The Chainsmokers (3) - Week Of September 24, 2016

Hey guys! So, yes, this is my first homecoming week. I will be participating in the dress-up days as it is school spirit week.

New Entrants

~ First up this week is Calvin Harris - My Way. First of all, many people are speculating that this song is about Taylor Swift. All in all, it sounds like it is. I don't want these two writing songs about each other, because they were such a great couple, but I guess all good things have to come to an end. Anyways, I like when Calvin sings because he has a pretty good voice. All in all, the drop is better in this song than in This Is What You Came For. Whether or not I think this is better than This Is What You Came For, time will tell. Right now, I would like to see this have some success on this countdown.

~ Our next debut comes from Panic! At The Disco with Death Of A Bachelor. Now, this song hasn't been officially released as a single, which is strange, because they haven't released a single off of this album in about a year. So, I don't know why it's here. Anyways, the vocals are good and it just has a real old school vibe. So, all in all, I like it. Well, I hope it doesn't become what Victorious is, so that's all I have to say.

~ Lastly, we have DJ Snake and Justin Bieber with Let Me Love You. This song is just really catchy. The drop is great and Justin's vocals really are a good fit for this song. I hope it will have some success on this countdown. There is a very likely chance that it will be a top 10 song, but all I want is that it doesn't get overplayed.

Let Me Blurb You

~ It feels so surreal that Panic! At The Disco - Victorious is here. It was never an actual hit and if it lasts a year it will be ridiculous.

~ Why is DNCE - Toothbrush lower in position to DNCE - Cake By The Ocean. I mean, that's just ridiculous.

~ I 'm not lying when I say that I forgot Symon - Say was here.

~ Yeah, I kind of also forgot that Jacob Whitesides - Lovesick was here as well.

~ I'm so happy that Kiiara - Gold jumped. This song is definitely top 10 worthy, so let's get it there.

~ It's actually a bit abnormal that Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out is still this high up.

~ I couldn't care less with Adele - Send My Love (To Your New Lover) having the biggest drop this week.

~ What a heck of a jump from Hailee Steinfeld & Grey/Zedd - Starving on its second week. I think we're eyeing a top 10 entry next week.

~ Why the heck is X Ambassadors - Unsteady back in the top 10? It's official, this song has had the weirdest countdown tenure this year.

~ Well, its okay that The Chainsmokers/Daya - Don't Let Me Down is at #1, I guess.
