Hey guys! I am now on Spring Break! The reason for this being posted today as opposed to sometime over the weekend is just pure laziness. So I really don't have a good reason for this week. But at least it's out relatively early in comparison to the previous two weeks. This week really wasn't anything special. We got rid of a good song and a bad song and replaced them with a good song and a bad song. So let's get into it. Before we get to this week's Fresh 45, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Bebe Rexha – I Got You (–29)
Biggest Jump Of The Week: James Arthur – Say You Won't Let Go (+25)
New Entrants
~ We'll start with the (much) less interesting song, which is Believer by Imagine Dragons. Ideally, I was kind of hoping for something similar to Night Visions where we had It's Time, Radioactive, and Demons. Despite these songs being overplayed, they are still top-notch songs. They seem to be (once again) trying something new with their music and unfortunately it just does not work. Believer consists of a ton of yelling in the chorus that just doesn't grab my attention. It's actually pretty annoying. I get that they're experimenting new sounds and trying to be a little more rock, which is fine. But this song just does not set a good example. Like I said, a lot of yelling is going on. The production is a little weird, and not the good kind of weird. Overall, I hope this song doesn't last long. But honestly, I can't picture a song like this staying here for that long. Hopefully I'm right.
~ Next we have our favorite Brendon Urie! L.A. Devotee is easily one of the most "pop" songs on the Death Of A Bachelor album. It's really fast and it's really catchy. I really like the instrumentation and the production. Brendon Urie's vocals are on point from beginning to end. It's not the best song on the album, but it is definitely up there. I really don't have much else to say about this song other than the fact that it's very enjoyable and I'm sure it'll do well.
Hit-Bound
~ Here is the Hit-Bound list:

Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. The Chainsmokers/Coldplay – Something Just Like This
2. The Vamps/Matoma – All Night
3. Clean Bandit/Sean Paul/Anne-Marie – Rockabye
4. Little Mix – Touch
5. MAX/Gnash – Lights Down Low
L.A. Blurbotee
~ We're kind of at that point now where if Shape Of You continues to hold at #1, it'll get pretty damn annoying. So it'd be nice if it could leave that spot pretty soon. We really don't need another song reaching ten weeks at the top.
~ Maroon 5 – Cold took a relatively unexpected leap to #3 this week. Because it's Maroon 5, it's pretty much set to hit #1 at some point in the near future. Since we still have Shape Of You at the top, I think the sooner the better.
~ This week we got yet another massive jump from James Arthur – Say You Won't Let Go rising all the way to #11. I still like this song, so I really don't have a problem with this. There are certainly some worse songs on this countdown.
~ Ed Sheeran – Castle On The Hill also took a big jump up into the Top 15. While it's definitely a good song, I can't really see it becoming the massive hit that Shape Of You is right now. That said, I really don't know how long it'll stay. But I am definitely enjoying it right now.
~ Out of nowhere Fitz & The Tantrums – HandClap dropped out of the Top 10 this week. I can't say I'm that happy about that. I mean, I am surprised it even got into the Top 10 at all. But I really don't think it stayed there long enough.
~ The Weeknd/Daft Punk – I Feel It Coming continues to drop for some unknown reason. This song should be in the Top 10 right now. Also, I did see the music video for this song and it is quite interesting. But I'm hoping that this song can jump into the Top 10 at some point soon.
~ Linkin Park/Kiiara – Heavy took a random drop all the way back down to #34. I guess anything Kiiara does just can't be a hit. Even Linkin Park, who hit #10 in 2013 with A Light That Never Comes, couldn't save this song from flopping. But somehow, this was not the Biggest DROP!!!... of the Week.
~ The actual biggest drop came from Bebe Rexha – I Got You. This drop was pretty uncalled for and unnecessary if I do say so myself. Of course anything Bebe Rexha does solo can't be as big a hit as when she does collabs. Oh well.
~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is currently being worked on and will be posted as soon as possible.

