twostepcub's music chart for May 24, 2019...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit*" tunes from the previous week. Sam Smith and Normani hang on to #1 for a second week, while Panic! At The Disco (pictured above) climbs a notch within the top ten. Former big hits from Hozier, NOTD/Felix Jaehn, Dean Lewis, Michael Ray, DJs from Mars, and Riley Green drop off my chart, while songs from Taylor Swift/Brandon Urie, Maren Morris, and the Lumineers make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). Have a memorable Memorial Day weekend, folks!

*"Hit" tunes generally means in the American Hot 100 top 20, Adult Top-40 top 30, Adult Contemporary top 5, Rock Airplay top 10, Mainstream Rock top 5, Alternative top 10, Triple-A Rock top 10, R&B/Hip Hop Airplay top 5, Adult R&B top-5, Country Airplay top-20, Dance Club Play top 20, and Dance Airplay top 10, as well as British top ten and airplay top ten hits.
