twostepcub's music chart for December 4, 2015...

Friday is here, and I'm ready to roll out my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Adele claims the throne in just her fourth week on my chart with "Hello", while country hunks Dan + Shay (pictured above applying) hold in the top-5. Former big hits from AWOLnation, Robyn, and Ultra Nate' drop off my list, while songs from Coldplay, Ralphi Rosario, and Nick Jonas make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Dear Santa....
