Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband (–22)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Omi – Cheerleader (+18)

New Entrants
~ Everyone please make way for Queen Nicki Minaj as she slays her way into this countdown yet again with The Night Is Still Young. The last solo song from her was Anaconda from last year, which didn't last too long even though it was a really catchy song. I'm hoping The Night Is Still Young can be as successful as a bunch of other songs from Queen Minaj like Starships. But overall, I am definitely loving this song.

~ The Weeknd replaced himself on the countdown this week with Can't Feel My Face, a song that I found to be weird at first. I personally think Earned It was and will always be his best at this rate, not that this song isn't good because it is. It is quite catchy. I don't know how far this will get since Earned It was a #1 song everywhere, but it didn't even hit Top 10 on this countdown.

Hit-Bound
~ Here is the Hit-Bound list:

• MKTO – Bad Girls
• Selena Gomez – Good For You (DEBUT)
• Sam Smith – Like I Can
• Becky G – Lovin' So Hard
• Years & Years – King
• Mowgli's – I'm Good
• Flo Rida/Robin Thicke/Verdine White – I Don't Like It, I Love It
• The Heydaze – Dumb (DEBUT)
• Shawn Mendes – Stitches
• Daya – Hide Away
• American Authors – Go Big Or Go Home
• Los 5 – Manana
• Just Seconds Apart – Unbelievable
• Kaya Stewart – In Love With A Boy
• Adam Lambert – Ghost Town

~ So in conclusion, Steve Aoki/Moxie – I Love It When You Cry by no surprise left Hit-Bound.

Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks

1. Adam Lambert – Ghost Town

2. Flo Rida/Robin Thicke/Verdine White – I Don't Like It, I Love It

3. Selena Gomez – Good For You

4. Sam Smith – Like I Can

5. MKTO – Bad Girls

The Blurbs Are Still Young

~ A lot of you are questioning why I think DJ Snake/AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It is close to being old. The reason is because I listened to the song A LOT before it debuted here. Plus, it's EXTREMELY repetitive. It's very easy to get sick of that continuous beat.

~ Nick Jonas – Jealous needs to leave already. This is absolutely ridiculous. I remember when it debuted and I didn't think it would be that successful. Well look where it is now. This is the first countdown it debuted on as well as the only one it is still on now.

~ Former countdown songs Heymous Molly – Life's A Beach and Halsey – Ghost keep airing on Hits 1. This is ridiculous. These songs had their shots and they failed to be successful. And now they're haunting the Hits 1 playlist hoping for another shot. How about a big fat NO!

~ Magic! – No Way No and Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband are definitely leaving within the next couple of weeks.

~ I thought for sure the drop from Dear Future Husband would allow Charlie Puth/Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye to rise over #30. Clearly I was wrong.

~ I find it a little interesting how Sam Smith/John Legend – Lay Me Down is still here. It's pulling an Imagine Dragons – I Bet My Life where it hangs around in the bottom third of the countdown after not really having that much success in the higher parts of the countdown.

~ Olly Murs/Travie McCoy – Wrapped Up is now EXTREMELY annoying!!! Please leave soon! I never thought I could hate an Olly Murs song before. He usually has really good music that sticks with me for a really long time. This one got annoying relatively quickly.

~ Marlon Roudette – When The Beat Drops Out is hanging on for dear life. I'm amazed at how long it has stayed. I thought it would've left within its first few weeks considering this is literally the only station you will hear this song.

~ George Ezra – Budapest has had its time. Now it needs to leave. It was nice while it lasted.

~ For the past few weeks, reader and commenter Thatchos has claimed that D. Guetta/N. Minaj/B. Rexha/Afrojack – Hey Mama has hit its peak (at #10). Way to prove him wrong. Let's have this song hit Top 5 next week!

~ At this rate, Sugar and Thinking Out Loud are two definite contenders for the Bottom 5 Songs Of 2015. I now cast death upon these two songs!*

*Assuming that I did it right, they should leave soon (which I know they're not going to).

~ The Q&A post should be out sometime this week. Stay tuned for that.

~ Hit 45 Chart is out! Will Adam Lambert – Ghost Town hold #1 for a second week in a row?!?! You'll have to hang on to find out!

