#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Imagine Dragons - Believer (3rd and final week at #1)

This Week’s Mover and Shaker:

MNEK/Hailee Steinfeld - Colour (+13) has finally made it’s comeback this week! This song is even going to be in my Top 10 songs of the year. Let’s see if this song should move up more.
Halsey - Alone (-13) is unfortunately almost off the pop radio charts. I wasn’t that pleased about it having the biggest drop this week.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

The Chainsmokers/Emily Warren - Side Effects: It’s such an awesome song. But this time, Andrew Taggart did not take on some vocals. He worked on the production on this one. Now, on to the song. I really like the production and Emily’s vocals are so awesome. Hopefully this should do awesome on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night): It re-entered the Top 5 this week. I'm so glad to see that. Hopefully this could go back to #1 soon.
4. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: It's almost out of there. Now this song needs to keep dropping and it needs to leave here next week.
3. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: As it debuts the Top 3 this week, this should most likely go to the top next week. Will this be their 3rd #1 song? We're going to have to wait and see.
2. Taylor Swift - Delicate: It dropped out of the top spot. I still want it to spend another week at #1 soon.
1. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: I was extremely pleased to see this song at the top. This is definitely their best song. This is now their 3rd #1 song here on the countdown. Let's see how long it takes to hold the spot.

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

1. Noah Cyrus/MAX - Team
2. Train/Cam/Travie McCoy - Call Me Sir
3. Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman
4. Zedd/Elley Duhe - Happy Now
5. Justin Timberlake - SoulMate
6. DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer
7. Years & Years - If You're Over Me
8. Brown & Gray - Top Down
9. Bazzi/Camila Cabello - Beautiful (DEBUT)
10. Sabrina Carpenter - Almost Love (DEBUT)
11. Charlie Puth - The Way I Am
12. NF - Lie (DEBUT)
13. Weezer - Africa
14. Dennis Lloyd - Nevermind
15. AJR - Burn The House Down (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Bazzi/Camila Cabello - Beautiful: I could say that this song is actually better than Mine for now. I like the production in this one, the vocals are awesome, Camila's vocals are so amazing in the second verse, and I love that chorus. It should debut the countdown when Mine leaves the countdown.

Sabrina Carpenter - Almost Love: It's just a step up from Why. Sabrina does have a very good voice in this one and I'm a fan of the lyrics. Hopefully this should debut the countdown.

NF - Lie: This song was mediocre when I first heard it on the American Top 40. And then after a few more listens, it's now horrible. This is easily his worst song. I could say that the vocals sounded okay, but the production is underwhelming for the most part. It better not debut the countdown.

AJR - Burn The House Down: I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. This song was #4 this week on the Alt-8. Now, on to the song. I like the vocals in this one and I enjoyed the chorus. Hopefully this should debut the countdown anytime soon.
