New Entrants
~ Harry Styles is returning to the countdown this week with Kiwi. I have had mixed feelings with this one from the start. At first listen, I wasn't sure I was going to like this one too much. The lyrics seemed just weird to me, but after more listens I grew into the lyrical content more and the vocals just sounded really cool to me. Harry Styles really is a very good solo artist, and I am enjoying this one a lot right now. Hopefully we can see some decent success out of this one here that should be better than its predecessor.
~ Our second new appearance is the return from X Ambassadors. The song is called Ahead Of Myself. I have really enjoyed this one from the start. I'm not sure I would say that this is their best one yet, but it's got a good shot of holding that title for me. I just find the vocals really chill and the melody is really catchy. It's one of those empowering songs that tells you to get back up and learn from your past issues. I like those kinds of songs, which helps my opinion on this one. I hope to see some decent success out of this one.
~ Our final, and best debut this week comes in the form of Nick Jonas - Find You. This is a lot different from what Nick Jonas has done before, but I'm really feeling the vibe to it. I really do find the vocals good as usual, so that's all I can really say about this one, other than the fact that it's really damn catchy. I expect to see some achievement out of this one.

Nice post! So it seems you only think Sober Up is decent. I thought with your love of Weak you would like this on the same level.
