twostepcub's music chart for July 27, 2012...

Hey folks, it's Friday, and that mean's it's time for my top-100 tunes of the week. This week Carly Rae Jepsen spends a seventh week at the top, while country hunk Dierks Bentley (pictured above) moves up in the top-10. Songs by the Zac Brown Band, fun, and Train make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by Soundgarden, Swedish House Mafia, and Katy Perry drop out. Link-o-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on any of the artists' names to be connected to their official website. Up, up and away!

The highest debut on my list this week belongs to the Scissor Sisters, who recruited it-DJ Calvin Harris to produce their latest single, "Only The Horses". The group has scored ten top-40 hits in the UK, including the #1 "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" in 2006...

Pink returns in a big way with a song that's already in the US pop top-10, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)". She's had a dozen top-10 hits in the US, with three #1's ("So What", "Raise Your Glass", and the collaborative remake of  "Lady Marmalade")...and here's the brand spankin' new clip for it...

Oakland's Eric Frederic records under the moniker of wallpaper., and his "Best Song Everrr.." is making the dance club rounds right now...

Cincinnati's Walk The Moon pop in with a song they took to the top-10 on the rock chart, "Anna Sun"...

Country vocal quartet Little Big Town have had three top-10 hits on that genre's chart, including the #4 "Bring It On Home", and they preview their upcoming fifth album Tornado with a song that's close to being their fifth, "Pontoon"...

Florida-based power-pop group Junior Doctor place their first hit on my list with "Uh Oh"...

Parisian Shy'm (her mother is French, her dad from the French Caribbean island of Martinique) places her sixth top-10 hit in France with "Et Alors!" ("And Then!") I featured her hit "Si Tu Savais" in 2009.

That's it for today! Thanks for droppin' by, and stay tuned tomorrow for my "chart sweeps" of Billboard magazine's pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance charts tomorrow afternoon. Cheers!
