twostepcub's music chart for March 13, 2015...

I'm ready to run down my top 100 tunes from the past week. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars spend a seventh week on top, while Thomas Rhett (pictured above) climbs up four notches in the top ten. Songs from Ellie Goulding, Axwell and Ingrosso, and the Ting Tings make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, and Kenny Chesney drop off my list. Two Friday the 13ths in a row? Augh!
