Walk The Moon – Year Of 2015

So Hits 1 counted down their Top 45 songs of 2015 just earlier today. I guess these results were based on the opinions of the Wutchuwant Crew. Some of these results don't seem accurate enough to have been based on airplay. So I'll just go ahead and say that this was not the best year-end countdown ever. Let's just get to it right now.

*Song Is Still Charting

Shut Up and Blurb With Me!
~ I'm very fascinated by the fact that Taylor Swift – Style has been ranked higher than Blank Space. I don't understand!!! You're seriously ranking a one-week #1 song higher than a six-week #1 song?!?! Why?!?!?!?!?!

~ Speaking of Taylor Swift, she has 5 songs on here. 5 songs out of 45 total are Taylor Swift.

~ Going back to Blank Space, the song spent quite a while in the Top 10 and the Top 5. I'm also shocked it was ranked lower than Honey I'm Good, which fell down the countdown relatively quickly after that one week at #1, spending very few weeks in the Top 10, especially the Top 5.

~ Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman and Jason Derulo – Want To Want Me never hit #1, but somehow made it into the Top 10.

~ Vance Joy – Riptide is the only song in this list that never hit the Top 10.

~ Wiz Khalifa/Charlie Puth – See You Again really seemed like a song I was sure would be a Top 10 contender for this list. I guess I was incorrect.

~ Quite a few songs peaked at #4 this year.

~ Twenty One Pilots – Tear In My Heart and Sheppard – Geronimo were definitely ranked way too high. It was their obnoxiously long tenures that brought them this high. However, Tear In My Heart was in the #9 to #11 range for seemingly forever while Geronimo rarely spent much time that high, but somehow got ranked higher than Tear In My Heart in this list.

~ Taylor Swift – Shake It Off is the only song on this list that was ranked in last year's Top 45 of the year.

~ I'm kind of surprised Renegades made it on this list. It seemed a little too new. But am I happy about it making it on? Hell yeah!

~ David Guetta/Nicki Minaj/Afrojack – Hey Mama was ranked way too low in my opinion.

~ Of course, the annoying Olly Murs/Travie McCoy – Wrapped Up made it on this list.

~ I feel like One Direction – Night Changes should've been ranked just a little lower.

~ There were some songs like Flo Rida/Sage The Gemini/Lookas – GDFR, Charlie Puth/Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye, Omi – Cheerleader, and Nick Jonas – Chains that surprisingly did not make this list.

~ Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars – Uptown Funk had a typical #1 song tenure on this countdown not staying way too long, and apparently was qualified for the #2 spot of the year. At least it's not #1.

~ Am I happy about the #1 song? No. But did I expect it? Yes, I did. The song is still in the Top 10 and tied the record for most weeks at #1 with the #37 song on this list. I definitely saw this coming and I'm not surprised, but I'm definitely not happy.
