twostepcub's music chart for December 6, 2013...

Hey gang, Friday is upon us, and time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week, as Lorde reigns for a ninth week with "Royals", while Drake (pictured above) "holds on" in the top ten. Songs by Zedd, A Great Big World, and Ricky Martin make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by Cazzette, Lee Brice, Billy Currington, Florida Georgia Line, and a Lorde's competition for song of the year by Imagine Dragons drop out. Nineteen more days? Augh!
