twostepcub's music chart for October 9, 2015...






Friday's here and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. The Weeknd reigns for an eighth week with "Can't Feel My Face", while Demi Lovato (pictured above) climbs up a couple notches in the top-10. Former big hits from Imagine Dragons, Andy Grammer, Nathan Sykes, Frankie Ballard, Jason Derulo, and Jazmine Sullivan drop off my chart, while songs from Ultra Nate, Calvin Harris, and Disclosure/Sam Smith make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). It's puppy boarding time!
