twostepcub's music chart for January 15, 2016...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Adele's "Hello" reigns for a sixth week, while Coldplay (pictured in animated form above) leaps into the top 5. Former big hits from Duke Dumont, Carrie Underwood, Faithless, and Calvin Harris drop out of my chart, while songs from Chaos/CeCe Peniston, Robin S/DJ Escape, and Luke Bryan make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red).

The top debut of the week at #71 comes from the twin brother neo-house act Disclosure, with the third single from their excellent Caracal album, "Magnets" featuring Lorde. The first two, "Holding On" with Gregory Porter and "Omen" with Sam Smith, both made my top 30...

Canadian alt-soul artist the Weeknd, who was the sole act to score two singles in my year-end chart for 2015, returns at #79 with "In The Night"...

Pop/R&B singer JoJo is back after a decade with her club hit "When Love Hurts"...

Eric Church brings his brand of country-rock to #90 with the title track to his latest album, Mr. Misunderstood...

L.A.-based dance duo Mako shimmies in at #91 with "Smoke Filled Room"...

Australian songstress Sia moves in at #97 with "Alive"...

The former "Christmas Number One" in Britain (it's a big thing there), the charity single "A Bridge Over You" from the Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir, pops in at #99. It's a mashup of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Coldplay's "Fix You"...

The final newbie of the week also is a "mashup" record from the UK, this time it's 99 Souls with "The Girl Is Mine", which mixes Destiny's Child's "Girl" with Brandy & Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" (with Brandy providing new vocals)...
