Adele is a good singer, so this song grade is going to be pretty high. I think this is a good song. It's not her best. Her best would be Send My Love (To Your New Lover). But this fits in well on the countdown.
Vocals: 20/20
Lyrics/Meaning: 9/10
Melody/Beat: 9/10
Verses: 9/10
Pre-Chorus: 4.5/5
Chorus: 9/10
(Water Under the) Bridge: 9/10
Total: 69.5/75 (9.3/10)
My Opinion: 9/10
Hit-Bound
- James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go
- Charli XCX - After the Afterparty (DEBUT)
- Lukas Graham - You're Not There
- Daya - Words
- Gavin DeGraw - She Sets the City on Fire
- John Legend - Love Me Now
- Captain Cuts/Nateur - Love Like We Used To
- Lady Gaga - Million Reasons
- Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello - Bad Things (DEBUT)
- Calum Scott - Dancing on My Own
- Dua Lipa - Blow Your Mind (Mwah)
- Shawn Mendes - Mercy
- Fitz and the Tantrums - HandClap
- Rihanna - Love on the Brain
It's a coincidence that After the Afterparty is debuting on Hit-Bound just about two years after Break the Rules debuted the countdown. Anyway this song is super catchy and her best besides Break the Rules, which was her best song, and Doing It.
Bad Things was okay, but I grew into it.
I'm shocked that The Night is Young left Hit-Bound. I actually thought it might debut the countdown but it had only like 6 spins between Monday and Friday. This is The Summer Set's best song and I was growing back into it.
Top 5 Picks
5. Captain Cuts/Nateur - Love Like We Used To
4. Charli XCX - After the Afterparty
3. Daya - Words
2. Lukas Graham - You're Not There
1. Gavin DeGraw - She Sets the City on Fire

Blurbs Under the Bridge
I guess I grew back into Bacon a little when listening to it. Huh.
I kinda want Stressed Out to hit a year on the countdown. I used to love this song and it probably will be TOP's best. I hope it hits #1 on the year-end list too over Can't Stop the Feeling.
For Daniel: Spyder mentioned the show Train Tracks on the Pulse when introducing Play That Song.
Not to upset you Miles, but we seriously need more activity on this countdown. We've had a whopping 5 exits in the past 4 weeks, no re-entries in 7 months, no 3-exit weeks since November 5, no 6+ exit weeks in a year, and this is the third week in a row with 1 exit.
Oh man, a lot of people are going to be mad about Unsteady's jump. I think it's had enough time in the top 20.
Cold Water just pulled a Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down in a way by having the biggest drop and then shot back up the countdown by having the biggest jump. But I Will Never Let You Down literally dropped out of the countdown from the teens and re-entered back in the teens that next week.
This week's top 10 entrants consist of one boring song, one old song that should leave the top 10, and one song that I'm surprised hit the top 10 so late.
There's a woman on Twitter that has an autistic son who follows Hits 1. She posted a picture of some of his picks for best and worst countdowns of the year. Here it is in text because the picture is huge:
Best Countdown of the Year: 5/14/16
Worst Countdown of the Year: 2/20/16
Other Countdowns I Really Liked: 3/5/16, 3/26/16, 4/9/16, 5/7/16, 6/11/16
Wackiest Countdown of the Year: 3/19/16
You gotta agree with him on that last pick.
Top 5 Picks
5. Runaground - Chase You Down
4. Martin Garrix/Bebe Rexha - In the Name of Love
3. Train - Play That Song
2. Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl
1. Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
#40Friday is out! Will The Weeknd hold at #1 with False Alarm? Find out here.
Most Missed Song: Once again, none, which means I'm randomly picking from the 2014-2015 playlist: Ariana Grande/Zedd - Break Free.
#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: Clean Bandit/Sean Paul/Anne-Marie - Rockabye
My art teacher actually said that there's a chance of snow in my area on Thursday. Wow, that's actually pretty early for the first snow.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how you had Bacon in blue last week when it was #1 on 40 Friday not too long ago.
And I'm assuming Hits 1 cut out Lil Yachty's verse in After The Afterparty.
My area sometimes has snow in early November, but this year it first snowed on November 20, without any accumulation. But last year it snowed in mid-OCTOBER. But there was no accumulation for that snow either.
DeleteI randomly grew out of that song. :|
They did.
The earliest it usually snows around here is January, and late December on rare occasions. It was still in the 70s and 80s on some days in November.
DeleteI just checked AccuWeather and 78 degrees was the record high in November for my area.
Deletewhat's you bottom 5?
ReplyDeleteI don't feel like doing the bottom 5 anymore. But IHUILU is #2 and STWOF is #1.
Deletewhat's number 3 4 5 though?
DeleteIdk.
Deletelet me guess:
Delete3: We don't talk anymore
4: this is what you came for
5: Can't stop the feeling
Probably 3) CSTF, 4) ITAPII, 5) WDTA.
Delete"for daniel" part: Mikey piff mentioned it too on hit-bound, Which is not suprise, saying that:
ReplyDelete1: Pat monahan, the lead singer of train, hosts the show
2: Play that song has been on it 5 times, and there is a new train song on train tracks.
Why didn't you add 06/18/16 or 10/22/16 in the other countdowns that you really liked? Oh yeah, the song you randomly picked from the playlist is my favorite song of all time.
ReplyDeleteAnd be patient, I think we will have A LOT of 6+ exit weeks next year.
DeleteI told to sirius XM on Instagram that we need 6+ exit weeks in the future.
DeleteRead above and below the best/worst countdowns section.
DeleteOh wait, I actually thought it was you.
DeleteWackiest Week Of 2015: 01/31/15
DeleteWackiest Week Of 2014: 09/13/14
Wackiest Week Of 2013: 08/24/13
Wackiest Week Of 2012: 02/04/12
Wackiest Week Of 2011: 07/09/11
I also actually agree with the wackiest Week Of this year.
He put 05/07/16 as one of the good countdowns. I actually have to disagree with that.
