#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: The Weeknd/Daft Punk - I Feel It Coming

#1 Recommendation For You: Steve Aoki/Louis Tomlinson - Just Hold On

New Entrants

~ First off this week, Steve Aoki and Louis Tomlinson debut with Just Hold On. This song is good for the time being. I would say that the EDM work is good, but it's really just average. This definitely doesn't qualify as Steve Aoki's best work, but it is definitely something. I can definitely say that Louis Tomlinson does a well job on this song, but I don't know how long this will stay with me. It'll be good for a while and I hope it does good here while I like it.

~ Our second, and last debut this week is from Zayn and none other than miss Taylor Swift. I Don't Wanna Live Forever is a fabulous creation for the upcoming sequel to Fifty Shades Of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker. I am totally loving Zayn's falsetto in this song and Taylor Swift does great as always. I never really thought of these two as collaborators, but now that it's a reality, I am really enjoying the song. I really would love to see this song have success on this countdown, and I'm sure it will here, because this station sure loves these two artists.

I Don't Wanna Blurb Forever

~ I really am happy that Hailee Steinfeld & Grey/Zedd - Starving is our new #1 song. This didn't seem like a song that would hit the top spot at first, but it is very interesting and I hope it has a good run there. If this is its only week there, then let it bask in all the glory.

~ I really don't think it is necessary for Niall Horan - This Town, Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful, or Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know to go past their positions at the moment, but who knows?

~ I am really starting to understand how the dark ages lead us into the good times. I mean, Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better declined nine spots from #1 and Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side To Side and Adele - Water Under The Bridge both jumped ten spots. Things should hopefully begin to look up here.

~ I would really love it if songs like OneRepublic - Kids and X Ambassadors - Unsteady would leave the top 20.

~ It was sadly time for Ariana Grande - Into You to drop.

~ Daya - Sit Still, Look Pretty made a notable decline this week, which is very good considering it allowed a place a better song took in the top 20.

~ I would've loved to see John Legend - Love Me Now and Charli XCX - After The Afterparty make larger jumps this week. Maybe that will happen next week, but for the time being, they are amazing songs, and at least they made somewhat of an incline.

~ Well, I am very joyful that Andy Grammer - Fresh Eyes made a drop to the lower end of the countdown. Hopefully this means that it will be leaving in the next few weeks.

~ DNCE - Body Moves clearly hasn't done well here. I would hope to see it have a comeback, but it looks like it will be just like Calvin Harris - My Way, which is still here and in the bottom 5.

~ I really hope that this is the last week that we have 5 Seconds Of Summer - Girls Talk Boys here. This song should've left a long time ago.
