Twostepcub's music chart for August 21, 2020...

 
Today's Friday, and it's time yet again to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande remain on top for a third week, while Harry Styles (pictured above) leaps four notches to come within striking distance at #3. Songs from Ray Lamontagne, Sofi Tukker/Gorgon City, and Shinedown make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Maroon 5 and Usher/Ella Mai drop off my list. And everything is playlisted on Spotify below to sample it all.  52. Oh bother.
