twostepcub's music chart for February 12, 2016...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. We finally get a new #1 song after nine weeks courtesy of twenty-one pilots, while Rachel Platten (pictured above) sees her second top-ten hit climb a pair of notches. Former big hits from Tim McGraw, Fleur East, Lucas Nord/Tove Lo, Rudimental/Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, and Jess Glynne drop off the chart, while songs from Freischwimmer, DNCE, and Taylor Swift make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy corporate romance shame day!
