Biggest Jump Of The Week: The Vamps/Demi Lovato – Somebody To You (+19)

New Entrants
~ The first bad thing that happened this week was the debut of Bastille – Flaws. This song has so many flaws in it (hence the title) that there is absolutely nothing in the song I like. It does not deserve to be here.

~ Next we have Mr. Probz who got the help of Robin Schulz to produce Waves. My Pandora station does not play the Robin Schulz mix. It plays the original version for me which is a LOT slower and doesn't have the beat. And keep in mind, I listen to Today's Hits Radio on Pandora. This song is really good. However, I think the chorus is a little repetitive. But aside from that, this song is a keeper and I'm glad it debuted.

Hit-Bound
~ AJR hosted Hit-Bound this weekend.

~ I believe New Politics – Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens) left Hit-Bound. Hopefully, it debuts soon (by soon, I mean next weekend).

~ Eden XO – (Not) Too Cool To Dance just keeps getting better every time I listen to it.

~ The Script – Superheroes and Alesso/Tove Lo – Heroes (We Could Be) both debuted on Hit-Bound. A good thing that happened this weekend.

~ No matter how hard it tries, I do not think Tiffany Houghton – Love Like That will debut this countdown. It's a good song though.


~ Bebe Rexha – I Can't Stop Drinking About You is still on Hit-Bound.  

~ Here's the Hit-Bound list:

• The Script – Superheroes
• Tiffany Houghton – Love Like That
• Alesso/Tove Lo – Heroes (We Could Be)
• Eden XO – (Not) Too Cool To Dance
• Magic! – Let Your Hair Down
• Meghan Trainor – Lips Are Movin'
• Imagine Dragons – I Bet My Life
• Privory – Weekend
• AJR – Infinity
• Bebe Rexha – I Can't Stop Drinking About You
• OneRepublic – I Lived
• Charli XCX – Break The Rules
• Bea Miller – Young Blood
• David Guetta/Sam Martin – Dangerous
• Lorde – Yellow Flicker Beat

Top 5 Hit-Bound

1. The Script – Superheroes

2. Alesso/Tove Lo – Heroes (We Could Be)

3. David Guetta/Sam Martin – Dangerous

4. Eden XO – (Not) Too Cool To Dance

5. Imagine Dragons – I Bet My Life

I Can't Stop Blurbing About You

~ Ed Sheeran – Don't still at #2 is another bad thing that happened this week.

~ It's about time Magic! – Rude left. Another good thing that happened.

~ 5 Seconds Of Summer – Amnesia is back in the Top 10. That's a bad thing.

~ Charli XCX – Boom Clap dropped all the way to #39! That's a good thing.

~ Gwen Stefani – Baby Don't Lie and Calvin Harris/John Newman – Blame are moving decently high on this countdown. Two more good things.

~ Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass dropped to #35!!! A very good thing!!!

Ok. Back to normal blurbs.

~ Earlier this week, Shawn Mendes released his latest single, Something Big. I don't think it'll be long before it's trending on Jenna Marbles' #YouTube15. But the song is amazing! I want it to become something big! You guys should listen to it.

~ It's too soon for Ella Henderson – Ghost to get ready to leave!

~ Unlike, Eden XO – Too Cool To Dance, every time I listen to Big Data/Joywave – Dangerous, it gets less and less interesting. I do think David Guetta and Sam Martin should replace them.

~ It's official! I do not wanna hear any more music from Jason Derulo. His self-titled album and Future History were both really good and definitely better than the piece of crap that is Talk Dirty.

~ So on the American Top 40 app, there's a section with a two voting polls (one for the Top 40 and the other for the Adult 40). The poll has a list of like seven songs and then an "other" option. One of the songs already there as an option was Blame. I voted for it and then it showed me the results. Blame has the most votes out of all the songs there. It even had more votes than Shake It Off and Steal My Girl combined! Here's a pic of the results (there were more songs, but I couldn't get them in): 

~ The End Of The Year Countdown Voting is still going! Go to the page called "End Of The Year Countdown – Voting", follow the instructions, and vote. You have till Christmas to get your votes in. Vote however many times you want!

~ The 200,000 Pageview Special will most likely come out on Tuesday because I have Tuesday off because of Veterans Day. I'll try and post it then.

My Top 5 Picks

1. Calvin Harris/John Newman – Blame

2. Gwen Stefani – Baby Don't Lie

3. Fergie – L.A. Love (La La)

4. Olivia Somerlyn – Parachute

5. Mr. Probz/Robin Schulz – Waves
