twostepcub's music chart for September 28, 2012...

Hey gang, it's time for my top-100 tunes for the week. This week fun stays at #1 for a third week, while folk-indies the Lumineers (pictured above) climb up the top-10. A former big hit by the Black Keys drops out, while songs by Karmin, Anita Baker, and Andy Grammer make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy Birthday, Mike!
