twostepcub's music chart for August 29, 2014...

Hey gang, it's Friday at last, and time to run down my top 100 tunes from last week. Sam Smith holds on to #1 for a tenth week, while OneRepublic (pictured above) jumps up two spots in the top-ten. Songs from Milky Chance, Vance Joy, and Clean Bandit make the biggest leaps on the chart (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while a former big hit from Justin Timberlake drops out. Happy Labor Day weekend, Americans!
