twostepcub's music chart for December 16, 2016...

Friday's here, and time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. This time out Bruno Mars spends a fourth week on top, while Shawn Mendes (pictured above) climbs into the top 5. Songs from Tony Moran/Jason Walker, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Carrie Underwood make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Green Day, Lady Gaga, Calvin Harris/Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, and KUNGS/Cookin' On 3 Burners drop off my chart.

This is the last "chart week" of mine for 2016; Starting on Monday I'll be counting down the top 100 tunes on my weekly list for the year, ten at a time. Please check it out....
