A Year End Special - 2015: At A Glance

Hey guys and welcome back to this blog. We have recently hit 12,000 which is awesome. Now, on with this post. 2015 has been a great year for music just like many others, but the monster called radio has killed many good songs this year which is saddening. Anyways, on with this quick review at a year of music on Hits 1. Let's get started with the bottom 5 songs of the year with number one being the worst.

Bottom 5 Songs Of 2015:
1. Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life
2. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Downtown
3. Usher - I Don't Mind
4. Fall Out Boy - Uma Thurman
5. Omi - Cheerleader

As for all of our #1 songs, most of them have previously been good or are still good in my opinion. Anyways, here are the #1 songs on The Sirius XM Hits 1 Weekend Countdown in 2015 starting with the highest number of times at #1.

Something to do with the breakout artists now. There were many good ones and bad ones. I am going to just say who my favorite breakout artist of 2015 was and my least favorite breakout artist of 2015 was just like Adrian did on his post, but I am going to use two artists for each category.

Yet again, here is another award that the other bloggers do called the Biggest Whiff Award, which is the song that was popular everywhere else but never made it to Hits 1.
