twostepcub's music chart for May 23, 2014...

Friday is finally here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. Fitz & The Tantrums stick around on top for a second week, while the Black Keys (pictured above) climb up four spots in the top-10. Songs by Iggy Azalea, Sam Smith, and Craig Campbell make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from OneRepublic, Pretty Reckless, and Sam Smith (again) drop off my list. Happy Memorial Day summer kickoff weekend every who has it!
