The Weeknd (6) Week Of May 30, 2020

So this is the very first countdown with 30 songs this week. It has been a crazy week thanks to that. Also, I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day on Monday, because I sure had a great one. As far as the countdown goes, it actually looks so amazing. We actually have 17 exits this week. That's crazy, isn't it? Though we are still in the Golden Ages of the countdown. That's the best way to kick off the first week of this 30-song countdown. Other than that, I don't have anything else to say, so let's get to it!

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm okay with Justin Bieber/Quavo - Intentions (+16) in the Top 20. I'll give credit to that. Now, if it gets in the Top 10 soon, it'll still be fine. Let's see if it'll be in there soon.

Woah! I thought Conan Gray - Maniac (-8) had a chance to be at the top spot! This does not deserve to have the biggest drop this week. This should be back in the Top 5 and be at the top spot.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Doja Cat/Gucci Mane - Like That: This is actually another decent song. Not as decent as Say So, but it's still decent. The production in this one sounded pretty good, though Doja's vocals still sound decent, but the lyrics sounded fine, and the chorus sounded pretty fine. Though I'm not a fan of Gucci Mane's verse. But overall, it's just a decent song. Let's see how this one does on here.

Lady Gaga/Ariana Grande - Rain On Me: The best countdown debut this week. It's definitely Gaga's best song ever and it's definitely way better than Stupid Love. It's such a super heavenly song. The production in this one sounded so heavenly, Gaga's vocals were absolutely amazing, Ariana's vocals were pretty heavenly in her contribution, and my gosh that chorus was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to be in my Top 10 Songs of the year and maybe Stupid Love will actually be out of there. Let's see if this one becomes a big hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doja Cat - Say So: At least this song was dropping. Though I'll still be okay if this song leaves the Top 5 very soon. But let's see how long it should remain on there.

4. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go: I'm glad it's moving back up. Now, I'm sure hoping to see this song back in the Top 3 next week. Let's see if I'm right.

3. Dua Lipa - Break My Heart: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. Now, I'm sure hoping that it should be at the top spot soon. But I'm not sure if it's going to happen because of our current #1 song on there or something. But I'm sure hoping that it should be in there soon.

2. Niall Horan - No Judgement: It's almost there! Now, can this be his 3rd #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out soon.

1. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights: Holding the top spot for the 6th week in a row. Wow, this song really has been doing super amazing on there! I'm super duper pleased that it's still in there! It's almost at the halfway point from tying the record. Can it be at the halfway point next week? I'm sure hoping this happens.

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

1. The 1975 - If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)

2. Sia - Together (DEBUT)

3. Kelsea Ballerini/Halsey - The Other Girl

4. Gabby Barrett/Charlie Puth - I Hope

5. Roddy Ricch - The Box

6. Finneas - Let's Fall In Love For The Night (DEBUT)

7. Diplo/Morgan Wallen/Julia Michaels - Heartless (DEBUT)

8. Drake - Toosie Slide

9. Katy Perry - Daisies

10. Lil Mosey - Blueberry Faygo

11. AJR - Bang!

12. Ava Max - Kings & Queens

13. Megan Thee Stallion/Beyonce - Savage (Remix)

14. Ashe - Moral Of The Story

15. Jackson Wang - 100 Ways

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Sia - Together: This is definitely an amazing song. It's actually been a while since she actually had a solo single. And now, there it is on there. Now, on to my opinion. The production is so remarkable, Sia's vocals were absolutely amazing, those lyrics are very nicely-written, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Finneas - Let's Fall In Love For The Night: Wow, we actually have Billie Eilish's producer and brother making his debut on Hits 1? That's so interesting. But I gotta say, this song was actually mediocre. There's nothing really interesting about this one. I'm not really huge on the production, though Finneas's vocals sounded okay, but the lyrics are not bad. Though the chorus sounded okay. So yeah, this was definitely a mediocre song. I'd be okay if this one gets on the countdown soon.

Diplo/Morgan Wallen/Julia Michaels - Heartless: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is definitely an amazing country-EDM song. Now, I've actually heard the original version a lot on The Highway. Though this remix is actually on the same level as the original version. Now, I've gone over my opinion on this one back when it debuted the AT40 a couple weeks ago. The production was unstoppable, Morgan's vocals are so amazing, Julia's vocals were definitely phenomenal in her contribution, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully this one should be on the countdown soon.
