twostepcub's music chart for March 17, 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Rag N' Bone Man's "Human" reigns for an eighth week, while the Weeknd (pictured above) climbs into the top-5. Former big hits from blink-182, Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, DNCE, and k. flay drop off my list, while songs from twenty-one pilots, Bruno Mars, and LP make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Erin Go Bragh!

Indie-rock band Cold War Kids, whose single "First" made my year-end chart in both 2015 and 2016 (both times in the top-40), return with the highest debut of the week with the first single from their upcoming sixth album, L.A.Divine. "Love Is Mystical" rockets in at #64...

Imagine Dragon are back as well with the lead track from their upcoming third album; "Believer", which drops in at #69, is also heard on the new Nintendo Switch commercial...

Philadelphia-based indie-pop duo Marian Hill also are prominently featured in a TV ad, this time for Apple with their single "Down", which enters at #82...

Garth Brooks shuffles in at #91 with his latest, "Baby, Let's Lay Down And Dance", the first single from his Gunslinger album. He's swept it off YouTube, so maybe he'll remember that since the single is already off the country charts missing the top 10 in Billboard (#shade)...
