twostepcub's music chart for December 27, 2013...

Hey gang, the weekend is upon us, and time to run through my top-100 songs from last week. Bastille spend a third week on top, while Russo-German producer Zedd with Hayley Williams (pictured above) jump into the top-10. Former big hits by Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean drop off my chart, while songs by Colbie Caillat, The Wanted, and Lily Allen make the biggest leaps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). This is the last week of my "chart year"...I've been counting down the 100 biggest hits of 2013 on my weekly list - you can catch up by clicking here...
