Harry Styles (1) Week Of October 10, 2020

As far as the countdown goes, I thought it actually still looks good this week. Although there's a mixture of good and bad things happening on there. But one thing that's interesting about it is that we have another brand new #1 song, which of course I'll get to later. But other than that, I don't have anything else to say here, so let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 30, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so mad to see Surf Mesa/Emilee - ILY (+10) taking the biggest jump this week. This does not deserve that at all! Hopefully it doesn't get to the Top 10.

I'm also not too thrilled to see Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go (-8) taking the biggest drop this week. It's currently doing so well on the pop radio charts. But I do have a strange feeling that it's going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Shawn Mendes - Wonder: He has finally made his return on the countdown this week. I was actually expecting this song to be on there this week, and now, there it is. Now, this is such an outstanding song. For my opinion, the production sounded so outstanding, Shawn's vocals were absolutely amazing, the lyrics are so nicely-written, and that chorus was definitely amazing. Now, I'm sure this is going to become a hit on there because of him. Hopefully this will happen.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Gabby Barrett/Charlie Puth - I Hope: I'm pleased to see this song re-enter the Top 5. Now, I'm sure hoping that it'll be back in the Top 3 soon.

4. Ava Max - Kings & Queens: Whew. It didn't get out of the Top 5. Now, I would like this song to be back in the Top 3 and have another chance to be at the top spot.

3. AJR - Bang!: Wow, this song has really been hanging around at that spot for quite a while. But I'm sure this should be out of the Top 3 sometime soon.

2. Juice WRLD/Marshmello - Come And Go: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice time there last week. Though I'm not sure if it's ever going to be back in there.

1. Harry Styles - Falling: I'm super glad to see this song at the top spot. Wow, he has been having one heck of a year this year. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

1. Ashe - Save Myself

2. Pop Smoke - What You Know Bout Love (DEBUT)

3. Morgan Wallen - 7 Summers

4. Dixie D'Amelio/Blackbear/Lil Mosey - Be Happy

5. Why Don't We - Fallin'

6. Juice WRLD - Wishing Well

7. X Lovers/Chloe Moriondo - Haunt You (DEBUT)

8. Harry Styles - Golden

9. Drake/Lil Durk - Laugh Now Cry Later

10. Salem Ilese - Mad At Disney

11. Dua Lipa/DaBaby - Levitating

12. Niall Horan - Small Talk

13. Travis Scott/Young Thug/M.I.A. - Franchise

14. Zoe Wees - Control

15. Saweetie - Tap In

16. Royal & The Serpent - Overwhelmed

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Pop Smoke - What You Know Bout Love: This is just a decent song. I actually didn't expect Hits 1 to pick up a song from him since he's dead, but now, there it is. Though we do actually get to hear the late version of him for the first time on there. But it's still a decent song. Now, on to the song. The production actually sounded awesome, but I'm not really huge on this guy's vocals. But I do love those lyrics. I think they were so amazing. But overall, it's decent. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

X Lovers/Chloe Moriondo - Haunt You: Does anyone remember them? They had a Hit Bound dropout from earlier this year called Play Your Game, and I've actually been enjoying this song back then. But for this new song, it's also decent. There's nothing here that's really interesting to say. The production and instrumentation sounded decent, this dude's voice sounded okay, though I do like Chloe's vocals in her contribution. I think she sounded awesome. Although the chorus actually sounded decent. But yeah, it's another decent song for me. Though I'm not really sure if it's going to be on the countdown like Play Your Game was, but let's see if it'll happen.
