twostepcub's music chart for July 24, 2015...

Friday is finally here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Pop-reggae artist OMI spends a second week at #1 with "Cheerleader", while Rachel Platten (pictured above) takes her "Fight Song" into my top-5. Songs from the Weeknd, Beck, and Jessica Sutta make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars, the Zac Brown Band, Vance Joy, Audien, a Thousand Horses, and Axwell & Ingrosso drop off my list. Man, it's hard coming back from vacation!

Club legends Martha Wash ("It's Raining Men"), Evelyn "Champagne" King ("Shame"), and Linda Clifford ("If My Friends Could See Me Now") team up as the First Ladies of Disco for the single at #93, "Show Some Love"...
