twostepcub's music chart for August 30, 2013...

Hey gang, the start of a holiday weekend (in the US) is upon us, and time to roll out my top 100 tunes from the last week. Robin Thicke twerks in at #1 for a lucky seventh week, while Anna Kendrick (pictured above) makes it into my top-10. Songs by Jason Aldean, Pet Shop Boys, and Plumb make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by the Zac Brown Band, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, Antoine Clamaran, and Miguel (finally) leave my list. Vacation again? Woohoo!
