Hey my fellow bloggers. Summer does seem to go by really fast. I start school next month. As for the countdown, it kinda looks good.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Imagine Dragons - Believer (2 of 3 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Khalid/Normani - Love Lies (+22) has been gaining lots and lots of airplay throughout the week. What a week for him.

I did not expect the big drop this week from MNEK/Hailee Steinfeld - Colour (-17). It's such an amazing song and I want to see it move back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

PRETTYMUCH - Summer On You: This is now their very first countdown appearance. It's just a step up from Would You Mind. I really love those vocals in this song and the lyrics are what I'm a fan of. Let's see how this one does on the countdown.

lovelytheband - Broken: I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. This song is definitely amazing. The production is amazing, the vocals are amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus is amazing, everything on this song is amazing. I do have a feeling that it's going to do poorly on this countdown, but we'll see how far this one gets.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Marshmello/Anne-Marie - Friends: It re-entered the Top 5 this week and I was extremely pleased to see that. I'm pretty sure it's going to have another chance to go to #1 here.

4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: I still want this song to be in the Top 3 here. Let's see if it'll move up next week.

3. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: Oh come on. Why is it still in the Top 3? This seriously needs to be out ofhere. It's been on here for a long time.

2. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: I'm still waiting for it to hit #1 here. Let's all vote for this song at #1 next week.

1. Taylor Swift - Delicate: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm glad it's still there.

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

1. Pnau - Go Bang (DEBUT)

2. Weezer - Africa

3. Years & Years - If You're Over Me

4. DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer (DEBUT)

5. Brown & Gray - Top Down

6. Zedd/Elley Duhe - Happy Now

7. Charlie Puth - The Way I Am

8. Train/Cam/Travie McCoy - Call Me Sir

9. Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman

10. Justin Timberlake - SoulMate

11. Bebe Rexha - I'm A Mess

12. Dan + Shay - Tequila

13. Big Boi - All Night

14. Noah Cyrus/MAX - Team (DEBUT)

15. Dennis Lloyd - Nevermind

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Pnau - Go Bang: I've never heard of this group before this song. But this song is such an awesome song. I like the production and the vocals sounded so awesome. I'll have more words on this song when it debuts.

DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Not as good as I'm The One, but it's still amazing. Justin's vocals in the chorus sounded so awesome, Quavo sounded so much better than his other singles, and I enjoyed Chance The Rapper's verse. Hopefully this should debut the countdown anytime soon.

Noah Cyrus/MAX - Team: This song is just decent. I still don't like Noah Cyrus' vocals in this one. The only part I like about this song is MAX's part in this song. I could say that the production is fine. I'll be okay if it debuts the countdown.
