Biggest Jump Of The Week: Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman (+30) (shoot me now....)

New Entrants
~ Long time Hit-Bound veteran MAX/Hoodie Allen – Gibberish entered this week. I have to say it's a really catchy song. But the "gibberish" that comes right after the chorus sometimes gets a little repetitive.

~ Next we have our other long time Hit-Bound veteran Adam Lambert – Ghost Town. I don't love this song now as much as I did when it first came out (back in April of this year). But it is still a good song. I hope to see some sort of success from this song.

Blurberish

~ Selena Gomez – Good For You is now officially annoying. Just when I thought it would leave, it makes a 20-spot leap.

~ Tori Kelly – Should've Been Us needs to jump into the Top 20. This song is definitely Tori Kelly's best song up-to-date.

~ Now that Tove Lo – Talking Body is finally out of the Top 10, it needs to start moving down more towards the bottom of the countdown.

~ The Weeknd – Can't Feel My Face is now in the Top 5. I still don't find this song any better than Earned It or even The Hills. The first verse is pretty good, but I think the beat just kills the song once it kicks in in that first chorus. That's just me though.

~ Something tells me that the end for The Heydaze – Dumb is coming. Please let it be next week.

~ I start school this Monday, so my blogging schedule will have to be altered a little bit. So my Hit 45 Chart posts may not always come out on Friday unfortunately.

~ Speaking of the Hit 45 Chart, this week's chart is out! Will Hey Mama be the #1 song for a tenth time overall?! You'll have to hang on to find out!

~ I was challenged to pick one emoji to describe how I feel about Shut Up and Dance hitting #1 yet again. So here is that one emoji.

~ Omi performed Cheerleader this past Wednesday on America's Got Talent. Let's just say it was bloody awful. He can't sing and I've seen only negative comments about his performance saying things like "the judges should've hit their buzzers" and "what a terrible way to kick off the show". I honestly couldn't agree more with these people. The YouTube video even has more dislikes than likes!!! I want you guys to watch this video that I'm about to put the link to down below and tell me what you think of it. Disregard your opinions on the song and just pay attention to the way he performs it. Clearly, this man here needs autotune.

~ Speaking of America's Got Talent, if you watched last season, you'd know Emily West, who was the runner-up to winner, Mat Franco (I still can't believe he won over her). Emily West did release her debut album yesterday. It's called, All For You. It features her covers of Sia – Chandelier and The Moody Blues – Nights In White Satin (both of which she performed while on AGT during the competition) as well as her debut single, Bitter. I suggest you just take a look at this album. Emily West is a phenomenal singer and I love how she immediately signed a record deal after the show and released this album.
