I Blurb It

~ I am quite happy seeing Delicate steal the top spot this week, as I consider it the best song in the top 10 at the moment, besides Ariana Grande - no tears left to cry. I hope it can grasp a few more weeks atop the chart, but I would't mind if any other song in green in the top 10 would take the #1 slot.

~ The Middle, while it's not the worst song ever, could use a dip in numbers on this chart. It has had a good run atop the chart, but I feel as if we need some newer, fresher songs to get up there. I still somewhat enjoy the tune, but there are other songs that I enjoy better. 

~ I am very glad to see 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood in the top 10 this week. I have been enjoying this song a lot lately, and its definitely among the top 5 songs on this countdown for me right now. I thoroughly enjoy the vibe of this song and I like how the vocals compliment the production. I just think it is a really cool song.

~ At this point I would much rather see High Hopes take the spot of its predecessor in the top 10. This is another track that I have really been enjoying lately. I like the positive feeling I get while listening to this song.

~ I would really like to see Meghan Trainor - Let You Be Right headed down in the other direction. It is not a song that I would like to see get much further here. It is one of the few bad songs on this countdown. My hope is to finally see a countdown with all good, decent, or great songs.

~ On the note of not so good songs, Maren Morris - Rich should be on its way out, too. I feel as if this song just has all the wrong things put together. It has the potential to work, but I just don't think it does at all.

~ I'm kind of sad to see Psycho dropping so far down in the countdown this week. I really enjoy this song, but I really would just like it to stay a bit longer.

~ I feel as if Thunder has had quite a long run here, and that it just needs to exit. It's never really going to get any better in my eyes. I feel as if the radio has done it to death by now. So, I would just like to see a fresh song take its place.
