twostepcub's music chart for January 7, 2022...

 
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 sixth week, while Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak's Silk Sonic (pictured above) leaps ten notches into the top five. Former big hits from Earth Wind & Fire, Vance Joy, Ryan Hurd/Maren Morris, and Nathaniel Rateliff drop off my chart, while songs from Courtney Barnett, twenty-one pilots, and Joel Corry/Mabel make some of the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And under the list everything is Spotify playlisted for five and a half hours of the biggest in pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance music. Now let's get going...

Newcomers Noah Kahan and Joy Oladukun come together at #92 with "Someone Like You", from Kahan's second album I Was/I Am...


The final newbie of the week is from Russell Dickerson, who brings his "boyfriend country" to #94 on "Home Sweet", the second single from his second album Southern Symphony. The first, "Love You Like I Used To", made my 2021 year end as well...
