We are now basically 3 quarters through the year. And of course, my blog was at the 1-year mark a couple of days ago. I really don't have anything to say about this one, the countdown this week looks good. We do have a mixture of good and bad things happening on the countdown this week.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Niall Horan - Slow Hands (2 of 3 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Marshmello/Bastille - Happier (+12) has been gaining airplay on pop radio charts. I'm pretty sure it's going to do better than the Alt-8. Let's see if it does.
Foster The People - Sit Next To Me (-16) is unfortunately on it's way out of here. Though this song is almost old, but I still enjoy this song and I'm never going to get sick of it.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night): Oh come on. I still want this song to stay in the Top 5. Let's see if it does soon.
4. Fall Out Boy - The Last Of The Real Ones: I did not expect this song to drop. I want it to be back in the Top 3. Let's see if it does next week.
3. Khalid/Normani - Love Lies: Looks like it's about to go to the top soon. I really hope it goes to #1 next week.
2. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: I still want it to stay in the Top 3 for a little while longer and let it go back at the top soon.
1. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm glad it's still at the top. Let's see how long it can hold the spot even more.

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

1. Loud Luxury/Brando - Body (DEBUT)
2. The Struts/Kesha - Body Talks
3. Tiesto/Dzeko/Preme/Post Malone - Jackie Chan
4. Bryce Vine - Drew Barrymore
5. The Vamps - Just My Type
6. Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside (DEBUT)
7. Calvin Harris/Sam Smith - Promises
8. Walk The Moon - Kamikaze
9. Pitbull/Theron Theron - Free Free Free
10. Sabrina Carpenter - Almost Love
11. AJR - Burn The House Down
12. Anne-Marie - 2002
13. Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It
14. Kim Petras - Heart To Break
15. Jason Derulo/David Guetta/Nicki Minaj/Willy William - Goodbye

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Loud Luxury/Brando - Body: This song is just decent. I love the vocals in this one, but it's actually repetitive and not memorable for the most part. Though it might stay on Hit Bound for a while, but I'll be okay if it makes the countdown soon.

Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I pretty much already explained why this song was so amazing when it debuted the American Top 40 a couple of weeks ago. I love the production on this one, Khalid’s vocals sounded great in his verse, Halsey’s vocals shine pretty much throughout the second verse, and that chorus is just heaven. I'm really hoping it should debut the countdown soon.
