twostepcub's music chart for December 25, 2015...

Hey folks, I'm a little late due to Christmas, but it's finally time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Adele holds tight at #1 for a third week, while country singer Cam (pictured above) leaps into the top ten. Songs from James Bay, Disturbed, and Dmitri Vegas & Like Mike with Ne-Yo make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Audien, Hozier, NERVO, Jamie Lawson, Kenny Chesney, Major Lazer/DJ Snake, and Leona Lewis drop off the list. Whew! That holiday went quickly!
