twostepcub's music chart for May 8, 2015...

Friday is here, and I'm ready to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ellie Goulding climbs to #1, while Andy Grammer (pictured above) arrives in my top-five. Songs from Meghan Trainor, Of Monsters and Men, and AWOLnation make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Dave Aude, Axwell & Ingrosso, Thomas Rhett, Vance Joy, Luke Bryan, and Meghan Trainor (!) drop out. Congrats to little Michael man!
