twostepcub's music chart for January 16, 2015...

Hey gang, Friday is here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Hozier is at #1 for a fourth non-consecutive week, while Nick Jonas (pictured above) climbs into the top-5. Songs from Gorgon City, Arctic Monkeys, and Hozier make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj and Charli XCX drop off the list. You are guilty, how you ever entered into this life!
