Mike Posner (2) – Week Of July 23, 2016

Six years ago today on The X Factor, judge Simon Cowell took five guys who auditioned as solo artists, but failed to progress to the "Boys" category, and put them together in a group, qualifying them for the "Groups" category, who soon named themselves One Direction. They began in 2010 and starting in 2011, they have had consistent album releases, one each year. In that time, they have become pretty much the biggest boyband out there. Their music has been great over the years and I thought I'd just bring up that today is their 6-year anniversary as a group. Although they are currently in their hiatus, it's still something worth recognizing. So congrats Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles. Before we get to this week's Fresh 45, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Drake/WizKid/Kyla – One Dance (+13)

New Entrants
~ 5 Seconds Of Summer are back not long after the departure of the amazing Jet Black Heart, which is probably one of best songs of the year. They bring Girls Talk Boys, which is from the new Ghostbusters soundtrack. Just a side note, the movie does not look good. Even though I love Melissa McCarthy, I'm not feeling the movie. But that's just from watching the trailer. Anyway, on to the song. I said this last week and I'll say it again. It feels like one of their weaker singles, if not their weakest single. I am one who usually compares new songs to the artist's previous work even though that's not the ideal thing to do. But let's be honest here, this song lacks the energy brought by songs like She Looks So Perfect, She's Kinda Hot, and of course Jet Black Heart. However, I do like the vocals on this track and I like the chorus as well despite the lazy instrumentals. But the overall song itself is nothing to excited over. I know 5 Seconds of Summer are capable of more than this. I am somewhat disappointed because I was expecting myself to really like this song. But it just feels like a song that would make a really good filler track on an album. You know, those tracks that most people don't really care for because they're not radio singles. That's how I feel about this song. With that being said, it's certainly not a bad song. But it is rather weak and lazy on the instrumentation and production. I can't really see myself getting into this song, so this may just be one of those songs that stays in blue all throughout its tenure. But who knows? My opinion could magically change. But for now, I'm not as impressed as I wanted to be. I had high standards and this song did not meet those standards unfortunately.


Hit-Bound
~ Here is the Hit-Bound list:


  • Katy Perry – Rise
  • Jordan Fisher – All About Us
  • Coldplay/BeyoncΓ© – Hymn For The Weekend
  • Magic! – Red Dress
  • Ben Rector – Brand New
  • Demi Lovato – Body Say
  • Bebe Rexha/Nicki Minaj – No Broken Hearts
  • Jacob Whitesides – Lovesick
  • The Strumbellas – Spirits
  • Flo Rida/Jason Derulo – Hello Friday
  • Troye Sivan/Alessia Cara – Wild
  • Alesso/Nico & Vinz – I Wanna Know
  • AJR – I'm Not Famous
  • Steve Aoki & Boehm/Walk The Moon – Back 2 U

Collaborative DJ's Steve Aoki and Boehm have debuted this week featuring Walk The Moon with the track, Back 2 U. It's a certainly a catchy song and Steve Aoki is actually a pretty good producer himself. His last countdown appearance was A Light That Never Comes by Linkin Park, which I personally loved. This song isn't necessarily incredible, but when it comes to grabbing my attention, this song gets the job done.

Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. Coldplay – Hymn For The Weekend
2. Troye Sivan/Alessia Cara – Wild
3. Demi Lovato – Body Say
4. Alesso/Nico & Vinz – I Wanna Know
5. Steve Aoki & Boehm/Walk The Moon – Back 2 U


When The Girls Talk Blurbs
~ I'd like to start off by saying that Kent Jones – Don't Mind is most certainly not Top 20-worthy. The delusional voters who are doing this need to cut it out. Like now.

~ There are a few songs that kind of grew on me. The most notable ones being One Direction – History and Calvin Harris/Rihanna – This Is What You Came For. Both songs I actually kind of enjoyed listening to recently, but I can't see either of them lasting in green for much longer. Those who like these songs should take advantage of the fact that they're green and enjoy it while it lasts.

~ I'm honestly surprised that I still enjoy Taylor Swift – New Romantics, but at the same time I'm not. Taylor Swift songs tend to get old at this point. But due to this song not being available on Apple Music for a long period of time, I never really listened to it. So I couldn't really get sick of it. Now I just still find it really catchy.

