twostepcub's music chart for April 8, 2022...

 

 

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Lil Nas X holds tight at #1 for a fifth week, while country rocker Eric Church (pictured above) leaps four notches into the top 5.  Former big hits from Silk Sonic and alt-J drop off my list, while songs from The Head & The Heart, Luke Combs, and Lauren Spencer-Smith make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red). And underneath the chart everything is Spotify-playlisted for five and a half hours of the biggest in pop, rock, R&B, country, and dance music. Four day weekend, here we go!
