New Entrants
– To kick off our two new arrivals this week, we have more Halsey with her second single off of Hopeless Fountain Kingdom titled Bad At Love. I’ve already talked about this one on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown two weeks ago when it debuted. But to recap, it’s a step up from Now Or Never in large part because this song has more to it in terms of the production, and Halsey shows off her vocals much better here. I’m hoping this will be a hit for her as a solo artist.

– Our second debut comes from returning band Maroon 5 in their collaboration with newcomer SZA in their new single What Lovers Do. I talked about this one also. Now to sum it up, it’s a huge step up from the mediocre Don’t Wanna Know and Cold. The lyrics are so much better than that of its predecessor. We’ll see if this becomes a hit or not.

Tryna’ Do What Blurbers Do, Ooh!
– So, we had two exits this week. Most Girls dropped out after doing virtually nothing here, not even cracking above #30 while spending six straight weeks at that position. Looks like the public didn’t quite catch on with Hailee Steinfeld since Starving became a sleeper hit. We also lost Get Low, which shockingly failed to gain any sort of steam especially given that both Zedd & Liam Payne were coming off their two biggest hits of the year, but I’m okay with it leaving.

– Ryan Seacrest mentioned upon introducing Lights Down Low that MAX is making music that allows pets to be more relaxed. I wonder is he moving towards making some slow songs to help them? Hmm…

– Yes, folks. You’re reading it right. I have three songs in orange. They’re so bad they make my ears scream. I’ve already talked about Fetish last week, and don’t even get me started on the absolutely putrid Body Like A Back Road. Good thing the latter is continuing to drop, and I’m hoping it stays that way. Also, Mi Gente by J. Balvin featuring Willy William is now officially in the orange tier. That song has only gotten worse every time I hear it, and today I’m calling it like it is: it’s a complete abomination to Latin music in general. I absolutely cannot stand that annoying loop and these two artists have no personality of any kind. I’m going to stop ranting about it right here, but here’s to hoping it leaves soon.

– Speaking of drops, I’m also thrilled about the big drop of Redbone. While it’s not as bad as the other three songs I just mentioned, it’s still underwhelming to say the least. It helps that it’s declining elsewhere, too. Thankfully, it won’t be much longer with us.

– On the opposite end, we have Feel It Still and 1-800-273-8255 both getting big jumps this week, the former which is still gaining some huge momentum. The latter I’m quite surprised about, but apparently its performance at the VMAs might have cemented its status as a hit, and it looks like it’s going to make the Year-End list if it’s lucky.

– So, I recently watched Kesha perform Praying on Ellen, and she absolutely killed that performance. I loved how she showed emotion and put a lot of heart into it. That was probably one of the most divine performances I’ve ever seen on live television. With that being said, this song just continues to get better with time. I’m quite surprised (and happy) that it’s still somewhat gaining traction elsewhere right now. Let’s hope it keeps rising.

– Not much has changed in terms of the Top 5. And yet again, Charlie Puth holds the #1 spot for the fourth week in a row. It won’t be much long until Taylor Swift enters that territory, but you never really know how long Attention can stay at #1. Slow Hands has a chance to get there, what with it still somewhat gaining on radio and (to an extent) sales.
