New Entrants

Greenlight makes a great party song like most other Pitbull songs. I'd like to see this one do well on the countdown.

Vocals: 16/20

Lyrics/Meaning: 4/10

Overall Verses: 8/10

Overall Pre-Chorus: 4/5

Overall Chorus: 9.5/10

Overall Bridge: 9/10

Total: 59.5/75 (7.9/10)

My Opinion: 9.5/10

Fifth Harmony brings That's My Girl, another song from 7/27. I think Work From Home will be probably 10 times as popular as this one, but I think it will do well on this countdown. It's very catchy, so why not?

My Opinion: 10/10

Jon Bellion is back after last year's [Hits 1 flop] Beautiful Now. All Time Low is much different from Beautiful Now. It's kinda weird and, I know I mentioned this before, but I feel like this is a song made for Hit-Bound. It has that weird factor to it. But anyway, this song is good. Let's see if it has countdown success. It probably will as it's doing well on radio charts, which I probably wouldn't have expected.

How the heck is New Romantics still here? It's been here forever.

Yay, new peak for Chase You Down! At...#31. :|

So, Daya and Zedd exchanged numbers? Is this for a collaboration or for something else? Hmm...

I'm a little surprised that Bacon didn't drop by more than a few spots. It didn't have many spins.

There goes Unsteady.

I have a strange feeling that Scars to Your Beautiful has already hit its peak.

Please get 24K Magic in the top 10 soon!

Why are the biggest drops and jumps so small lately?

Goodbye Mama Said, you will be remembered as one of the best songs of the year. You will be missed.

Most Missed Songs

• The Chainsmokers/Rozes - Roses: Heard this at the basketball game last night.
• Galantis - Runaway (U and I): I love this song! I also heard this at the basketball game last night.
• Every song from 2014-2015: This week, I made a Spotify playlist for this certain year. I listened to it so much! From listening to that playlist, I added New Politics - Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens), Rixton - Wait on Me, and Ed Sheeran - Don't to my Spotify, even though I have liked that last one ever since. And the first one is just great. :)

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Spencer Ludwig - Diggy (Finally heard this on Venus!)
