twostepcub's music chart for January 26, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Canadian singer Alice Merton climbs to #1 with her breakthrough single, while Brett Young (pictured above) hangs in at the #10 spot. Former big hits from Kesha, Tove Lo, and Childish Gambino drop off my chart, while songs from Astrid S, Toni Braxton, and Hailee Steinfeld/Alessa/Florida Georgia Line/watt make the biggest moves (jumps of 10+ places highlighted in red). How's that anniversary with Melania going?
