Bruno Mars (1) - Week #16

While this week was a considerable step down from the past two weeks, there were some good aspects to it. For example, I Feel So Bad departed Hit-Bound, Believer entered the top 10, and so. But there were some flaws.

And I know Adrian will not be happy with our #1...

Biggest Drop: Lady Gaga - Million Reasons (-20)Biggest Jump: The Chainsmokers/Coldplay - Something Just Like This (+12)

New Entrant:
I really hoped that Cake wouldn't debut. At first I found it to be the most mediocre rap song out there, but then the repetition of «Cake» became annoying, and the meaning is so silly. I hope you flop, just like Lights Down Low is doing right now.

Hit-Bound:

One Ok Rock - American Girls
~This is still a catchy rock song, but seriously, how did this wind up on Hits 1? Although the beat is catchy and I do like rock music, but this was the most random song for Hits 1 to pick up.

Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back (DEBUT)
~I expected more from Shawn Mendes. This turned out to be the most mediocre song ever created. The meaning is okay. The instrumentals are okay. Shawn Mendes's voice is okay. The beat is okay.

Zayn/PartyNextDoor - Still Got Time
~Honestly, OneDirection members are taking up half the countdown right now. And the majority of the songs are great. But this song is straight-off rap. As bad as Slide, Cake, and Good TIme Good Life. Zayn can seriously do better. But seriously, his concoctions of I Don't Wanna Live Forever and Still Got Time aren't pleasing me.

Lady Gaga - The Cure (DEBUT)
~Finally a good song off Joanne! ( I grew out of A-YO quickly) The electronic aspect is really what catches me. I mean, Lady Gaga's voice is good. And the message is great.

G-Eazy/Kehlani - Good Life
~I had this song once at #2 for my preferences chart, mainly for Kehlani. But as er part grew slightly out of me, I began to jam to G-Eazy's part. This guy is the best rapper out there, and one of the rare good ones. And this song is part of the soundtrack to The Fate Of The Furious, which I am eager to watch.

Hey Violet - Break My Heart
~On youtube, at one point the top comment's genious creator thought that Hey Violet were saying «Braid My Hair» instead of «Break My Heart» :) and that is what lured me into the song. The verses are good but the chorus is annoying. And I have no idea how the chorus is saying «Break My Heart» because it sure sounds like «Braid My Hair» to me. And the lyrics of this song are as bad as the lyrics of Guys My Age, by the way. At least Guys My Age had an awesome beat.

Aaron Carter - Sooner or Later
~This song is spectacular. The beat is stellar. This guy is the definition of perseverance and this song is the definition of an amazing song. Every single part of this song is amazing, you name it.

Erin Bowman - Good Time Good Life
~I seriously hoped that this song would leave Hit-Bound when I saw that there was only one exit. But no. This horrid rap song still stands.

Jason Derulo/Ty Dolla $ign/Nicki Minaj - Swalla
~Again, I have nothing to say about this song. So I will talk about the exits. I Feel So Bad gone is a dream, and I knew that Talk Too Much would never debut.

Charlie Puth - Attention (DEBUT)
~This is hands down Charlie Puth's best song. The beat is fun. The words are cool. And I am glad that Charlie Puth wandered off from One Call Away.

Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
~Why did this song even join Hit-Bound? It is so bland and Jon Bellion's voice is terrible. But people seem to like this song.

DNCE/(?) Nicki Minaj (?) - Kissing Strangers
~I don't know if Hits 1 included Nicki Minaj in the song but it really doesn't matter. This song is terrible and should seriously consider leaving Hit-Bound before it turns orange.

Ocean Park Standoff - Good News
~This is a super catchy song with a great meaning. That is all I can say, really.

Mansionz/G-Eazy - Wicked
~This song really does not sound like Mike Posner but more like Blackbear... And G-Eazy here is pointless. But the song is still a little bit catchy.
