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

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Sia racks up a fourth week at #1, while Drake (pictured above) moves up a couple in the top ten. Songs from Justin Moore, Lee Dagger/Bex, and twenty-one pilots make the biggest jumps on my chart (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Kenny Chesney, Rachel Platten, Volbeat, Toy Armada/DJ Grind/Inaya Day, and Flo Rida drop out. It's a sauna in here!
