#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Zedd/Alessia Cara - Stay (2 of 4 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Maroon 5 - Wait (+11) had the biggest jump this week as it re-enters the Top 5 this week. Here's to hoping that it should go to #1 soon.

I wasn't very pleased about the big drop from G-Eazy/Halsey - Him & I as it was out of the Top 20. What's also tied for the biggest drop this week and the other thing that I wasn't very pleased about is that Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves (-13) had a pretty big drop out of the Top 30. I'm pretty sure it's the end of this song. But this doesn't make me pleased.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Foster The People - Sit Next To Me: The best countdown debut this week. I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation, as it spent 2 weeks at the top on the Alt-8. Now, on to the song, the production is amazing, the vocals are amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus is amazing, everything on this song is amazing. This might do poorly on this countdown, but we're going to see how far this one gets.

Dua Lipa - IDGAF (I Don't Give A F**k): It's just a step up from New Rules. This song is pretty low-key. But I do love her voice in this one, especially in the chorus. I think I want this song to do better than New Rules. Let's see how this one does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Maroon 5 - Wait: With that big jump this week, it re-entered the Top 5 this week. Let's see if this song should have another shot at #1.

4. Camila Cabello - Never Be The Same: It dropped out of the top spot. I've also noticed that my mom doesn't like this song. But I love this song so much. I really want this song to be back at the top spot soon.
3. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes: It re-entered the Top 3 this week. Now, can we please let this song be at #1 soon? I hope so. Let's see if it'll be at the top soon.
2. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: No. Please don't let this song jump. This needs to not get back at the top. It needs to be out of here. Hopefully it does next week.
1. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Want You Back: This has finally become their second #1 song. This is their first #1 song this week since She Looks So Perfect back in 2014. Let's see how long it takes to hold the spot.

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

1. Sam Smith/Logic - Pray
2. Calvin Harris/Dua Lipa - One Kiss
3. In Real Life - Tattoo (How 'Bout You)
4. Sugarland/Taylor Swift - Babe
5. Dustin Atlas/Erin Bowman - Fake A** Friends
6. Echosmith - Over My Head
7. The Wrecks - James Dean
8. Kendrick Lamar/SZA - All The Stars
9. HRVY - Personal
10. Liam Payne/J. Balvin - Familiar
11. Portugal. The Man - Live In The Moment (RE-ENTRY)
12. Selena Gomez - Back To You (DEBUT)
13. Maren Morris - Rich
14. Hundred Handed - Too Good
15. lovelytheband - Broken
16. Meghan Trainor - Let You Be Right (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Portugal. The Man - Live In The Moment: It re-entered Hit Bound this week. I have no idea why it left the countdown this week and I wasn't very pleased to see it back on Hit Bound. I do have a feeling that it should stay on Hit Bound for a long time. But I hope it's back on the countdown soon.

Selena Gomez - Back To You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. It's not as good as Wolves, but it's still very amazing. I really love her vocals, and I love the lyrics. This better make the countdown soon.

Meghan Trainor - Let You Be Right: I could say that this song is just a step up from No Excuses. Now, on to the song. The production is fantastic, and that chorus is heaven. This is easily her best song that I've ever heard from her. This better make the countdown next week.
