twostepcub's music chart for January 19, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ed Sheeran spends a second week on top, while Halsey (pictured above) climbs a notch in the top ten. Songs from Sofi Tukker, Sean Finn, and Kristine W make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Sam Hunt, Cheat Codes/Demi Lovato, Manchester Orchestra, Logic/Alessia Cara/Khalid, and Ben Platt/Cast of Dear Evan Hansen drop out. Shark week and Forbes spankings!
