#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

 

Halsey - Without Me (1 of 5 weeks at #1)

 

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

 

I'm so glad to see Taylor Swift - Lover (+8) have the biggest jump all the way to the Top 3. What a week for her!

The Chainsmokers/5 Seconds Of Summer - Who Do You Love (-10) is finally out of the Top 30. I know it's been in there for a long time.

 

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

 

88Rising/Joji/Jackson Wang/Swae Lee/Major Lazer - Walking: This song is just decent. There's nothing really interesting about this song. Though the production in this one sounded awesome, but I'm not a fan of the verses from them. But overall, it's just decent. However, my thoughts would change in a few more listens. And if they do, it'll either change to green or red. Hopefully it's green. Let's see how this one does.

 

Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted: This song is also decent. Man, she has been making decent music on here. Not as decent as All The Good Girls Go To Hell, but it's still decent. The production sounded decent, Billie's vocals sounded decent, the lyrics are decent, the chorus was decent, everything on this song was decent. Let's see how this one does.

 

Fall Out Boy - Bob Dylan: They replaced themselves on the countdown this week. Now, this song was definitely amazing. It's definitely a step up from Dear Future Self (Hands Up). The instrumentation sounded marvelous, Patrick's vocals sounded absolutely amazing, and that chorus was definitely what I stand for. Hopefully it becomes a big hit on here.

 

The Chainsmokers - Push My Luck: Since Who Do You Love is on it's way out of here, this song now debuts here. Wow, they have a lot of solo songs that failed to graduate on the countdown. And now, here it is. Now, this was such an outstanding song. Not as good as Takeaway, but it's still outstanding. The production sounded neat, Andrew's vocals sounded outstanding, I'm a fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was outstanding. Hopefully it becomes a hit.

 

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

 

5. Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved: It's finally on it's way out of here. It's been on here for months. Though I don't think I should get sick of this song, but we'll see.

4. Post Malone - Circles: I don't know why it's still in the Top 5. But this seriously needs to be out of here. I'm so tired of hearing this song and his music.

3. Taylor Swift - Lover: By that biggest jump this week, it debuted the Top 5 to the Top 3. Now, hopefully it should be at the top spot soon.

2. Jonas Brothers - Only Human: I didn't think it was going to be in the Top 5 this week, but I'm actually glad that it jumped back to that spot.

1. Niall Horan - Nice To Meet Ya: Holding the top spot for the 6th week in a row. Wow, this song has been killing it in there. This only needs 7 more weeks to tie the record. But I don't think it's going to happen, but hopefully it does.

 

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

 

1. Lizzo - Cuz I Love You

2. Alec Benjamin - Mind Is A Prison

3. Zedd/Kehlani - Good Thing

4. Doja Cat - Say So (DEBUT)

5. Post Malone/Ozzy Osbourne/Travis Scott - Take What You Want

6. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go

7. Camila Cabello - My Oh My

8. Niall Horan - Put A Little Love On Me

9. Tayla Parx/Florida Georgia Line - Fight (DEBUT)

10. Halsey - You Should Be Sad (DEBUT)

11. Justin Bieber - Yummy (DEBUT)

12. AJ Mitchell/Ava Max - Slow Dance

13. Rex Orange County - 10/10 (DEBUT)

14. Blackbear - Hot Girl Bummer

15. X Lovers - Play Your Game

 

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

 

Doja Cat - Say So: This is just a decent song. There's nothing really interesting about this song. Her voice sounded decent in this one and those lyrics are fine. But other than that, the production and the chorus sounded pretty good! Though my thoughts might change in a few more listens and I'm sure it's going to change to green. Hopefully it does.

 

Tayla Parx/Florida Georgia Line - Fight: I heard this song a lot on The Highway. This is definitely an outstanding song. It reminds me of Meant To Be, which is another song that I like back then. Now, on to the song. The production sounded outstanding, Tayla's vocals shine throughout the entire song, Tyler Hubbard's vocals sounded absolutely awesome in his contribution, and that chorus was marvelous. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

 

Halsey - You Should Be Sad: She replaced herself on Hit Bound this week. I'm actually not happy about Finally // Beautiful Stranger not making the countdown. But this song is actually better than Finally // Beautiful Stranger. This actually feels like a country song. Now, on to my opinion. The guitar sounded amazing, Halsey's vocals are definitely heaven, and that chorus sounded amazing. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

 

Justin Bieber - Yummy: I really have no idea what's going on with this song. There's just nothing interesting about this one. I really like the trap production on this one, but I don't really like how auto-tuned his vocals are. And  I'm definitely not feeling the chorus in this one because there was this weird girl who says "yummy yummy" in this one. So yeah. I have it in blue right now, but it's much closer to red for me than it is in green.

 

Rex Orange County - 10/10: I've known him since I heard Loving Is Easy with Benny Sings on Alt Nation. And now we have this song, which was amazing. Not as good as Loving Is Easy, but it's still amazing. The production sounded amazing, his vocals  sounded amazing, and that chorus was definitely amazing. Everything on this song was amazing. So yeah, this song was definitely a 10/10. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
