Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Pitbull/Flo Rida/LunchMoney Lewis – Greenlight (–23)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie Between John Legend – Love Me Now and Bruno Mars – 24K Magic (+8)

New Entrants
~ Going in order from least favorite to favorite, we start with Lukas Graham – You're Not There. After two totally different songs that got two totally different opinions from me, I didn't really know what to expect going into this song. But I have to say, I really like this song. It is a whole lot more like the amazing 7 Years than the shitty Mama Said. I think Lukas Graham should just stick to these kinds of slower songs because obviously, these are what work best for them. The lyrical content is amazing like it was on 7 Years and the vocals sound really good. Overall, very enjoyable song and I wish it success.

~ Next we have Fitz & The Tantrums with the undeniably catchy HandClap. I have enjoyed quite a few songs from this band like Out Of My League and The Walker. So I was excited to see that they had new music out. HandClap is a fantastic song. The production is very good. It's very loud and it's very fun. It's one of those songs that just makes you want to get up and move. The vocals are really good. Overall, it's just a really fun song that I hope does well on here. And it was very popular on Alt Nation (channel 36) having landed at #4 on their Alt 36 of 2016.

~ Finally, the best debut of the week comes from Shawn Mendes with probably the best track off of Illuminate, Mercy. Shawn Mendes has always been one to include a good use of instrumentation in his music. Mercy certainly has more of that as opposed to Treat You Better. Treat You Better was a lot more radio-friendly, while Mercy is the better written and better produced track in my opinion. The vocals on here are fantastic. Like I said, the lyrics and production are amazing as well. You can definitely the emotion in this song when that chorus comes in. Overall, it is a fantastic song that I really hope can do well. This is definitely one of Shawn Mendes' best singles so far.


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


  • Daya – Words
  • Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You (DEBUT)
  • Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello – Bad Things
  • Maty Noyes – In My Mind
  • Dua Lipa – Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
  • Gavin DeGraw – She Sets The City On Fire
  • MAX/Gnash – Lights Down Low (DEBUT)
  • Captain Cuts/Nateur – Love Like We Used To
  • The Weeknd/Daft Punk – I Feel It Coming (DEBUT)
  • Calum Scott – Dancing On My Own
  • Little Mix – Shout Out To My Ex
  • Rihanna – Love On The Brain
  • Bruno Mars – Versace On The Floor
  • Hey Violet – Guys My Age

~ First up with debuts, we have one that I'm sure everyone has heard by now, The Weeknd/Daft Punk – I Feel It Coming. It is quite different than Starboy. But it is still very good. Daft Punk have amazed me once again with the production and The Weeknd's vocals are spot on. And hey, we even get some vocals from Daft Punk! I've been waiting to hear these guys at the microphone again. Nice to see they still have those amazing voices. :)

~ Next we have MAX returning with the I Hate U, I Love U singer, Gnash. I really didn't have any expectations going into this song. But MAX is a very talented artist. He is a really good singer. Overall, it's a really great song. MAX sounds really good and I like what Gnash had to contribute. I listened to the song by watching the music video and I have to say, the video was really sweet, but sad. So if you don't like sad videos, I don't recommend this music video. But aside from that, great song.

~ Finally, we have the return of Ed Sheeran! On Friday, he released not one, but TWO new singles. And it's very nice to see the better one as the Hit-Bound debut. I'm sure Castle On The Hill will be a hit at some point. Maybe. But for now, I am really enjoying Shape Of You. It's a simple, but fantastic song. Because it's Ed Sheeran, it's pretty much certain it'll be on the countdown next week. So be ready for that and I'll talk more about it then.

~ Guys My Age is getting less and less interesting with more listens. This song just weirds me out honestly. I always go into songs with an open mind, but this one really isn't working for me. Now it's much closer to red than it is to green.

~ I'm really hoping that 2017 will be a better year for music. We can start by getting Rihanna – Love On The Brain off of Hit-Bound and out of our lives. This song will do nothing except have a negative impact on the music of 2017. I just can't stand this song. It is officially worse than Work. So if it actually becomes a hit, it will not be pretty. But it's been here for a while, so I don't anticipate it graduating to the countdown thankfully.


Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. Little Mix – Shout Out To My Ex
2. Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You
3. Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello – Bad Things
4. MAX/Gnash – Lights Down Low
5. Maty Noyes – In My Mind


HandBlurb
~ Honestly, we all should have seen this coming. Any Maroon 5 comeback single is pretty much destined to be a #1 hit. Even if the song is a little mediocre like Don't Wanna Know, it still must be a #1 song because it's Maroon 5. I'm honestly fine with this as long as it doesn't stay there for a very long period of time. But I also prefer this song over This Town, so stay there as long as needed to keep This Town out.

~ Was the jump back into the Top 10 from Bruno Mars – 24K Magic really necessary??? I'm honestly just so tired of hearing this song. We do not need this as a #1 hit. We're looking for better music now that we're in 2017 and this will only make it worse.

~ I do however appreciate the re-entrant to the Top 10 from Scars To Your Beautiful and the new entrant from Side To Side. Of course, we did lose Starboy because of that. But oh well.

~ John Legend – Love Me Now finally got a decent boost. Now let's see this song hit the Top 20. I think it's worthy of it.

~ Steve Aoki/Louis Tomlinson – Just Hold On is not doing anything. I've been really enjoying this song and it pains me to see it holding every week. It deserves to be in the Top 20 by now. I know Hits 1 isn't gonna let this go so early. This is all they're going to get until One Direction starts releasing music again.

~ We can now rejoice as Charli XCX – After The Afterparty took a little bit of a tumble out of the Top 30. To lay it out plain and simple, this song sucks. So for mine and Scott's sake, this was very nice to see and probably one of the best things that happened on the countdown this week. Hopefully, we will see it leave next week or very soon.

~ Runaground – Chase You Down jumping into the Top 20 hitting a new peak at #18 was probably the best thing to happen this week. I've been enjoying this song very much lately and it's nice to see that it's doing pretty well.

~ I thought the drop from Pitbull/Flo Rida/LunchMoney Lewis – Greenlight was a little uncalled for. But I don't really care as I'm still losing interest in this song. It's one of those songs that can either leave next week or stay for another month or so and I won't really care either way.

~ As far as the exits go, I really didn't care for My Way. Girls Talk Boys was long overdue. But I Took A Pill In Ibiza was the one that hit me. Thank you for your service on this countdown. You will always be remembered as my #2 song of 2016. This song was easily one of the biggest highlights in music of 2016. I would love to see it win the Grammy for Song of the Year. So I wish it the best of luck.

~ I am still working on both year-end chart reviews for Hits 1 and Billboard. I will try to get those out as soon as I can.

~ The Hit 45 Chart is also currently being worked on and that will also be posted as soon as possible.

    5. Castle on the hill just doesn't sound like something Graham will like, mostly because one may find it boring, and i get it, i can see how it's boring, i like it though. that's why i think it's shape of you, while it's weird for my liking, it sounds more energetic and probably something Graham likes more.

  7. Nice post as always!

    I'm with you and Scott on After the Afterparty. I'm having to repair my poor ears because her vocals are kinda grating and the lyrics are meh to say least.

    Mercy is my new best song of 2017 so far. I've been enjoying it lately and it really has that feel to it. Also, your thoughts are the same as mine. If I were writing this countdown, I'd put it in purple. Easily my new favorite song on the countdown.

    Speaking of purple, that (Chase You Down) was kinda unexpected (for me at least). I expected All Time Low to spend every week in purple with how much you love that song. Same with Hymn For The Weekend.

    And sorry Adrian, but I still want 24K Magic to hit #1 soon (and Versace On The Floor and Blow Your Mind to debut).

  9. #1 Recommendation For Hits 1: 21 Savage/Metro Boomin - No Heart

    I know this probably won't happen, but I have really been enjoying this song lately, so it would be nice to see it get a little more popularity in not just the rap community, but also the mainstream charts.

    1. Also Adrian, I completely agree with you on Love On The Brain. That song is one of the main reasons why I switched to reviewing the Hot Rap Songs chart instead of the R&B and Hip Hop chart.

