twostepcub's music chart for July 26, 2013...

Hey gang, Friday's here, and time for my top 100 tunes for the week. This time out Robin Thicke spends a second week at #1, while Bruno Mars (pictured above) shimmies his way into the top-10 with the third single from his latest album. Singles by Ciara, Empire Of The Sun, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from 30 Seconds To Mars, fun, Lady Antebellum, and Pitbull drop off my list. My name is Carlos. Carlos Danger.
