twostepcub's music chart for September 2, 2016...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. Sia hangs in for an eighth week at #1, while Icelandic rockers Kaleo (pictured above) climb a pair of notches in the top ten. Former big hits from Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, DNCE, the Avett Brothers, Alan Walker, Mike Posner, and Chris Young/Cassadee Pope drop off my chart, while songs from Kristine W, The Revivalists, and Ariana Grande make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Wake me up when September ends...
