twostepcub's music chart for November 18, 2016...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Bastille holds tight for a second week at #1, while Bruno Mars (pictured above) looks ready to challenge them for next week by strutting into the top-3. Songs from Jessica Sanchez, Mary J. Blige, and Crystal Waters make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from twenty-one pilots, Bishop Briggs, and the Chainsmokers/Daya (all who have a good chance of making my top 100 of the year) drop out. It isn't getting any easier...
