10. MAX/Gnash - Lights Down Low (#8)
9. Logic/Rag'n'Bone Man - Broken People (#6)
8. Eminem/Ed Sheeran - River (#7)
7. Zayn/Sia - Dusk Till Dawn (#9)
6. Mike Shinoda - Over Again (#5)
5. Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar (#4)
4. BTS/Desiigner/Steve Aoki - MIC Drop (DEBUT)
3. The Chainsmokers - Sick Boy (#1)
2. Bigflo & Oli - Dommage (#2)

I can't believe I got this out on time for once.

I never would have thought that End Game would reach #1 ever. Even when it jumped to #5 next week, I just said whatever and didn't realize that it could hit #1. So therefore I kept it around blue. But now I realized that this song is really bad. Taylor Swift's chorus is not the problem at all. The verses, all of them, are so painful to listen to. They do not go with the song. Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran rapping does not sound good, and Future does not sound good on any occasion. Of the singles that Taylor Swift released from Reputation, this one was the worst. I would have prefered for ...Ready For It? to hit #1, or even Look What You Made Me Do or Gorgeous. But not this. Anyway, we have a very sad exit this week...

Comments on debuts:
Last Young Renegade is fine. Nothing like I listen to sometimes in terms of rock, but pretty different that what you normally hear. I don't really feel much for this song. I feels very forgettable.

Middle has received many mixed opinions, but I side with those who said that Zedd is becoming lazy, I think so 100%. There are some times that really repetitive beats become catchy, like Mi Gente, or, more recently, MIC Drop, one of my new jams. But if you create chaos like this where you can't keep track it hurts your head. I don't really enjoy Grey except for Crown. So yeah. The production kills this song, but Maren Morris is fine.

    3. My My My!
    4. Whatever It Takes
    5. I Fall Apart

    Why Don't You Just Blurb Me In The Middle
    I talked about End Game in the intro. Our top 5 looks atrocious. Wolves is the only bad+ song. I really hope One Foot can reach #1, that would be so fun. How Long is probably heading downward now. I don't get what Ahead Of Myself is doing in the top 10. And that is really all about the top 10. Not much is happening in this section.

    Nice to see River back at #12. I really thought that this guy was done for, so I was really happy when I didn't hear it until #12. Lights Down Low up there too is funny.

    However, our top 20 is congested with awful music. Tell me what Beautiful Trauma is doing way up there on its second week. What is so good about this song? Love So Soft is popular nowhere else to my recognition, certainly not with me. Never Be The Same is Camila's worst. Hopefully we can get rid of this stuff ASAP.

    It is VERY nice to see Let You Down jump that much on its second week. That song really is fantastic and I hope it can continue its run!

    I think Havana's drop was really unnecessary. I still love the song and it is still popular. That was sad for me.

    I'm glad to see FIlthy drop so much even before JT's big performance! Hopefully he doesn't perform this, but he probably will, which will result in this jumping or Say Something debuting, both of which I really do not want.

    Nice to see Strip That Down go. One step closer to a fresh countdown. Not that I want much of the Hit-Bound songs to debut. Speaking of which, most of them aren't really Hit-Bound.

    It really was unfortunate to see Dusk Till Dawn go without anything happening. At least it made the top 10 for a week. But otherwise, its tenure was pathetic. I don't see anything wrong with this song at all. This song, in my opinion, is as close to perfect as you can get. Too bad.

    Top 5:
    1. Let You Down
    2. Rockstar
    3. Lights Down Low
    4. River
    5. Hold Me Tight Or Don't

    Bottom 5:
    1. Beautiful Trauma
    2. Too Good At Goodbyes
    3. What About Us
    4. Good Old Days
    5. There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back

    #1 recommendation for Hits 1: BTS/Steve Aoki/probably without Desiigner - MIC Drop
    Throwback pick of the week: Linkin Park - In The End [back to listening to them over and over and Over Again]
    Most missed countdown song: Hey Violet - Guys My Age

    Thanks for viewing!

    1. First, and I know that I can't tell you this, but Jenna Calandra has "Stay" and "I'll Be."
