twostepcub's music chart for February 9, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Pink remains at #1  for a second week, while Chris Young (pictured above) climbs one notch away from the top ten. Former big hits from Imagine Dragons, Kesha, Shawn Mendes, the Lumineers, Marshmello/Khalid, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike/David Guetta/Kiiara drop off my list, while songs from Scotty McCreery, Dirty Disco/Celeda, and Thomas Rhett make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Fly, Eagles, Fly!
