twostepcub's music chart for August 7, 2020...

  Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande stake their claim to #1, while Sam Hunt (pictured above) climbs a notch in the top ten. Songs from Sia, the Pretty Reckless, and Michael Franti make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Billie Eilish and Billie Joe Armstrong drop off my list. Dog days and hurricanes...