Wait, your on spring break now? I don't get a real spring break until Easter, and no the snow storm last week that caused us to have FOUR days of no school doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's kind of early for spring break. But I think the reason we have it now is so that it would be right after third quarter ended, kinda like how winter break was right after second quarter ended.
DeleteWell I don't have one until Easter, which is saying something. And because of the number of snow days my area has had, they are thinking of taking away a few days of Easter break, so that graduation takes place on June 9th.
DeleteSame. I'm on spring break right now, right after the third quarter ended.

I'm surprised that Beauty and The Beast by Ariana Grande and John Legend didn't re-enter, given the soundtrack proper dropped. I can guarantee it'll re-enter next week, though.
DeleteParker: The only real reason they re-entered was because of the fallout from Divide.

Answers to the COAEP guess-the-song I did last week:
ReplyDelete1. 21 Savage/Metro Boomin - No Heart. The trivia answer was Metro Boomin. Graham got this right.
2. A$AP Mob/A$AP Rocky/Various Artists - Telephone Calls. The bonus trivia was one week, because A$AP Mob's #1 song was Crazy Brazy.
3. Ty Dolla $ign/Travi$ Scott - 3 Wayz. The trivia answer is four, because that #1 song was Key To The Streets (Remix).
Now here's a WC guess the song:
- I was in red for Adrian on the year-end chart it was on, but then was in blue sometime after that.
- I was in the bottom 10 of the countdown the week that the #18 song of my year debuted.
- I am mainly by one artist, but a second is sometimes typed with it.
Don't know.
DeleteI heard Good News yesterday twice. So that's definitely debuting the countdown this week.
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard All Night tonight so that sounds likely.
DeleteI also heard both Slide and Rockabye yesterday, but that's before the spins start to take effect.
Good News' only spins were on Hit-Bound on Monday, and All Night only played twice.
DeleteAre you sure? Good News didn't have any spins and All Night only has 2.
DeleteWC out!
ReplyDelete#PrayForLondon
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. I been praying since then....
DeleteBreaking news: 4 dead, 20 people are injured, including the attacker and police officer are dead near the UK Parliament building in London.
ReplyDeleteAvailable For Vote On Hits 1: Erin Bowman - Good Time, Good Life
ReplyDeleteUnavailable For Vote On Hits 1: John Legend - Love Me Now
I remember the time when I recommended . to listen to the song available for vote and he did. It made the Bubbling Under on his chart but didn't make it.
DeleteGood Time Good Life? Holy cow, I did not expect that.
DeleteAvailable to vote on Hits 1:
DeleteDemi Lovato - Stone Cold
Selena Gomez - Hands To Myself
.......................
Also, it will re-enter the Bubbling Under section due to it debuting Hits 1. It will be the first re-entry in that section in its entire three-month history.
DeleteWho else agrees that we need Thumbs, Down, and You Don't Know Me on Hits 1?
To be honest, I don't think that Hits 1 likes Down, which is why it's not on Hits 1.
DeleteThe Night Is Young and ITNOL are still there too.
DeleteStone Cold is old now.
DeleteAnd really, really bad.
DeleteI hear Good Time, Good Life a lot on Venus, so that song's not unknown to me.
DeleteI remember when Halsey - Ghost left the countdown during the summer of 2014, but it still was in the voting list during mid 2015.
DeleteBut they successfully got it off the voting list, so that'll happen to Hands To Myself, Stone Cold, The Night Is Young, & In The Name Of Love as well.
DeleteI think that Treat You Better is still available for vote because of Hits 1's love for Shawn Mendes.
ReplyDeleteIf Hits 1 didn't have their love for Shawn Mendes, this song would've been off the voting list.
Deleteinstead
DeleteBut Unsteady needs to get off.
ReplyDeleteI say it should stay for a bit longer
Delete^^^
DeleteMay you please add countdownsblog.blogspot.com to the «Other Sirius Xm Hits 1 Weekend Countdown blogs» list?

