twostepcub's music chart for January 5, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Sam Smith holds on to the top spot for a fourth week, while newcomer Alice Merton (pictured above) climbs three notches within the top ten. Songs from Diana Ross, MAX/gnash, and Dmitri Vegas & Like Mike/David Guetta/Kiiara make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while a former big hit from Niall Horan drops out. Snowmageddon 2018 complete!