    2. Parker, that's not a pop song to recommend Hits 1, it's an urban song.

    4. So then why are you saying it's inappropriate?

      Delete
    5. Probably because it's rap, and most rap songs are inappropriate.

      Delete
    6. And most of the rap songs today tend to suck for many of us.

    7. Well, yeah, I guess it is kind of inappropriate.

  11. Hey guys, so I wanted to address something that I said on my page, me calling Graham "bitchy" in response to Into You re-entering the Top 20.

    As we all know, we have a tendency to pull for our favorite songs to do well, even if other people can't stand them. And sometimes we say "(song x) should jump to annoy (person y)" (like Parker with Work From Home to annoy me, Miles, and to a lesser extent Adrian). And seeing as how Graham has anxiously been wanting what has been regarded by many as one of the best songs of the year (especially by those who thought this year has sucked as a whole) to leave, that was me welcoming it to stay despite what he says. He's pulled for TIWYCF to annoy us :P

    So yeah. Hope nobody thought I was being super hard on him or anything.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I kinda did think that it was really mean. I mean, what makes Graham bitchy other than the fact that he hates a song you love? It just doesn't sound like something you'd do, Scott.

      Delete
    2. That is something I would do, especially with Unsteady. And I'm doing an early weekend countdown predictions because I have the time.

      Delete
    3. To answer your question, Parker... Well, saying something like "This will definitely go down as one of the worst songs of the year but please just leave now" and not "so please just leave now" and "There seriously isn't one good thing about this song" about a song that, as I said, many are regarding as one of the best songs of the year, seems a bit much. And if I'm being brutally honest, I do feel like he can get pretty negative in general. I mean, there's a part of me that wants to say, "We get it already, you hate the song and don't see its appeal, quit being whiny". I don't mean that in the most aggressive way possible, and I get that it's his opinion and all, but sometimes I feel like his negativity can get grating, but not as much as certain other people I won't name, though.

      That being said, just imagine if I had been blogging while Uptown Funk and Shut Up and Dance were big...

      Delete
    4. I'm probably one of the "certain other people" obviously along with another person.

      Delete
    5. I can get why you would think that I consider you one of them, but you're not.

      I'm sure we all know who one of them is.

    6. Um yeah I think I know. I can be sometimes but I don't think it's me.

  12. Hey Adrian, one question: What part of Guys My Age weirds you out to the point where you're gonna have it in red soon?

    ReplyDelete
  13. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuMuEWvbbPo

    I wonder how Jack, Graham and so many will react to #7.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPI3lrOzz-s

    Ha, that #5 will piss of a lot of Shawn Mendes fangirls.

    But #4, considering I really was expecting Meghan Trainor, not this to be on here, this was not what most people would have expected.

    So apparently #3 is the worst of the trap/soul genre?

    Well . will be happy about that #1, the rest of us are gonna be really angry and disappointed at Todd though.

    1. I wasn't. I saw that #1 coming, as I saw his review where he thrashed it.

      I was very surprised he didn't have Dangerous Woman there, though, as he tweeted pretty hard on that song after he reviewed Pillowtalk.

      Delete
    2. It's weird how so many people are choosing Sucker for pain as their background. And i'm sad about #4, and kind of about #1, everything else i don't care about.

    3. He's said that he's gonna have a tough time making a best list this year… But I can say that Into You and 24K Magic will both be on that list for sure, along with potentially Formation or Sorry.

  14. I like #17 on the countdown this week. Hope it stays with us a little bit longer.

  15. Here's one song that I like:

    After the after the party we're gonna keep it going
    We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

    I think it's almost 4am but baby I'm still feeling just fine
    Ice all up in a plastic cup and I'ma keep on sipping all night, yeah
    I might a kissed a thousand lips but maybe that's just all in my mind
    Some people never understand the way we live but we're living life

    Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
    So everyone say, "we don't wanna stop!"

    'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
    We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
    'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'
    Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    We're all in love
    We're all in love

    I'm hangin' on my best friend's couch and my clothes are all on the floor
    I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah
    I can't remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore
    Let's pour another drink, the glasses go
    Yeah, we're always up for one more

    Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
    So everyone say, "we don't wanna stop!"

    'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
    We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
    'Cause after the afterparty (afterparty)
    We're gonna stay 'til mornin' (stay 'til mornin')
    Then when the time is up, we'll do it again (oh yeah)

    The party just ended but I'm not done with you
    My folks are out of town, we got a crib with a view
    Come over, bring a couple friends, I keep mine with me
    Shout out to Whitney, she was so wicked
    The party was so crazy, the party was so crazy
    Tomorrow I'll be lazy but I'll spend it with you baby

    Monday to Sunday doing it our way
    RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
    We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
    Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
    And we do it like ice cream for dinner
    Bucket of liqueur, we're getting sicker
    Don't need Ibiza
    We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
    Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
    And we do it like
    Monday to Sunday doing it our way
    RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
    We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

    'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
    We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
    'Cause after the afterparty (afterparty), we're gonna stay 'til mornin' (stay 'til mornin')
    Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again (oh yeah)

    We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

    Monday to Sunday doing it our way
    RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
    We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

    Here's another song that I like:

    Hold
    Hold on

    1. First song is awesome. Only Graham, Jack, you, and I like it. Second is really old and must leave soon though.

    2. 1 song i like:
      I took a pill in Ibiza
      To show Avicii I was cool
      And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older

      But fuck it, it was something to do
      I'm living out in LA
      I drive a sports car just to prove
      I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
      And I spend it on girls and shoes
      But you don't wanna be high like me
      Never really knowing why like me
      You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster
      And be all alone
      You don't wanna ride the bus like this
      Never knowing who to trust like this
      You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
      Stuck up on that stage singing
      All I know, are sad songs, sad songs
      Darling, all I know, are sad songs, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
      I get along with old timers
      'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
      And I can't keep a girl, no
      'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
      I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
      But the truth is I can't open up
      Now you don't wanna be high like me
      Never really knowing why like me
      You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster
      And be all alone
      You don't wanna ride the bus like this
      Never knowing who to trust like this
      You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
      Stuck up on that stage singing
      All I know are sad songs, sad songs
      Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      I know, sad songs
      Sad songs, I know, sad songs
      Sad songs, I know, sad songs

      Another song i like:
      I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
      I know it's hard sometimes
      Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
      I know it's hard sometimes
      Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
      But it's fun to fantasize
      On my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
      But it's fun to fantasize

      Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Taking my time on my ride

      "I'd die for you," that's easy to say
      We have a list of people that we would take
      A bullet for them, a bullet for you
      A bullet for everybody in this room
      But I don't seem to see many bullets coming through
      See many bullets coming through
      Metaphorically, I'm the man
      But literally, I don't know what I'd do
      "I'd live for you," and that's hard to do
      Even harder to say when you know it's not true
      Even harder to write when you know that tonight
      There were people back home who tried talking to you
      But then you ignored them still
      All these questions they're for real
      Like "Who would you live for?",
      "Who would you die for?"
      And "Would you ever kill?"

      Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Taking my time on my ride

      I've been thinking too much
      I've been thinking too much
      I've been thinking too much
      I've been thinking too much
      (help me)
      I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)
      I've been thinking too much (Help me)
      I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)
      I've been thinking too much

      Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time
      Taking my time on my ride

      Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride
      Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my

      I've been thinking too much
      Help me
      I've been thinking too much
      Help me

      I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)
      I've been thinking too much (help me)
      I've been thinking too much (I've been thinking too much)

