Our first new song is by Katy Perry and Zedd. 365. Don’t stress if you haven’t heard this one. I didn’t either before this week. That being said, 365 is a pretty good song. I like the chorus a lot. When I first heard it, I wasn’t too sure about it, but now I like it quite a bit. That being said, I’ve only heard it three times, so that’s why it’s in blue.


Kelsea Ballerini - Miss Me More comes in at #35, and I just want to be done with the country music. We can keep Dan + Shay, but that’s about it. I don’t really like country and I wish Hits 1 would stop picking it up. That being said, this song is decent, but I just want to be done with this.


I guess now we’re getting more Cardi B and Bruno Mars with Please Me. I have to say, I was kind of expecting this one to be like Finesse, and I was super disappointed. Cardi B just sounds terrible. It’s a bit of a slow song, and she does not work well with that. I guess Bruno Mars sounds decent, but at this point it doesn’t really matter because he never really sings.


Best Debut: Zedd/Katy Perry - 365


Biggest Jump: The Chainsmokers/5 Seconds Of Summer - Who Do You Love (+20): As you can see, I have a new favorite song… I’ll save you the brainpower. It’s this one. This song is spectacular in every way and it just got better with more listens. I’m so glad this song is doing well.


Biggest DROP!!!: Jake Miller - Wait For You (-10): Does anybody really care about this one? Clearly not. I couldn’t care less about this one. I honestly don’t care what happens to it, and I’m surprised it even debuted.

Blurb Me More


Of course SICKO MODE dropped down to the bottom 5. Hits 1 just has a thing against rap even if this is a solid song.


Why the heck is Shotgun still here? In fact, it actually made it into the Billboard Pop 40 this week, so… I’m gonna start voting for Shotgun. For the memes. Let’s see how long we can make it stay.


Lauren Daigle - You Say dropped out of the top 20. That’s sad. I really like it.


I don’t know why Sue Me jumped up so much. I don’t really find it all that good.


thank u, next is not doing well and it’s funny to see it just die.


7 rings is doing well. Crap.


And surprisingly, Hey Look Ma, I Made It jumped up to #2! I don’t know how, but it’s nice to see every song from Pray For The Wicked get success, because that album was amazing.


Oh yeah, and James Arthur - Empty Space, benny blanco/Calvin Harris - I Found You and Imagine Dragons - Machine left. Empty Space was great, and I’m sad people didn’t recognize it, I Found You was terrible, and it was fun to watch it fail and Machine was destined to die because of Bad Liar.
