twostepcub's music chart for March 15, 2013...

Hey gang, it's time for my top-100 tunes of the week. This week Macklemore & Ryan Lewis rack up a third week on top, while fun (pictured above) put their third straight hit into the top-10. Former big hits by Brad Paisley, Phillip Phillips, and Rihanna drop off the list, while tracks by Mayra Veronica, Chris Cox, and Krewella make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Vroom Vroom!

Besides Ed Sheeran re-entering the chart with "Lego House", the top debut of the week at #79 is last weekend's Saturday Night Live star, Justin Timberlake, with the second single from his just(in)-released 20/20 Experience, "Mirrors"... 

Up next is the fourth single from Miranda Lambert's Four The Record album, "Mama's Broken Heart"...

Miami dance producer C-Rod (Chris Rodriguez) arrives with his first hit featuring gay dance icon Jason Walker with "Beat Don't Stop"...

While British X Factor star Olly Murs sticks around in my top-5 with "Troublemaker", his followup, "Army of Two" joins it...

Another Brit, Jay Sean, returns with his latest dance hit, "So High". I still don't get though why the song isn't available here in the States while being in the top-5 on the national dance chart for two weeks...

North Carolina native Porter Robinson debuts with his first hit on my list, "Language"...

English boyband One Direction are back with their charity single mashup of "One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)"...

On the other end of the spectrum from 1D, country veteran George Strait comes in with the first single from his next record, "Give It All We Got Tonight"...

American Idol Phillip Phillips follows up his 2SCC top-10 hit "Home" with "Gone, Gone, Gone"...

British newcomers Young Guns take their #1 rock hit "Bones" on to my list this week...

Indie-folk/rock group the Avett Brothers pop in with their second hit to reach my chart, "Februrary Seven"...

The final entry of the week is makes three concurrent songs on my chart this week from Las Vegas modern rock group Imagine Dragons, as "Demons" joins the top-10 "Radioactive" and top-40 "It's Time"...

...and as a bonus, here's Ed Sheeran, who rockets back on the list higher than any of the debuts as his British top-10 hit "Lego House" arrives on American shores...

That's it for tonight....I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day, Candletime, and my five-part recap of the new songs reaching the charts in Billboard magazine. Have a great night!
