Twostepcub's music chart for February 17, 2023...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Taylor Swift holds on for a ninth week at #1, while the Weeknd (pictured above) leaps into the top ten. Former big hits from The Red Hot Chili Peppers (after a year), Rihanna, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Godsmack drop off my chart, while songs from Mimi Webb, Bizarrap & Shakira, and SZA 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. Happy chocolate clearance week!

After a five year break, pop-punk titans Fall Out Boy claim the top debut of the week at #76 with their new single "Love From The Other Side". The track previews their upcoming So Much (For) Stardust album...

Speaking of the things from the last decade, Lady Gaga returns at #81 with a song from her 2011 album Born This Way that's "gone viral" thanks to people appropriating it to a scene in the Netflix show Wednesday without it even appearing in it, "Bloody Mary"...
