New Entrants
~ Getting the worst one over with, we have Sober Up by AJR featuring Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. As I've said before numerous times, AJR is pretty bad. I'm sure they're nice guys and all. But their music sucks ass and this is something they've been pretty consistent with throughout their career so far. I'm Ready was one of the worst songs of 2014 and Weak was one of the worst songs of 2017. Everything in between was mediocre at best. They've never had a good song. Sober Up is no exception. I do think the song is more tolerable than Weak as the production is not as obnoxious. But the songwriting here is not good. The lyrics are actually pretty bad. The vocals are not that good either. The instrumentation is kind of bland. The use of what I believe is a cello does not sound good and it gets annoying after a while. I'm not really sure why they brought in Rivers Cuomo. I don't see very many similarities between AJR and Weezer as far as their music goes. But honestly, none of this comes as a surprise. AJR is one of the few bands that consistently releases bad music, single after single. It's quite impressive. Overall, I'm not a fan of this and I'm hoping it doesn't stay long. It's bad enough that it apparently got enough votes to debut.
~ Our next two debuts were both named the best song on Hit-Bound at some point in time. One of them is Troye Sivan with My My My. As you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of Troye. He's one of those artists that I've been a fan since the beginning. I loved watching his YouTube videos. Then he released songs like Happy Little Pill and Wild, both of which I loved. After that, he got pretty big with his song Youth, which was successful here on Hits 1. I really like that one. Then came the album Blue Neighborhood as well as a remake of Wild with Alessia Cara. My My My is the lead single off his new album, which should be coming out sometime this year. I think this song is really enjoyable. It has a lot of life to it. Troye really shows off his voice here and I love the production. He's a very good songwriter and this song is no exception. The lyrics are really good. All in all, I really like this song. It's fun and catchy and I hope it does well.
~ Finally, we have the best debut of the week coming from Justin Timberlake, who recently headlined the Super Bowl halftime show. As I said in my whole post about it, I enjoyed it and I think some people were a little too critical and failed to see the amount of work that still went into it. But that's just me. I can appreciate a good performance, even if it's not the best. This week, he brings Say Something, the follow-up to Filthy (which I'm mixed on) and Supplies (which I don't like). I've listened to the whole album and I think Say Something is the best song on there. This is the kind of song I was hoping for when Timberlake said he'd be going back to his roots. This is what I like. The country influences sound really good. I love the use of the acoustic guitar. The production is fantastic. The lyrical content seems limited, but it doesn't take much away from the song. The vocals here are fantastic. Timberlake sounds amazing and I love the contribution from Chris Stapleton. I think they sound really good together. Overall, fantastic song. This is a collab that works really well and I'm so glad this song is getting acknowledged and popular as opposed to songs like Supplies. Here's to hoping this does well.

Hit-Bound
~ Here is the Hit-Bound list.
- Kesha/The Dap-King Horns – Woman
- Alan Walker/Noah Cyrus/Digital Farm Animals – All Falls Down
- Welshly Arms – Legendary
- Niall Horan – On The Loose (DEBUT)
- Khalid – Young, Dumb, and Broke
- Imagine Dragons – Whatever It Takes
- Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels – I Miss You
- Wild Things – Don't Wanna Feel It
- The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar – Pray For Me (DEBUT)
- Spencer – Whatever
- Keala Settle – This Is Me
- Post Malone – I Fall Apart
- Rudimental/Jess Glynne/Macklemore/Dan Caplen – These Days (DEBUT)
- Portugal. The Man – Live In The Moment
~ I think On The Loose is enjoyable. It's pretty upbeat similar to Slow Hands, though this song is a little bit faster. As I've said before, I like Niall's music. However, I can't really see this as being that big of a hit. I feel like it'll follow the path of Too Much To Ask where it does decently well here, but isn't that big everywhere else.
~ Pray For Me is very similar to Starboy, which I still love to this day. My dad heard it for the first time on the radio recently. He immediately asked if it was from the movie Black Panther, which it is. It seems very fitting for that movie, which is probably why he assumed the song was in it. I love the dark vibe and the production. The Weeknd sounds great and I love Kendrick Lamar's verse. He's still one of the most talented rappers these days. All in all, fantastic song and I hope it debuts soon.
~ Rudimental have yet to really disappoint me. They've had a couple of songs do reasonably well on the countdown in the past like Feel The Love and Lay It All On Me. I think These Days has a nice collection of artists on vocals. It's an interesting collab that works. Jess Glynne sounds really good. I love her voice. Dan Caplen and Macklemore sound good as well. The production is pretty good for the most part. I like this song and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it on the countdown.
