#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer (7 of 8 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Camila Cabello - Havana (+12) has jumped to the Top 5 this week. I'm not too shocked to see that. Hopefully it drops out of here soon.

Logic/Alessia Cara/Khalid - 1-800-273-8255 (-12) has dropped all the way to the Bottom 5 from the Top 30. Seriously guys? Rude.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar: It's a rap song. Hits 1 doesn't like rap music. Now on to the song, I hate rap music. This song is garbage. This song has a lazy, boring, bland, and generic production, awful vocals and terrible lyrical content. It spent 6 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which I'm not happy to see that. Let's hope this rap song does poorly on this countdown.

Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves: This song was mediocre to me at first when it debuted Hit Bound. And with a couple of more listens, I grew into this song. Now, on to the song, I love Selena's vocals in this one and I love Marshmello's drop in the chorus. And with its debut in the Top 20, it will hit #1 on this countdown. Let's see if it does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Maroon 5/SZA - What Lovers Do: It debuted the Top 5 this week. My opinion on this song is that Adam Levine's voice sounded great and I love his falsetto in the chorus. I do enjoy SZA's part in this song. Let's see if it can do well on the Top 5 here.

4. Camila Cabello - Havana: With that biggest jump this week, it debuts the Top 5 here. As what I said, I'm not too shocked to see it debut the Top 5 here. This song better not hit #1 on this countdown.

3. Ed Sheeran - Perfect: It's holding at the spot. I'm still waiting for this to hit #1 on this countdown. Let's see if it does soon.

2. Halsey - Bad At Love: It's almost there. I'm very pleased to see it at that spot. I'd like to see that song hit #1 on this countdown next week. Let's see if it does.

1. Imagine Dragons - Thunder: It's back at the top spot this week. I'm very pleased to see it at that spot. I want this song to stay at #1 for a little while longer at the very least. Let's see how long it can hold the spot.

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

1.Nick Jonas - Find You
2. X Ambassadors - Ahead Of Myself
3. Wolves - Animal (DEBUT)
4. Fall Out Boy - Hold Me Tight Or Don't
5. P!nk - Beautiful Trauma (DEBUT)
6. Bruno Mars - Chunky
7. Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels - I Miss You (DEBUT)
8. Harry Styles - Kiwi
9. Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days
10. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes
11. Liam Payne - Bedroom Floor
12. Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/Future - End Game (DEBUT)
13. Walk The Moon - One Foot
14. Sofi Tukker/NERVO/The Knocks/Alisa Ueno - Best Friend

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Wolves - Animal: The production is so catchy. I've never heard of this band before this song. I love the vocals and the lyrics are so amazing. It's going to be on Hit Bound for a long time because no one has ever heard of this band. But let's see if I'm wrong.

P!nk - Beautiful Trauma: This song now debuts Hit Bound, dethroning Revenge. I guess I can say that Revenge is better than this one. Now, on to this song, P!nk's vocals shine throughout the whole song and that chorus sounded awesome. Let's see if it'll make the countdown.

Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels - I Miss You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. It wasn't a long time ago since we've heard from EDM DJ, Clean Bandit since Rockabye, which became a big hit earlier this year. He now collaborates with Julia Michaels, who made Issues from the early part of the year, and the extremely horrifying Uh Huh, which flopped on pop radio charts. With their new single, Julia takes on some vocals for the whole song, because DJ's are not allowed to take vocals when they feature someone (or when it's just a solo single). I do love her vocals. I love the chorus which leads into Clean Bandit's EDM drop. I hope it makes the countdown soon.

Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/Future - End Game: With her other single, Gorgeous leaving here this week, it now debuts Hit Bound. Hits 1 thought they would edit out Future in this song, because he's a rapper. But that didn't happen. Now, for this song, Taylor has an awesome voice and I love the production. I do enjoy Ed Sheeran's part. It should debut the countdown when ...Ready For It? hits #1 on this countdown. Let's see if it does soon.