Here's the recap:

Least Favorite - Issues
Nice blog, btw.
Deletehttp://sxmhits1.blogspot.com/2017/03/ed-sheeran-5-week-of-march-11-2017.html?showComment=1490225808049#c6586866186878517222
ReplyDeleteI think everyone who comments on these blogs should pay attention to this one.
So, in case any of you got stuck in the train of being jaded by Drake when More Life dropped last week, we also had two other albums by notable named: So Good by Zara Larsson, and Climate Change by Pitbull. The former does have her two former songs that most of us know (Never Forget You and Lush Life), and the title track which was on the YouTube15, and even a song with Clean Bandit. Spectrum Pulse reviewed the album here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gL-TQO7eTs
ReplyDeleteThe latter, on the other hand... Let's just say some of you might find it to be So Bad It's Good. Matter of fact, to me that's kinda what sums up Pitbull in general for me (except Time Of Our Lives and Fireball, both of which I can unashamedly call solid). Twitter user T3chJ3t went on a pretty funny tweet spree while listening to it, as he does for most albums he reviews.
Oh yeah, there was also Rather You Than Me by Rick Ross.
I feel like no one even knew about Pitbull's new album. No one even listens to him anymore.
DeleteI do see why you say that… Time Of Our Lives could very well be his last real hit, as much as I wanted Greenlight to be successful too. And yet Flo Rida, his fellow 305 party boy, had My House, one of the biggest songs of last year.
DeleteNew poll on my blog.
ReplyDelete#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: The Como Brothers - Magic
ReplyDeleteWait 'till Miles sees that.
ReplyDeleteSees what?
DeleteBREAKING MUSIC NEWS: Sia recently appeared at LAX...WITHOUT her wig!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that on YouTube.
DeleteI once flew in the same flight as Selena Gomez on an airline.

ReplyDeleteSomething is telling me that Rockin Librarian is secretly Chase or maybe a friend of Chase.
ReplyDeleteI was right.

ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not that has close to as many comments as this post has.
That's What I Like is nearing the #1 on iTunes, ready to dethrone Shape of You.
ReplyDeleteThen Shape Of You must hang on tight to that #1 spot.
DeleteMo bounce in the motherf***in' house.
ReplyDelete?????
DeleteI don't know why Adrian approved this comment, as it makes no sense to me. :/
DeleteIt's probably a reference to something.
DeleteThat's right Adrian.
DeleteI think it's Iggy Azalea's new song.
DeleteQuick Peak at the BAPC:
ReplyDeleteExits:

ReplyDeleteBBH100 post is out.
New Music Alert: Mo Bounce by Iggy Azalea
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the rest of you, but this I don't think it'll blow up. And I can't say I'm a fan, either. I doubt Adrian will be, either.
Also, bad news for Starving haters: I heard it as Most Wutchwanted more than once the past few days. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteNO TAYLOR SWIFT, STARVING IS NOT MY MOST WUTCHUWANTED SONG X_X I swear to god, if this re-enters the Top 10...
DeleteHello, folks! It's been a while. I started my new job last week and I just wanted to see what's been going on. I listened to the weekend countdown last weekend which I can see you posted. So, did I miss anything? Any good news in the music world?
ReplyDeleteHeh… Let's just say, the blogging pages got weird.
DeleteStarving is definitely going to jump this week.
DeleteSo, as a heads-up, I don't think I'll be posting this past countdown on its own page. What I'll do instead is stuff it in with tomorrow's countdown. I'll explain the delay when I get that in. Thanks for understanding.
ReplyDeleteActually, I decided to get it out anyway, but have it condensed like Jack did. Here: http://sxmh1wc.blogspot.com/2017/03/march-18-2017-ed-sheeran-6.html
DeleteJust a heads up that comment moderation is taking effect on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI feel like i'm the only that doesn't include Ryan Riback as a feature in Call on me... Sure the remix does jazz it up a little, but i like acknowledging Someone's work and not scratching it with some stupid remix.
ReplyDeleteBottom quarter of the BAPC countdown:
ReplyDelete40: Zedd/Alessia Cara-Stay(DEBUT)
39: Rag N' Bone Man-Human(DEBUT)
38: Julia Brennan-Inner demons(39)
37: Lindsey Stirling/ZZ Ward-Hold my Heart(38)
36: Jon Bellion-All time low(30)(NOT the biggest drop-6)
35: Judah & The Lion-Take it all back(37)
34: Bon Jovi-Roller Coaster(36)
33: Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello-Bad things(34)
32: P!nk/Sia-Waterfall(DEBUT)
31: Kygo/Selena Gomez-It ain't me(35)(Biggest jump+4)

