Twostepcub's music chart for March 1, 2025...

Saturday's here, and it's time to run down my top "hits" from the previous week. After a 20-week string, I finally have a new winner with Teddy Swims, while newcomer Lola Young (pictured above) leaps into the top ten. Former big hits from the Cure, Lady Gaga, the Weeknd, and Billy Strings drop off my chart, while songs from Papa Roach, Zach Top, 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. We're in the golden idol phase now already....
