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

Friday is here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. Jamaican pop/reggae artist OMI scores his first #1 hit, while New York alternative rock band X Ambassadors (pictured above) climb into the top-5. Former big hits by Kenny Chesney, Duke Dumont, and Alesso drop off my list, while songs from Beck, Tyrese, and Rob Thomas make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Party down in P-Town!
