twostepcub's music chart for July 20, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa take a third trip to the top, while Shawn Mendes (pictured above) climbs two notches to reach the top-3. Former big hits from 30 Seconds To Mars, X Ambassadors, Snow Patrol, Lisa Stansfield, Meghan Trainor, Leon Bridges, and Bad Wolves drop off my chart, while songs from Celine Dion, Bastille, and Brett Young make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Five years safe...
