Zedd (9) Week Of May 26, 2018

Hey guys! I hope my fellow bloggers are having a great Memorial Day weekend. First off, I have some bad news for you guys. Due to the amount of bullying on Adrian's countdown blog, I decided to quit commenting on his blog. However, I will keep posting my blog each week. If you'd like to make comments here, I'm happy to read them and love sharing thoughts with other fans of the countdown!

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

The Chainsmokers/Coldplay - Something Just Like This (1 of 3 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I did not expect the big jump into the Top 20 from Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign - Psycho (+14). I've had enough of Post Malone's music.

The fact that Camila Cabello - Never Be The Same (-19) having the biggest drop this week all the way out of the Top 20 from the Top 10 makes me wanna scream. That song was Camila's best song. It needs to be back in the Top 10 anytime soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Dua Lipa - New Rules: It re-entered the countdown this week and I'm glad to see that. Let's see if this should get another shot to do great on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night): I don't want it to drop. I'd like it ti be in the Top 3 next week.
4. Niall Horan - On The Loose: It debuted the Top 5 this week. Now, on to my opinion. This song is pretty much upbeat like Slow Hands is. I could say that this is Niall's best song. Niall's vocals are very nice, and that chorus is amazing. Here's to hoping that this song could be at #1 soon.
3. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes: Oh come on. Why do we need this song to drop? I'd like this song to be at the top next week.
2. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Want You Back: Oh my gosh. It looks like it's about to be back at the top. I'd also want this song to be back at the top soon.
1. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: Oh my gosh, voters. I'm done with this song at the top. Can you please stop voting for this song at the top spot, please? I'd like it to be out of here next week.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Sam Smith/Logic - Pray

2. HRVY - Personal
3. Fall Out Boy - The Last Of The Real Ones (DEBUT)
4. The Wrecks - James Dean
5. Calvin Harris/Dua Lipa - One Kiss
6. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood
7. Cardi B. - I Like It
8. Maren Morris - Rich
9. Liam Payne/J. Balvin - Familiar
10. Meghan Trainor - Let You Be Right
11. lovelytheband - Broken
12. In Real Life - Tattoo (How 'Bout You)
13. Dennis Lloyd - Nevermind
14. Sugarland/Taylor Swift - Babe
15. Hundred Handed - Too Good
16. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Fall Out Boy - The Last Of The Real Ones: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This song is definitely better than Hold Me Tight Or Don't and this is definitely their best song. I love the instrumentation, Patrick Stump's vocals are so outstanding, the lyrics are amazing, and that chorus is fantastic. This better debut the countdown soon.

Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: As Say Amen (Saturday Night) is still in the Top 5 on the countdown, this song now debuts Hit Bound. I can say that it's just a step up from it. I love Brendon's vocals, and I really enjoyed that chorus. This should debut the countdown when Say Amen (Saturday Night) hits #1 on the countdown.