~ I really hope Lukas Graham – Mama Said does not jump that much higher. I just can't stand the little kids and just the whole song. It is most certainly not better than 7 Years, so I'm hoping this song can flop.

~ Meghan Trainor – No needs to eventually make its way out of here. I don't know what I was thinking when I liked this song and I'll probably feel the same way about Me Too in maybe a month or two. I cannot stand that chorus anymore. It's become completely pointless in my eyes. "My name is no. My sign is no. My number is no." I now completely understand why ARTV Review gave this song a negative review. The lyrical content is dumb.

~ OneRepublic – Wherever I Go did not last very long at its peak. Oh well. At least I can still say it peaked in to the Top 10.

~ Symon – Say holding its spot at #29 hopefully means it won't jump very high. I still find this song to be really annoying.

~ Our Biggest Jump and DROP!!!... of the Week both moved the same number of spots. Although not the first time, it's still a rare occasion.

~ I was very sure Cheap Thrills was going to be our next #1 song. But honestly, I don't mind our #1 song one bit. Mike Posner – I Took A Pill In Ibiza is still my favorite song on the countdown and it can spend as much time at #1 as it wants to.

~ There are only like 19 good songs on this countdown out of 45. Not even half. I guess you can call me the rude, but honest judge when it comes to this countdown. My reviews aren't always nice, but they are certainly honest.

~ In One Direction news, I'm sure we were all aware when Harry Styles signed a solo record deal recently. Well even more recently, Liam Payne has also signed a solo record deal. It's currently questionable whether or not One Direction will ever resume or if this is the end. It's possible that they're just doing things solo during their hiatus and will rejoin the group when the hiatus ends. But I don't know honestly. Louis Tomlinson also has some solo projects, one of which was being a guest judge on the latest episode of America's Got Talent, alongside the man that started it all for them, Simon Cowell. I'm just going to say that if One Direction does break up, Louis should consider being a regular judge on America's Got Talent because he did a really good job guest judging. But anyway, I'm not going to join the club that says this is the end of One Direction because its possible these solo projects are just for them to work on during their break. That's just how I view the whole situation.

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Find out if Sia can hold at #1 for a second week in a row with Cheap Thrills!

  1. I expected Girls Talk Boys to debut, but I didn't expect it to enter any higher than #30! I just view this song as nothing more than a filler song.

    I guess it was only a matte of time 'til If It Ain't Love to left, but I still like it.

    I really want Rise to debut soon. Its currently in my top 10 this week, and I want it to debut quick.

    I guess me, Parker and a couple other people are fine with Don't Mind Jumping.

    Why is Victorious jumping again? I just got rid of that song from my top 50 list, it should be gone.

    I was expecting One Dance to flop outright. Not only is this song old, but its not even good either. The tropical beat that is put on repeat through 3/4 of the song, not to mention the auto-tune on Drake that makes him sound so dull and boring makes this even worse. It should not be in the top 20.

    I do not need Mama Said to enter the top 20, we have enough shit as it is.

    It still amazes me how Work, and Me, Myself, & I are still here.

    This countdown was boring. Not much really happened this week.

    Top 5:
    1. Just Like Fire
    2. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
    3. Cheap Thrills
    4. Can't Stop The Feeling

  2. [CHORUS:]
    Informer

    A licky boom-boom down
    'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane
    A licky boom-boom down
    Informer
    You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame
    A licky boom-boom down
    'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane
    A licky boom-boom down

    Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door
    One him come crawl through through my window
    So they put me in the back of the car at the station
    From that point on I reach my destination
    Now the destination reached was the East Detention
    Where they whipped down my pants and looked up my bottom

    [CHORUS]

    The bigger they are they think they have more power
    They're on the phone me say that on hour
    Me for want to use it once to call my lover
    Lover who I'm gonna call is the one Tammy
    I love her from my heart down to my belly
    Yes Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest daddy
    The one MC Shan and the one that is Snow
    Together we are like a tornado

    [CHORUS]

