Bad Blurber
~ The Chainsmokers & Coldplay - Something Just Like This has returned to the top. I'll take it. It's a good song, so I'm not caring too much. Like I said, if it's keeping #2 from the top spot, or even #5, I'm okay with it.
~ We received four top 10 entrants this week. We see Linkin Park/Kiiara - Heavy again, which I'm not minding too much. We also see Lady Gaga - The Cure, which I'm happy seeing here. James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go has returned to the top 10 as well. This one remains okay for the time being, I don't hate it yet, but it's starting to get old. Finally, Charlie Puth - Attention makes an appearance, much to my happiness.
~ I have noticed Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You has dropped below the top 10. This is one of the songs that I thought would be there forever. Maybe we can't be so sure it's leaving this quickly.
~ It was said by me last week that I did not think AJR - Weak would last too long in the top 10, that it was just a weird thing that happened. What did I tell you? It's out. I don't care too much, though.
~ Shawn Mendes - Mercy just doesn't want to leave. It's time though. It needs to not try anymore.
~ Train - Play That Song has officially dropped out of the top 20, now all we have to do is keep it there, and we should be all set.
~ DNCE - Kissing Strangers has risen from the dead, or at least the songs we thought were going to be dead here. I am pretty happy about this, since I have been liking the song lately a lot more. The only thing is we have to get it to keep rising.
~ Sam Hunt - Body Like A Back Road made somewhat of a jump this week, but I would prefer it stray away from the top 30, just to prevent anything that will be annoying in the future.
~ Did Aaron Carter - Sooner Or Later just hit a new peak? I think it did. I really don't understand why this song has been doing so poorly, as it is easily one of the best songs here. Come on people, get your acts together!
~ Fitz & The Tantrums - HandClap is looking to see an end here in the near future. It was nice having you.
~ One last thing. How in the hell is Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know still hanging on like this? I just would appreciate it if this one left. You can all see how deathly annoying it has become for me.
