twostepcub's music chart for May 18, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Imagine Dragons spend a second week on top, while Kylie Minogue (pictured above) dances into the top five. A former big hit from Imagine Dragons drops off my list, while songs from Bad Wolves, Shawn Mendes, and Calvin Harris/Dua Lipa make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Happy birthday, Sis!
