twostepcub's music chart for March 24, 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Rag N' Bone Man hangs tight for a ninth week on top, while Katy Perry (pictured above) bounds into the top 10. Songs from Imagine Dragons, Cold War Kids, and Kelsea Ballerini make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places are highlighted in red), while former big hits from John Legend, Sia, Joe, and Lukas Graham drop off my list. OK, spring, melt this snow already...
