New Entrants
~ Our first new entrant comes from the song that is currently #1 in the U.S., Post Malone/21 Savage – Rockstar. I'm sure you already know how this is gonna go down. This song isn't very different from a lot of other rap songs I hear nowadays. But it isn't as bad. It's actually somewhat tolerable. The vocals aren't awful for the most part. The production is somewhat okay compared to most of what I've heard this past year within this genre. However, the song still has its flaws. The lyrical content is not that good and 21 Savage sounds awful. But aside from that, this song isn't the worst thing I've ever heard. There is a slight possibility that this song may be fortunate enough to not appear in the Bottom 10 songs of the year, though this cannot be guaranteed. Anyway, given that it's the #1 song in the country, you'd guess that this would do well here as well. Though I'm pretty sure this won't last longer than a month.

~ Next we have Selena Gomez with Marshmello on the track, Wolves. It's nice to see Marshmello getting some recognition as I have enjoyed his music in the past, similar to Kygo. However, I don't think this is his best work. I expected just a little bit more out of the drop. But the rest of the production is very good. Selena Gomez sounds good for the most part, particularly in the chorus. It's nice to see that she went for something more along the lines of It Ain't Me as opposed to Fetish and Bad Liar. It's songs like these that allow her to really show off her voice because, as I've said in the past, she does have a good voice. Given that it debuted all the way in the Top 20, it's safe to assume that this song will do well and I'm all for that.


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


  • Nick Jonas – Find You
  • X Ambassadors – Ahead Of Myself
  • WØLVES – Animal (DEBUT)
  • Fall Out Boy – Hold Me Tight Or Don't
  • P!nk – Beautiful Trauma (DEBUT)
  • Bruno Mars – Chunky
  • Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels – I Miss You (DEBUT)
  • Harry Styles – Kiwi
  • Macklemore/Kesha – Good Old Days
  • Imagine Dragons – Whatever It Takes
  • Liam Payne – Bedroom Floor
  • Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/Future – End Game (DEBUT)
  • Walk The Moon – One Foot
  • Sofi Tukker – Best Friend

~ Animal sounds like something I've heard before, though I'm not sure where. It may have been on some other SiriusXM station, or some commercial. But anyway, it's a good song. It's a bit different than what we have now, and that's good. I would like to see this song make it on to the countdown.

~ Beautiful Trauma is another good song. It's not as good as What About Us, but I can see why it was selected as the next single. I really like the chorus and the song is actually pretty catchy in some parts. I'm sure this will be on the countdown soon. The sooner, the better.

~ Right from the start of the track, I knew I Miss You had potential. I love the way the song opens up. The production is very good. Julia Michaels' weird voice actually fits this song really nicely. This is the kind of song she should be singing, not those obnoxious voice-cracking songs with weird production in the background. I was annoyed that Hits 1 did not pick up on Symphony, as it was a very good song. But I Miss You is very good as well. Hopefully this will be a hit.

~ One of the reasons why I don't like Taylor Swift right now is that she refuses to put her new album on Apple Music. So I can't listen to End Game in full without buying it off of iTunes, which I am not doing. But I did listen to the iTunes preview and I also heard a little bit of it about a week ago on the radio. So I somewhat know what it sounds like and it sounds pretty good. The vocals are good. Future doesn't suck. I like what Ed Sheeran had to contribute as well. More on this song when I get the chance to actually listen to it in full.

~ Before reader ATR asks, here's why Bedroom Floor is in red. It just lost all appeal. Good songs have come and gone in the time this song was here and frankly, it just made this song even more mediocre than it already was. Liam's falsetto really does not sound that good and I think he'd be better off not making music at all.

~ We lost four songs this week: our two countdown debuts and two songs that unfortunately left Hits 1 for good. We lost Gorgeous, which I'm not too surprised about given that it wasn't actually a single. We also lost Revenge, which is saddening because I really liked that song. Oh well. These things happen.


Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. Walk The Moon – One Foot
2. Macklemore/Kesha – Good Old Days
3. Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels – I Miss You
4. P!nk – Beautiful Trauma
5. Imagine Dragons – Whatever It Takes


Blurbstar
~ Halsey – Bad At Love jumped up to #2 this week. I can't really see this as a future #1 song. But Hits 1 does like Halsey, so anything is possible. But I would prefer if this did not hit #1, just because it's not a song that's really going to stick with me in the long run.

