New Entrants
~ New to the countdown this week is Power Is Power from SZA, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott. This is a very good song in my opinion. The production is fantastic here, and all three artists on the track deliver outstanding performances. SZA sounds amazing as always, The Weeknd doesn't disappoint as expected, and Travis Scott surprisigly delivers a nice verse. While I'm not a Game of Thrones fan in the slightest, I'm sure this was an excellent addition to the soundtrack. I'm hoping this stays for a while.
~ Wow, songs just keep on debuting in the top 20. This is the fifth week in a row now. At least they have all been deserving of such (as far as I remember). 5 Seconds Of Summer debut at #19 with Easier this week. While this song doesn't top Youngblood, I think it is very good. Their voices sound good as usual, and the production was as expected. I especially love that part that leads into the final chorus. The vocal harmony is so beautiful there. I feel as if they took a different approach with this one, and I appreciate that and like this song.
Entrant Rankings:
- SZA, The Weeknd, & Travis Scott - Power Is Power
- 5 Seconds Of Summer - Easier
Hit-Bound

- Ed Sheeran/Chance The Rapper/PnB Rock - Cross Me (DEBUT)
- Mabel - Don't Call Me Up

- Martin Garrix/Macklemore/Patrick Stump - Summer Days
- Kygo & Rita Ora - Carry On
~ I don't really have an opinion on Cross Me at the moment.
~ Finally, we have The Chainsmokers replacing Kills You Slowly with Call You Mine. This track features the vocals of Bebe Rexha. She sounds nice here. Nothing amazing, but nice. The only complaint that I have about this song is the drop, it is extremely underwhelming, and the production almost fits with it in that category.
My Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. Katy Perry - Never Really Over
2. Push Baby - Mama's House
3. Martin Garrix/Macklemore/Patrick Stump - Summer Days
4. Andy Grammer - Don't Give Up On Me
5. Bazzi - Paradise
Power Is Blurbs
~ This week, the Jonas Brothers managed to snatch a tenth week atop the countdown with Sucker. I am hoping this will mark its last week there, considering we have much more #1 potential in the top 10. Take Me! or If I Can't Have You for instance.
~ Radio has finally done it. I am completely sick of Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho. This song has become incredibly unbearable.
~ I don't know what prompted that jump from I'm So Tired..., but I'm not complaining. This song is still good in my opinion, and the top 20 score could use a boost.
~ Speaking of jumps into the top 20 that seem strange, we now have Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored back up in the ranks. This was unnecessary. Radio is about to kill this song for me too.
~ I am glad that Old Town Road is starting to drop. I don't know why this song is so popular to the point that it needs to be the #1 song in this country for weeks on end. Lil Nas X doesn't have an ounce of talent, and this song is incredibly stupid. I don't understand why Americans support this kind of music so incessantly.
~ I don't understand why songs like Medicine and Out Of Love aren't doing okay here when they are everywhere else. More so the latter. This is kind of disappointing to see two great songs going to waste.
~ Irrelevant songs like When The Party's Over, Better, and 7 Rings need to make their way out and allow room for better songs to take their place. These songs are incredibly bland and tasteless, especially the latter two.
~ As far as the exits go, good riddance to Low Key, and it is sad to see Last Hurrah leave--considering it was one of Bebe Rexha's stronger tracks.

First.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way I love your new post.
I'm getting sick of Sucker being number 1 for so long, it's dawned on me the Wutchuwant crew will never stop voting for them :(
ReplyDeleteHopefully this week was its last.
