twostepcub's music chart for January 23, 2015...

Friday is finally here, and it's time to run down my top 100 songs of the week. Hozier lands on top for a fifth non-consecutive week, while Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars (pictured above) dance into the top-3. Former big hits from Bastille and alt-J drop off my list, while songs from Erasure, Hozier, and Kenny Chesney make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Let it snow (tomorrow, I'm off)!
