twostepcub's music chart for March 20, 2015...

Friday is here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Modern rock band Walk The Moon take over at #1 for the first time, while Modest Mouse (pictured above) leaps into the top ten. Former big hits from Ariana Grande/The Weeknd, Arctic Monkeys, James Newton Howard/Jennifer Lawrence, and Cazzette/Terri B! drop off my list, while songs from Sam Smith, Andy Grammer, and Dave Aude/Jessica Sutta make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy Spring, Northerners!
