Twostepcub's music chart for January 1, 2022...
Happy New Year everyone, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Adele remains at #1 for a fifth week, while the War On Drugs (pictured above) climb into the top ten. Songs from twenty-one pilots, Gayle, and Volbeat make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from twenty-one pilots, the Weeknd, Dua Lipa, and Cole Swindell drop off my chart. And under the list everything is Spotify playlisted for over five and a half hours of the biggest in pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance music. Also you can check out my 2021 recap of the biggest of the year by clicking here. 2022 can't be worse, can it?
