twostepcub's music chart for April 14, 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. After 11 weeks on top, Rag N' Bone Man gets dethroned by Katy Perry and Skip Marley, while Shawn Mendes (pictured above) swims into the top ten. Former big hits from Sia/Kendrick Lamar, Thomas Rhett, and LeAnn Rimes drop off my list, while songs from the New Pornographers, Xenia Ghali, and The Band Perry make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). To those who celebrate, have a loving Passover or Easter weekend...
