Blurb Mistake

~ We see a continuation of Happier at the top of the countdown. I am happy to see this one doing so well. When I first heard this song, I wasn't sure that it was going to take off, but it has in all arenas. All set aside, I hope to see this one continue to do well, as it is one of the best songs here right now.

~ We see a well deserved jump from Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It this week. Hopefully we can see this one replace High Hopes soon, as that one is fading on me a little bit.

~ Our top 20 is pretty clear of all of the bad songs, so that is good. If only we could get 2002 and Tequila out of here. I did not expect either of them to take off this much, especially 2002.

~ Body was a hit months ago, I am not sure why it has shown up to Hits 1 so late, but I suppose that sometimes that is just how it is here.

~ I am not very happy about the fall of Maroon 5/Cardi B - Girls Like You this week. This is one of my favorite songs at the moment, and one of the most successful songs in America no doubt. I am not sure why it hasn't been too successful here.

~ Charlie Puth - The Way I Am took a big fall this week. I am glad about this. I used to think this song was good, but it got pretty old really quick.

~ The entire bottom five is filled with good songs. I really hope to see none of them exit soon, but it is inevitable. I would rather see songs like Jackie Chan, Say Amen (Saturday Night), and Lucid Dreams leave. They have been done to death.
