DNCE (3) – Week Of May 7, 2016

So........I finish school in a few weeks. I honestly can't believe I'm not that far away from becoming a senior in high school. Everyone was right. Four years really do fly by. Hopefully as summertime comes along, I'll have more time to spend on this blog and stuff. That's what I need right now. I'm pretty behind on some things. But I'll find a way to catch up. No songs leaving the countdown this week. So let's get right to it.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: G-Eazy/Bebe Rexha – Me, Myself, & I (–22)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Demi Lovato – Confident (+20)

Make Me Like Blurbs
~ I'm not even going to comment on the ridiculous jump from Demi Lovato – Confident back into the Top 10.

~ We had two very upsetting drops this week, the first from Ellie Goulding. I still think Something In The Way You Move is a really catchy song. It may be a long time until I get sick of it, if I ever do. I would like it to stay longer and have the inferior On My Mind exit soon. Me, Myself, & I from G-Eazy was very under-appreciated and underrated by Hits 1 as it has dropped to the bottom of the countdown. I doubt it'll make a rebound, but it'd be nice if it did.

~ We really don't need anymore mediocrity in the form of Meghan Trainor – No at #1. We still have the same good four songs behind it.

~ Charlie Puth – One Call Away made a little bit of an obnoxious jump back into the Top 20. This song is so boring. I see nothing interesting in it whatsoever. :/

~ I'm perfectly fine with Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman dropping. In fact, let it drop some more. That'd be 100% okay with me!

~ Coldplay – Adventure Of A Lifetime continues to hold on for dear life. I still enjoy this song. I still don't care when it leaves. But I'm just going to say that we have worse songs to get rid of first.

~ Selena Gomez – Same Old Love seriously needs to leave. This song has been way too overplayed and is just plain out bad. It's worse than Good For You, and that one was actually pretty bad after a while. We're probably never going to get anything from her that reaches the height of Love You Like A Love Song.

~ We The Kings – The Story Of Tonight was destined to drop after a short amount of time.

~ Zayn Malik – Pillowtalk took a pretty quick drop out of the Top 10. Perfectly fine by me considering that I am sick of this song at this point.

~ Am I happy that One Direction – History dropped a little bit? Yes. This song has lost all popularity everywhere else. Am I happy that Perfect jumped because of the drop? No. I would've rather kept History. But honestly, three One Direction songs on the countdown is pretty ridiculous since at the very least, two of them should be gone by now.

~ I'm still waiting for Hits 1 to get rid of Rihanna/Drake – Work. This song isn't getting any less annoying. In fact, the longer it stays, the more obnoxious it gets, which is probably why it's the worst song on the countdown.

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Find out if P!nk can hold at #1 for a second week in a row with Just Like Fire!
