Twostepcub's music chart for April 29, 2023...

Friday's here, and it's time to run down my top 100 "hit" tunes from the previous week. Taylor Swift takes over at #1, while country singer Parker McCollum (pictured above) climbs four notches in the top ten. Former big hits from Stephen Sanchez and Phony Ppl drop off my chart, while songs from Meghan Trainor, Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding, and Ed Sheeran make some of 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. This April showers thing is not a joke...
