After 13 weeks of our #1 song changing, we finally have a #1 song holding. I have to say, this was a hell of a week. Especially for a shorter week this week for airplay since Monday was occupied for the Memorial Day edition of the Weekend Countdown. Also, I have 8 days left of school. Just this next week and then the first 3 days next week for finals. So there will definitely be more to this blog once school finishes. Before we get to this week's Fresh 45, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

New Entrants
~ This week one artist had two songs debuting the countdown. It is non other than DJ Snake. If you flashback to last year, you'd remember that Turn Down For What failed to last longer than one week. Now he's got two new songs. Let's see how long both of them last. First we have Major Lazer/DJ Snake/MO – Lean On. I thought at first, this song had a lazy production. But I've grown into it. It's actually kind of catchy. So yeah. I think of Major Lazer to be an extremely lazy producer. But this song is an exception. I'm also enjoying MO's vocals.
~ Next we have DJ Snake again with You Know You Like It featuring AlunaGeorge. This is definitely a super catchy song. Although the breakbeat sounds kind of repetitive throughout the song, I'm enjoying quite a bit. One of the reasons is AlunaGeorge's vocals.
~ Charlie Puth debuted this week with Meghan Trainor. The song Marvin Gaye is a pretty catchy song. I'm really enjoying Puth's vocals. I've definitely heard worse from Trainor, so that's pretty good. This song is starting to slowly rise up the iTunes charts. Let's see how long it'll stay with us.
~ Bea Miller – Fire N Gold finally debuted the countdown! The loud beat that hits you in the chorus is something I cannot get over. I really like this song. It's definitely better than Young Blood and I hope it stays longer than that song did. "Baby we were born with Fire N Gold in our eyes. Eyes."
~ One Direction – Where Do Broken Hearts Go sounds like a typical One Direction song (disregarding it debuting all the way at #15). Like all their songs, I'll enjoy it for quite a while, then I'll get sick of it. But for now, I'm enjoying it.
~ "Give it to me, I'm Worth It!" This is my second favorite debut this week! It is hands-down Fifth Harmony's best! I'm still annoyed Hits 1 removed Kid Ink. But I'm still enjoying this solo version. It does sound a lot like Jason Derulo – Talk Dirty, but better! That's right peeps! I said it. Worth It sounds better than Talk Dirty! So that's that.
~ Now for the best debut! It is "F.U.N, fun" from Mr. Worldwide and the talented Chris Brown. It is a fact that Chris Brown can sing really well. It's just that his music doesn't show it. This is the kind of song his voice fits in really well, which is probably the main reason I'm enjoying this tune. Pitbull's part is good too. But he sounds like he does in all his other songs. The only thing differentiating all these Pitbull songs from one another is the featured artist. I want success from this song!
Hit-Bound
~ Here is the Hit-Bound list. I haven't done one in a while.
Blurb It To Me, I'm Worth It
~ This is its second week on the countdown and Maroon 5 – This Summer's Gonna Hurt is already in the Top 10.
~ Tove Lo – Talking Body is in the Top 5! I don't think it'll get any higher.
~ During the past week, I've been really enjoying All Time Low – Something's Gotta Give. I had that song on repeat earlier this week.
~ Ryn Weaver – OctaHate and Nate Ruess – Nothing Without Love both lasted only 3 weeks on the countdown. Short, but sweet. You both will probably be forgotten soon. Just being honest here.
~ Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk and Maroon 5 – Sugar both finally dropped out of the Top 10. Now let's work on getting Thinking Out Loud out of this countdown as soon as possible.
~ Words cannot describe how annoying Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman is. Every time that song comes on the radio, I change the station.
~ Thanks to Thinking Out Loud rising to #3, Sheppard – Geronimo is no longer the worst song on the countdown. But it does come in a very close second. I do often get sick of alternative songs, but none can compare to how sick I've gotten of Geronimo.
~ I don't see Magic! – No Way No staying with us for much longer.
~ Marlon Roudette – When The Beat Drops Out has been with us for quite a while now. I'm impressed by this.
~ D. Guetta/N. Minaj/Afrojack/B. Rexha – Hey Mama is now at #11! I want to see this hit Top 10. This song could possibly be my summer jam of 2015! Every time this comes on in my car, I turn the volume way up and jam out to it.
~ Let's just take a moment of silence to honor Hozier – Take Me To Church and its service for this countdown. Thank you. You will never be forgotten (at least by me).
