twostepcub's music chart for April 25, 2014...

Friday is upon us, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. This time out Pharrell Williams hangs on for a seventh week at #1, while Fitz & The Tantrums (pictured above) leap into the top-ten. Songs by Luke Bryan, Coldplay, and Avicii make the biggest jumps on the list (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Lady Antebellum and Audio Playground drop out. What is that giraffe doing?
