The Chainsmokers (1) - Week Of October 1, 2016

Hey guys! So, last night I didn't go to my first homecoming dance. Only one of my friends was going, but he had a date, so he would be with her most of the time and I'm not really a social butterfly in other words. The rest of my friends just stayed home, so I figured it wouldn't be too much fun. So, instead I stayed home and rented a movie. I'm not thrilled that I missed it, but the movie was pretty good, so I don't care, even though I probably missed out on a lot of fun, but I'll try to rope my friends into going next year. Now, before we get to this week's fresh 45 songs, here's the songs we're saying goodbye to:

• Symon - Say (#31)
• DNCE - Toothbrush (#41)

Last Week's #1 Song: The Chainsmokers/Daya - Don't Let Me Down

#1 Song This Week 1 Year Ago: Walk The Moon - Shut Up & Dance

#1 Recommendation For You: DNCE - Body Moves

New Entrants

~ First up this week is Gnash/Olivia O'Brien - I Hate U, I Love U. Let's just say that I can relate to this song so much right now. They turned this true feeling into a song and I think that's amazing. Gnash is an amazing rapper and Olivia O'Brien is an amazing singer. Amazing+Amazing=Amazing, well I can't lie when I say that this is an amazing song. I really would like to see this song do good on the countdown.

~ Our second debut this week is from Big Gigantic and Angela McCluskey in the form of The Little Things. I looked it up and was shocked to see this woman was 53 years old. I had no idea. She still has some killer vocals for that age. Anyway, I have lost a bit of interest in this song, but nevertheless, it's still pretty good. I don't particularly expect this song to do good here or bad here.

The Little Blurbs

~ I'm still finding it surreal that Panic! At The Disco - Victorious is here. At least it got bearable over the we week.

~ Well, it looks like Lukas Graham - Mama Said is coming to an end.

~ I'm liking to see The 1975 - The Sound and AJR - I'm Not Famous in the bottom half of the countdown, let's just get rid them and some other crap down here.

~ I honestly have no care in the world that Kenny Chesney/P!nk - Setting The World On Fire is dropping. The same thing with Jacob Whitesides - Lovesick.

~ Well, it's unfortunate that DJ Snake/Justin Bieber - Let Me Love You is already dropping. 

~ I'm in love with Kiiara - Gold. So. Freaking. Catchy.

~ I'm so glad that Calvin Harris - My Way had the biggest jump this week. This song is really catchy.

~ I would like it Major Lazer/Justin Bieber/MO - Cold Water was in the top 10, it's worthy of it.

~ I am liking that Flume/Kai - Never Be Like You jumped up this high.

~ Ouch. The Chainsmokers/Daya - Don't Let Me Down took a hard drop from #1.

~ Well, at least The Chainsmokers replaced themselves at #1 with Closer featuring Halsey.
