Lewis Capaldi (1) Week Of June 13, 2020

I hope everyone's been enjoying their first week of everything being back open! I sure did had a great one, because this week, I've actually came to a place that I actually miss going when it was closed down. And wearing my mask actually felt pretty good for me. I could still breathe through my mask, which was great. Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, it looks very interesting. So, let's get to it!

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased about Lady Gaga/Ariana Grande - Rain On Me (+12) in the Top 20. What a week for them! Now hopefully it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about The Weeknd - In Your Eyes (-16) with the biggest drop this week all the way from the bottom spot from the Top 20. But I'm sure this song is going to leave next week.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Lil Mosey - Blueberry Faygo: What an outstanding song. From what I found out that after that XXL Freshman cypher, this song was actually his biggest hit, which was so interesting. Now, on to the song. The production in this one was so catchy, Mosey's vocals sounded outstanding, I'm a fan of those lyrics, and the chorus was absolutely amazing. Hopefully this one does amazing on there.

Megan Thee Stallion - Savage: For whatever reason, they decided that this song is actually going to be way better without Beyonce. But this version is actually on the same level as the remix. Now, she has made her first countdown appearance this week. She did have a few songs last year that I actually don't like. But this one was actually a better song for her. The production is so catchy, Megan's rapping was amazing, those lyrics are nicely-written, and that chorus was so fun. Hopefully this one does well on there.

Gabby Barrett/Charlie Puth - I Hope: This was actually one of the biggest country songs of last year. Now, I heard the original version a lot on The Highway. Though the original version is actually way better than this version, but this version is actually still amazing. Now, for my opinion, the production sounded absolutely amazing, Gabby's vocals were so splendid, Charlie's vocals were very outstanding in his contribution, and the chorus was pretty amazing. Hopefully this one does better than the Highway Hot 30 on there.

Conkarah/Shaggy/DJ Fle - Banana: This is just a decent song. There isn't really interesting about this song. Though the production in this one sounded decent and I think Conkarah's vocals sounded fine. Though I do like Shaggy's vocals in his contribution. But other than that, the chorus sounded decent. So yeah, overall it's just a decent song. I'll try to give this song a few more listens and see if my opinion should change. Let's see how this one does on there.

Roddy Ricch - The Box: This is also a decent song. Now, this song has actually hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for quite a while. Now, for my opinion, the production in this one actually sound great, but I'm not really huge on Roddy's vocals. And the lyrics in this one aren't really interesting. So yeah, it's just a decent song. Now, I'll be fine if this one does well on there just like what it did on the Hot 100. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Conan Gray - Maniac: Oh gosh... please don't let this song drop. I thought this song was going to  have a shot at the top spot. But I don't think it's ever going to happen.

4. Dua Lipa - Break My Heart: I'm still waiting for this song to be in the Top 3. Though I'm sure it's going to be in there very soon. Let's see if this happens.

3. Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar: I really have no idea why this song was still standing in there. Though I guarantee this song should be at the top spot within the next week or so, but we're going to have to see if they accepted it.

2. Niall Horan - No Judgement: It dropped out of the top spot. I wish this song would've stayed in there for a little while longer. Let's see if this should be back at the top spot soon.

1. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. I didn't expect this song to be in there, but it did. Now, let's see how long it could stay in there.

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

1. Finneas - Let's Fall In Love For The Night

2. 24kgoldn - City Of Angels (RE-ENTRY)

3. Ashe - Moral Of The Story

4. Harry Styles - Falling (DEBUT)

5. Doja Cat/Gucci Mane - Like That

6. Katy Perry - Daisies

7. Niall Horan - Black And White (DEBUT)

8. Tones And I - Ur So Fucking Cool

9. DaBaby/Roddy Ricch - Rockstar (DEBUT)

11. AJR - Bang!

12. Pink Sweat$ - 17

15. Jackson Wang - 100 Ways

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

24kgoldn - City Of Angels: WHY WOULD IT RE-ENTER HIT BOUND AGAIN?????!!!!! No, this does not deserve to be back on Hit Bound. This needs to be out of here and never ever come back to the countdown again.

Harry Styles - Falling: It's such an outstanding song. This is definitely a step up from Watermelon Sugar. Now, for my opinion, the piano in this one sounded so outstanding, Harry's vocals were absolutely amazing, the lyrics are very interesting, and that chorus is definitely what I stand for. I feel like this song should make the countdown when Watermelon Sugar hits #1 soon. Let's see if it'll happen.

Niall Horan - Black And White: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. It's definitely an amazing song. Now, since No Judgement hit #1 on the countdown last week, this song now makes it's debut on there. Now, on to the song. The production in this one was so amazing, Niall's vocals are definitely amazing, the lyrics are definitely what I'm a fan of, and the chorus was super amazing. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

DaBaby/Roddy Ricch - Rockstar: This is yet to be another decent song. There isn't really anything interesting about this song. Though the production sounded so great, but DaBaby doesn't sound that good, and again I'm not really huge on Roddy's vocals. Though I will still give credit to the chorus. But overall, this is decent. I wouldn't mind seeing it on the countdown soon.
