Twenty One Pilots (4) – Week Of April 23, 2016

Hey guys! I'm happy to say that we did get rid of one huge piece of trash this week. The other exit was pretty unfortunate. It's also nice to have Cake By The Ocean not at #1 this week. However, the Top 5 isn't looking so hot. Maybe next week we can get some better songs in there. In other news, this post is posted a couple of days later than usual. More on that in the blurbs section. Before we get to this week's Fresh 45, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

New Entrants
~ Gwen Stefani is back once again. Baby Don't Lie and Used To Love You were both flops on this countdown, which is why I'm not so sure about how Make Me Like You will do. I do think this song sounds a lot different than Used To Love You and others like Hollaback Girl as Make Me Like You is a downright pop song. It's pretty damn catchy, so I do give it that. Gwen Stefani has one of those voices where if it's not used "correctly", it can sound annoying. Used To Love You had some parts where her voice was annoying. But I think she uses her voice very nicely in Make Me Like You. Overall, I do like this song.

~ Mike Posner is back! Hopefully, we all remember that extremely catchy debut single of his from 2010, Cooler Than Me. If not, shame on you because that song was amazing (just kidding lol). Seriously though, that song was really good. He's back with I Took A Pill In Ibiza, a song that's pretty much about drugs. I feel like the music video is a good representation of the song's meaning. So go ahead and watch that if you want to get deeper into this song and its meaning. It is catchy. I really like Mike Posner's voice. I've liked it ever since Cooler Than Me. Overall, it is really good and I do want to see this song do well on the countdown.

I Wrote A Blurb In Ibiza
~ In terms of songs that should never ever again do what they did this week, Selena Gomez – Hands To Myself has hit a new peak at #3. Honestly, can we not with this song?

~ It didn't take long for me to grow out of Fifth Harmony – Work From Home, Meghan Trainor – No, and Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman. I'm just starting to realize that all of these songs are missing something to help make them catchy songs.

~ Hopefully this is the end of Dawin – Dessert. Talk about annoying.

~ If you are a fan of Lukas Graham, please do not judge me as I just realized that they are a band as opposed to a solo artist. Anyway, 7 Years is now in the Top 10. I'm starting to really appreciate this song for the sweet song it is.

~ Taylor Swift – Out Of The Woods made quite a massive jump up to #24 this week. I still kind of like this song, so I'm not necessarily angry by this jump. This song was able to stick with me for a little while longer than songs like Wildest Dreams and Style.

~ Tryon – Somebody To Love Me and We The Kings – The Story Of Tonight are just a couple of those songs that make it on to Hits 1 and Hits 1 only. They seem to not be going anywhere, which is why I don't think they'll last much longer.

~ Speaking of songs that debut on Hits 1 only, Shawn Hook – Sound Of Your Heart fell in that trap exiting the countdown after only three weeks. It sucks because I actually liked that song quite a bit.

~ Grace – You Don't Own Me is really lacking some success on this countdown. I do like this song, so I would like to see it jump a little more.

~ P!nk – Just Like Fire debuted Hit-Bound this week. Let's just say that right off the bat, it is the new best song on Hit-Bound. That is all I will say about it. ;)

~ Jason Derulo – Get Ugly has been hanging on in the Bottom 5 for quite a while now. We have a ton of good songs on Hit-Bound that should definitely be in place of this song. So I would appreciate if we could make that happen.

~ Coldplay – Adventure Of A Lifetime is also hanging on for dear life. As Coldplay is still my favorite band of all time, I do still enjoy this song a ton. Although it'll probably leave in a couple of weeks, I don't mind it staying for as long as it likes.

~ Although I'm getting pretty tired of Twenty One Pilots – Stressed Out, I'll take it over Cake By The Ocean any week.

~ Next weekend is in fact my birthday weekend. My birthday is next Monday. I'm hoping we can have a good countdown week next week which includes getting rid of some of the trash on this countdown and replacing with some of the many good songs on Hit-Bound.

~ So the reason my post wasn't out on Saturday was because on Saturday night, I had my junior prom. Saturday was entirely preparation for the dance and then Sunday was the day where I did all my work for school. Monday was just a typical busy Monday. But aside from that, the dance was really fun! Here are the songs I remember them playing:

• Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman
• DJ Snake/Bipolar Sunshine – Middle
• DJ Snake/Lil Jon – Turn Down For What
• Drake/Future – Jumpman
• Fergie/Q-Tip/GoonRock – A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)
• Fetty Wap – Trap Queen
• Fetty Wap/Remy Boyz – 679
• Fifth Harmony/Ty Dolla $ign – Work From Home
• Flo Rida – Good Feeling
• Flo Rida – My House
• Flo Rida/T-Pain – Low
• Flo Rida/Sage The Gemini/Lookas – GDFR (Yes, they played a ton of Flo Rida.)
• Iggy Azalea – Work
• Jason Derulo/2 Chainz – Talk Dirty
• Jay-Z/Kanye West – Ni**as In Paris
• Justin Bieber – Sorry
• Ke$ha – TiK ToK
• LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem
• Lukas Graham – 7 Years
• Meghan Trainor/John Legend – Like I'm Gonna Lose You
• Mike Posner/SeeB – I Took A Pill In Ibiza
• Pitbull/TJR – Don't Stop The Party
• Rihanna/Drake – Work
• Silento – Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)
• Skrillex/Sirah – Bangarang
• Steve Aoki/Chris Lake/Tujamo – Boneless
• Taylor Swift – Shake It Off
• The Chainsmokers/Daya – Don't Let Me Down
• The Chainsmokers/Rozes – Roses
• Walk The Moon – Shut Up and Dance
• Wiz Khalifa/Charlie Puth – See You Again
• + more that I didn't know

I honestly did have a blast. If you're in school and you have dances like homecoming, prom, etc., I recommend you go to them. They're so fun. But yeah. That's why this post is posted a couple of days later than normal. We should be back on our normal schedule starting next week.