~ As much as I try to make these posts fun for you to read, we're about to enter serious mode. So yesterday, the United States supreme court has ruled that no state in the US can ban same-sex marriage. So basically, same-sex marriage has been legalized in all 50 states. Yesterday was a really important and special day for a lot of people including myself because it was basically a way of saying that everyone is equal. This ruling was a huge step forward towards marriage equality all around the world. As President Barack Obama quoted, "All people should be treated equally, regardless of who they are or who they love. When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free," with the trending #LoveWins. This was a very special day that so many companies have changed their solid-color logos to rainbow-colored logos. Literally there were rainbows all over social media. Yesterday, YouTube released a video titled, "#ProudToLove - Celebrating Marriage Equality and LGBT Pride Month" showing many YouTubers who have came out in one of their videos as well as the supreme courts decision to legalize same-sex marriages nationwide. It's a very emotional video that put tears into my eyes. I'll put the link down below. But overall, this date (June 26, 2015) is going down in history. As quoted from YouTuber Davey Wavey, "It's like one of those things you know was going to happen someday but it didn't feel like that someday was going to be this someday." So yeah. That was a very long paragraph right there. Let's move along with the post.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Tie Between Nick Jonas – Chains and George Ezra – Budapest (–21)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Rachel Platten – Fight Song (+18)

New Entrants
~ Our one new entrant recently hit #1 on iTunes, unfortunately. I find Omi – Cheerleader to be rather annoying and distasteful. When I look at the reviews for the song on iTunes, I see a lot of 1-star negative reviews and I have to say, I agree with these people. I don't know why this song is popular. It's extremely annoying with the excessive trumpets. I really hope it doesn't go too far in this countdown. But with it being #1 on iTunes, I don't see it leaving us any time soon, unfortunately. 

Blurb-Aids Don't Fix Bullet Holes
~ Tove Lo – Talking Body has hit a new peak up at #3. I highly doubt it'll get any higher. But you never know. It's definitely one biggest alternative songs at the moment (along with our annoying #2).

~ With Sam Hunt – Take Your Time entering the Top 10 this week, that makes the entire class of debuts from the week of May 23, 2015 to be in the Top 10 at the same time.

~ Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman debuted on American Top 40 this week. Because of this, I don't see it leaving this countdown any time soon.

~ Is it just me or is One Direction – Where Do Broken Hearts Go not popular anywhere else. I find that very interesting how a One Direction song is blowing up here, but nowhere else.

~ Speaking of One Direction, I keep hearing so many rumors about them. Like I keep hearing how Zayn Malik is returning even though he really isn't. Then I heard that they're possibly breaking up??? I don't know. I'm tired of this.

~ Ella Henderson – Ghost is going on about as if it never left the countdown at all. It is extremely annoying at this point. So I would be happy if it would leave very soon.

~ I already know that Charlie Puth/Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye is going to start blowing up soon. Don't believe me? Just watch.

~ That was a little bit of a fall to #32 for Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun on its fourth week on the countdown. I want it to stay! C'mon Mr. Worldwide.

~ Magic! – No Way No will be unfortunately leaving us soon. Why couldn't this song blow up instead of Rude??? Rude was just straight up annoying.

~ My Q&A post will be up soon. Be sure to ask me some questions. Click on the link in the previous post to take you to the survey where you can ask your question(s).

~ Also, be sure to continue to vote for the 2015 Summer Soundtrack!

~ Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Find out if David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Afrojack, and Bebe Rexha will #1 for a third week in a row with Hey Mama.

~ There are actually some really good songs on the YouTube15 w/ Jenna Marbles (my parents keep saying she's annoying, I think she's funny?!). There are two songs I heard today on that show that I would recommend you look up just because I think they're so good! They are:

• Eva Simons/Konshens – Policeman
• Madcon/Ray Dalton – Don't Worry

I personally think the latter of the two songs is the best song on the YouTube15. It's just so catchy! I don't think either of them are available on iTunes in the United States unfortunately. That's just so sad. But since they're on the YouTube15, they are obviously on YouTube. So you should look them up if you haven't heard them.

~ Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! May you enjoy this special day to celebrate you as a father. :)

Video Reviews:

• Maroon 5 – This Summer's Gonna Hurt... (Song Grade: A)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa64gOwuIyE

Video Review: Let me just start off by saying this video has absolutely no relation to the song itself. Instead, for the first half of the video we just see Adam Levine getting dressed and ready for a performance lip syncing to the song. Then him and the rest of the band hit the stage for the second half of the video. Not much to this video. There was only one thing that wowed me during the video and the shot of Adam Levine's bare ass. That was really the only enjoyable part of this mediocre video. It is likely I will never watch the video again.

Overall Video Grade: C+

• Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do (Song Grade: A+)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJtDXIazrMo

Video Review: So Fifty Shades Of Grey, huh? More like Fifty Shades Of Sex. It's clearly shown in the video that there's a lot of sex in this movie, not that that's a bad thing, at least if I'm not watching it with my parents, otherwise it'll get awkward. As much as this song and video is about sex, I really don't care. The scenery in some of the shots is just beautiful. I'm still in love with the song and the video actually makes me love the song more. I may not like the movie that much, but I absolutely love this song and video. I would definitely again. It has over 82,000 dislikes on YouTube, which is no surprise to me. I know a lot of people probably don't like it because it's about sex, but I am one of the 2,273,032 people who likes this.

