Justin Timberlake (3) - Week Of July 2, 2016

Hey fam! Yes, Justin Timberlake managed to snatch the top spot again with Can't Stop The Feeling!. I really would appreciate it if there wasn't so much overplay on this song, because I can see myself possibly getting sick of it by the end of this month if radio kills it, but for now, it's still a very good song.

Entrants

~ Kent Jones - Don't Mind has debuted! This song for the moment is under the title of my guilty pleasure of 2016. This song has an undefined meaning to me, but it's odd and really fun to jam out to. All in all, I'm really hoping to see some success out of this song.

Hit-Bound

• Flo-Rida/Jason Derulo - Hello Friday
• Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
• Magic! - Red Dress
• AJR - I'm Not Famous
• Alesso/Nico & Vinz - I Wanna Know
• 1975 - The Sound
• Symon - Say
• Lukas Graham - Mama Said
• Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence
• Jordan Fisher - All About Us
• Jacob Whitesides - Lovesick
• Drake/Wizkid/Kyla - One Dance
• Bebe Rexha/Nicki Minaj - No Broken Hearts
• Ben Rector - Brand New

~ Again, we only had one new Hit-Bound entrant this week and that would be Drake returning with One Dance featuring Wizkid and Kyla. Hits 1 was definitely late with this song, but I feel like if it debuts the countdown, it will do better than Hotline Bling. Anyways, this song has been good for a long while, and it still is, so I don't mind it debuting Hits 1 now. That's all I really have to say this week.

Top 5 HitBound Picks

1. Jordan Fisher - All About Us

2. Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

3. Bebe Rexha/Nicki Minaj - No Broken Hearts 

4. Alesso/Nico & Vinz - I Wanna Know

5. Jacob Whitesides - Lovesick

Blurb Mind

~ I'm honestly speechless that Make Me Like You has lasted this long, I mean, it has been in the bottom 5 for most of its tenure, but Gwen Stefani is a great artist and is pretty much always underrated on Hits 1.

~ I am beyond excited that Lukas Graham - 7 Years has dropped. I am hoping that it doesn't make a comeback or stay here much longer, I just need it to leave to repair my ears because it's so old and at some points he yells and that annoys me in the song.

~ I feel like Rihanna/Drake - Work hasn't been above the #39 spot in two months, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

~ Panic! At The Disco - Victorious is really starting to fade on me, I'm glad that this song is one of the few bad songs on the countdown anymore, we had a great cleanout these last couple of weeks, let's make next week another as well.

~ I am absolutely failing to grow out of Hands To Myself. I have no idea what it is about Selena Gomez's voice in this one, I just can't get sick of it, even though her older tracks were better.

~ I'm really sad that Selena Gomez - Kill Em With Kindness made a sizable drop after the jump to the top 20, I hope it doesn't flop more.

~ Ruth B. - Lost Boy jumping actually makes me happy, because it was her birthday weekend and I guess it's somewhat of a little unknown surprise for her, right? Being a debut artist and all.

~ It was truly a pleasure to listen from #24 to #9 (16 songs) without hearing a single song I didn't like. OneRepublic - Wherever I Go started the chain jumping back up, which makes me very happy.

~ No! Why did Fifth Harmony - Work From Home depart the top 20? Come back!

~ I'm glad Alessia Cara is getting some good recognition late on with Wild Things.

~ I almost forgot Grace - You Don't Own Me was still in the top 20! Keep going, girl!

~ I'm loving Hits 1 a lot at this moment! Calvin Harris and Rihanna's This Is What You Came For is jumping! Stay strong, guys!

~ Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman is also failing to depart on my opinion, I'm glad it's still in the top 10.

~ One Direction - History is the only bad song in the upper half of the countdown. Wow. That's great.

~ Sia/Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills is the new best song on the countdown! This song is just so fun to dance to and is just so catchy. If it hits #1, I would really love it, it's just so good.

~ Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling! at #1? Fine by me for a few more weeks.
