New Entrants

~ First up this week we have a HitBound exit from last week, Jon Bellion - Overwhelming. This song has been good from the start. I am in love with the vocals and this guy has failed to disappoint me so far. I admit that the production is weird on this track, but it definitely is working for me at the moment. I can say that I would like for it to do well here, and I expect to see it do just that.

~ The next new song we are seeing this week comes from Erin Bowman, who also spawned another HitBound exit last week in the form of Good Time Good Life. Now, I have been enjoying this song for a while, but the repetitive lyrics are really starting to get me. I am still sold on the other parts of the song, which are what keeps it in green. I wouldn't say I see this one doing great here anyway, and I'll be okay with that if that's the case.

~ Third this week we have the biggest song out there right now, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee/Justin Bieber - Despacito. As you can see, this song is currently the best one here, as it has been colored in purple. I have just been enjoying the catchy vibe this song gives me. Right now, everything about this song is very good, and I expect it to do well here because it has one of this station's favorite artists.

~ Finally, we have Noah Cyrus - Stay Together. I have been playing this song since I first heard it and honestly it has been a good song to go to when I'm having troubles with a certain person that is very important to me. I like the lyrics, the production, and vocals, and that all calls for a good song. I definitely am wishing it well here.
