Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud (–15)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Ed Sheeran – Photograph (+22)

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.
