twostepcub's music chart for September 14, 2018...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the week. Ella Mai remains on top for a third week, while country singer Brett Young (pictured above) slips into the top 5. Former big hits from Imagine Dragons, Keith Urban, Bastille, Jake Owen, and the Record Company drop off my list, while songs from Drake, Charlie Puth, and the Chainsmokers make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Go away, Florence!
