#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

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

This Week’s Mover and Shaker:

I was extremely pleased to see Weezer - Africa (+11) having the biggest jump this week. They now have the best week ever. Hopefully it could be in the Top 20.
I was also extremely pleased to see the big drop all the way to the Bottom 5 this week from Cardi B. - I Like It (-20). Now this song needs to leave the countdown next week.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer: This song is so amazing. Though it isn’t as good as I’m The One, but it’s still amazing. I love the production on this one, I love Justin’s vocals in the chorus, Quavo sounded so much better than his other singles, and I love Chance The Rapper’s verse. Hopefully this should do well on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night): I’m glad it’s still there. I’d like it to stay in there for a little while longer at the very least. Let’s see how long it takes to stay in there.
4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: No. Please don’t let it drop. This is their best song and I really want to see it at the top next week.
3. Selena Gomez - Back To You: It re-entered the Top 5 this week. Hopefully this could have another chance for #1 soon.
2. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: Why is is holding there? Hopefully this should be at the top anytime soon.
1. Fall Out Boy - The Last Of The Real Ones: 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 takes to hold the spot.

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

1. Clean Bandit/Demi Lovato - Solo
2. Walk The Moon - Kamikaze
3. Zedd/Elley Duhe - Happy Now

15. The Struts/Kesha - Body Talks (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Jason Derulo/David Guetta/Nicki Minaj/Willy William - Goodbye: It’s so outstanding. Jason’s vocals are so nice, the production is outstanding, both Nicki and Willy sounded so great in their verses, and I love the drop in the chorus. Let’s see if it’ll be on the countdown soon.

The Struts/Kesha - Body Talks: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. I love the instrumentation in this one and the vocals are awesome. I do enjoy Kesha’s contribution in this one. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
