Twostepcub's music chart for December 28, 2024...

 

 
Saturday's here, and it's time to run down my top hits from the previous week. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are frozen at #1 for a twelfth week, while Papa Roach and Carrie Underwood (pictured above) leap into the top ten. Songs from Sabrina Carpenter, Coldplay, and Mary J. Blige make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Morgan Wallen, and Sarah Reeves drop off my chart. 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. The lull between Christmas and New Year's is upon us...
 
And I'm still working on my year end list, I'm sorry it's late, tons of personal work to deal with. Thanks for hanging in!
