twostepcub's music chart for March 21, 2014...

Hey gang, it's Friday (finally a real weekend for me!) and time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. This week Pharrell sits for a second week at #1, while new act Clean Bandit with Jess Glynne (pictured above) claim their first top-ten single. Former big hits from Avicii, Calvin Harris, Demi Lovato, Lady Gaga, Fantasia, and Florida Georgia Line drop off my list, while songs by Kylie Minogue, New Politics, and Phantogram make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Um, Mother Nature, it's spring already, you can stop with the snow...
