twostepcub's music chart for May 24, 2013...

Hey gang, Friday is here, and it's time to post my top 100 tunes from the last week. Pink hangs on for a second week at #1, while Ed Sheeran (pictured above, on the left) climbs up the top-10. Former big hits by Cazzette and Taylor Swift drop off my list, while songs from Fall Out Boy, The Neighbourhood, and Nikki Williams make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy Memorial Day weekend!

(Click below to see the rest of the post)





The native New Zealanders who now call Australia's Gold Coast their home, The Stafford Brothers, score the high debut at #86 with their former top-5 hit Down Under, "Hello", featuring rapper Lil' Wayne and R&B singer/Voice interviewer Christina Milian....

The documentary Sound City tracks the history of the legendary recording studio that shuttered in 2011, with Foo Fighter Dave Grohl buying the equipment and moving it to his personal space, where a who's-who of rockers came together to record new material, including Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and even Rick Springfield. The collaboration of Grohl with Stone Sour's Corey Taylor, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, and Kyuss' Scott Reeder, "From Can To Can't", pops in at #89..

Hard rock outfit Shinedown get their fourth single from their Amaryllis on my list as "I'll Follow You" enters at #90...

Blue-eyed soul singer and Canadian son of Growing Pains' Alan Thicke, Robin Thicke returns at #95 with his seductive "Blurred Lines" featuring T.I and Pharrell Williams

The final debut of the week at #99 is Matchbox Twenty with the third hit from their latest album North, "Our Song"...

...and as a bonus, two songs re-enter the chart - one of them, country duo Florida Georgia Line, come back now with the pop remix of their #1 country hit "Cruise" at #98 featuring rapper Nelly...

That does it for tonight...I'll be back tomorrow with another Song of the Day and my five-part "chart sweeps" of the new songs making the charts in Billboard magazine. Take care!
