New Entrants
~ Our only new entrant this week comes from new trio, The Shadowboxers. Their song is called Hot Damn. When I first heard this, I was realizing that it took a while to actually get into the song, but once I heard that really upbeat part, I was completely into this song. It has great production from what I hear and it's quite the catchy tune. I hope it will do well, but that's hard to tell with a new band and a new song. We'll have to wait and see.

Hot Blurbs
~ Our new #1 song comes from P!nk with What About Us. I am thrilled to see this one make it to the top of the countdown. I don't know if it will stick here for a few more weeks, but I wouldn't mind that one bit.
~ We see a jump into the top 3 from Ed Sheeran - Perfect. Now, I would very much prefer that this song lift to the #1 spot compared to its predecessor. So, it would be great to see that happen.
~ Well, Taylor Swift has made another top 5 appearance, much to my delight. I am happy to see ...Ready For It? doing so well here as well, even though this may become its peak.
~ Demi Lovato is fresh off her #1 with Sorry Not Sorry, and it has dropped a few spots down to #6. I am getting a little tired of this song, so I don't mind this too much.
~ Yes, Camila Cabello - Havana continues to be my favorite song here. I don't really know how to explain this. I have really just been loving this song a lot lately. That's all I can say really.
~ Portugal. The Man have thankfully redeemed themselves after that very big and upsetting drop from Feel It Still. Hopefully we can keep it up here for a little while longer.
~ Lauv - I Like Me Better made a decent second week jump. I hope we can see this one rise above the #20 spot in the near future here.
~ Sadly, we never got to see Sabrina Carpenter - Why lift above that #20 spot. I would have really liked to see that happen, but there is only a slim chance of that actually still happening. Oh well, at least it wasn't a complete disaster, like I had expected.
~ I am very thankful that Sam Hunt - Body Like A Back Road had the biggest drop here this week. Now, all we have to do is allow it to continue to drop until it's completely gone, which could sadly be a while.
~ Well, The Script - Rain continues to flop more and more after each week. I don't think this song will recover. The chances are very small.
~ Sadly, Bebe Rexha/Florida Georgia Line - Meant To Be didn't make a very good jump on its second week. I don't know if this signals a flop of a song. Hopefully not, because I had hopes this one would do reasonably well here.
~ Bruno Mars - That's What I Like is still here people. I don't know how it can just sit in the bottom 5 forever and taunt us. If it leaves, there's one less bad song here, which makes it all the better.
~ I did in fact watch the American Music Awards this past weekend. I don't have much to say, but collectively the performances were pretty good. Overall, I thought the night went pretty smoothly, and I didn't find much flaws with any performance in particular.
