twostepcub's music chart for February 25, 2022...

 
Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Country stars Jimmie Allen and Brad Paisley take over at #1, while Taylor Swift (pictured above) hangs in in the top ten. Former big hits by the Jonas Brothers, the Zac Brown Band, Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow, Jon Pardi, and Courtney Barnett drop off my list, while songs from Charlie Puth, Nathaniel Rateliff, and Cody Johnson make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And under the chart everything is Spotify playlisted for 5 1/2 hours of the biggest in pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance music. Let democracy prevail and tyranny be vanquished.
