twostepcub's music chart for April 17, 2015...

Friday is finally here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Walk the Moon rule for a fifth week, while soul singer Kem (pictured above) climbs up a notch in the top 10. Former big hits from Cage The Elephant, Mary J. Blige, Fall Out Boy, and Gorgon City drop off my list, while songs from Tove Lo, Tony Moran/Martha Wash, and Giorgio Moroder/Kylie Minogue make the biggest jumps  (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Has it really been 25 years?