Overall Video Grade: A+

• David Guetta/Nicki Minaj/Bebe Rexha/Afrojack – Hey Mama (Song Grade: A+)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO59tfQ2TbA

Video Review: I had absolutely no idea what was happening in this video. I mean you had David Guetta, you had Afrojack, then you had some weird hologram of Nicki Minaj. I'm sorry Guetta but this was probably your weirdest video ever. I absolutely love the song, but the video just isn't working for me.

Overall Video Grade: C

• Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You (Song Grade: A)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV5lzRHrGeg

Video Review: This video for the most part is Tom Hanks lip syncing throughout the song. It wasn't really until the final chorus where Carly Rae Jepsen and a huge crowd joins him. Even Justin Bieber makes an appearance in this video. Justin also did a parody of this song with Ariana Grande and others. Click here for the link to that video. Aside from that, this video was fun to watch. I may or may not watch it again. But for the most part, it was good.

Overall Video Grade: A–

• Fetty Wap – Trap Queen (Song Grade: F)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_kF4zLNKio

Video Review: This video has absolutely nothing to it. You basically see this guy rapping just about the entire video. Incredibly stupid song and video. And I'm very fascinated by the fact that everyone in this video is black. I don't want to sound racist (even though that was not a racist comment). This song just needs to be abolished from all radio stations and all music charts.

Overall Video Grade: F

• Omi – Cheerleader (Song Grade: C)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGflUbPQfW8

Video Review: Honestly, this song is on the verge of becoming very annoying. And the excessive use of the trumpet in the song doesn't help it at all. The video is okay, I guess. Like Trap Queen, it really doesn't have much to it. But the fact that this is really high up on the iTunes charts kind of scares me.

Overall Video Grade: C– 

• Nicki Minaj – The Night Is Still Young (Song Grade: A+)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvN5h9BE444

Video Review: This song isn't your typical Nicki Minaj song about sex. Thankfully she wasn't naked in this video. It mainly says that the night is still young and you should enjoy while you're still young. Although it may sound stupid because she's partying and drinking, it really does have meaning saying that you should enjoy the time you have while you're still young. Besides that, in the video, Nicki Minaj has clearly not given up on the wigs on makeup that makes her look really young. The video overall was good. That's all I can really say about it.

Overall Video Grade: A–

• Adam Lambert – Ghost Town (Song Grade: A+)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix8ocFEMa1o

Video Review: There was quite a bit going on in this video between watching Adam Lambert "sing" and watching a bunch of dancers. It starts off kind of slow, but then gets more interesting when you reach the chorus. Because I absolutely love this song, the video isn't horrible. But throughout the video, I don't really have a sense as to what's going on. But overall the video was very interesting. By the way, Adam Lambert's album, The Original High, is out now. Go buy or download a copy to get songs like Ghost Town and many others.

Overall Video Grade: B+

• Taylor Swift/Kendrick Lamar – Bad Blood (Song Grade: A+)

Link To YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo

Video Review: Finally! A music video with a storyline that I can follow! Basically Catastrophe (Taylor Swift) and Arsyn (Selena Gomez) worked together until Arsyn turned on Catastrophe. Then a huge chunk of the video is Catastrophe readying herself for that moment of revenge. This video features many other celebrities including Zendaya, Ellie Goulding, and Hayley Williams. We also have our one male artist in the video, Kendrick Lamar, who I would say adds a lot to the song. But that moment when the final chorus comes in and it becomes entirely explosions is the best! I don't know about you, but I personally think this music video can be turned into a movie. This video wins the award for being my favorite music video so far this year. 

Overall Video Grade: A+

New Entrants
~ Everyone should remember Jess Glynne as being the singer in the 2014 hit, Clean Bandit – Rather Be. Her debut this week, Hold My Hand, really is nothing special (at the moment at least). I think it's just another song to fill the countdown.

~ Rachel Platten debuted this week with the inspirational Fight Song. I tend to not really like songs with the word "song" in the title (i.e. Kelly Clarkson – Heartbeat Song). But I am definitely enjoying this one. I hope to see some success out of this song.

This Is My Blurb Song
~ Taylor Swift – Bad Blood just missed a perfect opportunity to have hit #1 within 4 weeks on the countdown. The record for the shortest amount of time is currently held by Katy Perry – Roar.

~ Great. The last thing this countdown needed was for the Top 5 to be infected by the annoying Jason Derulo. But with our #1 and #3 songs, I don't see it getting that much higher.

~ This is the second straight week Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud had the Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week. #SorryNotSorry

~ One Direction – Night Changes is getting really annoying now. I don't want to hate this song any more than I already do.

