twostepcub's music chart for January 1, 2021...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Ava Max holds tight at #1, while Billie Eilish (pictured above) leaps four notches in the top ten. Songs from Meduza/Dermot Kennedy, CAAMP, and Harry Styles make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Matt Stell and Marshmello/Demi Lovato drop out. And everything is playlisted on Spotify below for five and a half hours of listening. Here's to a better 2021...
