New Entrants:
– So, we’ve got two new entrants to cover for this week. First, we have newcomer Austin Brown with the song In Betweenin’. I feel like the song had potential to be solid, but overall it didn’t quite do it for me. The production is good and I like the beat. But Austin’s voice is just a little too childish, and that’s what bought it down for me. I don’t have much more I can say beyond that. So yeah, the song is okay. But his voice just needs a little work.

– Next is the comeback single from P!NK after about a year. This time, she brings us Walk Me Home. I’ve been a fan of P!NK ever since she was relevant at the start of the 21st Century. Songs like Get The Party Started, Raise Your Glass, and Just Give Me A Reason are all very good songs. Walk Me Home is a little weaker compared to those songs, though it’s definitely a good song for the most part. I like her voice as usual, and the lyrics are pretty solid. The production is good, though not quite as amazing. It may not stick with me in the long run, but right now I’m enjoying this.

Best Debut Of The Week: P!NK – Walk Me Home

Blurb Me Home In The Dead Of Night
– We’ll start with our two exits. First, Sue Me wasn’t very interesting, so I’m kinda glad that it left. But then there’s Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, which was a good comeback single for the Backstreet Boys. It was nice to hear from them again after a long while. The song showed me that they can still make good music and their new album is pretty solid. It had a good run while it lasted. The song will be missed by me.

– And just like that, the Jonas Brothers hit #1 in its third week with Sucker. They have now tied the record for the fastest rise to #1 with Adele – Hello, which first accomplished this feat on November 14, 2015. I have a feeling now that it’s taken the top spot, it’s going to be there for a long while. I really don’t see any song that’ll be able to compete with it (except for maybe Who Do You Love). I do like the song for the time being, so I’m perfectly fine with this.

– Speaking of Who Do You Love, the song has now reached the Top 5. And with that, The Chainsmokers have replaced themselves in the Top 10. And I’m cool with this because I love the song overall. Normally, I would envision this one being a #1 song at some point in time. Well, I think it still could. But because of our current #1 song, it’ll probably be difficult. We’ll see how its tenure in the Top 5 plays out.

– On the note of other Top 5 entrants, we get a re-entry from…High Hopes? Seriously? I mean, don’t get me wrong. I still like the song. But I think this is becoming a little too much for a song that’s died out elsewhere. But of course, Hits 1 just can’t seem to let go of anything related to Panic! At The Disco. Oh well.

– Also in the Top 10 is the re-entry of 7 Rings (Blech) and the arrival of Bad Liar (Yahoo!). I’m glad that Bad Liar was able to enter the Top 10 unlike Machine, which was a mess. It’s probably the best song off of Origins. I hope it ends up staying up there for a while.

– Shallow’s second run on the countdown is getting off to a good start, as it has taken a massive jump into the Top 20 this week. It’s nice to have the song gain back some momentum after hitting #1 on Billboard Hot 100.

– It’s about time 2002 made that big drop. Even though it was only a small biggest drop, this was overdue for some time. I would appreciate it if the song started to leave soon.

Entrant Reviews:
– Remember Ciara? Well, she’s back. And this time, she brings us her new single titled Thinkin Bout You. This song is a jam. I love her voice in this one and the production. Everything about the song is just catchy. I’ll have more words for when it inevitably debuts.
– Next is a song that’s been around for a while. It’s from Lizzo and she brings us some Juice. This song is pretty cool. It reminds me of the throwback music that I would hear from the late 70’s and early 80’s. Her voice fits well for that type of song. I hope to see it debut soon.

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago:
Panic! At The Disco – Say Amen (Saturday Night): This was the big return of Brendon Urie and company, and their current countdown run is still going strong. I love the way it opens up, and from there everything else would get interesting. The way Brendon can hit those high notes is just mesmerizing.
Demi Lovato – Tell Me You Love Me: This is Demi’s best song from the title album. She truly shows what she is capable of here, and the lyrical content is well written. The song deserved better, but it did have a nice run on Hits 1.

Bazzi – Mine: This is the shortest song to ever debut on the countdown. There’s quite a bit I like about this, from his voice all the way down to the interesting beat.
Bad Wolves – Zombie: Ah, yes. The cover of the original song from The Cranberries. They definitely did a nice job with this one. They remind me of Three Days Grace in a way. It was nice to see them make a tribute to the late Dolores O’Ridian.