~ Magic! – No Way No and Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband made some little comebacks. I am indeed happy about it.

~ I was having an argument with one of my friends earlier. We were arguing what the most overplayed song of 2015 was. I said Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk but my friend said Taylor Swift – Blank Space. Then we kind of argued back and forth.

~ I can definitely see Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You hitting the Top 10 soon. I can remember back in March when I was jamming out to this song the day it was released saying that it better be a hit.

~ Nicki Minaj – The Night Is Still Young is on Hit-Bound. I want it on this countdown as soon as possible!

~ Cody Simpson – New Problems may sadly be leaving us soon. It was a sweet song while it lasted.

~ I can predict Twenty One Pilots – Tear In My Heart being a big hit. I, of course, don't want that.

~ Shoot me now. Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman is a Breakout Track on American Top 40. This song is definitely one of the most annoying songs of the year.

~ Sam Hunt – Take Your Time is most likely going to be a Top 10 song. Maybe even a Top 5 song.

~ In songs that are on the Hits 1 playlist but none of the weekend shows news, we have Flo Rida/Robin Thicke/Verdine White – I Don't Like It, I Love It. I guess you can say it's catchy. Robin Thicke has some nice vocals. And of course you have the usual Flo Rida "rapping".

~ Sometime next week, Adam Lambert's new album, The Original High, will be released. I have been anticipating this release since I first heard Ghost Town. I just love Adam Lambert. He's so.....he's so.........fabulous!!!

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this weekend is out! Will David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Afrojack, and Bebe Rexha hold the #1 spot for a second week in row?!?! You'll have to hang on to find out.

Walk The Moon (2) – Week Of June 6, 2015

Of course after 7 songs exiting last week, we are going to have a definitely smaller number of exits this week.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud (–13)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Taylor Swift – Bad Blood (+14)

New Entrants
~ Twenty One Pilots have returned to the countdown. In 2013, they had Holding On To You, which will probably always be their best. Especially after listening to their new album, Blurryface. I'm just gonna say that I wasn't a fan. Just like how I'm not a fan of the lead single, Tear In My Heart. The chorus is decent. But that's just about it. I don't see what people really like about this song. It may come around. But for now, it's something I will not want to listen to whenever it comes on Hits 1.

~ Ed Sheeran is back again (ugh....). Photograph is not as bad as Thinking Out Loud. I'll give it that. I personally think Don't was better. But I honestly don't know. It starts off slow, but then gets better as we go on. For now, I have no opinion on it.

Tear In My Blurbs
~ Taylor Swift – Bad Blood is at #3 on its third week on the countdown. It also had the Biggest Jump Of The Week for the second week in a row. I'm almost postive it will hit #1. I'm still upset it's not the Kendrick Lamar version which is more popular. But I guess I can live with it. Just get rid of Shut Up and Dance from the top please!

~ Andy Grammer – Honey I'm Good has officially (and finally) hit the Top 5 this week.

~ Meghan Trainor – Dear Future Husband pulled a Lips Are Movin' and is now decently catchy. Probably not for long though.

~ D. Guetta/N. Minaj/B. Rexha/Afrojack – Hey Mama has hit the Top 10!!! I'm so happy! Best thing to happen this weekend!

~ The second best thing that happened this week was Thinking Out Loud having the Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week down 13 spots!

~ Adam Lambert – Ghost Town is on Hit-Bound! Let's get it to countdown as soon as possible please!

~ The fact that Fall Out Boy – Centuries is still on the countdown is driving me insane! This song isn't popular anymore! I get that Hits 1 is in love with Fall Out Boy but this is ridiculous! Just leave already!

~ Goodbye Imagine Dragons – I Bet My Life! I will not miss you one bit!

~ Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk is finally moving down the countdown! Hopefully it'll leave soon. But I'm sure it'll just roam around the bottom half of the countdown for another few months or so.

WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO BRING YOU MUSIC NEWS!!!

~ In some music news, Enrique Iglesias recently sliced his fingers during a performance in Mexico after grabbing a drone. However, instead of cutting the performance off, Iglesias decided to continue the performance like a pro. He is currently undergoing surgery. We wish him the best of luck and to get better soon.

WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMS.

~ I have officially settled that as of right now, Fetty Wap – Trap Queen is the worst song of the 2015. I'm being for real right now. That song sucks ass! I literally cannot listen to it without wanting to shoot myself. It's that bad.

~ Hit 45 Chart is out this week! Find out if Taylor Swift/Kendrick Lamar – Bad Blood will hold #1 for a third week in a row.

So there is a tab titled "2015 Summer Soundtrack Polls" with a survey for you to vote for your favorite songs in each genre/category. So get voting! The date when voting will be closed is not yet determined. But I will tell you as soon as I come up with one.
