New Entrants

~ We only have one new entrant this week and honestly I couldn't care less. The reason for this is because the song is great and easily makes my top 45 songs on Hits 1 this year and of course will be on the year end ultimate Hot 45 Chart special. There will be more on later reveals towards the end of this post! So, without further adieu, let me introduce Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj returning with yet another collaboration with their new single, Side To Side. First up, let me just say that this song doesn't top Bang Bang, but it's definitely a close second. Ariana's vocals are on point, like usual, in this song and Nicki's rap is very catchy and has me going along every time I hear it. Not to mention, this song has very good production. I really am hoping to see some success out of this song. It feels worthy of at least the top 5. Well, now all there's left to do is to wait and see.

Blurb To Blurb

~ I am very happy to see Closer is back on top of the countdown, not that Heathens isn't good, but Closer is better.

~ I was not expecting that jump from Major Lazer/Justin Bieber/MØ - Cold Water. I'll take it though. It's definitely better than some of the other horrendous crap that could be there right now.

~ It's a good thing that Hailee Steinfeld & Grey/Zedd - Starving is in the top 5. This song is definitely top 5 material. I hope it continues to do well.

~ Okay. Twenty One Pilots are overtaking this countdown. I have zero problems with Heathens, but with Ride still in the top 10 and Stressed Out still above #30, there is something wrong.

~ It's nice to see Kiiara - Gold making a good jump. I really am hoping that this song hits the top 10 in the near future.

~ Hopefully this is a sign that Kenny Chesney/P!nk - Setting The World On Fire is dropping. I am getting so tired of this song. It's just not a catchy song and I don't see what's so good about it, but that's my opinion.

~ OneRepublic - Kids isn't really doing much here. It's kind of annoying considering it's better than some of the other stuff that's here right now.

~ Andy Grammer - Fresh Eyes actually became slightly more bearable during this week. Don't expect it to stay that way for long, though.

~ Are you kidding me Hits 1? Why the heck are The Weeknd/Daft Punk - Starboy and Calvin Harris - My Way flopping? There is much worse that should have already flopped, but no.

~ Of course we are seeing Runaground - Chase You Down dropping on its second week here. That's pleasant, real pleasant.

~ I would like to see P!nk - Just Like Fire make its departure before I hate it.

~ I get so annoyed hearing AJR - I'm Not Famous and Lukas Graham - Mama Said. Can you leave?