~ After more listens, This Is Me has become one of my favorites right now. It's different, but it's cool and I love that Hits 1 picked up on it. The production is really good and her voice is phenomenal. Everything about this song works very well. The fact that this is from a soundtrack for a musical is irrelevant because this is true talent. I judge based on quality.
Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar – Pray For Me
2. Keala Settle – This Is Me
3. Rudimental/Jess Glynne/Macklemore/Dan Caplen – These Days
4. Imagine Dragons – Whatever It Takes
5. Alan Walker/Noah Cyrus/Digital Farm Animals – All Falls Down
Blurb Something
~ Not much changed with the Top 5. Charlie Puth holds at #1 with How Long, which I'm perfectly fine with. I prefer it over our #2 and #3 songs. Seriously though, Bad At Love at #2? Really? I get that Hits 1 is obsessed with Halsey, but this song has been here for a while now. I don't think it should still be this high. It's still decent though. It just faded on me a little bit.
~ New to the Top 10, we have NF with Let You Down. I'm glad to see this song is doing well. It's nothing amazing. But I like the message behind it and the vocals are really good aside from the high-pitched voice, which is a little unpleasing to the ears.
~ Even though MAX/Gnash – Lights Down Low missed Hits 1's Top 45 of 2017 (and I'm sure it was close), I have a feeling we'll be seeing it in Hits 1's Top 45 of 2018. I'm glad to see it gaining more success outside of Hits 1 and I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the Top 10 soon.
~ So apparently, Kelly Clarkson is joining The Voice along with Alicia Keys returning, and Adam Levine and Blake Shelton remaining. I've seen numerous ads and commercials about it and they play Love So Soft in the background, which is one of her worst songs in her whole career. Not exactly the best choice because it doesn't show how talented she really is. Hopefully she's a good coach. I think this is something she's qualified for since she was once in the position of the contestants when she competed on American Idol.
~ As far as our exits go, I find it funny that Filthy and Hot Damn left on the same week since Hot Damn has some Justin Timberlake vibes. It was a good song while it lasted. It did last longer than I thought it would. I actually predicted that Filthy would be replaced by Say Something. This is pretty much a replica of Perfect Illusion. It was the big comeback release leading up to the Super Bowl halftime show and it ended up flopping big time. Seriously, this song didn't even reach the Top 20. Finally, we have Attention, which I still really like. I don't think I'll ever get sick of it. There's something about it that just makes it such a catchy song. I'm glad it was successful and it's nice to see How Long following in its footsteps.
~ The lack of blurbs is the result of not very much happening this week. Aside from our debuts, not much happened at all. Our Biggest Jump and DROPS!!!... of the Week were under ten spots. So there's not very much to talk about this week.
~ Since there's not much to talk about, I thought I'd mention that you guys are free to follow me on social media. I know some of you have followed me on Instagram (@the_adrian_carrazco). I'm perfectly fine with that. You can friend request me on Facebook if you want. You can follow me on Twitter (@AdrianCarrazco_), though I don't tweet. So it seems kind of pointless. I only check Twitter a couple of times per year. But I do have an account. I just don't use it. For other things to follow, I already talked about my Spotify playlist, which I will update every now and then as new songs come in and old songs go out. You should definitely follow this blog if you don't already. If you look on the web version of the site on the right-hand side, there's a feature that shows all of this blog's followers and there's a button to follow the site. I don't really know what that does. I think it just notifies you when I post something. But I like seeing who all of my followers are. I'll try to add something on the side to include all of my social links. But you are free to follow me on anything I just mentioned.

First! And if I'm being honest I think These Days might debut the countdown this week.
ReplyDeleteSecond because Chase had to comment on another stupid account.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
No, no Dylan, please stop cussing.
DeleteDid I cuss in that comment? No. Therefore, that reply is useless.
DeleteStupid is not bad language.
DeleteI agree with WAMB10.
DeleteOops.
DeleteNice post!
ReplyDelete"New to the Top 10, we have NF with Let You Down. I'm glad to see this song is doing well. It's nothing amazing. But I like the message behind it and the vocals are really good aside from the high-pitched voice, which is a little unpleasing to the ears."
ReplyDeleteWell, this song is gonna hit #1 on pop radio pretty soon, which is great because it's good to have some real hip-hop represented among today's trap-dominated industry. I do agree that the high-pitched vocals are unnecessary, but it doesn't really harm the song.
Also, all of your top 5 are great, especially the purples. And still great to see Thunder going strong! I probably will never get sick of that song.