    5. I knew you were
      You were gonna come to me
      And here you are
      But you better choose carefully
      'Cause I’m capable of anything
      Of anything and everything
      Make me your Aphrodite
      Make me your one and only
      But don’t make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy
      So you wanna play with magic
      Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
      Baby do you dare to do this
      'Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse
      Are you ready for, ready for
      A perfect storm, a perfect storm
      'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
      There’s no going back
      Mark my words
      This love will make you levitate
      Like a bird
      Like a bird without a cage
      But down to earth
      If you choose to walk away, don’t walk away
      It’s in the palm of your hand now baby
      It’s a yes or no, no maybe
      So just be sure before you give it up to me
      Up to me, give it up to me
      So you wanna play with magic
      Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
      Baby do you dare to do this
      'Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse
      Are you ready for, ready for
      A perfect storm, a perfect storm
      'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
      There’s no going back
      She’s a beast
      I call her Karma
      She eat your heart out
      Like Jeffrey Dahmer
      Be careful
      Try not to lead her on
      Shawty’s heart was on steroids
      'Cause her love was so strong
      You may fall in love
      When you meet her
      If you get the chance you better keep her
      She swears by it but if you break her heart
      She turn cold as a freezer
      That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
      She can be my Sleeping Beauty
      I’m gon’ put her in a coma
      Woo, damn I think I love her
      Shawty so bad
      I’m sprung and I don’t care
      She got me like a roller coaster
      Turn the bedroom into a fair
      Her love is like a drug
      I was tryin'a hit it and quit it
      But lil’ mama so dope
      I messed around and got addicted
      So you wanna play with magic
      Boy, you should know whatcha falling for
      Baby do you dare to do this
      'Cause I’m coming at you like a dark horse
      Are you ready for, ready for
      A perfect storm, a perfect storm
      'Cause once you’re mine, once you’re mine
      There’s no going back

  17. This Week in Billboard Chart History: In 2000, Christina Aguilera Was the 'Girl' at No. 1 on the Hot 100

    What a Girl Wants" became the first song to rise to No. 1 in the 2000s. Plus, remembering feats by Whitney Houston, Usher & Garth Brooks

    Jan. 9, 1988
    Whitney Houston notched her sixth of a record seven consecutive Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s, as "So Emotional" rose 2-1.

    Jan. 10, 1998
    Usher spent his first week at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart with My Way. To date, his five leaders on the list have reigned for a cumulative 25 weeks.

    Jan. 11, 2003
    Christina Aguilera began a four-week reign on the Pop Songs chart with her empowerment anthem "Beautiful."

    Jan. 12, 1991
    Garth Brooks took over atop Hot Country Songs with his plaintive ballad "Unanswered Prayers." All four singles from parent album No Fences topped the tally; "Prayers" followed "Friends in Low Places." "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House" and "The Thunder Rolls" would become the set's third and fourth leaders, respectively.

    Jan. 13, 1990
    We were all a part of it: Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation" conquered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

    Jan. 14, 1989
    Bobby Brown hit heights that he didn't as part of New Edition: his solo smash "My Prerogative" topped the Billboard Hot 100. In 1990, he'd add a second No. 1 apart from the group as featured on Glenn Medeiros' "She Ain't Worth It." Meanwhile, Britney Spears would take her cover of "My Prerogative" to No. 22 on the Pop Songs chart in 2004.

    Jan. 15, 2000
    More Xtina x-cellence: The first song to ascend to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 2000s? Seventeen years ago today, Christina Aguilera earned the honor with "What a Girl Wants."

    1. NOTE: Shape of you will debut NEXT week, but is new on the radio charts at #41.

      More hot 100 so far:
      21: Love on the brain
      38: Water under the bridge
      40: You was right(By Lil Uzi Vert)
      51: Chajante(By Shakira and Maluma)
      61: Rockabye

      Fun Fact: LIL UZI VERT is one of the first people to have their first hit make #1 and their second enter the top 40 on the same week, The Beatles did it too.



      Delete
    2. Of course the Beatles did it. They actually composed the entire top 5 in the same week once.

  25. Here are some hints about my most missed song. Try to guess it. (Level easy)
    -The artist had one of the three-weekers from 2016.
    -This song is also from 2016, but it was not the three-weeker.
    -Miles did not like this song.

    25. Also hollow man, are you SURE you aren't this Sliderontheback guy?

      Delete
    26. He said:

      Hey guys, check out your blogs for any comments by Chase.

      Delete
    27. THAT PROVES IT

      Delete
    28. YOU ARE SLIDERONTHEBACK

      Delete
    29. Of course I'm not also Hollow Man, you f*cking DanielEsmoines.

      Delete
    30. I highly doubt that Hollow Man is SOTB. And watch your language!

      Delete
    31. So, what are you going to say to this, DanielESmoines?

      Delete
    32. What? You post it so early that you know you wrote it!

      Delete
    33. I'm calling it, SOTB is Katetronaut.

