Walk The Moon (11) – Week Of September 26, 2015

This past week was Homecoming week for me and the Homecoming Dance was last night. I did attend and I did have a lot of fun. I spent just about the entire night on the dancefloor. The DJ there had a pretty good playlist. Please note that a few songs on this countdown that were old/bad last week grew back on me because of last night.

New Entrants

~ The new Echosmith song, Let's Love, is, in my opinion, bland and uninteresting. It's mediocre at best. That's all I have to say about it.

~ The Hills is the kind of song I like to hear from The Weeknd, a darker kind of song. I think it's really catchy and I would love to see it go far on this countdown.

~ Nico & Vinz are back with That's How You Know. Hits 1 edited out Kid Ink, which I find to be really obnoxious. But that song overall is pretty catchy. I think Nico & Vinz's other two songs, Am I Wrong and In Your Arms, were better. But that's just my opinion.

~ "But my heart don't understand why I got you on my mind!" Ellie Goulding's new single, On My Mind, is hella catchy and I can definitely see it going far on this countdown. I think Love Me Like You Do was better, but I still love On My Mind.

My Heart Don't Understand Why I Got Blurbs On My Mind

~ Jason Derulo – Cheyenne took a Zedd/Jon Bellion – Beautiful Now path leaving the countdown after only three weeks.

~ Shawn Mendes – Stitches has gotten higher than I think the majority of us had expected. Of course, this is a good thing. Maybe we can have a new #1 song within the next few weeks. It would be nice.

~ Stitches hitting #1 is unfortunately not a guarantee as Taylor Swift – Wildest Dreams rose to #3. It's pretty obvious it'll spend at least one week at #1. But then again, we're not 100% sure.

~ Little Mix – Black Magic is now in the Top 10. Nice to see we're getting some fresh new songs in our Top 10 and getting rid of songs like Talking Body.

~ With Selena Gomez – Good For You falling to #45, hopefully it'll be on its way out next week. But I love how it's #45 here and #1 on American Top 40.

~ Phoebe Ryan – Mine shouldn't be dropping. It's definitely one of the better songs on this countdown so I would appreciate if songs like Uma Thurman would drop instead of this one.

~ Dimitri Vegas/Like Mike/Ummet Ozcan – The Hum is still airing throughout the week but not debuting on any weekend shows. I'm losing hope on it debuting anywhere on Hits 1. That's sad because it's a really catchy song.

~ Damn. Adam Lambert – Ghost Town at #12? Thank you voters for voting this awesome song up. :)