I didn't know you like Thunder.
Delete*liked
DeleteI love Thunder. It's one of my favorite songs of last year, and I still listen to it a lot today. So much that it's better than Believer and Whatever It Takes.
DeleteCool. BTW, I got approved on Pulse.
Delete^He left Pulse for a while, unfortunately.
DeleteOh, ok.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
Delete^what?
DeleteDylan: Cool. Just remember what I told you a couple weeks ago.
Delete.: Please don’t tell me anything started out of that RT post, because I’m afraid something did. But hopefully I won’t be gone for too long.
Parker: I already made an introduction thread.
DeleteOh, nice. I’ll try to look at it when I get home.
DeleteNothing really happened because of your post, Parker. Only one reply from Coco, who was glad nothing major was going on.
DeleteCan you guys not talk about Pulse on here? K, thanks.
DeleteAnd why is that?
DeleteI shouldn't have to explain why, you should already know how I feel about *them*
DeleteEverybody calm down!!! I got good news, Janelle Monae released two new singles called "Make Me Feel" and "Django Jane."
DeleteNo one fucking cares.
DeleteMiles, calm down!!!
DeleteNot until you and ATR fucking go and leave and never come back.
DeleteBut me and ATR are friends. And you are, too.
DeleteI am not your friend, I hate you I hate you so fucking much, I wish you would go away.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteGreat post and I really like a lot of those playlist songs!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteI do agree that Pray For Me sounds similar to Starboy, especially after I took another listen to the song. This sound fits him well. Oh and BTW, I do plan on going to see Black Panther this week. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and just a heads up for everyone. I will not be covering the Hits 1 countdown this week as I have to be at work early Saturday. Can someone fill me in to provide the countdown, please?
I guess I'll see what I can do.
DeleteI’ll try, I guess.

New music alert: Imagine Dragons - Next To Me
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that’ll debut HitBound this week.
DeleteHopefully not. I listened to it and it's not good.
DeleteI agree with Adrian, because it’s not on the voting list.
DeleteI agree with Adrian, it’s worse than Whatever It Takes.
DeleteI haven't heard it, but can I ask what's wrong with Imagine Dragons – Next To Me?
DeleteYeah. Next To Me better not debut Hit Bound. I gave that song a listen and it is horrible.
DeleteMontavis: I listened to a second time and it's actually not that bad. It's a very nice song because I actually listened to the lyrics this time around. It was very well written. The production though is not that interesting. It's kind of like Unsteady by X Ambassadors. So I'm a little split at the moment. But it seems to be a grower.
DeleteAdrian: I never heard this song before.
DeleteI am going to also be posting my personal charts on Pulse.
ReplyDeletehttp://pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/174292/dylans-top-45-songs-week
So, Hits 1 updated their voting poll. Here's are the songs available to vote:
ReplyDeleteWalk On Water by Thirty Seconds To Mars
Mine by Bazzi
Friends by Marshmello featuring Anne-Marie
Unavailable to vote:
Too Much To Ask by Niall Horan
...Ready For It? by Taylor Swift
Glad it’s not Havana.
DeleteLol Savior is still not on there.
DeleteAlso, three Hit-Bound entrants and 2 exits? Wait...don't tell me Whatever It Takes is leaving.
I want I Fall Apar to leave HitBound this week. Also, if I Miss You leave HitBound, it’s likely gonna be my Lights Over Paris Award this year.
Delete*Apart
DeleteIggy Azalea's Savior.
DeleteI really hate that song, I really hope it doesn’t debut.
DeleteAll Falls Down better not leave HitBound either.
DeleteStop double posting, I've said this too many times for you to stop, why do you constantly have to do it?
DeleteNo, All Falls Down needs to leave Hit Bound.
DeleteNo, you need to leave.
DeleteMiles, relax.
DeleteHow about no?
DeleteWho is leaving?
DeleteNo one.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteBoth of you leave away from this blog, all your spam and troll comments do is make people hate you *two*
DeleteUh... Miles, we don't want to.
DeleteWell too bad I'm forcing you to, now get out of here or else.
DeleteNo Miles, I don't want to.
DeleteIt's not about what YOU want it's about what WE want, and what WE want is for you and ATR to leave.
DeleteMILES, I’M NOT LEAVING!!!!!!
DeleteWHAT?! ATR DIDN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING!!!!!
DeleteAnonymous, calm down!!! And Miles, that's very rude to say to Anonymous.
DeleteAnd you too ATR, calm down.
DeleteI don't care, I want you gone.
