twostepcub's music chart for December 18, 2020...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ava Max reigns for a fifth week, while Dua Lipa and DaBaby (pictured above) leap four spots within the top ten. Songs from Billie Eilish, Royal & The Serpent, and Cannons make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Dua Lipa and Clean Bandit drop out. This week marks the first week of my "2021" chart year, hopefully all things will improve in the next twelve months. Tomorrow I'll be starting my year-end countdown of the 100 biggest songs of the 2020 year on my weekly list. Dua's drop-off song is in the running for top honors, but this year, as 2020 gets, has a surprise I've never had on my chart before. Stay Tuned.... And everything is Spotify playlisted for for five and a half hours of listening pleasure at the end of the list here. Happy Holidays!

Speaking of K-Pop, the titans of the genre right now, BTS, move in at #99 with "Life Goes On". Their single "Dynamite" is still at #3 and will be on my year-end countdown...


The final newbie of the week is from Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber, who slip in at #100 with "Monster" (not to be confused with the song from All Time Low at #9)...
