twostepcub's music chart for June 20, 2014...

Friday is back, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. KONGOS spend a third week at #1, while Sam Smith (pictured above) climbs up five notches within the top-10. Songs by Lady Gaga, Joe Nichols, and Brad Paisley make the biggest jumps on the chart (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Zedd, Avicii, Lorde, and the Chainsmokers drop out. Happy summer, everybody in the northern hemisphere!

Estonian dance DJ and musician and protege of Avicii, Syn Cole, debuts at #77 with his retro-sounding first hit "Miami 82"...

Electronica act Big Data also makes its first splash on my list at #81 with "Dangerous" featuring Joywave. Fun fact: go to their associated site Facehawk for a really whackadoo artistic experience done from an Original Facebooker...

Country hunk Lee Brice returns at #84 with his latest, "I Don't Dance". I could teach...

Blues-rock singer ZZ Ward is back at #89 with "Last Love Song" which is a hit both on adult-pop radio and in the dance club play chart...

Cro, a rapper from Germany, sends his #1 hit "Traum" ("Dream") on to my personal chart at #97...

The final new entry of the week is from Chicago-born SecondCity (aka Rowan Harrington), who now calls London his home, with his former #1 UK hit "I Wanna Feel", which samples Toni Braxton's "You're Making Me High"...

That's it for my personal chart...thanks for stopping by, I hope you may discover some new stuff that tickles your fancy...I'll be back tomorrow with my five-part "chart sweeps" of the songs making the charts in Billboard magazine....cheers!
