twostepcub's music chart for May 1, 2020...

Friday's here, and it's time again to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Billie Eilish spends a second week at #1, while Taylor Swift (picture above) brings her "Man" up three notches within the top ten. Songs from Kenny Chesney, Dua Lipa, and Tame Impala make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by twenty-one pilots, Pearl Jam, and Sub Urban drop off my list. As Justin sang, it's gotta be May! (I can't honestly tell anymore)

And as usual I've included a Spotify playlist of the chart at the end...

As modern rock duo twenty-one pilots drop off my chart with their former top ten "The Hype",  they lay claim to the top debut of the day with their new social distancing-related charity single, "Level Of Concern".

Falling In Reverse, a metalcore band from Las Vegas, score their first hit on my chart with the song "Popular Monster" at #88...

Electro-pop duo Surfaces also make their debut at #93 with their track "Sunday Best"...

X Factor UK winners and female vocal group Little Mix are back at #95 with "The Break-Up Song". It previews their upcoming sixth studio album, their second after leaving Simon Cowell's management...

Canadian rapper Isaiah Faber, who records under the moniker Powfu, sets down at #98 with his TikTok earworm "death bed" featuring singer beabadoobee (Filipino-born Beatrice Laus)...

The final new entry of the week is from rapper Wale, who pops in at #99 with his collaboration with soul singer Jeremih, "On Chill"...
