So, for our first new song, we have Charlie Puth’s brother, Stephen Puth with S**ual Vibe. I actually really enjoy this one. I like his voice a lot, and overall, the song’s just really catchy. I would love to see this one do well, but we’ll see.


And then we have the amazing return of Avril Lavigne with Tell Me It’s Over. Let me say, she sounds great in this one. She has just a great voice, and I absolutely love this one just because of her voice and how great the song is.


Best Debut: Stephen Puth - S**ual Vibe


Biggest DROP!!!: Fall Out Boy - The Last Of The Real Ones, Imagine Dragons - Machine AND Imagine Dragons - Natural (-6): The Last Of The Real Ones was good, but it had it’s time, Machine had biggest drop last week too, so whatever, and to be honest, Natural didn’t really drop at all. It’s still in the top 20.


Biggest Jump: Dean Lewis - Be Alright (+18): Lets go!!! I really like this one, and I’m SUPER happy it jumped up into the top 20 on it’s second week, but that being said, its it’s second week, so we’ll see.

Blurb Me It’s Over


Today, we lost Lauren Jauregui - Expectations and The Struts/Kesha - Body Talks. I didn’t really care about Expectations, so whatever. I don’t really like it, honestly, I never really liked Fifth Harmony as a whole. And then we lost a great song, which I was surprised about because it was at #21. I’m glad it peaked in the top 10, but I wish it would have done better.


That’s right. A three-way tie for my #1 favorite song this week. I couldn’t decide between Grip, You Say or Be Alright, so I put all three of them at the top. Honestly, they’re all so good, and I never want any of them to leave.


Ocean To Ocean is in the bottom 5 in its second week. Good. It didn’t even deserve to debut.


breathin is heading towards the bottom 5. That’s a shame. I wish it would have lasted longer.


I don’t know why Let Me Down Slowly is still in the top 10. It’s just uninteresting and bland.


thank u, next dropped down to #9. I think 7 rings killed that one. I hope it keeps going down.


Can Without Me not have 6 weeks in a row at #1. I think I can handle 5, but 6? I don’t think I could handle that. I just wish either Happier or High Hopes could hit #1. I would also be okay with a new #1 like Eastside or even Tequila. Anything but this.


#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Sam Smith - Fire On Fire


Most Missed Countdown Song: Panic! At The Disco - L.A. Devotee

Ariana Grande - 7 rings

Gesaffelstein/The Weeknd - Lost In The Fire

Kelsea Ballerini - Miss Me More

Jake Miller - Wait For You

Travis Scott/Drake - SICKO MODE


3 new songs on Hit-Bound this week, starting with this one by Lil Peep, Fall Out Boy and iLoveMakonnen with I’ve Been Waiting. My huge problem with this one is, Lil Peep and Makonnen’s voices are just so annoying. I can’t stand them. The only thing that’s good about this one is, and it actually excels in this, is Patrick Stump’s vocals. He just sounds great. I could see myself maybe growing into this one for that sole reason, but not now.


Next, we have a guy named grandson with Apologize. This one is bad on many different levels. His voice is just annoying, and honestly, I just don’t really like it.


Then, we have a new one by The Chainsmokers and 5SOS. It’s Who Do You Love. I like this one so far, but it just seems kind of cheesy. The whole drop and the part where you can just kind of here his vocals saying “Who do you? Who do you?” Is kind of cheesy, but other than that it’s okay. I guess.

Ally Brooke/Tyga - Low Key (DEBUT)


Hi! I decided to start doing this, so I’m gonna talk about 5 songs each week. (If more than 5 debut, I’ll do all of them.)


As you might know, I really like AJR. If I had the time to make a year-end list, Sober Up would have been at the top. 100 Bad Days is no exception. I like it a lot. I know AJR gets a lot of hate these days, and people aren’t gonna be happy with this, but I think they’re really good.


I like OneRepublic quite a bit. I may or may not have put Counting Stars really high on my rankdown list. I find Bones is really good. Not a contender to beat Counting Stars, but still. I like it a lot, and I’d like to hear more of OneRepublic in the future.


I’m gonna say something here. Billie Eilish is one of the creepiest singers I’ve ever heard. bury a friend is definitely not an exception. This one just creeps me out way too much that I can’t even listen to the whole thing. It’s just so uncomfortable when you’re sitting in a room and this song comes on.


Let me get this straight. By no means do I think Julia Michaels is untalented. She is a phenomenal songwriter and I praise a lot of the work she does. I just don’t think she’s that great of a singer. Anxiety isn’t much better than Issues or some of her other work. It is very well written and I see that, but it just doesn’t sound good. Selena Gomez doesn’t add much either.


We now have 4 Fifth Harmony singers with solo careers! Yayyyyyy… -_-zZz. Camila Cabello is pretty good, I’ll admit. Normani is also pretty good. Lauren Jauregui, ehhh, not so much. Now we get to Ally Brooke, and oh boy… Low Key is just really really bad. I don’t really like her voice and it’s just not great. Tyga is also pretty bad.
