Twostepcub's music chart for January 11, 2025...

 
Saturday's here, and it's time to run down my top "hit" tunes from the previous week. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars won't budge from the #1 spot for a 14th week, while Teddy Swims (pictured above) rockets into the top ten.  Songs from Swedish House Mafia/Alicia Keys, twenty-one pilots, and almost monday make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits from Chappell Roan, Tyrese, Parmalee, and Eric Benet/Tamar Braxton 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. And please check out my ongoing year-end countdown of the biggest songs on this chart from last year by clicking here. Effing Greenland? This is what you voted for?
