twostepcub's music chart for May 5, 2017...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Bruno Mars remains at #1 for a second week, while Cold War Kids (pictured above) move into the top ten. Songs from Zedd/Alessia Cara, Kygo/Selena Gomez, and Portugal the Man make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Maroon 5, Kings Of Leon, Cage The Elephant, and Nevada/Mark Morrison drop off my list. May flowers are here...

Australian country star Keith Urban teams up with American Idol Carrie Underwood to claim the top debut of the week at #78 with their totally urban-cowboy track "The Fighter". It's the fifth single from Urban's Ripcord album...

At 71 years old, Debbie Harry is still going strong, and her band Blondie returns at #86 with their dance chart topper "Fun"....

British newcomer Lisa Williams makes her debut at #93 with her club hit "Higher Love"...

DREAMERS, an alternative rock band from New York City, also arrive at #94 with their first hit "Sweet Disaster"...

The second single from Mary J. Blige's just-released Strength Of A Woman album, "U + Me (Love Lesson)", moves in at #95...

Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi enters at #96 with "Despacito" featuring rapper Daddy Yankee. It's already an international smash, reaching the top 10 all over the world (no, I'm not even going to deal with the Bieber-ized version)...

The third release from Welsh pop/dance artist Bright Light Bright Light's stellar Choreography album, "Running Back To You", slips in at #97...

The final newbie on the chart at #99 is from Harry Styles, who joins his former One Direction bandmates Zayn (#39) and Niall Horan (#62) with his first solo offering "Sign Of The Times". Louis Tomlinson also popped on to my chart a couple months back, so only Liam Payne has yet to send a solo single here...
