/ dhill92

Hello, fam! I would like to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What’s that? Nobody cares? Oh well. So yesterday, I went to see the new movie, Captain Marvel and I enjoyed it. The movie was just awesome, so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already. As far as this week went, it was pretty interesting in a way.

New Entrants:
– History has been made on the Weekend Countdown as we have the highest debut ever. It comes from the return of the Jonas Brothers with their first single in six years, titled Sucker. The record for the highest debut was previously held by Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. So, I would like to say congratulations to them for achieving this accomplishment. I’m familiar with most of their music since the last decade, when they’ve been relevant at the time. Songs such as Burnin’ Up are some of my favorites from them. So as far as their new song goes, I think it’s solid. The instrumentation is pretty decent here. I like their vocals quite a bit and I think they sound good in the chorus. Though, I’m not really a big fan of the whistling that comes after that. That’s my only concern. But it doesn’t really affect my thoughts on the song overall. Now that it’s here, I have a feeling that it could end up rising to the #1 spot within the next couple of weeks of so. And I would be fine with that since I like the song.
It’s True, I’m A Sucker For Blurbs
– As far as our exit goes, good riddance to Sicko Mode. It’s about time the song left the countdown. I know I have an unpopular opinion when it comes to the song, but I don’t care. The song is garbage. I’m glad it didn’t last very long on the countdown. NEXT!
– Of course, 7 Rings enters the Top 5 this week. Just lovely. The only reason it is up there is because the song is still gaining momentum elsewhere, which is infuriating. I would hate to see this take #1 because it is a mess. It’s a shame that it’s still getting big, yet songs like Breathin’ were killed off early. 
– *sees #19* I’m not thrilled about this either. I’m So Tired takes a massive jump to the Top 20 this week. This song is not good. I am not going to be very happy if this ends up staying for a long time.
– Please Me took a big drop out of the Top 30 this week. I would be surprised by this given that the song is still gaining momentum elsewhere. But given that Hits 1 doesn’t really care for hip-hop, I’m not all that shocked.

Entrant Reviews:
– So, we have the return of NOTD with a song that’s been around for a while, with So Close. I’ve heard it on Venus quite a few times, and it’s a step up from I Wanna Know, I like the production better in this one. Overall, it’s a good song. But I don’t envision myself coming back to this one in a year or so.
– Next, we have another song that’s been around for some time. Newcomer FLETCHER makes an appearance with Undrunk. I talked about this a little while ago in a couple of my previous posts. There’s some stuff to like about this one such as her voice. I like the chorus and the lyrics are nicely written. I’m in love with this and I would like to see it debut on the countdown soon.
– Finally, we have more of Ariana Grande, this time with Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored. I will say it is not as bad as her current representation on the countdown. But her latest single is undesirable for the most part. I do like her voice here and she sounds better. But the production isn’t too good and I’m not feeling the lyrics. I’m sure it’ll end up making its debut at some point, which I’m not looking forward to.

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago:
Kesha featuring The Dap-Kings Horns – Woman: A female-empowerment anthem if you will, and I’m a sucker for those types of songs. I like the cool vibe here and Kesha sounds great. That’s all I have for this one.
Khalid – Young, Dumb, And Broke: Hits 1 picked up on this one a little late. It’s not something interesting, but the song does show that Khalid has a good voice, and the lyrics do have something going for it.
Marshmello featuring Anne-Marie – Friends: Probably the worst song EDM has to offer last year. I can’t stand the whole “friend-zone” theme and Anne-Marie doesn’t sound good. Marshmello put forth a weak effort in this one. Yeah, this is a mess.
Niall Horan – On The Loose: Flicker was pretty solid for the most part. This is one of the stand-out tracks from his album. It’s too bad that Hits 1 edited out the guitar solo, because that was the best part about the song.
