twostepcub's music chart for May 22, 2020...

Friday is here yet again, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. The Weeknd drives into the #1 position with "Blinding Lights", while Doja Cat (pictured above) leaps into the top ten. Former big hits from Halsey, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Jordan Davis drop off my list, while songs from Sam Hunt, Scotty McCreery, and Godsmack make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And at the end everything is playlisted on Spotify to check out. Have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend!
