twostepcub's music chart for January 12, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ed Sheeran (no, not  "with" Beyonce, sorry) takes over at #1, while Pink (pictured above) rockets into the top ten. Former big hits from Garth Brooks, Chris Janson, and LIGHTS drop off my chart, while songs from Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels, The War On Drugs, and Seether make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy Martin Luther King Day Weekend...

Sofi Tukker, the New York duo who went from nowhere to somehow score a Grammy nomination last year for the track "Drinkee" (hmmm...) finally land a bonafide radio and club hit and take my top debut of the week up at #66 with "Best Friend" featuring Australian sister pair NERVO, house act the Knocks, and newcomer Alisa Ueno...


Toni Braxton is back at #89 with "Coping", from her upcoming album Sex & Cigarettes...


Art-rock goddess St. Vincent lands at #92 with "Los Ageless", from her flawless Masseduction album...


German DJ/producer Sean Finn recruits singers Terri B! and Peter Brown for his second chart hit, a cover of Ultra Nate's classic club jam "Free"...


Emo-rock vets Secondhand Serenade return at #97 with "Lost", ten years after their breakthrough hit "Fall For You"...


The second single from U2's Songs Of Experience album, "Get Out Of Your Own Way", arrives at #98. It follows "You're the Best Thing About Me", which is still in my top-40...


Australian country star Keith Urban's "Female" slips in at #99...


Finally, at #100 we have gospel-house act BlissBliss with "No Apologies", their first big hit...