Delete“No, All Falls Down needs to leave HitBound.”
Delete*smacks face* You only say that because it has Noah Cyrus. -_-
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the Hit Bound spins so far?
ReplyDeleteAlso, another quick heads up: my Hits 1 countdown review post will NOT be out this weekend and it'll be delayed. Instead, my 50,000 Pageview Special will come out early Saturday morning in its place. I'm pretty close to being done with that one, so it should be ready by then.
ReplyDeleteWORLD PREMIERE ALERT:
ReplyDelete5 Seconds of Summer - Want You Back
Post Malone/Ty$ - Psycho
Both songs are coming tomorrow on radio, and they will impact pop very soon.
Even if they are, it's not gonna matter that much, they'll most likely be a come and go song that'll be forgotten in 2-3 months. These songs are not gonna be major smashes, even on radio.
DeleteThe Post Malone one could be somewhat big.
DeleteNO, PLEASE DON’T!!!!!
DeleteAnonymous, relax.
DeleteNew Music Alert: Janelle Monáw - Make Me Feel
ReplyDeleteIt is a really catchy song, and I like it.
*Monáe
DeleteAnd I want this song to debut HitBound next week!!!
DeleteNo, it has no chance because no one knows of her other than her non-presence on We Are Young.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteNot until you and ATR leave. Delete your accounts, log off and never come here ever again. We are sick and tired of your BS on this comment section with shit no one cares about and no one wants to hear.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteIt impacts Pop next week, so we don't exactly know yet. But time will tell.
DeleteNO!!!!! I DON’T WANT CHASE AND ATR TO FUCKING LEAVE, I’M GOING TO MISS THEM IF THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteWell we're not gonna miss you if you leave.
DeleteMiles: That is not part of the music conversation. . was talking about Janelle Monae's new song, Make Me Feel which will impact pop this Tuesday.
DeleteAnonymous: Would you please stop cussing and calm down right now!!!
No we're not no one really fucking cares
Delete#1 Recommendation for Hits 1 Marian Hill - Subtle Thing
ReplyDeleteMarian Hill will only be a one-hit wonder for Down, this will do nothing.
DeleteBut Miles, I think Subtle Thing should debut HitBound, 'cause it sure will be on Hits 1 at some point.
DeleteNo it won't. It's not all about YOU, and frankly I don't see how this will ever touch Hits 1, let alone the Charts at all.
DeleteActually, I can see it having an impact. Well, not right away. It'll probably need another TV commercial to make it happen. But yeah, I doubt it'll make Hits 1.
DeleteSince Down didn’t make Hits 1, this song probably won’t make it either.
DeleteWell, it will!!!
DeleteThat song might be on Alt Nation soon.
DeleteNot it won't Chase.
Delete*No
DeleteMiles, don't let ATR leave yet. He is the only chance we will be able to keep getting updates on the countdown this weekend in case we are late for it.
ReplyDeleteDylan is right. Like I said, I need someone to fill in for me this week because I have to work early Saturday.
DeleteI'll post the Hitbound List like usual cause I get to listen to it on my way to work but I'll be working during the countdown as well
DeleteDylan: That's nice of you.
DeleteMontavis: Why do you have to work early Saturday?
Anonymous: That's cool that you're working during the countdown!
This weeks Billboard is one of the worst ever. 88, 87, 43, 31, 49, and 6 are very displeasing. Meanwhile, Jack Farrell won't be happy about Mine at all.
ReplyDeleteHow about me!!!
DeleteThis is t about you, shut up and go away.
Delete*not
DeleteCountdown predictions:
ReplyDeleteExits:
Ready for it
Too much to ask
Entrants:
Sick Boy
Pray For Me
Biggest Jump:
Sober Up
Biggest Drop:
End Game or One Foot
#1: How Long
Hitbound Entrants:
Friends
Mine
Walk On Water
Hitbound Dropout:
Whatever It Takes (to debut next week)
I predict only one dropout because Mine is so short they could have 15 songs on Hitbound this week
Ummm..... End Game is not dropping this week, but One Foot is. And How Long will not be #1 this week, GOD will.
DeleteAnd WYB will debut HitBound this week also, so WIT will debut the countdown this week, joining SB and PFM.
DeleteAnd I Miss You will leave HitBound as well!!!
DeleteAnd I want you to leave.
DeleteIt probably will only be 15 songs to get a whole hour in.
DeleteNice predictions but I really hope Sober Up doesn’t jump.
DeleteWAMB10: I think Sober Up will.
