twostepcub's music chart for July 4, 2014...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. This week Sam Smith remains at #1 for a second week, while Ed Sheeran (pictured above) moves up in the top-10. Songs by Coldplay, Martha Wash, and Big Data make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by American Authors, Christina Perri, and Rascal Flatts drop off the list. Happy Fourth!
