twostepcub's music chart for September 17, 2021...

 

 

Friday's here, and it's time again to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week.  Olivia Rodrigo makes it to the #1 spot for a second time, while Girl In Red (pictured above), pulls herself into the top five. Former big hits from Jason Aldean, AJR, Leon Bridges, Jazmine Sullivan, and Thomas Rhett drop off my chart, while songs from Elton John/Dua Lipa, The Record Company, and Shouse make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And right below the list, everything is Spotify-playlisted for five 1/2 hours of the biggest in pop, country, rock, R&B, and dance. Something's rotten in the state of Trinidad...
