twostepcub's music chart for September 12, 2014...

Friday is finally upon us, so it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the past week. Sam Smith sticks around at #1 for a twelfth week, while Sia's "Chandelier" (pictured above) hangs in the top-10. Songs from Amy Grant, Colbie Caillat, and Kem make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Iggy Azalea, Chris Young, Daft Punk, Paramore, Rixton, Bingo Players, and Tiesto drop off my list. The best of intentions...
