Taylor Swift (2) - Week Of June 18, 2016

Hey fam! So, a couple of days ago the 30,000/15,000 Pageview Special was posted and I made countdown predictions and other fun stuff!

Entrant Reviews

~ Our first entrant this week is Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez with We Don't Talk Anymore. This song was bland in my opinion at first. Then, just about a month ago, I listened to the song again and I just started liking it again. So, yeah, I hope it has some good success on the countdown.

~ I liked Ruth B. - Lost Boy a lot for about a week, and that's when it debuted on The Hot 45 Chart and left the next week. Before that it was bland and even a little boring, and now it's back to that. Don't be surprised if it's red in a couple of weeks. I would really love if it didn't have a long countdown tenure.

~ Next up we have returning band, All Time Low with Missing You. This song is decent, but not the best. Their previous song on the countdown, Something's Gotta Give was so much better than this one, this was a little bit of a downgrade. It's not awful, but it just feels like another space filler, so I don't care what happens with it. 

~ Last week Alessia Cara - Wild Things debuted HitBound and I was like what the heck, aren't they overdue with this or something? Then I just listened to it again and realized that I still love it. I'm actually glad that this song debuted this weekend, because better late than never, right? Well, I hope it has a good countdown tenure.

~ Finally, we have DNCE debuting with their new song, Toothbrush. This song surpasses Cake By The Ocean by a longshot as their best song. This song is more fun and has a very catchy chorus, unlike Cake By The Ocean, which was boring, and now it's just annoying. So, nice job to them and I hope they have a good tenure with this song, because it's awesome.

Blurb Things

~ I'm honestly shocked that Gwen Stefani - Make Me Like You is still here. I'm not complaining, but Hits 1 usually gives her songs the boot pretty quickly.

~ I'm very glad that Zara Larsson/MNEK - Never Forget You managed to stay on the countdown this week.

~ Troye Sivan - Youth is taking a while to grow out on me.

~ It's very odd that Selena Gomez - Kill Em With Kindness held this week because it got a large amount of airplay.

~ Flo Rida - My House is finally starting to drop! This is good!

~ A little ironic that Lukas Graham - 7 Years becomes my worst song on the countdown on Father's Day, considering it's about a father. So, a little weird, but it's very old.

~ I'm glad that Sia/Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills made a good jump into the top 20. That is very good.

~ Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman is just outside the top 10, let's get it in there next week.

~ Could we get P!nk - Just Like Fire into the top 5? It's so good!

~ It's good to see Fifth Harmony - Work From Home hanging on in the top 5. This song may never get old in my opinion.

~ It's also a good thing that Taylor Swift - New Romantics achieved the top spot again, it's a very good song still.
