twostepcub's music chart for December 24, 2021...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Adele holds tight at #1 for a fourth week, while the Lumineers (pictured above) climb into the top ten. Former big hits by Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons, Marshmello/Jonas Brothers, Lee Brice, and H.E.R. drop off my chart, while songs from Adele, Priscilla Block, and Volbeat make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And under the list everything is Spotify playlisted for 5 1/2 hours of the biggest in pop rock R&B country and dance music.
 
And please check out my 2021 year-end recap which serves up the biggest hits on this weekly series from the past 52 weeks by clicking here. Have a great Christmas weekend, everyone!!!
