Biggest Jump of the week - AJR - I'm Not Famous (+39)[New Biggest Jump Of 2016]

Biggest Drop of the week - Tie between Adele - I Miss You and Jason Derulo - If It Ain't Love (-19)

Panda will not last long on me. However, right now, I am loving the chorus. It is really catchy and the only thing that keeps me listening to this song, but the rest of the song is complete trash. Don't expect this song to last more than five weeks.

Lovesick is awesome. This song is definitely a big step up for Jacob Whitesides from his other so-so song called Secrets. I always turn the volume up for this song when it plays on the radio. Expect this song to be in the top 20 soon, if not next week.

Unstoppable is Sia's best song. Except for Chandelier and Cheap Thrills, all of her other songs faded on me. I feel like Sia normally puts all her song power into the chorus, except in this song, she excels in the bridge. I am glad she did that because it is hard to beat the chorus in songs like Figure Me Out or Treat You Better. In this bridge, the lyrics, music, voice, tempo, everything is perfect. I once cropped the song to play just the bridge on repeat. The chorus is also exceptional, but no artist can ever beat that bridge and will probably never.

Hit-Bound (only four song stood out to me):

Hedley - Lose Control (DEBUT)

Goo Goo Dolls - So Alive

Flume/Tove Lo - Say It

Kent Jones - Don't Mind (DEBUT)     

The Summer Set (6) - Week 25 (EXPANSION)

I decided to just start of with 50 and stay that way so that I maintain a steady beat and so there are no complications when I add songs to the countdown. Here are the #31-#50 songs from last Sunday:

31. Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out
32. MAGIC!/Sean Paul - Lay You Down Easy
33. Robin Schulz/Francesco Yates - Sugar
34. ZAYN - Like I Would
35. Iggy Azalea - Team
36. Flo Rida/Jason Derulo - Hello Friday
37. Meghan Trainor - Me Too
38. MAGIC! - Red Dress
39. James Bay - Let It Go
40. Mike Posner/SeeB - I Took A Pill In Ibiza
41. Daya - Sit Still, Look Pretty
42. Calvin Harris/Rihanna - This Is What You Came For
43. AJR - I'm Not Famous
44. Taylor Swift - New Romantics
45. Elle King - America's Sweetheart
46. Ariana Grande - Into You
47. Troye Sivan - Youth
48. Alessia Cara - Wild Things
49. Flume/Kai - Never Be Like You
50. Zara Larsson/MNEK - Never Forget You

The Summer Set (6) - Week 25

So! I hope you all understood the intro, because when anybody writes something they always think it is easy to understand, which I did. Please tell me if I was wrong. Anyway, in this post I will simply present to you the countdown and hit-bound, without the comments on debuts or the songs leaving or the colour code, because you have nothing to compare this countdown to. So let's head on right to it!

Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to the intro to my blog! In this post, I will tell you everything about this blog: the past, the present, and the future.

PAST
I actually started this blog on paper, my top 30. I then decided to make a blog out of it. For me, music never gets boring, and the same CD of 15 or so good songs on it could last me five hours in a car. However, once songs fade on me I search for new songs on blogs like this: personal countdowns. Therefore, I started one so you can find new music you enjoy.

Before this post, there were 24 Sundays, therefore 24 countdowns. Here I have displayed the songs that have reached #1 in these 24 weeks, in order.

Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out [8 weeks](11 weeks total, tied for all-time record)
X Ambassadors - Unsteady [1 week]
Cold War Kids - First [3 weeks]
The Strumbellas - Spirits [1 week]
Twenty One Pilots - Doubt [3 weeks]
The Chainsmokers/Daya - Don't Let Me Down [2 weeks]
The Summer Set - Figure Me Out [5 weeks]
Alan Walker - Faded [1 week]

The highest debut was Halsey - Colors at #3.
The shortest tenure was tied by Travi$ Scott - Antidote and Gwen Stefani - Misery at 1 week.
The biggest jump so far was Alan Walker - Faded (+27, from #29 to #2)
The biggest drop so far was The Weeknd - In The Night (-23, from #4  to #27)

PRESENT
In this blog, I will post one post every Sunday. It will arrive that I do it on Friday, or Saturday, or late in the week, due to events I have during the summer.

I don't know if I will remain with 30 songs or if I might expand within the next few weeks.

The countdown will work as follows:

Opening words
Songs leaving
Countdown
Comments on debuts
Hit-bound songs (from 0 to 10)

FUTURE
I will continue posting the countdown until I don't know when. It could be next month because of computer problems (I've had some of those) but it will most likely be until school takes over. Next year, I will be in 8th grade and this year, homework did not dominate my life, so I have no worries

I will do random extra posts for number of pageviews and other things.

So that is it for the intro and if you have any questions you can ask them in the comment section.
