twostepcub's music chart for August 30, 2019...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Taylor Swift spends a second week in the pole position, while Lizzo (pictured above) leaps into my top ten for the first time. Former big hits from KLAAS/Londonbeat, Andy Grammer, and Ava Max drop off my list, while songs from Pink, Kygo/Whitney Houston, and Tony Moran/Jason Walker make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red).
