Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Shaggy/Mohombi/Faydee/Costi – I Need Your Love (–27)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: The Weeknd – Can't Feel My Face (+21)

New Entrants
~ The Heydaze – Dumb reminds me of Heymous Molly – Life's A Beach. With that being said, it's just as bad and just as annoying. It'll most likely just be another one of those songs Hits 1 keeps around for maybe a month and will then kick out.

~ Flo Rida is back with I Don't Like It, I Love It featuring Robin Thicke and Verdine White. I find this song to be very catchy and better than GDFR. I hope it stays here for a while. Robin Thicke has some nice vocals in the chorus.

~ Selena Gomez debuted this week with Good For You, a song that debuted at #1 on iTunes (I think). It's definitely a different sound for her. It's somewhat similar to her last countdown song, The Heart Wants What It Wants. I don't Selena Gomez's voice really shines as much in this song as it does in other songs. Hits 1 edited out A$AP Rocky's verse, which I'm fine with. I don't think it'll be very long until I get sick of this song.

I Don't Like Blurbs, I Love Them
~ Nicki Minaj – The Night Is Still Young should not be dropping on its second week on the countdown. Hits 1, I hope you realize how annoyed I am by this and FIX IT!

~ All Time Low – Something's Gotta Give has hit a new peak at #11. I'm very impressed by how well it's doing here considering it's not really popular anywhere else. Keep right on doing what you're doing!

~ Rachel Platten – Fight Song is now in the Top 10. I'm starting to lose interest in this song. Don't be surprised if I start complaining about it being old soon.

~ I'm sure people are sad about You Know You Like It most likely leaving next week, but I'm actually happy. I've overlistened to it at this point.

~ Pitbull/Chris Brown – Fun is slowly recovering from the little fall to #32 a few weeks ago now hitting a new peak at #21.

~ Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You has not moved from that little #11-#15 area in a while now. Let's get into the Top 10! I'd be happy to remove Want To Want Me and/or Uma Thurman from the Top 10 so you can enter.

~ Unlike Earned It, The Weeknd – Can't Feel My Face jumped into the Top 20 really quickly.

~ All songs in the Top 5 moved, but stayed in the Top 5.

~ MAX/Hoodie Allen – Gibberish and Demi Lovato – Cool For The Summer both entered Hit-Bound this week. I'm definitely happy about both of them. They're definitely two of the best songs on Hit-Bound.

~ Hopefully, Taylor Swift – Style can start dropping already. It's finally out of the Top 10. Hopefully for good.

~ For those of you who are unaware, I posted Part 2 of the 400K pageview milestone on Thursday - the Q&A post. Be sure to check it out if you haven't already. It is the previous post.

~ My Hit 45 Chart for this week will hopefully be out later today. If not, tomorrow.

~ I hope you guys have an awesome 4th of July! My family and I always watch fireworks on the night before the 4th of July. It's always fun every year. It's one of the traditions we have.

~ Since we were driving home so late last night, I got to listen to some of Pete Wentz's show on Hits 1, Hits & Misses. Pete Wentz plays some pretty interesting music including MAX/Hoodie Allen, Panic! At The Disco, Lolo, and of course, his own band, Fall Out Boy.