      Delete
    34. @. In order to have a second blogger account, you need to have a second email. I only have one.

      And Daniel, whenever you say that someone is actually someone else, usually the person who says that actually IS the someone else. And just because I said "Of course I'm not" does not prove that I am SOTB.

      Delete
    35. you even remember her? Where's her comments.

      Delete
    36. I don't know how many emails you have! Also it doesn't have to be an email, and i saw your comment:

      "Hey guys, watch out for some comments by chase".

      Delete
    37. I'm in bed with the lights off, my parents don't even know that I'm on my phone right now. So I can't find her comments right now.

      Delete
    38. oka, but why do you think that this SOTB is kateranout in the house?

      Delete
    39. @DanieESmoines I was replying to your comment about what was the comment that I removed from my blog. Those were the exact words. I forgot to say that that hacker wrote it. Sorry for any confusion. And of course I'm not SOTB.

      Delete
    40. These two sound exactly the same, except that SOTB used the f-word. And Old Parker was much different.

      Delete
    41. What two, and old parker?

      Delete
    42. @Daniel SOTB and Katetronaut

      And please read my explanation above. That was why I said that in the first place.

      Delete
    43. Excuses excuses!

      Delete
    44. The two are SOTB and Kate. Also earlier in 2016, Parker used to be a troll. He claims he got hacked but I don't think that's true, even though I do really like him as an internet friend. Oh my goodness, Parker's comments put all of us through hell, even Chase. And I know for sure that SOTB's comments will do the same as Parker's.

      Delete
    45. Oh, so you still believe I'm SOTB! Well, you have no proof!

      Delete
    46. I'm going to bed now. See you in 8 hours.

      Delete
    47. Yes, i have proof, and i'll never forgive you for this!

      Delete
    48. In my head, where you can reach it.

      Delete
    49. In your head! Ha! Well guess what, you can believe what you want. But you will never convince anyone else to believe the same thing, because the other people are a much more careful assumer than you are!

      Delete
    50. And I will believe that you are SOTB.

      Delete
    51. Also, even if I was SOTB, you'd think I'd be so stupid to give myself away?

      Well I'm not as stupid as you are, Daniel, for assuming things.

      Delete
    52. And i'm fine, Because i know your SOTB and i can still rant on it all i want, because i have my proof and i can say what i want, i still believe your SOTB and i will always believe that because i have proof of that, thank you, SLIDERONTHEBACK.

      Delete
    53. Since you can say what you want, I can say what I want.

      And I don't care if you think I'm SOTB. Believe all you want, loser.

      Delete
    54. Also, the first time I asked you, you said that it was in your head. That really means that you have no proof.

      Oh... and anyone can say "watch out for comments by chase", you loser.

      And I'm not the only one besides SOTB that has said something like this, loser.

      Delete
    55. Also ., when you wake up, can you show me some comments of those people?

      Delete

    Before looking, guess who said this?:

    Triff, can you update your countdown blog for me?

    Replies
    1. Well he doesn't exactly update his countdown posts that much now does he?

      Delete
    2. You answer it in the exact format chase would.

      Delete
    3. Also, who cares if he's not updating a post? He might be on vacation or something who cares? He hasn't commented either.

      Delete
    4. That's it. Hollow Man, forget about what Daniel said and leave blogspot if you want to. I think Daniel is a cyberbully.

      Delete
  34. It's been less than a half an hour since I've seen this new blogger, and I already don't like him.

    1. I don't even know this anonymous spam hacker, what is this?

    2. That's what you get for assuming things.

  36. I've been gone for about a day and already we have a flame war in these comments. Daniel, Hollow Man, both of you need to stop arguing about this. Forget about this SOTB person, and move on for God's sake.

    And before anyone asks, no its not me, because I haven't been on here for about a day. I've been sleeping for 14 hours, and just woke up a half hour ago.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Daniel and Hollow Man, you two need to stop it. I am 90% sure that both of you are not SOTB and you two just made up the fact that the other is SOTB. Just imagine someone standing in his house, looking at these comments and eating popcorn because he's happy that he just drove a freakin' wedge between you two. Trolls can not have power.

    And yeah Miles, like we'll forget about SOTB.
