#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle (1 of 9 weeks at #1) [Yuck...]

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Sam Smith/Normani Kordei - Dancing With A Stranger (+21) has been going strong on the pop radio charts. That was their best week ever. Let's see if it'll be in the Top 10 next week.

5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood (-16) is about to start losing airplay. I know this song is old, but I'm never going to get sick of it because this was their best song ever.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Lil Peep/iLoveMakonnen/Fall Out Boy - I've Been Waiting: I heard this song on Alt Nation before and this song was just decent. I don't think Lil Peep sounds good here. I know I'm not huge on Lil Peep's music. Other than that, Makonnen's vocals sounded pretty generic in his verse. But Patrick's vocals sounded absolutely amazing in the chorus. I'll admit that the production sounded decent here. So yeah. This is just a decent alt-pop song. I'd be okay if this one does great on here.

Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar: The best countdown debut this week. This is definitely their best song ever. It's definitely better than their other songs. Now, this was such a heaven song. This song was a mix between Demons and Walking The Wire, which are two songs that I enjoyed back then. Dan's vocals in this one are heaven, the production is heaven, the chorus was heaven, the lyrics are heaven, everything on this song was heaven. This should probably be in my Top 10 songs of this year. Let's see if it'll do heaven on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Halsey - Without Me: Great. This song was finally dropping. Now, this needs to be out of here next week. I'm so tired of hearing this song.

4. Alec Benjamin - Let Me Down Slowly: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm actually okay with that, because the song was just mediocre. This is his first song to hit the Top 5 on here. Now, back to my opinion. The production is okay, but Alec's vocals sound underwhelming and childish in this one. But if this song hits #1, I'll be okay with that.

3. Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho: I was so pleased about this song being in the Top 3 this week. It's getting close to the top spot. I really hope it does go to the top spot, because this song was pretty heaven.

2. Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It: I thought that this song was going to be #1 this week. Let's see if it does next week.

1. The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Something tells me it's going to become a much bigger hit than Closer. If it hits #1 for one more week on here, it's going to tie Closer's record for most weeks at #1. Let's see if it does.

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

1. lovelytheband - Maybe, I'm Afraid

2. Post Malone - Wow.

3. Maren Morris - Girl

4. P!nk - Walk Me Home (DEBUT)

5. Madison Beer - Hurts Like Hell

6. Panic! At The Disco - Dancing's Not A Crime

7. Kelsy Karter - Harry

8. Austin Brown - In Betweenin' (DEBUT)

9. Meghan Trainor - All The Ways

10. Ally Brooke - Low Key (DEBUT)

11. Grandson - Apologize

12. Jonas Brothers - Sucker (DEBUT)

13. LSD (Labrinth/Sia/Diplo)/Lil Wayne - Genius (Remix)

14. YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Barker - 11 Minutes

15. Lauv/Troye Sivan - I'm So Tired

16. Kygo/Valerie Broussard - Think About You (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

P!nk - Walk Me Home: After A Million Dreams became popular on AC radio, this song now debuts here. Now, this was such an outstanding song. I really like the production in this one, P!nk's vocals are absolutely outstanding, and I really enjoyed the chorus. I'll have more words on this when it debuts the countdown.

Austin Brown - In Betweenin': This is just a mediocre song for me. I found Austin's vocals to be childish in this one. Though this song was catchy, but I don't see the appeal to this song. I'll be okay if it debuts the countdown.

Ally Brooke - Low Key: I don't really know what's going on with this song, but this song was just garbage. The production is so bland and generic, Ally's vocals are very awful, and that chorus was so egregious. And what I also heard about this song is that it's her talking about how she wants Tyga to have sex with her, which was awkward. I really hope this doesn't debut the countdown.

Jonas Brothers - Sucker: Of course, I've been enjoying their older music back then. And now, they finally made their big return this week. I really love their vocals in this one and the production is absolutely awesome. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Kygo/Valerie Broussard - Think About You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I know I'm a fan of Kygo. He's one of my favorite EDM artists since It Ain't Me, which was ranked at #6 on my Top 10 Songs Of 2017. Now, we have this song. Now, this song was such a fantastic song. Valerie's vocals are heaven, the production is fantastic, the chorus was just heaven and the drop sounded fantastic. I really hope this song makes the countdown soon.
