twostepcub's music chart for February 19, 2016...

Friday's here, and I'm ready to roll out my top 100 tunes from the previous week. twenty-one pilots spend a second week atop my list, while Cage The Elephant (pictured above) climbs up a couple spots in the top ten. Songs from Foals, Lukas Graham, and 99 Souls make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big huts from Drake, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Jana Kramer, Disturbed, and Jess Glynne drop off the chart. I need to find that damn groundhog....

Indie-pop singer/songwriter Ben Rector claims the highest debut of the week at #69 with his first chart entry, "Brand New"...

Canadian-born singer Karine Hannah now calls New York City her home, and her club jam "I'm Burning Up" with remixing king Dave Aude' finds a home on my list at #77. Dave is also up at #55 with his own "True Original" with Erasure's Andy Bell...[Ed note: Definitely NSFW for naked butts...]

Another dance act, Texan DJ collective Dirty Disco, team up with tribal house music queen Inaya Day at #79 for "Stranded"...

Switching gears, country singer Cole Swindell previews his upcoming sophomore album with his tearjerking tribute to his dad, "You Should Be Here", at #80....

Back to the dancefloor at #81 is French singer/actress Camille with "You're So Beautiful"...

Newcomer Tori Kelly missed out on the Best New Artist Grammy Award this past Monday, but she lands on my chart at #87 with "Hollow"...

Country hunk Brett Eldredge rolls in at #93 with his second single from his Illinois album, "Drunk On Your Love". The first, "Lose My Mind", made my top 100 of 2015 year-end chart...

Also feeling no pain at #94 is alt-metal band Pop Evil with "Ways To Get High"...

British DJ/producer Jonas Blue unexpectedly reworks the folk-rock classic "Fast Car" (originally from Tracy Chapman) as a tropical house jam with vocals by Dakota, and it drives in at #96...

Speaking of folky dance numbers, the Swedish DJ/producer that has had a lot of success mashing up those two genres, Avicii, returns at #97 with "Broken Arrows", with uncredited vocals from country jam master Zac Brown...

The final newbie of the week at #100 is rapper Flo Rida with "My House"...
