Blurbs
– The only thing that I’ll be doing this week is just talking about the exits. Last week, we saw the departure of Sucker by Jonas Brothers. It was the comeback single from them that became a massive hit. I liked that song overall and it hasn’t really faded on me. I’m glad it was a success. As far as this week’s exits go, we bid adieu to four songs. First off, good riddance to My Type by Saweetie. That one was just a mess with her obnoxious voice and terrible production. I was starting to grow out of What Am I by Why Don’t We, so I don’t have any complaints about it leaving. Nice To Meet Ya was a flop elsewhere except for Hits 1, and it’s pretty sad since I enjoyed that one. I think it’s one of Niall’s better songs. But the one exit that I’ll mostly miss is my #1 favorite song of 2019, Dancing With A Stranger. The collaboration turned out very well for both Sam and Normani and I’m very happy that this became a success. Thank you for your time & service on this countdown. You will be missed.
