Biggest Drop: One Direction - Drag Me Down (-15)

Biggest Jump: Justin Bieber/Ed Sheeran - Love Yourself (+19)

Entering:
Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean? re-entered OUT OF NOWHERE.

G-Eazy/Bebe Rexha - Me, Myself & I got a lot of airplay this week, so it obviously debuted this week.

One Direction - History is good too. I'm happy it debuted the countdown.

Fifth Harmony - Work From Home is the best of the debuts.

Comments:
Come on Tori Kelly - Hollow! You can make a comeback!

James Bay - Let it Go went down on its second week.

One Direction and Justin Bieber now each have 3 songs on the countdown.

MØ - Kamikaze is so close to a new peak.

Dawin - Dessert reached a new peak.

Justin Bieber/Ed Sheeran - Love Yourself made a comeback jump.

I think Taylor Swift - New Romantics is my second-favorite song on the countdown, just behind Meghan Trainor - No.

Speaking of No, the music video was released this week. I do not like it. But I still like the song.

Welcome back to the top 15, Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out.

I thought Adele - Hello would be in the Top 2 this week.

I never thought of Flo Rida - My House as a Top 10 song, or even a #2 song.

So this was a good week. Next week we should have a lot of exits.

Charlie Puth (1) - March 19, 2016

1. Charlie Puth - One Call Away (#8)

Biggest Drop: One Direction - Drag Me Down (-23)
Biggest Jump: Tied between Taylor Swift - New Romantics and Fall Out Boy/Demi Lovato - Irresistible (+17)

Entrants:
We the Kings - The Story of Tonight is good. Since it only has 141,000 plays on Spotify, I didn't expect it to debut.

My favorite of the two debuts is James Bay - Let it Go. My mom and I really like it.

Comments:
Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams suffered a big drop to #43 this week. It dropped one more than Jason Derulo - Get Ugly, which also dropped to #43 last week.

Something just bugs me about The Vamps - Wake Up. I don't know what it is.

We never get 20+ spot drops anymore. And we got one two three this week. 

I really thought Justin Bieber/Ed Sheeran - Love Yourself could hit #1 last week. It probably won't now.

Ouch. One Direction - Drag Me Down fell 23 spots from #2.

Ouch. Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out fell 20 spots last week from #1.

How did Rihanna/Drake - Work drop? I thought this song was popular. And it tied for the biggest jump last week. 

Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out and Taylor Swift - New Romantics were 36 spots away from each other last week. Now they're right next to each other.

We have a Meghan Trainor - No sandwich. The bread: the two bad songs of the countdown.

Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer is not at #10 after being at #10 for four weeks in a row.

I really thought Adele - Hello could be #1 this week. I'm glad it didn't.

I didn't think Zayn - Pillowtalk, Rachel Platten - Stand By You, and Charlie Puth - One Call Away even had a chance in the Top 3 this week. But they did.

Maybe next week will be interesting too.

Twenty One Pilots (3) - March 12, 2016

Correct predictions:
Ed Sheeran - Photograph leaving.
Shawn Mendes - Stitches at #35.
Meghan Trainor - No debuting.
Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams at #27.
Lukas Graham - 7 Years at #18.
The Weeknd - In the Night at #12.
Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer at #10.
Flo Rida - My House at #6.
DNCE - Cake by the Ocean at #4.

Comments:

You can now look at all the songs on the countdown (currently) that have hit #1 that week or previously on the side of my blog.

Meghan Trainor has done two things this week: debuted No and hosted the countdown.

Ellie Goulding - On My Mind, Elle King - Ex's & Oh's, and Tori Kelly - Hollow made quite a comeback.

I think 5 Seconds of Summer - Jet Black Heart is now bad. But not the worst on the countdown...

Dawin - Dessert has been on the countdown for the fifth week. It has always been either #21, #22, #23, or #24.

I thought Panic! at the Disco - Victorious would have gone down this week (and it did). It re-entering again was odd.

Now that is the jump from Troye Sivan - Youth I have been waiting for. It should have jumped last week.

Like Youth, Rihanna/Drake - Work also jumped 16 spots. I'm wondering what this song will be next week.

Is it odd that Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer is at #10 for the fourth week in a row?

Adele - Hello at #3? What?

Hopefully a lot of songs will exit the countdown next week.

Alessia Cara - Here and Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer have been at the same spot for three weeks in a row.

The first jump on the countdown was Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams at #27. Interesting!

I'm disappointed that Justin Bieber - Sorry dropped 13.

Lukas Graham - 7 Years was the only debut that I predicted.

Walk the Moon - Shut up and Dance has left after over a year on the countdown.

Best Song: MØ - Kamikaze
Worst Song: Lukas Graham - 7 Years
