twostepcub's music chart for December 22, 2018...

As I am counting down the biggest hits of year from my personal chart in these last weeks of the year, let me take a detour to run down the top 100 from this past week (the first "chart week" of 2019). Marshmello & Bastille finally make it to the top spot, while Jimmie Allen (pictured above) shoots his way into the top five. Songs from Nathaniel Rateliff, Death Cab For Cutie, and Ella Mai make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Cher, Post Malone, Selena Gomez, and Sabrina Carpenter fall off my chart. Happy Holidays, everyone!
