twostepcub's music chart for December 7, 2012...

It's time for my top-100 tunes for the week. This week Muse remains at #1 for a third week, while Bruno Mars (pictured above) is knocking on the top-10's door. Former big hits by Carrie Underwood, Easton Corbin, and Katy Perry drop off my list, while songs by Enrique Iglesias, Olly Murs, and Pink make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). It's tree time!

 There are seven new songs on my chart this week (highlighted in blue), and you can click on any of their names to be taken to their official website. And here they are (after the break)...

(Click below to see the rest of the post)


The top debut this week is by country sibling trio The Band Perry, who preview their upcoming sophomore CD with the deliciously dark "Better Dig Two", and it's made me as excited for a new country album like no other since the Dixie Chicks...

British indie-pop singer Ben Howard takes his cross between Dave Matthews soul and Jack Johnson's breeziness into his first 2sc chart hit, "Only Love"...

If UK boyband One Direction's new song "Little Things" seems like a breath of fresh air from their usual teenybopper dance-pop, you can thank Ed Sheeran ("The A Team"), who co-wrote the song...

Vermont native Morgan Page is hilariously reacting to the Grammy Nominations, where he was snubbed for some Pia Zadora-like poseur who trolled his way to a nod, but in the meantime Page shares a top-20 dance hit with Andy Caldwell and Jonathan Mendelsohn with "Where Did You Go?"...

Another record with three artists involved drops in a rung lower. Country A-lister Jason Aldean is joined by Luke Bryan and Eric Church (both who already have a hit each on my list) for "The Only Way I Know"...

UK X Factor winners Little Mix score the third single on my chart with their "DNA"...

The final entry on my list this week is by British YouTube star Gabrielle Aplin, with her delicate cover of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "The Power Of Love", which seems to be headed to the same popularity that Ellie Goulding's reading of Elton John's "Your Song" did for her on the commercial for the same place, UK's John Lewis department stores...

That does it for this week.... Thanks so much for stopping by, and I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, Candletime, and my five-part "chart sweeps" of the latest songs to debut on Billboard magazine's pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance charts. Have a great weekend!
