twostepcub's music chart for February 27, 2015...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars remain on top for a fifth week, while Cage The Elephant (pictured above) jumps in to the top 10. The biggest gainers come from Axwell & Ingrosso, Madonna, and Seether (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Brad Paisley and Sam Hunt drop out. I'm gonna find that groundhog and strangle it!
