New Entrants
~ We got resurrections from Martin Garrix – Animals and Lorde – Team, so only 2 new entrants.
~ Hot Chelle Rae – Don't Say Goodnight should've debuted a long time ago. I'm already starting to get over it. I'll try to enjoy it.
~ 5 Seconds Of Summer – She Looks So Perfect wasn't that good to begin with. But I started to get into it. It's a boy band. And I like boy bands. She Looks So Perfect isn't the best song off their She Looks So Perfect - EP, but it's good.
I Blurb You To Be Here Now
~ All of this week's exits (besides Take Me Home) left too early. Especially Find You. Fun fact: Find You and I Want It All both debuted on the same week.
~ I enjoyed listening from #20 to #11.
~ Imagine Dragons – On Top Of The World is the only Top 10 song I want to see hit #1. We need some more good Top 10 songs! Get #13 in!
~ When I said Oh Honey – Be Okay and Lady Gaga – G.U.Y. deserved higher rankings, I didn't mean a 1-spot-jump.
~ It looks like AJR – I'm Ready is finally going to exit the countdown. It's been crowned "Worst Song On The Countdown".
~ I'm not even a little sick of Avicii/Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up. Dance music just can't get old.
~ Here are the songs I would love to see exit the countdown next week:
