Sons (pictured above) make it into the top three. Songs from Death Cab For Cutie, Ellie Goulding/Diplo, and Steve Aoki/BTS make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from OneRepublic, Maren Morris, Hozier, and the Interrupters drop out. That's Speaker Pelosi to you, boy....
