twostepcub's music chart for October 23, 2015...

Friday's here, and I'm ready to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Elle King takes over at the top of the list, while the Cold War Kids (pictured above) leap into the top-5. Former big hits from twenty-one pilots, Fifth Harmony, Disclosure, Kelly Clarkson, Dustin Lynch, and Taylor Swift drop off my list, while songs from Cam, Robyn, and Jason Aldean make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). The curse continues, dammit...
