Love Like We Used To re-entered this week. I don't think we've had a Hit-Bound (or countdown) re-entry in a long time.
I have to admit, Hallelujah is kind of beautiful. And it is a long song.
I think I've lost hope in She Sets the City on Fire. I can not see it debuting the countdown. Oh well. But just please get Guys My Age on the countdown before it's too late. Same with HandClap!
Did In My Mind seriously have to leave Hit-Bound? Two weeks was just not enough.
All of my top 5 picks were in the top 10 of this week's #40Friday.
Top 5 Picks
5. Fitz and the Tantrums - HandClap
4. Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello - Bad Things
3. Lukas Graham - You're Not There
2. Gavin DeGraw - She Sets the City on Fire
1. Hey Violet - Guys My Age
YouTube 15

- The Weeknd/Daft Punk - Starboy
- Gnash/Johnny Yukon - Home
- The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer
- Daniel Skye - Last Call
I like Jumpshot, but the high-pitched chorus vocals are a little annoying. But the Dessert high-pitched vocals will always stay with me.
I'm surprised that Heathens and Treat You Better are still here. They've been out for a long time.
Top 5 Picks
5. Dawin - Jumpshot
4. Yellow Claw/Yade Lauren - Love and War
3. Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Walking in My Sleep
2. The Chainsmokers/XYLØ - Setting Fires
1. Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
I Don't Wanna Blurb Forever
We had our first 0-exit week since September 10, I believe. I honestly don't know what's going on with the low amount of exits in the past year. Maybe it's because of a lack of good music, or that there aren't a lot of popular songs, or maybe because Hit-Bound has been filled with unpopular music.
That was a big drop for Let Me Love You. But I don't care.
My Way and Girls Talk Boys switched spots for the second time in a row.
It looks like Love Me Now hit the top 30. That's just great.
I'm ready to turn Hymn For the Weekend to red. That's how sick I am of this song.
Unsteady hanging out in the teens and 20s is going to be a problem. In fact, it already is.
Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic said that his favorite Christmas song of the past 10 years is Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas is You, which is probably my favorite too. The only problem that neither Ryan nor Spyder pointed out? It's over 20 years old! Then Ryan is an idiot? :P (jk no)
I'm fine with the #1. I just don't want it to be Closer again.

#40Friday is out. Can Clean Bandit hold at #1 with their new single, Rockabye? Click HERE to find out!
Most Missed Songs: 5 Seconds of Summer - She's Kinda Hot and Wax - Rosana
#1 Recommendations for Hits 1: AJR - Weak and Stevie Wonder/Ariana Grande - Faith (I did happen to see Sing last night, it was a great movie)
And for Parker, 2016 was the year of chilling out and eating pizza (yes, that's me)
Also, I did not eat that pizza, I just took a picture with it. Just wanted to take a pizza selfie for the blog.
[Edited a year later] Nope, don't want anyone to see my selfie lol.
MORE Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness? DREAM CAME TRUE!
ReplyDeleteI just heard walking in my sleep, and it's just as i imagined.
DeleteSince there were no exits this week, it looks like the streak of the first week of every year with no exits will be broken.
ReplyDeleteI did hear the new Yellow Claw song yesterday and I liked it. It's nowhere near as good as Ocho Cinco or In My Room though.
Speaking of COAEP, since Quavo is probably going to break the record with his third #1 song soon, I changed the home and lock screen on my phone to a cool picture of him. Maybe that'll bring more luck to his songs on the chart.
Even though January 4, 2014 had no exits, the week before it (December 28, 2013) also had no exits.
DeleteI think that there was a lack of good music this year.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I would like AJR - Weak.
ReplyDeleteListen to it.
DeleteWax - Rosana actually has more of a throwback pick than it being a most missed song.
ReplyDeleteI don't do throwback picks, really.
DeleteHey it's you Charles with the pizza.
ReplyDeleteYes it is!

DeleteOther boring countdowns include...
DeleteThis week, 01/18/14, 03/29/14, 01/17/15, 05/18/13, 02/21/15, 05/07/11, 04/28/12, 10/17/15, 08/29/15, 07/16/11, 03/02/13, 10/06/12 (Yes, My 13th birthday weekend was boring.), 06/29/13, 04/26/14, 05/10/14, 07/30/16, 11/24/12, 05/05/12, 09/07/13, 09/14/13, 03/07/15, and many more.
Oh yeah 05/18/13 was a 7 exit week, but it came out really boring.
DeleteI'm surprised that you think that 5-7 exit weeks are really boring even though you're happy about the number of exits.
DeleteSometimes, a 5-7 exit week has really good exits that don't deserve to leave which make them boring. I love both on the 8 exit weeks in 2011 and 05/18/13 and 11/19/11 are the only 7 exit weeks I know that were not A weeks. 05/18/13 was boring because my favorite song of the countdown at that time, With Ur Love left that week. 0 exit weeks are never interesting and 1 exits weeks are barely interesting. I'd love to see a 6+ DTHNOB week in the future because it'll be more interesting. They're more interesting because there are more new entrants to talk about.
DeleteAnd I said that 03/23/13, a 6 DTHNOB week, was one of the best Weekend Countdowns ever.
DeleteAnd 05/18/13, 02/21/15, & 08/29/15 are the only boring 6+ exit weeks in my opinion. All the other 6+ exit weeks are interesting.
Delete07/09/11 is my most favorite weekend countdown ever.
DeleteAnd 01/26/13 is my least favorite ever.
DeleteFrom the last 2 comments, the former had 8 exits which is the most ever while the latter has no exits, the same as this week.
DeleteAnd the reason which 5 exit weeks like 01/17/15 and 05/10/14 were boring because both weeks involved more than half of the songs leaving in an early boot thus I still really liked them.
DeleteThough, I did hear the entire HitBound list from 05/10/14 and it wasn't boring because it was my 1st time listening to a lot of songs.
DeleteLike Wiggle, I Will Never Let You Down, etc...
Delete
