twostepcub's music chart for April 18, 2014...

The end of the work week is upon us, and it's time to run down my top 100 songs from the past 7 days. This week Pharrell holds tight at #1 for a sixth week, while DJ Tiesto (pictured above) jumps into the top-10. Former big hits by Betty Who, Toni Braxton, and Luke Bryan drop out of my chart, while songs by Duke Dumont, Ray Lamontagne, and the Chainsmokers make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Can we have spring again, pretty PLEEEEZ?
