New Entrants
~ First up this week we have Pitbull/Flo Rida/Lunchmoney Lewis - Greenlight. I really couldn't tell you exactly what I think of this song. I alternate between thinking that it's okay to thinking that it's bad. Right now, and for the past few weeks, I have been thinking it is okay. So, that could all change. I honestly think this song is more of a space filler, so I would be happy if it flopped.
~ Next, we have a brand new female empowerment anthem from Fifth Harmony. That's My Girl is definitely a keeper. There's no doubt that it is hella catchy. Is this song there best, you say? No, I don't think so. I think that title goes to Worth It at the moment. This song literally makes me want to take a dance class. My favorite part is at the end when Normani says "ain't nothing, ain't nothing, put your heart and your soul in it". This part just feels so powerful and I love it. All in all, it better be successful because it's definitely a win.
~ Our last debut of the week comes in the form of Jon Bellion - All Time Low. At first, I wouldn't listen to this song, because I thought it would be boring, and boy was I wrong. Last month, I gave a full listen to this song and have loved it ever since. This song is just lyrically and vocally genius and very catchy. I really would like to see this song do well here, it hasn't necessarily done that anywhere else yet.

All Time Blurbs
~ I would love to see Closer stay atop the countdown. If it stays for every week left out of the year, it will tie the record.
~ I'm not particularly liking seeing DJ Snake/Justin Bieber - Let Me Love You this high up, but if its anything like Cold Water, it will drop soon.
~ Cold Water is beginning to get boring. That's kind of weird actually.
~ Ariana Grande - Into You has actually had a very good countdown run. Although it didn't hit the top spot, it has been in the top 10 for months.
~ Bruno Mars - 24K Magic is progressively dropping on spot every week since its second week when it jumped. Well, that's just great, isn't it?
~ Kenny Chesney/P!nk - Setting The World On Fire needs to leave. Hits 1 is not the place for country music. I hear all this crap on my bus every day, which is mostly why I don't like a lot of it.
~ X Ambassadors is going in the right direction. I would like to see this song leave before the year is over, we are slowly starting to clear out the crap on this countdown.
~ Hits 1 started playing the original version of I Hate U, I Love U this week. I am very glad they did this because the original version is one hundred times better than the one they played. The fast beat before really drowned out the voices in a sad, slow song.
~ It's nice to see Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling! dropping. The movie this was for, Trolls, was just released this weekend. If this was the lead single from the movie, I don't understand why they released it six months before the initial movie release.
~ I would love to see 5 Seconds Of Summer - Girls Talk Boys leave like next week. Is that possible? Probably not.
~ It's safe to say that Calvin Harris - My Way and Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion have both flopped on this countdown. The former of which is rather ridiculous.
~ Yes, I am beginning to lose slight interest in Fifth Harmony - Work From Home. I was so close to putting this in blue, the reason that the verses are a little dry right now. As soon as it leaves the countdown, I will probably grow back into it, though.

I think us and Parker are the only ones here that hate Setting the World on Fire.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite annoying to say the least.
DeleteJack, I really, really, REALLY like your post!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteYay for All Time Low debuting!
ReplyDelete^^
DeleteI could not disagree any more
DeleteLol
DeleteUgh, more unwanted Fifth Harmony debuting.
ReplyDeleteI hate the production, especially those annoying trumpets, seriously it sounds like someone is fucking farting. And did they need to keep slathering auto-tune all over their voices in the chorus? Its better than **** **** **** I'll tell you that, but its production is almost as bad if not worse. If **** **** **** had nothing to its production, this is loud and obnoxious enough that its almost impossible to ignore.
DeleteSorry, but I think its fun.
DeleteIf you think Worth It is better than Work From Home, then how did you get sick of Worth It in late 2015/early 2016?
ReplyDeleteI don't really know why... That's actually very strange considering that I like it...you know, I kind of liked it better with Kid Ink, and I was grading the one without him, so that may be a factor.
Delete#1 Recommendation for Jack: So Below - Hard
ReplyDeleteI agree! Great track
DeleteI just randomly grew into Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl
ReplyDeleteLike, a lot;)
