twostepcub's music chart for August 28, 2015...

Friday is here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. This time out, The Weeknd earns his first #1 hit, while ginger darling Ed Sheeran (pictured above) climbs into the top-5 for the fourth time from his x album. Former big hits from Of Monsters and Men, David Guetta, Maroon 5, Dave Aude, DJ Snake, and Sia drop off my list, while songs from Meghan Trainor, Kenny Chesney, and Eric Prydz make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Carry on, clangers!!
