New Entrants

~ We only have one new entrant this week. That song is Julia Michaels - Uh Huh. At first, I believed this song was just "okay", but after repeated listens, I grew into it. Of course it isn't as good as Issues, but it's not bad. I don't think it will stick with me that long, but for now I'm enjoying the whisper pop vibe, and the strange production of this song. The lyrics, though, are the most flawed part of this song. They are just bland. We'll have to see how long this track sticks with me, but for now I'd like to see how it does. I won't be devastated if it flops, or if it succeeds. Either way, right now, I don't care.

Uh Blurbs

~ Imagine Dragons - Believer is no longer a good song. I would really appreciate it everyone stopped voting for this song. I wouldn't have minded it being #1 a few months ago when it was good, but now it's been done to death. It needs to be replaced, and I wouldn't mind if #2, or even #4, swooped in and took the title from it.

~ Another song we can do without in this top 5 is Sam Hunt - Body Like A Back Road. This song has no quality, and Hits 1 picked the worst country song to play on their station.

~ I completely forgot Lady Gaga - The Cure was still here and it's in the top 10. This just shows how unimportant the song is becoming to me.

~ Calvin Harris/Pharrell Williams/Katy Perry - Feels is almost to the top 10. I would like to see it make it. This is best song here, and we have some questionable songs in the top 10 at the moment.

~ Thank god you voters got Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill out of the top 10. It was definitely way overdue.

~ Linkin Park - One More Light has had the biggest jump this week. It doesn't surprise me, and it is a very good thing that a good tribute single like this is having good success. It just shows how much the world cares.

~ What I would like to know is why Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee/Justin Bieber - Despacito is doing so poorly here, compared to every other chart across the world. It needs to at least be in the top 10, then maybe I will feel better.

~ Childish Gambino - Redbone just keeps rising. Again, I never thought Hits 1 would pick up on such a creepy and weird hip hop, funkish song like this. I don't like it, but apparently others like this strange stuff.

~ I'm so glad Louis Tomlinson/Bebe Rexha/Digital Farm Animals - Back To You had a reasonable second week jump. I am loving this song a lot, and I would like to see it continuing to do well in the coming weeks.

~ DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Chance The Rapper - I'm The One made a big jump just when we thought we were going to get rid of it. Oh well, at least it's not the worst here.

~ Train - Play That Song has no business continuing to be here. This song did poor all over the world, so I highly doubt that many people could still be voting for it. It needs to leave guys, it's the worst song here.

~ I am so upset Selena Gomez - Bad Liar had the biggest drop this week. This song is one of the best here, and I wish it had done better than what it did. Oh well, I guess I just have to see what happens in the coming weeks.

~ Speaking of decent drops, Bruno Mars - That's What I Like took a very good tumble this week. Likewise, AJR - Weak also dropped, much to my dismay.

~ Aaron Carter - Sooner Or Later looks like it might be coming to it's end. I really wanted this song to do well. At least it was here, right? I guess that's okay, considering the several misses this station had this year.

~ Ugh. Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know just needs to get the boot. Enough is enough already.
