#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

 

The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling (2 of 7 weeks at #1)

 

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

 

I'm so glad to see Panic! At The Disco - Into The Unknown (+11) having the biggest jump this week in the Top 30. Now hopefully it should be in the Top 20 soon.

Taylor Swift - You Need To Calm Down (-5) took a small big drop this week. I'm actually fine with that. I'll just take it.

 

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

 

Lil Nas X - Panini: Oh no... he's back on here! As what I've said before, he's not a great singer. Now, I've already went over my opinion on this song back when it debuted the AT40. The production sounded boring, Lil Nas X's vocals are terrible, and that chorus was garbage. This better do poorly on here.

 

OneRepublic - Wanted: This was such an amazing song. Not as good as Rescue Me, but it's still amazing. Now, on to the song. The production sounded amazing, Ryan's vocals sounded remarkable, those lyrics are marvelous, and that chorus sounded amazing. Let's see how this one does. 

 

Ed Sheeran/Camila Cabello/Cardi B. - South Of The Border: Such an amazing song. This is definitely a step up from Beautiful People. The production sounded amazing, Ed's vocals sounded amazing, Camila's vocals sounded very heaven in her contribution, and that chorus sounded heaven. Though there was one thing that I don't like in this one. And you know what it is. I do not like Cardi B.'s verse. But other than that, everything else is heaven. Let's see how this one does.

 

Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now: She's finally back on the countdown! Now, this was such an amazing song. The production in this one sounded amazing, Dua's vocals sounded absolutely amazing, and I really love that chorus. Let's see if this should become a big hit on here.

 

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

 

5. Post Malone - Circles: I really have no idea why it's still in there. This needs to drop next week. I'm so done with him.

4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Teeth: Same with this song. It better not be back in the Top 3 and it needs to be out of here next week.

3. Jonas Brothers - Only Human: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3. Though I do have a feeling that this might hold that spot. But let's se if it'll be back at the top soon.

2. Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved: I feel like this song might hold that spot too. I don't think it's going to be back at the top.

1. Niall Horan - Nice To Meet Ya: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm glad to see it still in there. I feel like this is going to be our last #1 song of the year and for the decade. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot before 2020 comes.

 

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

 

1. Fall Out Boy - Bob Dylan

2. Halsey - Finally // Beautiful Stranger

3. Blackbear - Hot Girl Bummer

4. Lizzo - Cuz I Love You (DEBUT)

5. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go

14. The Chainsmokers - Push My Luck

15. Alec Benjamin - Mind Is A Prison (DEBUT)

16. Meghan Trainor/Mike Sabath - Wave

 

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

 

Lizzo - Cuz I Love You: I really have no idea what's going on with this song, but this song is garbage. Now, on to the song. The production in this one was underwhelming and Lizzo's vocals do not sound good at all. And that chorus was definitely garbage. So yeah. This was the first song that I disliked from her. I really hope this one doesn't make the countdown.

 

Zedd/Kehlani - Good Thing: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is definitely an amazing song. Now, for my opinion, the production sounded amazing, Kehlani's vocals sounded pretty amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus was amazing, the drop was amazing, everything on this song was amazing. This better make the countdown soon.

 

X Lovers - Play Your Game: This was definitely an outstanding song. Now, on to my opinion. The production in this one sounded awesome, the vocals sounded outstanding, the lyrics are what I'm a fan of, and that chorus was amazing. I'm not sure if it'll be on the countdown because they're new, but let's see if it will soon.

 

Alec Benjamin - Mind Is A Prison: This was also a mediocre song. Man, he really has been making mediocre music. Now, on to the song. The production sounded decent, Alec's vocals sounded okay, and that chorus was okay. I wouldn't mind seeing this on the countdown soon. Let's see if it'll be on here soon.
