New Entrants

~ Since we got a re-entry from Los 5 – Manana, that means we have 5 new entrants this week.

~ Hailee Steinfeld – Love Myself is a song that I don't enjoy now as much as I did when I first listened to it due to me kind of overlistening to it within the past two weeks. But it's still a relatively good song.

~ Last we heard from Little Mix on this countdown was Wings from 2013. I don't know if Black Magic reaches the height of Wings. But aside from that, it's a good song. It's pretty catchy if you ask me.

~ I'm not necessarily happy about Wildest Dreams debuting mainly because Blank Space was forced to leave. Now on to the song. It's catchy right now. Taylor Swift is a really good singer in my opinion. But this song doesn't wow me as much as her other songs. It's good. Don't get me wrong. But I'm just not feeling it the way I felt some of her other songs. Like, this song could be better.

~ YouTube15 veteran, R. City/Adam Levine – Locked Away debuted this week. Overall, really catchy song. Adam Levine was a good choice for the chorus. I'm definitely a fan of this song.

~ Best for last, we have Zedd/Jon Bellion – Beautiful Now. Jon Bellion's vocals are just on point in this song. Every part of this song was done exceptionally well. I've been enjoying Zedd's album, True Colors, and this one is definitely one of my personal favorites.

Hit-Bound

~ Here is the Hit-Bound song list.

• Alessia Cara – Here
• Carly Rae Jepsen – Run Away With Me
• Maroon 5 – Feelings
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Downtown
• Nick Jonas – Levels
• Echosmith – Let's Love
• A Great Big World – Hold Each Other
• Icona Pop – Emergency
• Justin Bieber – What Do You Mean?
• Meghan Trainor/John Legend – Like I'm Gonna Lose You
• Robin Thicke/Nicki Minaj – Back Together
• Nico & Vinz/Bebe Rexha – That's How You Know
• Andy Grammer – Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah)
• X Ambassadors – Renegades
• Shy Carter – Bring It Back

~ So Jason Derulo – Cheyenne left Hit-Bound? This is not necessarily okay.

~ In terms of songs that won't debut the countdown, we have Icona Pop – Emergency still here.

Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks

1. X Ambassadors – Renegades

2. Justin Bieber – What Do You Mean?

3. Robin Thicke/Nicki Minaj – Back Together

4. A Great Big World – Hold Each Other

5. Nick Jonas – Levels

We're Blurbiful Now

~ American Authors – Go Big Or Go Home may be soon on its way out.

~ I really don't think I'm happy about MKTO – Bad Girls having the Biggest Jump Of The Week.

~ Charlie Puth/Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye is now in the Top 10. This song has gone farther than we all thought it would.

~ The fact that Taylor Swift – Style is still in the Top 5 is seriously not okay. It's absolutely ridiculous. Just leave already!!! Same applies for Want To Want Me.

~ Week after week, I continue to lose interest in Daya – Hide Away. Don't be surprised if it's red within the next few weeks.

~ Tove Lo – Talking Body back in the Top 10? Like wtf Hits 1?!

~ Now that Omi – Cheerleader is in the Bottom 5, hopefully it'll leave soon.

~ I'm actually sad that Taylor Swift – Blank Space left. I still really like that song for whatever reason. It's hands-down Taylor Swift's best song. I just can't get sick of it. Goodbye Blank Space. While just about everyone finds you old and annoying, I still enjoy listening to you. May you rest in peace at SiriusXM Hits 1 Weekend Countdown cemetery.

~ Dimitri Vegas/Like Mike/Ummet Ozcan – The Hum is in the Hits 1 playlist but not Hit-Bound. I am enjoying this song however. It's like hardcore EDM that I didn't think Hits 1 would ever play.

~ As usual, the Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Will One Direction – Drag Me Down hold at #1 for a second week in a row? You'll have to click to find out.

~ Demi Lovato – Cool For The Summer is now at #2 and.......wait a second.... Did I read that right?........Cool For The Summer..............at #2?!




















OH MY GOSH PLEASE HIT #1 AND END THIS TERRIBLE REIGN FOR SHUT UP AND DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

~ Goodbye David Guetta/Nicki Minaj/Afrojack – Hey Mama. You may be old to a lot of people. But to me, you're still young and fresh! You will definitely be missed.

~ The MTV Video Music Awards are on tomorrow night. The fact that Miley Cyrus is hosting makes me want to just not watch it. But I'm going to anyways. Depending on how the night goes, I may or may not do a review for it. But there's an 80% chance I won't due to school and also having to work on a 500,000 pageview milestone. That may not come anytime soon, so just bear with me.

~ Best Song On YouTube15 AND Recommendation For The Countdown: JoJo – Save My Soul (This song is incredible! You NEED to listen to it!)

~ Throwback Pick Of The Week: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Wanz – Thrift Shop
