The Chainsmokers/Halsey (1) - October 1, 2016

Yes, that title says Halsey and not Daya. This was a great week, although probably my favorite song of the year left. That song is okay for now, but RIP to it anyway.

Also, yesterday was my birthday, and I turned 13. I got a drone, and I crashed it on its first flight. The drone is safe, but one of the propellers broke, so I used a replacement propeller. Here are the exits this week:

It's the Little Blurbs in Life That I Feel

I wasn't really a fan of I Hate U, I Love U until the Hits 1 remix came along. The remix is actually really catchy. But in both versions, I must admit that Gnash sounds a little bit like Jacob Sartorius. (Sorry!)

I've been enjoying the Little Things since when it debuted Hit-Bound in August. Very catchy song and I hope it doesn't drop on its second week like Let Me Love You.

Did anyone notice that for 7 Years, the artist title was "Lukas Nelson/Willie Nelson"? Maybe Scott? Anyone else that was listening to the countdown? Anyway, this song needs to LEAVE!!!

I'm tired of Setting the World on Fire because my art teacher plays a lot of country music. I remember that he played that song twice, I think.

3 of the 4 songs that have spent 3 weeks on the chart are right next to each other.

Last week, I said that I wanted Unsteady as the biggest drop this week. But I changed my mind. Yes, I did grow into Unsteady a little. So I want Can't Stop the Feeling to be the biggest drop next week.

And there goes Ride at lightning speed. Now, it's back to blue. Yet it was most wutchuwanted on Hit-Bound.

Cold Water is like so popular right now. I hope it makes top 10.

Thank you for voting one of my favorite songs to #1. You're awesome.

Speaking of the #1, Closer, that had the biggest jump to #1 this year, beating out Hello and One Call Away by 2 spots. Ironically, on #40Friday this week, a song had a tie for the biggest jump to #1. Look at this week's #40Friday here.

My top 5 countdown (#40Friday position/countdown position)

Red Dress needs to leave. If this song stays another week

• I will be mad. Again.
• it will be the longest-running Hit-Bound song this year, beating The Sound.

Also, this debuted Hit-Bound 6 weeks before our #1, Closer, was even released. Now that's something. This was on Hit-Bound with Send My Love (To Your New Lover)!

I'm not really a fan of This Town. It's pretty boring, but hopefully he will release some upbeat music sometime.

My top 5 Hit-Bound
