twostepcub's music chart for April 2, 2021...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Olivia Rodrigo spends a third week at #1, while Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters (pictured above) leap into the top ten. Songs from Nathaniel Rateliff, Maroon 5/Megan Thee Stallion, and Silk City/Ellie Goulding make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Toni Braxton/H.E.R., Kelsea Ballerini, FITZ, Jade Bird, and John K drop off my list. And right under I've Spotify playlisted the whole thing for five and a half hours of listening goodness. Get those bunny eggs!