DeleteThe song is for a soundtrack. Stargate is the soundtrack. P!nk and Asia are the artists. That's what billboard says.
Graham i see why you don't like Human. It couldd grow on you with a few more listens. But it's kinda deep so i get that.

ReplyDeleteCountdown on my blog. Check it out here:

Today is a pretty interesting day to One Direction fans. Two years ago today, Zayn left the band, but today, Liam had a child, and Harry posted three blank pictures on Instagram. He is reportedly releasing a new song on April 7.
ReplyDelete*in reply to comment* Zayn also released his album one year ago today, and it's Louis' deceased mom's birthday. Oh my god, this needs to be a holiday for Directioners.

#1 Recommendation for Hits 1 and for everyone:
ReplyDeleteBaby, are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Even if the sky is fallin' down, down, down (oh)
You ought to know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show (show, show)
I wanna see how you lose control
So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away (away, away)
So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape (escape, escape)
[Chorus:]
So, baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby, are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Baby, are you down? [x5]
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down
Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I'll take you away (ay)
Turn this place into our private getaway
So leave it behind 'cause we have a night to get away (away, away)
So come on and fly with me as we make our great escape
So why don't we run away
[Chorus]
[Lil Wayne:]
Down like she's suppose to be
She gets down low for me
Down like her temperature
'Cause to me she's zero degrees
She's cold, over freeze
I got that girl from overseas
Now she's my Miss America
Now can I be her soldier, please?
I'm fighting for this girl on the battlefield of love
Got me look like baby Cupid
Sending arrows from above
Don't you ever leave the side of me
And definitely, not probably
And honestly I'm down like that economy (Yeah)
[Chorus:]
So, baby, don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only (oh)
No need to worry (oh)
Baby, are you down [x5] (oh, the sky is falling down)
Down, down (oh, down)
Baby, are you down [x5]
Down, down (oh, down) (the sky is falling down)
Even if the sky is falling down
Oh, oh, the sky is falling down
I think that song was from like 2009. Also I used to not like that song.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeletePlus, that song you think is a #1 Recommendation for Hits 1 was made in the 2000s.
DeleteAt first, I always thought that The Chainsmokers - Paris kinda reminds me of M83 - Midnight City
ReplyDeleteBecause it is similar to Midnight City.
DeleteSame. I like Midnight city WAY MORE though. It's one of my 10 favorites of all time.
Deletehttp://www.kworb.net/airadio/
ReplyDeleteI think Shape Of You may have reached a peak in airplay.
Also, I expect That's What I Like to become the 2nd most heard song on radio soon, because it had a massive jump audience and spins, while LOTB and IDWLF has been losing airplay.
Why is it I keep expecting Green Light to jump 3 spots, because a few songs above it seem weaker on airplay but it doesn't happen? Also, why doesn't it have rhythmic pop format?
Even if Water Under The Bridge leaves soon on the Hot 100, I think it can hit the top 10 here on airplay.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fake Love had a sudden resurgence on radio due to the release of the album in a couple days.

