twostepcub's music chart for April 8, 2016...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. We have a new winner at #1 with Danish rockers Lukas Graham, while Jonas Brothers off-shoot DNCE (pictured above) makes it into the top-5. Songs from Troye Sivan, twenty-one pilots, and Kelly Clarkson make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Alessia Cara, Keith Urban, Adam Lambert, Ellie Goulding, and Mylene Farmer/Sting drop out. Where's that damn groundhog I'm gonna strangle him!