    Listen for me ya better listen for me now
    Listen for me ya better listen for me now
    When I rock the microphone, I rock it steady
    Yes sir Daddy Snow me are the Article Don
    When I'm at a dance they say, "Where you come from?"
    People then say I come from Jamaica
    But I'm born and raised in the ghetto
    That's all I want you to know
    Pure black people man that's all I man know
    My shoes used to tear up and my toes used to show
    Where I'm born is the one Toronto, so

    [CHORUS]

    Come with a nice young lady
    Intelligent, yes she's gentle and irie
    Everywhere I go I've never left here at all
    Yes, me Snow roam the dance
    Roam the dance in every nation
    You'd never know, me Daddy Snow
    I am the Boom Shakata
    I'll never lay down flat in one cardboard box
    Yes, me Daddy Snow I'm gonna reach to the top, so

    [CHORUS]

    Why would he? [repeat]

    [MC Shan:]
    Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl
    Police knock my door, lick up my pal
    Rough me up and I can't do a thing
    Pick up my line when my telephone ring
    Take me to the station, black up my hands
    Trail me down 'cause I'm hanging with the Snowman
    What am I gonna do, I'm black and I'm trapped
    Smack me in my face, took all of my gap
    They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
    But Shan won't turn informer

    [CHORUS]

  6. It legit irritates me that Back 2 U debuted on Hit-Bound before All In My Head (Flex) by Fifth Harmony ft. Fetty Wap and Into You by Ariana Grande! There is no reason for these songs to not be on Hits 1! Hits 1 is literally driving me insane lately.

    2. If they do get All In My Head (Flex) on Hits 1, I would think they might cut Fetty Wap out of it like they did Ty Dolla $ign in Work From Home. But I would hope not!

      Delete
    3. Add Rihanna - Needed Me and Zayn - Like I Would to the list.

      Delete
    4. I've been hearing the former on Venus, but not the latter. That one would feel overdue to enter like Wild Things was.

      Delete
    5. Same with All In My Head, Into You, and Like I Would. All In My Head is currently #13 on the radio charts, Into You is somewhere near the top 20, and Like I Would is also really popular right now, but it is currently dropping on the radio charts. So it's actually unlikely that it'll make Hits 1's playlist in the future.

    6. I heard All in My Head 5 times in California plus once driving to the airport, so 6 times I have heard it. I heard One Dance 7 times.

    1. For me:
      Sucker For Pain- It's an awesome song with an amazing chorus (10/10)
      Champions- It's a really catchy song and all the artists did a great job (10/10)
      Ruin- It's a disappointment compared to Treat You Better (3/10)
      Cold Water- This is my jam!! (11/10)
      Sex- It's pretty catchy if you ask me, but the lyrical content I find weird (9/10)
      Controlla- Probably the best song off of Views (10/10)
      Talk- I love it and it's catchy, but it's easy to get sick of George Maple's vocals (8.5/10)

  12. "I don't know what I was thinking when I liked this song and I'll probably feel the same way about Me Too in maybe a month or two"

    You developed some taste Good job. Everyone gave negative reviews of these songs. Both of Trainor's songs are bound to top many worst-of-2016 lists.

    1. ^ Seconded. I thought No was kinda cool at first, but eventually realized just how underwritten it was and that the production isn't even that good. More importantly, the darker taste Meghan Trainor took with that song was not appealing after her first hits from 2014 and 2015 (though No is NOT as bad as Dear Future Husband, or god help you, Marvin Gaye, both of which were on several worst of 2015 lists). Me Too blew from day one, though.

    3. I really don't see what all the fuss is about. I mean yeah, the writing in the chorus is silly, and the darker tone of the song is different, but I think its an improvement from her last 3 songs she was on back in 2015.

  15. So, bad news: Ariana Grande was invited to perform at the DNC, which is at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, but she had to decline due to a scheduling conflict. That sucks. =(

    Even more bad news: apparently Drake is ALREADY working on another mixtape. Can he not. After 2015 he was overexposed enough, but Views and One Dance's #1 tenures have pushed him into oversaturation. I don't hate Drake, but really he needs to chill out already.

    Both of these are things I found out on Billboard.com. Why.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think it was a good idea that she wouldn't perform in Philly this week.

      No please! I'm already sick of Drake, what with the Views nearly filling up the chart, and Controlla, and Too Good gaining traction, and One Dance still at the top of the Hot 100 is driving me crazy!

