twostepcub's music chart for October 12, 2012...

It's time now for my top-100 tunes for the week....this week fun spends a fifth week at #1, while Taylor Swift (pictured above) makes it into the top-10 yet again. Former big hits from Kylie Minogue, No Doubt, Adam Lambert, Keith Urban, and Karmin drop out of the list, while songs by the Swedish House Mafia, Miguel, and Ne-Yo make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Get 'em Joe!

This week there are nine songs debuting on my chart (highlighted in blue, with Mini-Link-O-Rama where you can click to their official website), and here they are, with a little about the artist, after the break...

(Click below to read the rest of the post)


Rocketing in at #25 is the viral video superstar with the Macarena of this generation, Korean comic rapper PSY with "Gangnam Style". What more can I say about this besides the fact that I'd love to see an interview with someone who hasn't seen the video by now...

Coming in at #80 is Latin rapper Pitbull, with Colombian singer Shakira, in the hottest pairing of the week, on "Get It Started"...

Rockers AWOLnation are lead by Aaron Bruno, who was in one of my favorite one-off wonders of the past decade, Under The Influence Of Giants. Their third single to make my list is "Kill Your Heroes" at #87...

One notch below that is Canadian group Hedley, who are huge in the Great White North, and "Kiss You Inside Out" at #88 has already been a #2 hit there...

Puerto Rican singer Noelia has had hits on the Latin chart since 1999, and now she's on my list for the first time at #91 with "My Everything"...

Entering at #96 is alt-rock band Passion Pit, who were on my chart last year with their dance hit "Sleepyhead", and now are here with a song taking off at alt-rock radio (as well as a commercial on TV for I forget what), "Take A Walk"..

British rapper/singer Example pops in at #99 with his top-5 UK hit "Say Nothing". He really should be much bigger in the States by now, a la Calvin Harris..

The final entry at #100 is country singer Kip Moore, with his second song to make my list, "Beer Money"...
