twostepcub's music chart for January 8, 2021...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 tunes from the previous week. Ava Max remains at #1 for an eighth week, while British modern rockers Bastille (pictured above) leap into the top ten. Former big hits from Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Bruce Springsteen, and Jameson Rodgers drop out, while songs from Taylor Swift (!), Miley Cyrus/Dua Lipa, and Cannons make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). 25th Amendment his ass NOW!
