Hello, friends! So, my blog has reached 20,000 Pageviews! Again, thanks to everyone who’s been reading my blog! I’ll try to come up with a special post sometime next week. This was an interesting week for the most part. We have a new #1, which I’m very thrilled about, and we have a song that I’ve been waiting for that just arrived on Hit-Bound! You’ll see what I’m talking about later. Before we get to this week’s fresh 45, here are the songs exiting the countdown this week:
- Hey Violet – Hoodie (#45)
The Countdown:
Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: The All-American Rejects – Sweat (-15)
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso featuring Florida Georgia Line and Watt – Let Me Go (+14)
New Entrants
I’ll Drive A Million Miles, To Blurb With You Tonight
– For our exit, we’ve lost Hoodie, which was indeed more likable to the blogging community. A part of me kinda wishes that Hey Violet would have a respectable hit at least, since they seem to be getting better with each single they’ve released, but the public just isn’t buying into their music. Oh well, maybe another day.
– Before introducing It Ain’t Me, Spyder Harrison mentioned that Selena Gomez was with The Weeknd at Comic-Con where he launched his new comic called “Starboy”. I liked how Spyder said the name itself, in a superhero tone. I wonder, is The Weeknd going to get in the comic business soon? Let’s hope it doesn’t interfere with him still making music!
– Before introducing Attention, Spyder Harrison mentioned that Charlie Puth wrote this song about Bella Thorne during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres. I wonder, did he intend for this song to be about their relationship or was it just about her in general? Hmm…no one really knows.
– Just as I was growing into Sweat, it took a massive drop all the way down to #40 this week. Dang!
– Spyder Harrison mentioned upon introducing Get Low that Liam Payne’s sister just had a baby. Congrats on being an uncle, Liam!
– Before introducing Two Ghosts, Spyder Harrison mentioned that a girl lost it when she got tickets to see Harry Styles perform live. I’m guessing with that reaction, she seems to be a huge fan of him. I remember my cousin giving me tickets for a concert and though I didn’t have the same excitement as she did, I still very much enjoyed it. Someday, I like to go to another concert, which hopefully features a big name artist! That would be so cool!
– So, Spyder Harrison mentioned during his introduction for Friends that Justin Bieber is looking into acting. I wonder how will he work that out, what with him being as overexposed as he is right now. But then again, since people are tired of hearing his music at this point, maybe that’ll be the best choice for him. I wonder what genre he’ll start out with? Hmm…we’ll just have to find out!
– Before introducing Fetish, Spyder Harrison once again talked about Selena Gomez’s relationship with The Weeknd. He mentioned that both herself The Weeknd would take vacations so they could spend time together. I wish there were more couples like this who would do things like this together.
– Three of our four debuts from last week did nothing but dropped this week. Meanwhile, only Let Me Go jumped this week, and it was a big jump, too. It’s good to see this song starting to catch on.
– I’m not thrilled to see that Praying is just going to continue to drop like this. Just a few weeks ago, it was #5. Since then, it’s been falling quite steadily. Oh well, at least it managed to hit the Top 5.
– Don’t even get me started on Body Like A Back Road jumping back into the Top 20. I can’t believe I jinxed it when I said I wanted it to leave last week.
– Okay, so the person from the hotline crisis talked with Spyder Harrison about the song from Logic, which has actually helped more people. As I’ve said, it’s nice to have a song that people can relate to. Plus, it’s been getting better for me with each listen.
– This is the first time in seemingly forever that There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back is NOT in the Top 5. It had a great run while it lasted. I’m thankful this managed to spend 5 weeks at #1.
– So, Spyder Harrison mentioned during his introduction for What About Us that P!NK’s biggest critic is actually her daughter. I mean, really? My guess is, she probably listens to her music a lot and tells her which song is the best, heh.
– Speaking of our Top 5, we have Sorry Not Sorry back up there. Now if I’m being honest, my interest in this song is starting to wane a bit, as you can see. Other than some cool lines and some pretty good lyrics, the chorus in this one can be painful for some ears, as well as mine. I’m starting to get some mixed opinions about this one, also. And bad news for some, it could potentially hit #1 at some point, since it’s still gaining elsewhere. Me, personally, I’d be okay with it. If anything, I’ll take it over Strip That Down any day.
– And that brings us to our #1 song this week, in which Ed Sheeran manages to reclaim the top spot once again, this time with Galway Girl. I’m very pleased to see it get there as I consider Galway Girl to be a more superior single off of Divide. Despite this song not hitting big elsewhere and its successor is waiting in the wings, Hits 1 somehow managed to get this on the countdown, because they love Ed Sheeran. With the year he’s been having so far, I’m not a surprised. But I’m definitely happy that it hit #1, and I’m hoping it stays there for a while.

– On this week’s edition of Hit-Bound, we have more Bruno Mars once again, and this time, he brings us his new single titled Chunky. Pretty much everyone wanted this as his next single off of 24K Magic, and for a very good reason. It definitely has that funky vibe to it much like some of his other songs off the album. I’ll have more on this when it debuts. But yeah, I’m definitely loving this at the moment!

Nick Jonas – Bacon: It’s quite a funny song if you ask me, and I do love how Nick Jonas used a kitchen set to perform this song in the 2016 VMAs.
Bruno Mars – 24K Magic: Ah yes, Bruno Mars’s return to music. I call this Uptown Funk 2.0. It’s really sad that, even after the long gap between this and its predecessor, some people are still not too fond of his funky new sound.

I think this week was a improvement as far as our #1 is concerned.I made some color changes to my blog. What do you think? I´m really just messing around with it right now.
