New Entrants
~ Katy Perry is finally back! Rise is nowhere near her best, but it's still good. It definitely has a message of self empowerment and Katy does good on the vocals. Overall, I hope it has some success, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it is top 5 material.
~ Our next debut is from new artist The Strumbellas with Spirits. I have to admit, this song didn't appeal to me at first, and I disliked it for a short time. Then, in the past few weeks I started to enjoy it out of the blue. The chorus really grabs my attention. I don't know if I'll like it much longer, but I hope it does pretty good on this countdown.
~ Next up is Flume and Kai with Never Be Like You. This song is definitely one of the best EDM songs of this year. While the singing isn't always consistently at it's best, the beat makes it sound like it is, it fills in all the cracks as if it were a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anyways, this song is definitely one of my favorites at the moment. I'm wishing it does good here.
~ Last, but definitely not least is Major Lazer/Justin Bieber/MO - Cold Water scoring the highest debut of the week. Justin Bieber has great vocal work in this song and so does MO. The beat matches perfectly and it's in my top 10 songs at this point in time. I'm not worried about this song doing good here because it's destined to.

Never Be Like Blurbs
~ It's clear that Selena Gomez - Kill Em With Kindness was a flop on this countdown. Oh well.
~ The drop of Drake/Wizkid/Kyla - One Dance was destined to happen sometime. This song definitely wasn't going to last forever.
~ It's refreshing that Timeflies - Once In A While took a big tumble this week.
~ I'm realizing how stupid and sloppy the lyrics in Meghan Trainor - No are.
~ It's my pleasure that X Ambassadors - Unsteady has dropped out of the top 10! From #7 to...#34. Ouch.
~ P!nk - Just Like Fire is annoying me more and more after each listen. It's still good enough to put in green though.
~ How is it that Fifth Harmony - All In My Head (Flex) keeps dropping? Can I speak with someone about this outrage?
~ All Time Low - Missing You is beginning to annoy me with mediocrity.
~ What the heck? Why is Symon - Say in the top 20? I'm going to look for who did this. Why do mediocre songs keep getting voted so high?
~ Is it possible to get The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer jumping faster and not behind songs people have never heard of...*cough* AJR - I'm Not Famous *cough*?
~ It's strange to see The 1975 - The Sound at #7, but whatever. It looks like it's taking the same path as X Ambassadors - Unsteady. It's been #9-#7 and so was the latter. I would laugh if it was at #34 next week.
~ It's annoying to see Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling! at #1 again. That win from another artist last week looked promising. Oh, who am I kidding?

"I'm realizing how stupid and sloppy the lyrics in Meghan Trainor - No are." And what about in Me Too, which sounds like the worst Britney Spears song I've ever heard, and was produced by will.i.am.
ReplyDelete"P!nk - Just Like Fire is annoying me more and more after each listen." I can kinda agree. I'm starting to realize that this is basically just Sober with all the good stuff taken out. The pounding percussion, gone. The violins, gone, The complex leading guitar melody, gone. The cohesive narrative, gone. The emotion in P!nk's voice being more important than hitting notes, gone. The one thing I've always respected about P!nk is that she didn't sound like what she was, a 35-year old trying to be hip with the cool kids.
I also just notice you and me share 3 songs in our top 5.
ReplyDeleteYES YOU LOVE NEVER BE LIKE YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE I DO!!!! :)
DeleteTwenty One Pilots - Ride was #3 last week, not #4
ReplyDeleteGot it.
DeleteWhy is Setting the World on Fire in pink?
ReplyDeleteBecause I didn't know what else to put it in. :/
DeleteSo, Don't Mind joins the "leaves right after you call it your least favorite" club with Adventure of a Lifetime, Drag Me Down and My House. I just think that's kinda funny. :P
ReplyDeleteIt is. Lol. Luck favors me.
