Biggest Jump Of The Week: Adam Lambert - Ghost Town, Selena Gomez - Good For You, and One Direction - Drag Me Down (+11)

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Maroon 5 - Maps

Debuts

~ X Ambassadors are debuting this week at #39 with the very old and annoying Renegades. Why couldn't The Hum debut instead of this song? Ugh. I hope this song starts to fade away and have a short countdown tenure. Please Hits 1? Please?

~ Pentatonix are debuting this week at #37 with the very catchy tune Can't Sleep Love. I really am enjoying this song. This may be one of their best songs. I hope this song has a somewhat good Countdown Tenure because I don't know what Hits 1 will do with a song like this.

~ Macklemore & Ryan Lewis debut at #34 this week with Downtown. So far, this song is pretty bad and it probably will stay that way. I just don't like all the excessive rap. A song with a lot of rap really isn't my style. A little is okay. I hope this song doesn't peak that high but it probably will.

~ For the highest debut at #32 we have Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean?. This song is super good and catchy. This song debuted on The Billboard Hot 100 at #1 this week. I hope to see some high peaking from this song.

Hit-Bound

• A Great Big World - Hold Each Other
• Maroon 5 - Feelings

Biggest Drop! Of The Week: Omi - Cheerleader (-20)

Biggest Jump! Of The Week: MKTO - Bad Girls (+13)

DEBUTS

~ Los 5 re-enters with Manana this week at #42. Nothing to say really except that I don't care either way.

~ Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams is debuting at #40 this week. I love this song so much. It is actually kind of weird that it debuted because it only had like 14 spins and Dimitri Vegas/Like Mike/Ummet Ozcan - The Hum had like 22 spins. Whatever. I'm definitely not complaining. This song can stay as long as it wants.

~ Hailee Steinfeld debuted at #38 with the uplifting Love Myself. I love this song. It makes me want to jump up and dance and have a good time. I really like to sing this one too. I am also told that I am a super amazing singer. I hope this song stays quite a bit.

~ R. City and Adam Levine debut at #35 this week with the good Locked Away. I like this song but I hope it does not get too overplayed because Adam Levine's voice gets a little old when his songs are overplayed. I hope this song will stay a bit.

~ Zedd/Jon Bellion - Beautiful Now is a long time HitBound veteran debuting at #33. I think this song is one of the best EDM songs of 2015. I really enjoy this song and hope it stays a bit.

~ Little Mix hasn't had a countdown since the 2012 song Wings. I think? Anyway, at #30 they are debuting with Black Magic. I hope this song stays quite a bit.

Recommended Download: David Guetta/Showtek/Magic!/Sonny Wilson - Sun Goes Down

Biggest Drop! Of The Week: Fall Out Boy - Uma Thurman (-23)

Biggest Jump! Of The Week: Los 5 - Mañana (+16)

DEBUTS

~At #36, we have Daya and Hide Away. I really think this song is good. I hope it lasts a while. The chorus is super catchy as well.

~At #23 we have One Direction's first single without Zayn Malik, called Drah Me Down. In late July, Zayn's fiancée Perrie Edwards called off their engagement. In an interview, she was asked what her favorite song was and she said Drag Me Down. She hates Zayn bowl. But anyway, this song is awesome and I hope it lasts quite a while on this countdown.

DEBUTS

Sam Smith - Like I Can is a great and upbeat song. I hope it stays a while because I feel Sam has gone down a different road on this song and I like it.

Los 5 - Manana is a good song that I have had stuck in my head the past week. It doesn't seem like hit material, but I'll take it. I hope it stays a bit.
