Walk The Moon (4) – Week Of July 11, 2015

How many weeks has it been now where we've had at most 3 exits/entrants? It all started after that week we had 7 exits/entrants like a month ago. At least 2 out of our 3 exits deserved to go. But if you ask me, this week really wasn't that special nor was it that good. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.

• Ella Henderson – Ghost (#34) [x2]

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun (–20)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Nicki Minaj – The Night Is Still Young (+11)

New Entrants
~ The Mowgli's are back with their second okay/mediocre song, I'm Good. Honestly, there's nothing special to this song whatsoever. I definitely think there were better songs on Hit-Bound that should've debuted instead. But it's not horrible. I'll live with it for now.

~ American Authors are also back with their new single, Go Big Or Go Home. Their last appearance on the countdown was early last year with their smash hit, Best Day Of My Life. Like I'm Good, there is nothing special to this song. Again, I think they are better songs on Hit-Bound that should've debuted instead of this. But I'll live with it for now. (So basically I'm Good and Go Big Or Go Home have the same exact review.)

~ Finally we have returning artist Demi Lovato after having one of the summer songs of last year, Really Don't Care. I have to say, I'm really liking her new single, Cool For The Summer. It's obviously not her best song vocally. I personally think the first single from her album, Demi, and the 2013 hit, Heart Attack is her hands-down best song. Cool For The Summer doesn't quite reach that height unfortunately. But it's still a really enjoyable song that could go high on this countdown.

Hit-Bound
~ I don't understand why there is so much hate for Kaya Stewart – In Love With A Boy. I think that song is really catchy. It just debuted on American Top 40 this week just so you know.

~ Hits 1 finally realized Daya's song is Hide Away, not Hideaway.

~ Shawn Mendes – Stitches debuted on AT40 this week. Let's try to get it to the Weekend Countdown soon.

~ Here is the Hit-Bound list:

• Daya – Hide Away
• MKTO – Bad Girls
• Adam Lambert – Ghost Town
• Shawn Mendes – Stitches
• Tori Kelly – Should've Been Us (DEBUT)
• Deorro/Chris Brown – Five More Hours (DEBUT)
• Kaya Stewart – In Love With A Boy
• Los 5 – Manana
• Icona Pop – Emergency (DEBUT)
• Sam Smith – Like I Can
• Becky G – Lovin' So Hard
• Zedd/Jon Bellion – Beautiful Now (DEBUT)
• MAX/Hoodie Allen – Gibberish
• Just Seconds Apart – Unbelievable
• Fort Minor – Welcome (DEBUT)

Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks

1. Fort Minor – Welcome

2. Zedd/Jon Bellion – Beautiful Now

3. Adam Lambert – Ghost Town

4. Sam Smith – Like I Can

5. Deorro/Chris Brown – Five More Hours

Blurb Big Or Blurb Home

~ The recovery from Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun clearly did not last very long.

~ I really can't see Ed Sheeran – Photograph as a #1 song, but since Ed Sheeran is now an extremely overrated artist, it will probably be our #1 song at some point.

~ Selena Gomez – Good For You fell to #30 on its second week on the countdown. Not a very a good way to start a countdown career.

~ DJ Snake/AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It just became really annoying this week. So I would appreciate if it left the countdown soon.

~ Let's take a minute to honor Marlon Roudette – When The Beat Drops Out for being a very catchy song that lasted longer than we thought it would last. Thank you for your time.

~ Adam Lambert – Ghost Town needs to debut already! I see so many people on Twitter voting for this song, but it barely gets any airplay during the week.

~ So there's was a story this week that Ariana Grande was apparently licking donuts at some donuts shop. Now she's apologizing, but so many people are saying that she's only sorry for getting caught and she's not sorry for what she actually did. I don't really know the whole story, but it's all over my Facebook news feed. So I thought it was something to share.

~ Think back a few months ago to when the whole world was debating the color of "The Dress". Well part two is here and it's called "The Shoe". Basically these people had this shoe and couldn't figure out which nail polish matches the color of the shoe. There's a purple and pink nail polish (see pic below).

I personally think the pink nail polish matches the shoe. But honestly, like the dress, it has something to do with your perception of color that makes half the world see it differently than the other half. Which nail polish do you think matches the shoe? Let me know in the comments down below.

~ To wrap it all up, I have one special thing to say. We had a very special birthday earlier this week. I'll give you a minute to think about who it might be.

Alright, so this past Wednesday was the birthday of our very own Weekend Countdown host (and my favorite radio DJ), Spyder Harrison! I don't know if he's reading this or not. But if he is, Happy (Belated) Birthday!!! We definitely hope you had a fantastic day! Let's now all wish him a happy birthday in the comments section below even though we're a few days late. But hey, better late than never! :) #HappyBirthdaySpyder