~ New to the Top 5, we have Camila Cabello – Havana and Maroon 5/SZA – What Lovers Do, neither of which I'm surprised by. They've both become pretty big hits and I wouldn't be surprised if they both hit #1 at some point. While they're not great songs, they're enjoyable at the moment.

~ Sam Smith – Too Good At Goodbyes took a little bit of a sudden drop right out of the Top 20. I guess this one won't be a massive hit here after all. At least it reached the Top 10.

~ Mono Mind – Save Me A Place also dropped out of the Top 20. I'm impressed with how well this one has done and I really don't want it to end now. If it can hold out for just a little while longer, then I'll be happy.

~ Zayn/Sia – Dusk Till Dawn and Bebe Rexha/Florida Georgia Line – Meant To Be managed to jump into the Top 30 this week, while Lauv – I Like Me Better thankfully dropped out of the Top 30. This is the way it should be.

~ Logic/Alessia Cara/Khalid – 1-800-273-8255 took a little bit of a drop this week unfortunately. This may very well be the end, which is unfortunate because I really like that song.

~ As far as the exits go, both of them were good, but I knew they wouldn't do very well in the long run. Frankly, I'm surprised they both lasted as long as they did.

  7. .: Ed Sheeran releasing a remix of Perfect? With Beyoncé? Hmmm...very interesting. I wonder how will that work out. Now the question is: could this be the song that will hopefully dethrone Rockstar for good?

    1. Hopefully. While I like Rockstar, it shouldn't be the face of music right now, Havana should be.

  8. Nice post Adrian! Do you think that Shape Of You and/or Castle On The Hill will last a year because of Hits 1's love of Ed Sheeran? Also, Stay had 4 weeks at #1, not just one.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I agree, Dylan.
    If Shape Of You and COTH haven't dropped out yet/to the bottom of the countdown, they probably won't for some time. These songs were cool in April and March. Now? No. Ugh....this will be both of these song's 12th month on the countdown, since they both entered in January.....

    1. I’ve listened to Sober Up and it’s much worse than Weak.

    2. My thoughts. Honestly, I'd just wish AJR would stop making music, because other than one or maybe two songs that I like, pretty much all of their music sucks in general.

    3. I need to listen to Sober Up, 'cause I have no opinion about it.

  35. I gotta tell this right now but both the Biggest Jump and Biggest Drop this week are completely unacceptable. IMO, Rockstar is currently the worst song on the countdown while No Promises is the best.

    ReplyDelete
  36. This was one of the worst weeks ever. It was the complete opposite of 09/09/17. The best song of the countdown has the Biggest Drop while the worst song had the Biggest Jump. I’m not happy about Kiwi debuting and I’m already sick of Find You. I was really upset about Why and Heartless leaving. I can not stand Galway Girl having another week at #1. This week has to be the worst week of 2017 IMO.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Also, HitBound wasn’t as good either because another AJR song debuted.

    2. Eh, I'd say this week was pretty mixed for me. I'm actually happy about Galway Girl hitting #1 again, though I didn't expect it. But yeah, I'm not thrilled about Rockstar having the Biggest Jump this week. I'm cool with the debuts, though.

      And unlike you, I'm not upset about Why leaving, seeing as it just wasn't a good song to begin (not by me and Adrian).

  52. Montavis: Umm, Perfect could easily get #1 next week, if you just pay attention to it's iTunes sales, it's airplay gains, and even strong streaming? Thanks to that Beyonce remix it has a shot to get to #1 next week. And why is everyone assuming every #1 could break/tie the record, it win't happen that much.

    Replies
    1. Actually, I've been paying attention to sales, streaming, etc. Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say that Perfect will be #1 within the next week or so thanks to the remix, finally dethroning Rockstar (hopefully for good).

      If Mi Gente became a hit because of Beyoncé, I'm almost certain Perfect will be a bigger hit for the same reason. Plus, it should make the Year-End List for 2018.
