#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes (3 of 8 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Sam Smith - How Do You Sleep? (+15) has been gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts! What a week for him!

I'm completely shocked about Khalid - Talk (-21) drop all the way out of the Top 30 from the Top 15. But it doesn't make me happy. I feel like this might be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Charlie Puth - Mother: Now we have him and his brother have one song on the countdown. That is so interesting. But anyway. Now, it's better than I Warned Myself. The production is outstanding, Charlie's vocals sounded amazing, and I fell in love with that chorus. Let's see if this should do great on here.

Halsey - Graveyard: The best countdown entrant this week. It's definitely her best song off of her new album. This is definitely a heaven song. It is definitely a step up from Nightmare. The production in this one sounded amazing, her vocals sounded heaven, the lyrics were pretty amazing, and that chorus sounded heaven. Let's see if it'll do amazing on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Jonas Brothers - Cool: It re-entered the Top 5 this week. I'm glad to see that. Let's see if it'll have another chance for the top spot.

4. The Chainsmokers/5 Seconds Of Summer - Who Do You Love: I'm glad it's moving back up. Although it might be the end of it, but let's see what happens.

3. Jonas Brothers - Sucker: It's back in the Top 3. I'm actually great with that. I'm not going to get sick of it, because it's such an amazing song to listen to.

2. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Easier: It dropped out of the top spot. I do want it to be back in the top spot soon, but let's see what happens.

1. Taylor Swift - You Need To Calm Down: I'm so glad to see this song at the top. Man, she's been having a lot of #1 songs on here. Now, let's see how long it can stay in there.

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

1. NF - Time

2. Maroon 5 - Memories (DEBUT)

3. Lauv/Anne-Marie - I'm Lonely

4. Why Don't We - What Am I

5. Kygo/Whitney Houston - Higher Love

6. Alec Benjamin - Jesus In LA

7. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Teeth

8. Post Malone - Circles

9. Louis Tomlinson - Kill My Mind

10. Liam Payne - Stack It Up (DEBUT)

11. Fall Out Boy/Wyclef Jean - Dear Future Self (Hands Up)

12. Taylor Swift - Lover

13. Lizzo - Good As Hell

14. Jonas Brothers - Only Human

15. Panic! At The Disco - Roaring 20's

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Maroon 5 - Memories: They finally made their return. We haven't heard from them since not long ago after their Super Bowl performance from earlier this year. Now, this song was such an amazing song to listen to. The production in this one sounded spectacular, Adam's vocals sounded amazing, and I really love that chorus. I really hope this one makes the countdown soon.

Liam Payne - Stack It Up: Hits 1 edited out A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie's verse in this one, which is great. But I gotta say, this song was mediocre. There's nothing really interesting about this song. Liam's vocals sounded alright, but the production is actually boring. The chorus in this one sounded fine. So yeah. It's just mediocre. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
