New Entrants

Chase You Down is a nice song. If you look up Runaground on Spotify, you'll see that he does covers of popular songs like Send My Love (To Your New Lover) and Let Me Love You. Hopefully we'll hear more from him.

Next, The Greatest. Quite a fun song that's been in the teens on #40Friday a lot. Good luck to you on the countdown. Also, Sia released the deluxe version of This is Acting yesterday.

The next debut is one of two debuts in the top 20, which is rare. I like how Alessia Cara is just one of those singers who doesn't sing about *** (I'm not going to say it), even though I do like songs about that. Her songs are pretty good. Scars to Your Beautiful doesn't hit the height of Wild Things or Here, but it's pretty good.

Finally, Maroon 5's comeback single, Don't Wanna Know. It's not amazing, not top 10 worthy, but it's good. I would like other singles like Animals or Maps or Sugar on their next album, which my mom agrees with. She actually said that she likes when Adam gets angry in his songs (no joke!)

Blurbing You Down

Completely unexpected and disappointing exit from The Little Things this week. I'm not happy about this. Re-entry soon?

Fresh Eyes has spent three weeks on the chart and it hasn't made top 30 yet. Also very disappointing.

I'm officially going to call Perfect Illusion a flop. How did it even become a flop anyway? Was it her voice?

About time Cake By the Ocean and Victorious left.

Victorious is our first DTHNOBx2 (or x3) since The Weeknd - In the Night when that left in June. But now, there are no re-entrants on this countdown.

Get My Way up higher!

Stressed Out won't give up without a fight! Could it still be here at the end of the year? More importantly, will it be #1 of the year?

Huh, Starboy is dropping and it's #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 right now. So it should be jumping, even though I'm losing interest in it.

Don't Wanna Know is the highest debut of the year, with Scars to Your Beautiful tied for second.

 

For both times Victorious left, Brendon Urie (aka the singer for Panic!) hosted Hit-Bound.

Hit-Bound:

• John Legend - Love Me Now (DEBUT)
• Gavin DeGraw - She Sets the City on Fire (DEBUT)
• Pitbull/Flo Rida/Lunchmoney Lewis - Greenlight
• Rihanna - Love on the Brain (DEBUT)
• Jon Bellion - All Time Low
• Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl (DEBUT)
• Shawn Mendes - Mercy
• Magic! - Red Dress
• Mike Posner - Be as You Are
• DNCE - Body Moves
• Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side to Side
• Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You
• Bastille - Good Grief
• Jason Derulo - Kiss the Sky

Four debuts to go through this week. I'll start with the worst, John Legend - Love Me Now. I thought I could handle this song but I just can't. It's better than All of Me, but it's not good. I'd rate it a 2/10.

Then comes She Sets the City on Fire. Sure, I like it.

Fifth Harmony released the very catchy That's My Girl recently. I hope it does well on the countdown.

Believe it or not, Love on the Brain is the best debut. This type of slow song is pretty soothing to me. It definitely should debut the countdown.

Red Dress has now been on Hit-Bound for 4 months. AJR - Infinity was on Hit-Bound for almost 6 months and it still debuted the countdown. I doubt Red Dress will pull an Infinity, but maybe it will stay for 6 months and not debut the countdown.

Top 5 Picks: Hit-Bound

5. Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl

4. DNCE - Body Moves

3. Rihanna - Love on the Brain

2. Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side to Side

1. Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You

#40Friday is out! Will Jacob Sartorius (ikr) hold on to #1 for a second week with All My Friends? See it here.

#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: Marshmello - Alone

Most Missed Song: MisterWives - Reflections

Also, today and tomorrow are important dates in Hits 1 and music's histories. First, CountdownRecap posted his first countdown: October 22, 2011, 5 years ago today, even though it was posted on October 25. Without him, we all wouldn't be blogging these countdowns. The #1 then was Gym Class Heroes/Adam Levine - Stereo Hearts. See the first countdown post here.

Second, on October 23 last year, two very popular songs were released: Adele - Hello and Justin Bieber - Sorry. Because Hello was the comeback song for Adele, Sorry didn't get as much popularity as Hello. It did hit #2 here though and it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Also, I haven't told you this before, but I didn't like Hello when it first came out.
