Ed Sheeran (4) Week Of December 2, 2017

This week's countdown is okay. We do say goodbye to a song that's in my Top 5 songs of the year. We also say goodbye to some short-tenured songs on the countdown. We do have an annoying biggest jump this week, which I'm not very pleased to see. But it's still okay.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer (8th and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar (+17) has now jumped all the way to the Top 20. Not cool, Hits 1. Not cool at all! It better drop out of here soon.
Cheat Codes/Demi Lovato - No Promises (-19) has unfortunately had a bad drop out of the Top 30 from the Top 20 this week. Voters, please get this song back in the Top 20!

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Harry Styles - Kiwi: It's a cool song that sounds like it was made in the 80's. Harry's vocals were so amazing, the chorus sounded awesome and I love the lyrics in this one. And of course, this song doesn't make me want to eat kiwi. I hope it does extremely great on this countdown.

X Ambassadors - Ahead Of Myself: Long time Hit Bound veteran and the best countdown entrant this week. I heard that song a lot on Alt Nation a couple of months ago. I do love the vocals in this one. I think this song should reach the height of Renegades and Unsteady. I hope it does well on this countdown.

Nick Jonas - Find You: It's been a while since we heard from him since his previous single, Bacon, from last year. Now, on to the song. I love the production and Nick has an outstanding voice. Maybe it's going to do great on this countdown. Let's see if it does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ed Sheeran - Perfect: I don't want this song to drop. I just want it to hit #1 here soon. But I'm okay with Galway Girl being back at the top this week. But I would be so pleased if I see this one hit #1 here. Let's see if it does soon.
4. Halsey - Bad At Love: I thought this song has a chance at #1 this week. But I hope this song does next week. Because this is the best song that I've ever heard from her. So let's vote for this song at #1 next week.
3. Imagine Dragons - Thunder: It dropped out of the top spot. I still want this song to stay in the Top 5. I even want this song to go back to the Top 5 anytime soon. I do want Whatever It Takes to debut the countdown next week because this hit #1 last week. So, let's see if it does.
2. Camila Cabello - Havana: It looks like it's going to the top soon. I don't want this song to do that. Let's see if it doesn't.
1. Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl: It re-entered the Top 5 to the top spot. I'm glad to see this song making it's comeback. Let's see how long it takes to hold the spot.

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

1. Bruno Mars - Chunky

2. P!nk - Beautiful Trauma

3. AJR/Rivers Cuomo - Sober Up (DEBUT)

4. Sofi Tukker/NERVO/The Knocks/Alisa Ueno - Best Friend

5. Walk The Moon - One Foot

6. Louis Tomlinson - Miss You (DEBUT)

7. Spencer Barnett - Whatever (DEBUT)

8. Wolves - Animal

9. Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels - I Miss You

10. Fall Out Boy - Hold Me Tight Or Don't

11. Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days

12. Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran/Future - End Game

13. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes
14. Liam Payne - Bedroom Floor

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

AJR/Rivers Cuomo - Sober Up: I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. The vocals were better than Weak. I do enjoy Rivers Cuomo's part. I think this song is going to stay on Hit Bound for a long time. Let's see if I'm wrong.

Louis Tomlinson - Miss You: This song was overplayed on Hits 1 yesterday. Louis' vocals are so amazing. The chorus sounded awesome. Let's see if it'll debut the countdown next week.

Spencer Barnett - Whatever: He guest-hosted Hit Bound this week because Mikey Piff has the weekend off. Now, on to the song. I have never heard of him before this song. He does have a great voice. I love the production and the lyrics were outstanding. It's going to be on Hit Bound for a long time because no one has ever heard of him, but we'll see how long it can stay on Hit Bound.