DeleteUh oh, it looks like Vance Joy's "Nation of Two" is pacing for 235-4,000K pure sales, 900-7,000K total units, so it might be #1 next week on both Top Album Sales and Billboard 200.
ReplyDeleteNo it won't.

ReplyDeleteNO!!!!! DON’T YOU DARE LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI’M GONNA MISS THEM IF THEY DO LEAVE!!!!! I DON’T WANNA MISS THEM!!!!!
DeleteToo bad, go find somewhere else and make new friends wherever you go, 'cause none of us are gonna miss you.
DeleteAnonymous, calm down. It's okay. I know that this is hard, but Miles isn't being nice to me and ATR. So just chill out already, would you?
DeleteStop lying Chase, I know it's you who keeps pretending to be ATR and some anonymous, I'm not an idiot like you.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteMiles, okay I will not leave and will not lie.
DeleteNo, you will leave and never come back.
DeleteWHY DO YOU WANT THEM TO LEAVE?!
DeleteBecause you people are annoying the Hell out of everyone with your useless spam that no one cares about.
DeleteAnonymous, calm down. And by the way Miles, that's not right to tell them to leave!!!
DeleteNo it is right, especially when you do nothing but spam and troll people and won't leave us the fuck alone.
DeleteAnd Miles it's your not you.
DeleteMiles: I'm not a troll, I'm a real person.
DeleteYou're a fucking moron is what you are then, you're an idiot who needs to go away.
Delete6ix9ine's album is out. Fuck my life.
ReplyDeleteDylan, how about by saying 6ix9ine's album is out, period, not f*** my life. Even though you hate that album doesn't mean you need to curse.
DeleteYes he can, who the fuck are you to say he can't? If he wants to curse he fucking can.
DeleteSomeone delete Miles's comment for me please???
DeleteSomeone delete Chase's comments for me please???
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteShut up, I want Adrian to delete his comments, Hell I wish Adrian could ban him and ATR from commenting/viewing this blog, because their comments are sheer cancer.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
DeleteI'm not evil, nor am I an idiot like you, Chase and ATR.
DeleteAnonymous, please do not call him evil.
DeleteATR, please go away and fuck off.

DeleteExcuse me Miles, ATR and I don't want to go away, and btw that's rude to say.
DeleteAlright, fam. I'll be working on my 50,000 Pageview Special all day. In the meantime, here this week's American Top 40 post. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI am afraid One Foot is going down big time this week. Big shame that America underrates all good and overrates all bad. They don't know what a good song is anymore. they lost that privilege. So far, 2018 music looks AWFUL.

All Falls Down
So, I know I have been extremely MIA for months, but I am currently the music director of a CHR (current hit radio) radio station. We play a mix of pop, alternative, R&B, country, and hip-hop. We program the station based on the Billboard Radio Songs chart and the All Access Top 40, Country, & Urban charts. In our programming software we create a clock that pulls music from a variety of folders (Hot, Medium, New Music, Recurrent, Recurrent 2, Extras). Recurrent, if your are not aware, means older songs. The one thing I have learned the most is that I cannot be bias when programming a station. For example, I do not like New Rules by Dua Lipa very much, but it is number 1 on pop radio so I have to play it a ton. Also, it workes the other way too. I love the song Perfect by Topic & Ally Brooke from Fifth Harmony, but since it is not on the charts (yet!!) I can't put it in Hot. Here are the songs we have in each playlist.

DeleteI heard Want You Back on my way back home from work.
ReplyDeleteI also heard Whatever playing on Hits 1.
ReplyDeleteAm I going crazy? Did Hits 1 actually play Believer on a segment that wasn't the countdown???
ReplyDeleteIt was the first time which seems like forever.
DeleteI wanna ya something about Miles’ comments; that is literally what I’m thinking. In fact, these really stupid arguments have been the reason I’ve been so inactive. If Chase and ATR aka the guy who tries to hide his identity by using Anonymous could leave, I’d probably come back. So Chase and ATR, follow these simple steps; delete your accounts, go away, and unbookmark (is that a word) these pages. That simple, really.
ReplyDeleteGood evening all!
ReplyDeleteHitbound List (part 1):
Portugal. The Man - Live In The Moment
Marshmello/Anne-Marie - Friends (Debut)

I’m surprised Want You Back didn’t debut.
DeleteYa probably next week unless it goes straight to the countdown. Will be interesting to see which of the 4 dropouts from the last 2 weeks (Sick Boy, Pray For Me, Whatever, and I Miss You) debut this week. I think whichever ones don't probably will next week cause they are all still on the voting list.
