Adele (8) – Week Of January 2, 2016

Hey guys! I hope all of you had a happy New Year! For the next two months, I'll be forgetting that it's 2016 and accidentally put 2015 in the title. So that might happen a few times. No songs leaving the countdown this week, which really isn't surprising since there are never any new entrants on the first week of the year.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Taylor Swift – Blank Space

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Taylor Swift – Wildest Dreams (–17)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: One Direction – Drag Me Down (+18)

Blurbed Out
~ Justin Bieber – Sorry seriously needs to get back into the Top 10. That song is way too good to not be there. Let's go, voters!

~ One Direction – Drag Me Down made a big jump back into the teens this week. Let's keep this song a little lower on the countdown because I really don't want to end up hating it.

~ Walk The Moon – Shut Up and Dance is still in the Top 10......

~ Selena Gomez – Same Old Love in the Top 10 isn't necessarily okay. I'm really tired of that song. Let's please get it off the countdown.

~ However, The Weeknd – In The Night is definitely welcomed into the Top 10. I definitely see some success coming out of it.

~ Alessia Cara – Here needs to leave the countdown NOW!!!

~ Gwen Stefani – Used To Love You is seriously not getting anywhere on this countdown. How about we move this song up and move the crappy Wildest Dreams down.

~ Andy Grammer – Good To Be Alive needs to leave. It's been staying in the same area on the countdown for a while now, but I continuously hear it on the radio and it has become super annoying.

~ I don't see how Adele – When We Were Young is something you would want to hear on the radio. It's way too slow, emotional, and boring. But this is all my opinion. If you like songs like these on the radio, I won't judge you for it. The only people I'll judge are those who think Iggy Azalea is better than Nicki Minaj. :P

~ Conrad Sewell – Hold Me Up is still on Hit-Bound despite its departure from American Top 40 at least a month ago. The song is still pretty good, so I don't have a problem with it. I'm just saying. The same thing happened with Robin Thicke/Nicki Minaj – Back Together earlier in 2015.

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is currently being worked on. I'll inform you in the comment section when it is complete.

~ Best Song On YouTube15: Tie Between Justin Bieber – Love Yourself and Steve Aoki/Walk Off The Earth – Home We'll Go (Take Me Hand)

~ Most Missed Song: Jason Derulo – Whatcha Say

~ Song I'm Just Now Starting To Enjoy: Jidenna/Roman GianArthur – Classic Man

My Top 5 Picks
1. Justin Bieber – Sorry
2. Fall Out Boy/Demi Lovato – Irresistible
3. Twenty One Pilots – Stressed Out
4. Panic! At The Disco – Victorious
5. The Weeknd – In The Night