      Delete
    2. Please don't let it be another shitty mixtape with Future

      Delete
    3. I actually didn't mind Too Good, even if probably only because of the guest act. But yeah other than that he's way past this point.

      Delete
    4. I just find Too Good to be okay, I guess. The only song I liked from his What A Time To Be Alive with Future was Jumpman, and I know Parker and Adrian hate that song.

      Delete
    5. Did you know that Ariana Grande also had an opportunity to perform at the White House, but was declined because of her doughnut licking situation from last year? She was apparently licking doughnuts and saying something along the lines of "I hate America". Bad choices like those will come haunt you in the future as did with her. :/

      Delete
    6. That whole doughnut thing was stupid and I actually didn't like her that much after the incident

      Delete
    7. I did lose a huge chunk of respect for her after that. With bad choices like that come consequences. Hopefully now she understands that she must think before she does anything like that.

  19. Adrian, what's your opinion of the new Major LAZER song Cold Water

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I actually really like it. The drop isn't the best, but Justin Bieber's vocals are honestly just amazing from the very beginning all the way to the end. I could do without MØ's part. I didn't really like her part too much. But I do believe Justin was a big part in making this song really good.

      Delete
    2. I haven't listened to it yet. And honestly, I don't see this one becoming a big hit. Company was a big flop, so is Light It Up, and I'm not expecting Final Song to be a hit in North America either.

      Delete
    3. Cold Water is #1 on iTunes, so you may be wrong.

      Delete
    4. For now. The only reason its #1 is because of the JB fan girls. I do not expect it to be in the top 20 on either the Hot 100, The Weekend Countdown, or the American Top 40.

      Delete
    5. I can see it going big like Make Me is right now

    6. It's already #29 on the radio charts, which is really rare for a song that was released only 2 days before.

    7. I mean all three of them have had smash hits in the past so I don't see why it wouldn't

    8. We'll just have to wait and see. But I do see some potential in this one. I really do like it a lot.

    9. Not only that, but it debuted on the Spotify US Top 50 yesterday at #2 with over a million streams, only behind One Dance. I foresee a Top 10 debut in the Hot 100 for this one.

    12. Cold Water? If you're talking about the August 6 chart, yeah, it won't debut this week, but we'll be seeing it on the August 13 chart for sure.

  23. Also, Adrian, I'm sure I mentioned this one already, but what are your thoughts on Greenlight by Pitbull featuring LunchMoney Lewis and Flo Rida? This one just dropped, and to say the least, I like it a lot better than Messin' Around. I mentioned that the problem I had with that one was that the production felt slow and weak. Here it's a step up, and the instrumentation is pretty good as well, with the saxophone in the chorus and the solid bassline.

    If it flops, this will be the first year since 2008 where Pitbull doesn't have a real hit (because he's had at least one song on every Year-End Hot 100 since 2009). Hits 1 hasn't been too kind to him since Timber, however.

    1. Yeah, I'm wondering when he's gonna put Cake By The Ocean in red for good. It was red for one week, but it's been turquoise since like February with a few weeks in yellow as well. I didn't want to hate the song, but I eventually realized how stupid it really is.

    5. However… I don't know if it's time for the One Dance "be-gone" party just yet. Cheap Thrills may be #1 now, but it's only its first week, and it's not leading in any category (Rise is #1 in sales, One Dance is #1 on radio I think, and Panda is somehow still #1 on streaming despite the fact that it's dropping fast on Spotify). I mean, I doubt it's a huge concern, but I don't know if Cheap Thrills is in prime form to dethrone One Dance for good just yet.

      Delete
    6. @Parker: Not true. I read the Billboard article, and for radio it's One Dance, CSTF and Cheap Thrills (but it's not by much). If you don't believe me, here:

      "Dance" dips 2-3 on the overall Streaming Songs chart, which it led for a week (May 21), with 17.5 million U.S. streams (down 2 percent); scores a fourth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs as the most-heard song on U.S. airwaves (155 million in audience, down 3 percent); while, on Digital Songs, which it topped for two weeks, it slips 7-9 (56,000 downloads sold, down 5 percent). "Dance" rules Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for a 12th week and the Songs of the Summer chart for an eighth week, having led the seasonal running tally each week since the ranking relaunched.
