twostepcub's music chart for January 6. 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to roll out my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Bruno Mars reigns for a seventh week, while country singer Brett Eldredge (pictured above) climbs into the top 10. Former big hits from X Ambassadors, Luke Bryan,  and Crystal Waters drop off my list, while songs from blink-182, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Here's to the roller coaster of hell that's 2017...
