Jonas Brothers (6) – Week Of May 4, 2019

/ dhill92

Hello, fam! So, this is another late post as far as Hits 1 goes. I just wanna say that this past weekend marked my two-year anniversary of me starting this blog. I seriously can’t believe it’s been that long. Once again, I would like to say thank you for taking the time to reading my blog. You guys are special. Here’s to hoping that I continue my journey. So, Shawn Mendes hosted the countdown for the first weekend of May, mainly to promote his brand new single. As far as the countdown goes, we obviously have the same #1.

Biggest DRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Ally Brooke featuring Tyga – Low Key (–17)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Ciara – Thinkin Bout You (+9)

New Entrants:
– Brendon Urie has two songs making its debut this week. First, his band, Panic! At The Disco, have yet another single from Pray For The Wicked titled Dancing’s Not A Crime. One of the things I like about Brendon Urie is that he has a excellent voice and he shows it in his songs most of the time. This is no exception. The chorus here is great and I like the production quite a bit. However, I can do without the chipmunk voices in the background. I think they’re quite annoying, but that doesn’t affect my thoughts on the song overall. I do expect to see it sticking around for a while, because hello: Hits 1 still loves Brendon Urie. And I’m cool with that.

– Up next is the collaboration between K-Pop boy band BTS and Hits 1 favorite, Halsey with their latest single titled Boy With Luv. I did a brief review on the song when it debuted on Hit-Bound a month ago. To sum it all up, I’m not really a big fan of BTS and I don’t really buy the hype. I guess the production is okay. But my problem with the song is that they don’t sound good with their voices and I don’t like the verse after the chorus. I think he sounds obnoxious there. And Halsey herself didn’t add much to the song either. She only sings in the chorus, and that’s about it. Overall, this is just not a good song and I hope it doesn’t stay for a long time.

– And finally, we have the long-awaited return of Taylor Swift! And guess what? She is collaborating with Hits 1 favorite, Brendon Urie in their brand new single titled ME!. The last time we heard from Taylor was when she gave us Reputation. I thought was decent despite it not being nearly as good as 1989, which I think is her best album in my eyes. ME! goes in a different direction in contrast to Look What You Made Me Do, which I’m a little indifferent on. It’s a happy, upbeat song that reminds me of the singles from her 1989 album. She sounds good with her voice as always. Although Brendon Urie doesn’t add a whole lot to the song, I think he did well with his verse. These guys have great chemistry together. The lyrics aren’t great, but I do like the production and the catchy beat. Overall, this is a solid comeback for Taylor Swift. It’ll be interesting to see it hit #1 on Hits 1, which I’m sure it will.

Best Debut Of The Week: Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie – ME!

Blurbing’s Not A Crime
– As far as our exits go, Wait For You wasn’t really memorable, so I’m kinda happy about its departure. I was growing out of Natural, but it did have a nice tenure here. Undrunk left a little sooner than I expected. I thought it might end up becoming a sleeper hit, but it just didn’t happen.

– It was nice to see Low Key take a massive drop that weekend. That song was just a disappointment for Ally Brooke. She did recently release her latest single titled Lips Don’t Lie, which I think is better.

– On the note of drops, it appears that High Hopes is finally starting to die out. We’re getting close to its one-year anniversary of being on the countdown. I have a feeling it may end up lasting a year, much like some of the other songs did in the past.

– We get a brand new Top 10 entrant in the form of Walk Me Home. I’m not sure how I feel about this. While I do like the song, it is nowhere near her best work. I guess I’m okay with it staying there, but I’ll probably end up getting sick of it fairly quickly.

  • lovelytheband – Maybe, I’m Afraid

Entrant Reviews:
– Kygo replaces himself with one of his new singles, titled Carry On, which features Rita Ora. Kygo has not yet disappointed me with his music. This song is another example of how talented he is as a producer. It’s not quite as amazing as his other singles, but everything about this song still stands out. I love Rita’s voice. Overall, it’s a solid song.
– Immediately after that, we get the comeback single from Shawn Mendes after a short while. It comes as no surprise that this would be on Hit-Bound with him hosting the countdown that weekend. I’ll talk more about this in the next post, but the song reminds me a lot of There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back, which was a huge favorite of mine.
– Next, we have another artist who makes their comeback. Andy Grammer gives us his latest single titled Don’t Give Up On Me, which is taken from the Five Feet Apart movie soundtrack. I like the instrumentation in this one and his voice sounds really good. I can feel the emotion. I’ll have more on this when it debuts.
– Finally, we have P!NK with another new single from her recently released album Hurts 2B Human, by the name of Hustle. I would’ve preferred the title track over Hustle, but this is still decent. I kinda like her voice for the most part. I don’t see it sticking with me, but I wouldn’t be too disappointed if it debuts.

  • Martin Garrix featuring Macklemore and Patrick Stump – Summer Days

Song Reviews:
– We’ll start with the late Avicii with his posthumous release titled S.O.S., which features singer Aloe Blacc. The song shows why he was a great producer. I think the production is good, and I like Aloe’s voice. Overall, this is a solid song.
– Next, we have more of Why Don’t We with their new single called Don’t Change. I won’t say this is quite as good as their other singles, but I like what the song has to offer. I like the lyrics and I think these guys sound decent with their voice. Not much else I can say beyond that.
– Jonas Blue and Theresa Rex are collaborating with each other in their latest single titled What I Like About You. I can’t I’m liking this one too much. The production isn’t quite as good and I don’t really like her voice. But I do think the lyrics are well-written. 
– Remember Juice WRLD? Well, he’s back and this time around, he has a new single titled Fast. I’ll say it’s slightly better than Lucid Dreams, but that’s not really saying much. The production is underwhelming and I don’t like his voice, although it’s not annoying. Overall, I’m not feeling the song.
– The Chainsmokers are collaborating with Ty Dolla $ign and bülow in yet another new single they’ve recently released, by the name of Do You Mean. I think this is a solid song overall. While it’s not quite their best work, it shows me that these guys are still talented as producers. The beat here is kinda catchy. I like bülow’s voice and I think Ty Dolla $ign made a nice contribution to the song.
– Alan Walker makes his return, and he collaborates with Sabrina Carpenter in On My Way. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, the production is decent and it shows that Alan Walker is a solid EDM producer. But my problem is Sabrina doesn’t sound good with her voice and I think that affected my thoughts on the song. Yeah, this is okay, but Alan has done better.
– Finally, we get an interesting collaboration between EDM artist Martin Garrix, Macklemore, and Fall Out Boy member Patrick Stump in their new single called Summer Days. Speaking of summer days, we’re getting close to the hot weather. I do hope everyone here has plans for their summer vacation. Anyway, the song is a little different compared to what Martin Garrix has done in the past. I like the verses we get from Macklemore and Patrick. The production and the groove are nicely done. Yeah, this is solid all around.
