Just Blurb On

~ I am very okay with Hailee Steinfeld & Grey/Zedd - Starving being our #1 song again this week. I have even started to enjoy this song a bit more, which is a good sign.

~ Although I do like Niall Horan - This Town, Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful, and Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know, I feel like they are just too high up here, as there are better songs that could be this high up, and are popular in other places as well.

~ I really am hoping to see Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side To Side and Adele - Water Under The Bridge jump into the top 10 in the near future, considering they are two of the several of my favorite songs at the moment.

~ This may be the last week that Bruno Mars - 24K Magic will be in green. This song is slowly degrading its honors after each and every listen. There isn't much to it to make me stay with it awhile longer.

~ I am literally getting sick of X Ambassadors - Unsteady being in the upper half of the countdown. This song really needs to leave soon. Maybe it will for the new year, but I highly doubt it. Who in the name of God is still voting for this song?

~ I really am enjoying this small drop from Pitbull/Flo Rida/LunchMoney Lewis - Greenlight. Hopefully this is the first of several drops.

~ Fifth Harmony/Camila Cabello - That's My Girl, yes that's it. This is really the true fate now and how I have to list their names. Well, I don't want to hear any complaints because I did the same thing when Zayn Malik left One Direction. When an artist leaves a group, they really are just considered a featured artist. For the song, I hope it makes a leap in the future, because it is truly doing nothing here.

~ It really seems strange that Charli XCX - After The Afterparty and John Legend - Love Me Now are moving in a pair.

~ I really would have expected a song like Steve Aoki & Louis Tomlinson - Just Hold On to jump more, but I guess it still got the title of biggest jump this week.

~ I really would love to see Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling! leave. I don't want to hate this song, with all its glitter and sparkles, even more than I already do.

~ I really am not happy that DJ Snake/Justin Bieber - Let Me Love You has had the biggest drop this week. That is seriously not okay and I don't understand it at all.

~ I am literally so mad that 5 Seconds Of Summer - Girls Talk Boys is still here. I swear if it doesn't leave before 2017, I will literally die, because this song is murder to my ears.

~ If Calvin Harris - My Way just keeps jumping all over the place, I will really just be annoyed, so I'd rather it just leave at this point.
