twostepcub's music chart for April 20, 2019....

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Luke Combs claims a fourth week at #1, while Kentucky rockers Cage The Elephant (pictured above) climb into the top five. Songs from Rob Thomas, twenty-one pilots, and Cody Johnson make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Maroon 5/Cardi B, Midland, Backstreet Boys, and Ella Mai drop off my list. I WANNA EASTAH EGG! I WANNA EASTAH EGG!!!!!
