Debuts

~ Nico & Vinz/Bebe Rexha - That's How You Know has finally debuted. I have been really enjoying this song over the past couple of months. I hope it stays a while.

~ The Weeknd - The Hills is a dark and mysterious song that I am really liking at the moment. I hope Hits 1 keeps this one for a while which they probably will.

~ Echosmith - Let's Love is pretty good right now. Over the time it was on Hit-Bound I thought it was just okay nothing special. But over the past week or so, I have grew a little more into it. I hope this song is nothing like Bright but has a fairly good tenure on the countdown.

~ Ellie Goulding - On My Mind is so catchy. I can't get it out of my head. I hope it stays a bit, but not as long as Love Me Like You Do.

Grade Of The Week: 89/100

Recommended Download: Selena Gomez/Charli XCX - Same Old Love

Top Song On Hit-Bound: Selena Gomez/Charli XCX - Same Old Love

Debuts

~ Elle King debuts this week with the once good and now annoying Ex's & Oh's. Why couldn't this sogn debut when it was good. Why Hits 1? Why?

~ Nick Jonas - Levels is excellently catchy. I can't get it out of my head. This may be Nick's best. I really hope it doesn't get overplayed.

~ A Great Big World - Hold Each Other is a super catchy tune that I have really been enjoying lately. I hope it stays good.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Maroon 5 - Maps

Debuts

~ X Ambassadors are debuting this week at #39 with the very old and annoying Renegades. Why couldn't The Hum debut instead of this song? Ugh. I hope this song starts to fade away and have a short countdown tenure. Please Hits 1? Please?

~ Pentatonix are debuting this week at #37 with the very catchy tune Can't Sleep Love. I really am enjoying this song. This may be one of their best songs. I hope this song has a somewhat good Countdown Tenure because I don't know what Hits 1 will do with a song like this.

~ Macklemore & Ryan Lewis debut at #34 this week with Downtown. So far, this song is pretty bad and it probably will stay that way. I just don't like all the excessive rap. A song with a lot of rap really isn't my style. A little is okay. I hope this song doesn't peak that high but it probably will.

~ For the highest debut at #32 we have Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean?. This song is super good and catchy. This song debuted on The Billboard Hot 100 at #1 this week. I hope to see some high peaking from this song.

Hit-Bound

• A Great Big World - Hold Each Other
• Maroon 5 - Feelings
• Nick Jonas - Levels
