Week #7

Sorry about the delay. I am really busy nowadays. Colour coding back next week.

I feel that more and more good music is coming out, considering that it IS the tie of year that seems to be a dull point in music, at least in my opinion. A few weeks ago, I was listening to three or four songs only on youtube when I was doing work, but now I have tens of songs roaming around in my head that I love.

Comments on debuts:
Last week had no debuts, so we have three to cover from this week.

I have slightly grown into Say Something, but I find it repetitive, but really unique. It reminds me of a song but I really have no clue which one. This is without question the best of the three songs JT recently released. I can understand the praise, but I am not too much of a fan.

I loved Youth, and now My My My! is the next big one from Troye Sivan. It took me some time to grow into this one. I really love the build up, and the chorus is great. Troye Sivan is really a cool artist and I look forward to seeing this one rise.

I have nothing against AJR and that opinion is apparently unpopular. But I like the words to Sober Up and it is catchy. The production is nice and I will continue to enjoy it no matter how much you guys destroy this song.

~I didn't know half of these songs when I saw this list, so I spent quite of time listening to them.

~On The Loose is better than Slow Hands, but not much of a grower. Young Dumb And Broke already had a run on the radio. I used to like it but it got repetitive and Khalid's voice is bad in my opinion.

~Pray For Me is absolutely fantastic. I love the production and the vocals, especially Kendrick's verse. Those are some good words. One of my local stations cut out the verse and the song is like two minutes long. So I am glad that Hits 1 kept this exceptional rapping and I hope that this song can do well.

~This Is Me on Hit-Bound makes no sense. The song itself is anoying in some parts but cool at others. It really sounds like a movie song. These Days is an okay song. I don't really have much to say about it.

~Best Friend is gone sadly, but Sick Boy will be back next week.

I blurb every night with you
Not much happened this week. However, FIlthy gone is fantastic, Hot Damn was never important, and Attention stuck with me as the last good song to be at #1 for many, many weeks in 2017-18.

How on Earth is Shawn Mendes still here? I mean, come on. How this song was overhyped, I don't know. It really is atrociously repetitive and I really don't get the appeal. I never ever hear it anymore. It should have been gone a long time ago.

When I heard that River had the biggest drop I freaked out, but I calmed down after realizing that it dropped only five spots. That isn't really worthy of such a title, is it?

There were also two songs that shared the biggest drop which really wasn't big. They both are bad and deserve the title, but then again, five spots isn't anything.

Let You Down in the top 10 is marvelous. Keep pushing!

Lights Down low actually hit a peak this week. I still adore this song, and the fact that it is still gaining is astonishing.

Really nothing happened this week.

Throwback pick of the week: Timbaland/OneRepublic - Apologize
Most missed countdown song: Linkin Park/Kiiara - Heavy
