Biggest Jump Of The Week: Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX – Fancy (+36)

New Entrants
~ Coming back from a 2-year hiatus, we have Cobra Starship who teamed up with Icona Pop to make Never Been In Love. I don't usually look at Icona Pop in a good way after I Love It. But they redeemed themselves in this song. And Cobra Starship never really disappoints.

~ One Direction is back with the super catchy Steal My Girl. You had to have heard it at least once during the week with how often it was aired. It's probably their best for now. We'll see how long it goes before it gets old and I'll be wanting it to leave. But for now, it's really good.

Steal My Blurbs
~ Spyder Harrison interrupted the countdown after #26 to play Fergie – L.A. Love (La La La).

~ MKTO – American Dream is already in the Top 10. As far as I can recall, this is only it's third week.

~ Also in the Top 10, we got Tove Lo – Habits. Looks like she's doing a good job of "staying high" (on the countdown).

~ Steal My Girl > FireProof

~ I seriously thought about putting Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX – Fancy in orange after the enormous jump. But I hate All About That Bass so much!!! UGH!!!

~ I feel like writing a letter to Hits 1 saying that kicking Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando out of the countdown is not okay. It's doing well on the AT40. I don't understand. #BringBailandoBack

~ OneRepublic – Love Runs Out is back in the Top 5. Luckily I don't mind because I still think it's good. But I don't want it to become the next Counting Stars. So if it could drop at least out of the Top 10, I'd be happy.

~ Bleachers – I Wanna Get Better needs to leave. It was nice having you around. But you need to leave.

~ Sia – Chandelier is back in the bottom half of the countdown after only two weeks in the teens.

~ On Twitter, someone who I'm assuming is a Heymous Molly fan tweeted a photo of the countdown list from last weekend saying that Life's A Beach is climbing the countdown at #22. Why am I bringing this up? That countdown list was from this blog.

~ Every time Echosmith – Cool Kids comes on, my dad says that it sounds like a Taylor Swift song. I've listened to enough Taylor Swift to know that Cool Kids sounds NOTHING like her style of music.

~ Speaking of Taylor Swift, she's going to help coach all the coaches on this season of The Voice. There's a lot of hate about that. And I don't understand. She's actually a great choice. Not because she's a good singer and makes good music. But because she was once a country artist. That's good for Blake Shelton's team. And she knows a thing or two about pop music now for the other coaches like Adam Levine.

~ New #1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Gavin DeGraw – Fire

~ Jenna Marbles must be really lovin' The Vamps/Shawn Mendes – Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart). This is the fourth straight week where I heard it on the #YouTube15. I can't argue with her though. It's a really good song.

~ Hit 45 Chart for this week is actually out on time this week. Will Calvin Harris/John Newman – Blame hold #1 for a second week in a row? Click here to find out.
