twostepcub's music chart for January 24, 2014...

Hey gang, Friday is finally here, and time for my top-100 tunes for the week. This week American Authors and Christina Aguilera hang tight for a fourth week at #1, while the Arctic Monkeys leap into the top-10 with "Do I Wanna Know" (pictured above). Former big hits by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin drop off my list, while songs by Cher and Tritonal make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Go away, polar vortex!
