Hit-Bound (no change)
1. Shawn Hook/Vanessa Hudgens - Reminding Me
2. Macklemore/Skylar Grey - Glorious
3. Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl
4. Imagine Dragons - Thunder
5. Paramore - Hard Times
6. Katy Perry/Nicki Minaj - Swish Swish

10. Andy Grammer - Give Love
11. Julia Michaels - Uh Huh
12. The Chainsmokers - Honest
13. Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut To The Feeling

It turns out that I never heard Fall Out Boy - Champion and that I was judging the wrong song. I cannot find it to listen to it anywhere. It is on Hit-Bound, however.

Cut To The Blurb
The top 5 doesn't change except for Castle On The Hill and There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back swapping. I would have preferred Castle On The Hills at #1, and it seems as though I am alone in that prospect.

It Ain't Me is spending a lot of time at #6. It is still a fantastic song without Kygo, and I hope it can squeeze in one week at #1 before we get another dominator.

Body Like A Back Road is old. Seriously. How did it crack the top 10 five months after it was released? I mentioned before, so close to nobody like this song in the blogging community. Who is even voting for this song? I don't get it. Hopefully it can never peak higher than #7. Hopefully.

Paris re-entering the top 10 is rather disturbing. We need Attention to re-enter and for Despacito to finally crack it.

Feels seemed to have made a large jump on its second week. Great how good songs are appreciated sometimes. However, I have never heard this song on the radio. Not on Sirius XM, not on my local radio.

Bad Liar should leave the top 20 already. It is an awful song and it seems that many people agree with me.

Lights Down Low jumping even a bit makes my day.

So Crying In The Club is actually going to make some sort of appearance here, I hope? Because it is flopping everywhere else.

That's What I Like was #1 on my radio's weekend countdown this week.

Good Time Good Life should not be jumping.

We have had the same bottom 5 for ages. Leave us already!

Swalla having the biggest drop of the week twice in a row does not disturb me. Hopefully it can leave next week.

Wait... HandClap is still here?! What?!

Best for last, and I will not scream and rejoice because you all know how happy I am. This song deserves to be this high and it finally is.

I stretched the blurbs out today, since there was so little to say.

Top 20 score:

Top 5:
1. Sooner Or Later
2. Lights Down Low
3. Despacito
4. Crying In The Club

Bottom 5:
1. Bad Liar

3. Body Like A Back Road

    1. Because I find it boring and repetitive. Shawn Mendes did a lot better with other songs, and I was expecting more from this song. It is little bit catchy, but not much. The lyrics are fine. Shawn Mendes stays in the same key, and that causes some annoyance. I like when he uses his high voice, but he rarely does in the song.
