Debuts

~ Finally a 7 DTHNOB week! I love these weeks!

~ Let's go from lowest debut to highest.

~ One Direction is back with Perfect. This song is a super catchy tune that oddly enough sounds like Taylor Swift's Style. Maybe they tried to do that because I sense that the song is about Taylor's relastionship with band member Harry Styles. I do hope to see some good success from this song without tons of airplay.

~ 5 Seconds Of Summer - Hey Everybody! is a copy of some older song and is good at some times and other times it is just bland and boring. I don't really care how well it does on the countdown as of now.

~ Demi Lovato - Confident is definitely one of my current jams. I love the message and the chorus is super contagious with the catchy fever. I hope to see this song have success like her other countdown song Cool For The Summer did.

~ Alessia Cara - Here was dying out on me last week. Now that it has aired quite a bit this week, I have grown back into it slightly. It was a difficult decision to put it in green but I did because the chorus is super catchy. The reason it was dying out on me last week was because the parts in between the chorus just sounds like she's talking and I don't like those parts. Anyway, I already see it is having some decent success telling by it's debut number. It could go up or down, who knows?

~ Fall Out Boy/Demi Lovato - Irresistible is one of the best songs out right now. I just can't stop singing the part where he says "I love the way you hurt me, it's irresistible." Demi made a nice addition to the song and it is definitely another one of my new jams as well judging that it debuted on The Hot 45 Chart last week at #28 two days after it was released. Anyway, I want to see it in the top 20 next week for sure.

~ Omi - Hula Hoop is okay. I liked it a lot when it first came out but now it is slowly wilting in my opinion. I don't really care where it goes but it definitely is not as popular as his terribly annoying last hit Cheerleader.

~ Here we are with the second highest debut ever! Meghan Trainor and John Legend both return this week, this time together with Like I'm Gonna Lose You. This song bounces between good and okay with me. I honestly didn't think it would debut this high. This is insane. If it had debuted 2 spots higher, it would have broke the record for highest debut currently held by Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe at #13. This song can go wherever it wants as long as it stays a decent amount of time.

~ This was a spectacular week.

Debuts

~ Selena Gomez and Charli XCX debut this week with Same Old Love. I don't get all the problems everyone is having with this song. It is so catchy. Well as Taylor Swift would say... haters gonna hate. Just kidding guys. But seriously I just don't understand it. Why oh why is everyone disliking this song?

~ Andy Grammer - Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah) grew back a bit on me this week but I am just slowly starting to grow out of this song. It should have debuted a month ago when I kind of liked it.

Debuts

~ Maroon 5 debuts this week strangely at the #44 spot with Feelings. Songs usually debut 41 or higher unless they are re-entries. I'm not complaining though. I have been enjoying this retro style song for months now.

~ Hozier debuts with the slightly annoying Someone New at #39. This song used to be okay but now the chorus just kills me.

~ Panic! At The Disco - Victorious is a catchy tune that was released last week. It is debuting at #37 this week. This song has got me singing like crazy.

~ Walk The Moon - Different Colors debuts at #34 with the highest debut of the week. I have been enjoying this song since around springtime and I love the chorus it just makes me wanna jump up and dance.

Debuts

~ Nico & Vinz/Bebe Rexha - That's How You Know has finally debuted. I have been really enjoying this song over the past couple of months. I hope it stays a while.

~ The Weeknd - The Hills is a dark and mysterious song that I am really liking at the moment. I hope Hits 1 keeps this one for a while which they probably will.

~ Echosmith - Let's Love is pretty good right now. Over the time it was on Hit-Bound I thought it was just okay nothing special. But over the past week or so, I have grew a little more into it. I hope this song is nothing like Bright but has a fairly good tenure on the countdown.

~ Ellie Goulding - On My Mind is so catchy. I can't get it out of my head. I hope it stays a bit, but not as long as Love Me Like You Do.

Debuts

~ Elle King debuts this week with the once good and now annoying Ex's & Oh's. Why couldn't this sogn debut when it was good. Why Hits 1? Why? 

~ Shy Carter is debuting with his first single Bring It Back with rapper Aleon Craft who does a pretty cool rap in the song. I thought this song was great at first, then okay, then annoying, and now it is back to okay. 

~ Nick Jonas - Levels is excellently catchy. I can't get it out of my head. This may be Nick's best. I really hope it doesn't get overplayed.

~ A Great Big World - Hold Each Other is a super catchy tune that I have really been enjoying lately. I hope it stays good.

#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.
