The Chainsmokers (6) - Week Of November 19, 2016

Well, hey there everyone! I hope everyone had a fantastic week. If not, hopefully it will get better in time for Thanksgiving Week this week! So, on Tuesday afternoon, I am out of school until Monday morning. So, hopefully there will be some time to get the 50,000 pageview special out. I anticipate it to be out by this coming Wednesday, but it may be later. There also will be no pageview special until we reach 100,000 pageviews. I have made this a final decision that 75,000 pageviews will not be a special, as it will likely be reached this week and I don't want to put a bunch of extra weight on my shoulders. Also, tonight is the American Music Awards. on ABC. The lineup looks pretty good, so I'm excited to do a review of that for you guys. Now, before we get to this week's fresh 45 songs, here is the lone exit this week:

New Entrants

~ Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha both return to the countdown this weekend, now together with In The Name Of Love. This song is certainly a catchy tune and I would like to see it have some success on this countdown. Even though it has already departed from The Hot 45 Chart, I still highly regard it as a good song. You also may be seeing a re-entry on the chart in the near future, but possibly not.

In The Name Of Blurbs

~ I am very pleased to see that The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer has made its way back up to the top of the countdown.

~ I would really enjoy seeing both Coldplay/SeeB - Hymn For The Weekend and Daya - Sit Still, Look Pretty leaving the top 10 next week. I legitimately haven't loved these songs since March, they are too old to be here.

~ On note of songs that shouldn't be in the top 10, OneRepublic - Kids makes an entrance this week. I think its safe to say that I was being generous this week by putting it in blue, it is very close to being pink. So, I would appreciate it if this song didn't clog the top 10 up.

~ Bruno Mars - 24K Magic isn't really doing much. It's pretty much staying in the teens, which I'm okay with at the moment anyway.

~ Well, I guess my luck is rubbing off. Andy Grammer - Fresh Eyes shouldn't be this high up. In fact, I would be very happy if it wasn't even here at all.

~ Okay, this is ridiculous. Bastille - Good Grief shouldn't be higher than songs like Side To Side, Starboy, Body Moves, That's My Girl, and I Hate U, I Love U. This song is just a space filler and frankly popular nowhere else.

~ I would've enjoyed seeing Jon Bellion - All Time Low jump a little more this week. Oh well.

~ X Ambassadors - Unsteady needs to leave for good. This song should've been gone months ago after that 27 spot drop out of the top 10, but of course Hits 1 logic prevents it from leaving.

~ There are worse songs worthy of the biggest decline in spots rather than Sia/Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills. This is so annoying.

~ Well, I don't know about you, but I am freaking sick of 5 Seconds Of Summer - Girls Talk Boys being here. This song is so stupid, the title has no meaning, and the voices are so suckish. I swear, this is one of the worst songs this year, if not, the worst.

~ Well, I didn't want to see Nick Jonas - Bacon and Calvin Harris - My Way drop like this, especially considering that they weren't very successful here, which is crazy.

~ Lastly, I would like to recognize how ridiculous it is that Kiiara - Gold has left. I mean, come on Hits 1. You have had songs here for almost a year that are long overdue for a departure. Yet, you have to take one of the best songs here and give it the boot so early. When I heard Spyder Harrison announce this I was so mad.
