Debuts
~ First of all, let me say that I am ticked that Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean? has re-entered the countdown for the third time. This makes me so angry. Hopefully, it will not be as clingy as it was on its last countdown tenure. We'll see.
~ Newcomer G-Eazy and countdown veteran Bebe Rexha join the countdown this week with Me, Myself, & I. I have to admit, last week this song started fading on me, but this week I grew back into it, so that is a good thing. Hopefully it has some countdown success.
~ One Direction - History is debuting this week as well. This song is pretty good. Hopefully it has some good success on the countdown, I wouldn't doubt it.
~ Countdown veterans Fifth Harmony also debut at the highest mark this week with their beyond catchy new single, Work From Home. I don't understand why Hits 1 put Ty Dolla $ign on this track for the first few weeks it was on the station and then took him off. Anyways, it is a great song and I hope it does good like their previous countdown song, Worth It.
Blurb From Home
~ Jason Derulo - Get Ugly is officially tied for the worst song on the countdown. Please leave already.
~ I'm glad to see One Direction - Drag Me Down drop from #2 to #40 in two weeks.
~ I completely forgot Tori Kelly - Hollow was still here. I'm glad it is, it's still good.
~ The drop from Coldplay - Adventure Of A Lifetime was much needed.
~ Rihanna/Drake - Work dropping? No, not this much. I can't see Hits 1 keeping this song much longer.
~ Elle King - Ex's & Oh's needs to get off this countdown. Like now.
~ Fall Out Boy/Demi Lovato - Irresistible is getting old. Hopefully it will begin to decline more soon.
~ Again, I keep forgetting MO - Kamikaze is still here. It might as well just leave. It's a little bit of a space filler in my opinon.
~ I'm glad The Weeknd - In The Night has dropped.
~ Dawin - Dessert is a space filler. Can it please leave.
~ Adele - When We Were Young is officially bad.
~ Justin Bieber - Love Yourself is going in the wrong direction. I guess the drop from last week didn't last long.
~ I'm beyond happy that Taylor Swift - New Romantics is continuing to jump.
~ Panic! At The Disco - Victorious at #10 is a bit much.
~ Adele - Hello is still in the top 10. Fine by me. It's still a decent song.
~ I definitely disapprove of Flo-Rida - My House jumping to the top 3.
~ I'm totally okay with Charlie Puth - One Call Away continuing to hold at the top spot.
