twostepcub's music chart for July 31, 2020...

Friday's here again, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Dua Lipa tops the list for a third week, while brother band AJR (pictured above) leap into the top five. Former big hits from Scotty McCreery, Cage The Elephant, and Skip Marley/H.E.R. drop off my chart, while songs from KennyHoopla, Harry Styles, and Michael Kiwanuka make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And everything is Spotify playlisted to check out below. Rest in Power, Mr. Lewis...

There are eight songs making their debut on my chart this week (highlighted in blue), and if you click on any of them, you'll connect to that artist's official website. And here they are on video, after the break...

(Click below to see the rest of the post)

Country newcomer Ashley McBryde lays claim to the top debut of the week at #74 for her first showing on my list, "One Night Standards", the lead single from her second album Never Will...

Roots Rock/Reggae artist Michael Franti and his band Spearhead land at #81 with their latest single "I Got You", from their album Work Hard & Stay Nice...

Singer/songwriter Sia returns at #86 with "Together". The song comes from her upcoming movie Music starring dancer Maddie Ziegler as an autistic young woman with Kate Hudson as her sister and caretaker...

While Toni Braxton is climbing my chart with "Do It", her sister Tamar enters my list at #93 with "Crazy Kind Of Love". Both are doing well at the Adult R&B radio format. This one is a send-off on Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You"...

British singer Ella Henderson is back with "Take Care Of You". She already has one of my favorite singles of the year so far, "This Is Real" with Jax Jones...

Natalie Taylor pops in at #98 with her four-year-old single that's gone viral on TikTok and crossed over to adult-pop radio, "Surrender"...

While British "grime" rapper AJ Tracey holds at #80 with "Dinner Guest", he arrives at #99 with his collaboration with singer Mabel that gave him two concurrent songs in the UK top ten, "West Ten"...

The final newbie of the week is from Jason Derulo, who is also on my list with his TikTok meme with Jawsh 685, "Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)", as he joins Purl and Jhorrmountain at #100 for "Coño", which is slang Spanish for "Shit!"...
