I added 2 new colors: Purple and Orange.
So here's the complete color-code code:
Purple = Best Song On Countdown
Blue = Song Is Okay
Green = Song Is Great!
Yellow = Song Was Good But Got Old
Orange = Worst Song On Countdown
Red = Song Is Bad

New Entants
~ We're welcoming back Selena Gomez – Slow Down. Thank god it wasn't one of the other songs that left last week.

~ We have Paramore – Ain't It Fun. To answer that question, it is fun! This song is fun and made Still Into You old. But this song is fun. I don't expect it to have the success as Still Into You. But I just want it to get somewhere. 

Countdown Info
~ Ellie Goulding – Burn is in the Top 5!

~ Katy Perry ft. Juicy J – Dark Horse is just waiting to enter the Top 10.

~ Besides Selena Gomez – Slow Down, I thought there were no other re-entrants. But there is. And it's sitting there at #16.

~ The Wanted – We Own The Night left so soon! This does not cover all the time it was on Hit-Bound for!

~ MKTO – Classic is slowly moving back up. That's fine.

~ Here we go again with the whole "people don't know where to put the songs that debuted the previous week" thing. I'm talking about Lupe Fiasco ft. Ed Sheeran – Old School Love.

~ The Bottom 5 songs are all good songs!

~ As of right now, here are the 5 songs that suck in no particular order. (Whether overplay or just bad.)

1. Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)
2. Katy Perry – Roar
3. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – White Walls
4. Beyoncé – XO
5. AJR – I'm Ready

~ Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Can't Hold Us are both shooting to last a year on the countdown. Will Maroon 5 – Payphone hold the record?

~ Eminem ft. Rihanna – The Monster has been at #1 three times on the American Top 40 Countdown and 0 times on this countdown. Please vote for this song for the sake of this blog because if this song is not #1 next week, it will be really hard to keep the negativity out of my post. You know what? I'll start blogging the American Top 40. They seem to know what real music is! The link is http://americantop40review.blogspot.com/

~ Check out my personal Top 40 Blog at http://todaystop40hits.blogspot.com/

~ I've been listening to Far East Movement ft. Ryan Tedder – Rocketeer a lot this week. If you haven't heard it before, check it out.

~ This Week's Artist Of The Week: Far East Movement

~ Enrique Iglesias ft. Pitbull – I'm A Freak isn't that bad. Check it out. Enrique's new single.

~ I've also been listening a lot to Lifehouse ft. Natasha Bedingfield – Between The Raindrops. Can that song still debut this countdown? If it can, please do.

~ For the Hit-Bound poll, Aloe Blacc – The Man came in first with the most votes. Avicii ft. Dan Tyminski – Hey Brother came in second and American Authors – Best Day Of My Life and NONONO – Pumpin' Blood tied in third. Unfortunately, none of those songs debuted.

~ I have to say, this wasn't a very good week. I'm disappointed.