NEVER HEARD
Dirt On My Boots
Instead of just saying you never heard it before, you could wither give it a quick listen, or just place it as mediocre/don't care instead and give it 2 points.
Delete^^^^
DeleteI definitely could do that. Or I suggest if you don't care about a song you should give it 3 points so people wouldn't think that you thought it was old.
DeleteDirt on My Boots would be rated a 3 or 4 by me.
Why 3? 2 is mediocre, not just old.
DeleteBecause a 2 would make people think it's old and not that good.
DeleteThat's stupid, not everyone, only you see that.
DeleteGuess The Song:
ReplyDelete1. I am sung by 3 female artists.
2. I left in the weekend countdown in a 2 exit week in December 2014.
Bang Bang
DeleteCountdown post is out: http://sxmh1wc.blogspot.com/2017/03/march-25-2017-ed-sheeran-7.html
ReplyDeleteEveryday better leave Hit Bound. This song was very horrible, and I'm very tired of listening to this song.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I hate Everyday.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't even explain it very good. You can't just say it's horrible without giving any good reasons as to why it is.
DeleteHopefully it leaves Hit Bound soon.
ReplyDeleteI love Everyday, and it's going to debut the countdown.
DeleteWhy did Adrian approve Chase's comment?
DeleteActually I doubt that Chase. Just because you love a song doesn't mean it will debut the countdown. To add much more to that, it's fallen 267 spins on pop radio today and has a negative bullet and bullet+, which means it's going to flop very soon.
DeleteMiles: Because I personally didn't see a problem with it.
DeleteNo, I don't want that song to debut the countdown.
ReplyDeleteMy WC post is out!
ReplyDeleteHit bound anyone ?
ReplyDeleteOn Scott's, Graham's, and my blog.
DeleteI am working on my hot 45 chart. I hope that Lukas can enjoy my #1 song, Scott can enjoy my #2 song, and that just about everyone here can enjoy my biggest drop of the week.
ReplyDelete22 songs from More Life are to debut on the Hot 100 this week. Someone kill me.
ReplyDeleteShould i get a sword, or take you to the doctor?
DeleteI can't do that, Miles because I will end up in jail forever.
DeleteIt's a fucking joke!
DeleteI think now is the time for me to say this: I'm kinda surprised that That's What I Like is now more popular than 24K Magic (which was the title track to the album). And in two months' time, no less.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's taking into account the fact that the title track debuted in the Top 5 (although it's understandable since it was his first release since Uptown Funk), while That's What I Like debuted the week the album dropped and then resurfaced in the wake of the Grammys.
Deletehttp://www.kworb.net/airadio/
ReplyDeleteJust as I say Shape Of You peaked on radio, it gains 1 million in it's audience and over 100 spins.
Yep, Expect That's What I Like to get #2 on radio soon.
Great, now Cold has another radio format.
With Black Beatles at #75, I expect it to have left us on the Hot 100 this week.
Yay, Play That Song has finally dropped!
And Green Light jumped today!
And Deja Vu lost airplay!

YAY!!!
So I see that Miles was finally able to post on Pulse Music Board. As I said, most of my activity there is in the YE predictions thread.
ReplyDeleteSome of you might get an idea of what these final charts can potentially look like there.
I actually signed up recently, but my account hasn't been approved yet. How long does it take to do that?
DeleteYes, I finally had my account approved. And it only took almost 2 months.
Delete^Same here!
Delete2 MONTHS?!?
DeleteYeah, I applied in mid-January, and it took me until mid-March to finally have my account approved.
DeleteI just signed up, now I have to wait 2 months. Maybe I will get approved on May 28th and I will be in Disneyland that time.
DeleteSong Wars finals post is out and be sure to comment on it!
ReplyDeleteAlso be warned, if you requested any songs to me through Song Wars, I commented on my thoughts on each song. If you would like me to continue commenting on the song I would me more than happy to do that.
NEW MUSIC ALERT: The Chainsmokers - The One
ReplyDeleteSo, trivia: for any of you who may remember 679 by Fetty Wap, Heathens is the 679 of 2016-17.
ReplyDelete- They both debuted very early in the summer of both years.
- They both landed on #21 on their first YE list. 679 with 20 weeks, and Heathens with 21, no less.
- 679 was #55 on 2016's YE, and according to Pulse predictions, Heathens is projected for the Top 55 of 2017's.
- They were both forced off the charts as a result of album bombs (The Life of Pablo last year, and More Life here).
Just some trivia, kinda clever coincidences.
Upcoming Music Alert: Heatstroke by Calvin Harris with Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande
ReplyDeleteI legit don't know what to make of this thought.
EDM, hip hop, funky R&B, and pure pop together. Wow!
DeletePlease take a few minutes and fill out the survey! Thanks!

