#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill (1 of 3 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Charlie Puth/Kehlani - Done For Me (+15) has finally made it to the Top 20! Let's hope it goes for the Top 10 soon.

Unfortunately, Kesha/The Dap-Kings Horns - Woman (-15) took a big drop out of the Top 20. It should've had a chance for the Top 5 this week. But I hope this song should make it's comeback.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Drake - God's Plan: This song is so catchy. This song is by far the biggest song in America this year. Now, on to the song, the production in this one is used for rap music, but I don't see anything I hate about this one. Drake has some awesome vocals, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Since this song is the biggest song in America this year, this song should definitely hit the top spot on this countdown. Let's see if it does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Lauv - I Like Me Better: It debuted the Top 5 this week. The song has grew more on me back in a couple of months ago. Now, my opinion on this song is that the vocals are so amazing, the chorus sounded outstanding, the lyrics are so outstanding and I love the production. This better hit #1 on this countdown.

4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Want You Back: This song has moved up 1 spot here. It's getting close to the top. Hopefully this song should move up and go for the top very soon.
3. Hailee Steinfeld/Alesso/Florida Georgia Line/Watt - Let Me Go: Gosh. How is it still here? Let's stop voting for it and let's get it out of the Top 5. It's getting close to yellow, so it needs to leave here before I put this song in yellow. Let's see if it'll be out of here next week.
2. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes: Looks like it's about to go for the gold here. I'm pretty sure that it's going to hit #1 next week. But I hope this song does.
1. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP VOTING FOR THIS SONG AT THE TOP SPOT???!!! This song has been on here for weeks. It's halfway there from tieing Hello, Shut Up And Dance, and Shake It Off's record for most weeks at #1. This better not happen.

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

1. Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign - Psycho

2. Echosmith - Over My Head

3. NOTD/Bea Miller - I Wanna Know (DEBUT)

4. Dustin Atlas/Erin Bowman - Fake A** Friends

16. Why Don't We - Trust Fund Baby

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

NOTD/Bea Miller - I Wanna Know: I've never heard of NOTD before this song. It's been years since we last heard from Bea Miller. But this song is so catchy. The production here caught my attention, the vocals are so amazing, and I love the lyrics. But this is definitely going to stay on Hit Bound for a very long time because no one has ever heard of NOTD, but we'll see how long it can stay on Hit Bound.

In Real Life - Tattoo (How About You): I've also never heard of them before this song. I do love the instrumentation, the lyrics are very awesome, and the chorus was awesome. It's even going to stay on Hit Bound for a long time because no one has ever heard of this band.

Zayn - Let Me: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And oh my gosh. This song is so amazing. I can say that this song isn't as good as Pillowtalk, but it's still amazing. The production is so amazing, Zayn's vocals are very amazing, the lyrics are very amazing, the chorus is super amazing, everything on this song is so amazing. It better debut the countdown next week.
