twostepcub's music chart for June 27, 2014...

The end of the week is here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. This week Sam Smith leaps to the #1 spot, while Paramore (pictured above) moves up a notch in the top-10. Former big hits by Tiesto, Jerrod Niemann, and Demi Lovato drop out of the chart, while songs by Big Data, Magic!, and Ariana Grande make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Vacation time, take one!
