Shawn Mendes (1) - Week Of November 12, 2016

Well, hey there everyone! This week's countdown was certainly eventful, but sadly, mostly in bad ways. There were some good eventful things going on also, but mostly bad things. I will talk about this concern more in the blurbs later on in this post. Also, today I went to see the new animated movie, Trolls. This movie was a lot better than I had expected it to be. I actually think it's worth your time, so I would highly suggest you go see it. It is filled with a lot of songs, including new songs from Anna Kendrick and Ariana Grande. Now, before we get to this week's fresh 45 songs, here's the songs getting the boot this week:

• P!nk - Just Like Fire (#38)

New Entrants

~ Our first entrant this week is Batille - Good Grief. This song is nowhere near as good as Pompeii, let's just say that. This song is a little different, and I like that vibe. Good Grief has good lyrical content as well. All in all, I would like to see this song do well, but if it flops, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

~ Lastly this week, is DNCE - Body Moves. This song is very close to being their best song. The singing is undoubtedly catchy and the beat makes it so much better. There is not much more to say about this song. All I hope is that it has very good success here.

Body Blurbs

~ I don't really think that Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better should just now be gaining the title "#1 song in North America". This song is aging, and it really should have got here sooner.

~ I am glad that Hailee Steinfeld & Grey/Zedd - Starving has jumped into the top 3 this week. This is definitely the place for this song. Here's to hoping it stays awhile.

~ I wish Daya - Sit Still, Look Pretty would just give up already. It's not the time and place right now for it to be in the top 10. 

~ This is some change that I like to see! We welcomed three new songs to the top 10 this week, and for once, they're all good! Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know, Sia/Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest, and Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful are all wished the best of luck moving forward.

~ I am very happy that Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl has jumped the highest number of spots this week. That is very refreshing.

~ It's very nice to see that Runaground - Chase You Down has accelerated to the top 20.

~ I would like to take this moment to recognize Twenty One Pilots - Ride dropping. Moment completed.

~ After seeing that movie this afternoon, Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling! has grown back on me.

~ I would love to see Nick Jonas - Bacon going in the other direction, thank you very much.

~ Can Calvin Harris - My Way make a significant jump back up sometime? This is really annoying me.

~ Let's get the very annoying 5 Seconds Of Summer - Girls Talk Boys out of here. This song is so stupid.

~ Wow. Just wow. Can Kiiara - Gold not drop? This really made me really, really mad.

~ Okay, it's fine that Calvin Harris/Rihanna - This Is What You Came For dropped this much, but let's get rid of worse songs before this.