Just submitted part of it (since it's REALLY long). Remind me to submit another response starting with "Train and Niall Horan".

ReplyDeleteWill you do something like this again?

ReplyDeleteAvailable for vote on Hits 1: Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
ReplyDeleteFor the last time, nothing else new, and not fake.
BREAKING NEWS: UNSTEADY IS OFF OF THE VOTING POLL.
ReplyDeleteHey guys. Since DogstarRadio is still down, I'll just give you a brief rundown of what's going on with the spins on Hits 1 based on what I heard on the radio today:
ReplyDeleteBad news for Adrian, but good news for most of us (Me, Scott, Miles): I heard That's What I Like every hour which means it's likely gonna be in the Top 5.
Hits 1 aired the Ear Poppin' Music! snippet for Ariana Grande/Future - Everyday which means it's likely gonna debut this weekend.
Other than just That's What I Like, here are the other songs I heard as Most Wutchuwanted today:
- Mercy
- Bad Things
- Castle On The Hill
- and, of course, Shape Of You
Huh. Maybe I was wrong about Everyday. Even if it debuts though, I highly think it'll leave in the next two months.
DeleteWait really, YYYYYESSSSASSSS! Then I'm not leaving.
DeleteI also didn't catch that throwback pick until right now. Do like that one, while Maroon 5 were more proficient and respectable than they are nowadays. Arguably my favorite song of theirs.
ReplyDeleteAlso one of the best #1's of the 2000s. Not as good as We Belong Together, Independent Woman Part 1, Lose Yourself, Yeah!, Smooth or I Gotta Feeling, but still good nonetheless.
DeleteAvailable For Vote: Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
ReplyDeleteUnavailable For Vote: X Ambassadors - Unsteady

ReplyDeleteThey will not go out of business because of something that small. Anyone with a basic knowledge of how businesses and companies run knows that something as small as the number of exits per week will have VERY little to no effect. You my friend are alone with that idea.
DeleteThe fact that you're done with Hits 1 because of the number of exits per week is also kind of dumb. But I guess it's your opinion.
I don't think you should stop commenting anymore because of that. Sure, it's activity. We all love activity but I don't want to overreact about it.
Delete^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This.
DeleteYour seriously going to quit just because of something so stupid like the number of exits? No one else gives a fuck about something like that! People only care about the songs themselves. Take me reviewing the Hot 100, I'm not going to stop just because of Drake's huge uproar or a song holding at #1 longer than One Sweet Day because I know resistance is futile.
It's definitely the quality of the songs that I care about most. And right now for me, music sucks but I'm still blogging. So leaving over such a little thing like exits is overreacting. I mean I'd rather activity than no activity as well, but quality is more important.
DeleteI'm quitting because there's not enough activity on the countdown. I will still listen to the radio, but not leave.

ReplyDeleteThis week's Billboard Breakdown, better known as Devastating Drake Part 2. Or 3.
I consider the mixtape with Future as Part 2. Views is 3, and More Life is 4. If You're Reading This It's Too Late is part 1, and yes I know it was a mixtape.
DeleteWell, both Views and More Life were insanely long, while the two 2015 releases weren't quite as much (although they did span two charts worth of debuts).
DeleteHOLY F**K UNSTEADY IS UNAVAILABLE!?!?!?!?!?! YAAASS!!!
ReplyDeleteYA I GET TO HOST A PARTY FOR ONCE!
DeleteThis doesn't mean that Unsteady is going to leave this week. For reference, look at Hymn for the Weekend.
DeleteThe Hot 45 Chart from last week is out! Please read! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteDo you guys wonder if Adrian will continue this blog even in college ?
ReplyDeleteI hope that this song can pull off a Hymn for the Weekend and stay on the countdown.
