It's February 20, 2016 in the back of a car driving home. I was hoping that Adele - Hello would not hit #1. Then I am relieved when it plays at #3. So who is taking the lead this week, DNCE - Cake By the Ocean or Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out? I didn't care either way, but I was hoping it would be the latter. Then Cake By the Ocean plays at #2 and I was so happy I was like jumping in my seat. And that was my reaction to the #1 song of 2016's first week at #1. End of story! Here are the poll results this week. There were a lot of votes this week.

Cold is a pretty fun song. I think it's better than Don't Wanna Know. I like the chorus a lot. Also this only came out on Tuesday, 4 days ago. That may be one of the shortest times to debut the countdown.
Chained to the Rhythm is an example of a great comeback. I really like the verses, chorus, and bridge. It's just catchy.

After three months of patiently waiting, one of my #40Friday number-ones has debuted by the name of Rockabye. I do not see at all what is wrong with this song. The EDM is catchy and the vocals are well-done. So yeah. Please debut.
I don't care for the other two debuts much, but they're good at least.

This week marks the 3-year anniversary of Adrian's famous turquoise color, which is about equivalent to yellow on my blog.Good riddance I Hate U, I Love U. You are added to the forgotten songs list.
Okay, #42 just bothers me. This is not a proper tenure. 7 Years should have had this tenure, this should have had Mama Said's tenure, and Mama Said should have had 7 Years' tenure.
Chase You Down dropping to the bottom 5 like this? Unfair. Enough said.
I'm very happy with the big jumps from Issues and That's What I Like. Welcome to the top 20!
I was just growing into Love Me Now! It shouldn't have dropped that hard.
Speaking of songs I'm growing into, Don't Wanna Know. It was only in blue but it's still kinda fun to listen to in the car.
I said I didn't want All Time Low in the top 5! I'm getting tired of this...
Top 5 Picks
5. Hey Violet - Guys My Age
4. Machine Gun Kelly/Camila Cabello - Bad Things
3. Fitz and the Tantrums - HandClap
2. Ed Sheeran - Shape of You
1. Bebe Rexha - I Got You
#40Friday is out! This week, I Got You hit #1 again. Read the full chart HERE.
Most Missed Song: Fifth Harmony/Kid Ink - Worth It
#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Marian Hill - Down
Guess the song
- It debuted the week before a 0-exit week.
- It was on the countdown in 2015, but Chase recommended it to Hits 1 in 2016.
- Adrian never had this song in green.
- [Comment if you need another hint]
The Mowglis - I'm Good. If it's not this song, please give me another hint.
ReplyDeleteIncorrect. Hint: It was from the same time period as your guess.
DeleteTear In My Heart
DeleteAmerican Authors - Go Big Or Go Home
DeleteTwenty One Pilots - Tear In My Heart did not debut a week before a no exit week.
DeleteAnd Adrian did have it in green before.
DeleteThat was just a wild guess.
DeleteWAMB10 is correct.
DeleteAre you sure chase recommended GBOGH?
DeleteI can't find the link to it but I know for sure he did.
DeleteIs it ride?
DeleteI'm surprised you don't like Night Changes. I really love it, and it'll most likely be in my top 50 songs of all-time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I could not agree any more about All Time Low.
And this is a random question, but have you ever heard the remix of My N***a by YG? It's really good. If not, you should listen to it. I just heard it this morning and I remembered about how much I love it.
DeleteWhere did you find his opinion on Night Changes on this post?
DeleteThe top 5 for 2/21/15.
DeleteOh, I was looking for the red songs only, sorry.
Delete-Night Changes is boring.
Delete-I think I listened to it once or skimmed through it but I don't remember it.

ReplyDeleteDid you actually just curse? I've never seen that before.
DeleteWhat did it say? If you don't know you can check your email and it'll say.
Delete"F*** ., he's nasty"
DeleteAnd he actually said the F-word without censoring it? Chase...
DeleteSadly, I don't think that Guys My Age will last very long on the countdown.
ReplyDeleteProbably about 10 weeks maybe.
DeleteYeah...
DeleteWhen will the year in review page come out?
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it little by little. It will be out in like a couple of weeks.

On that note, had That's What I Like and Issues switched spots, three songs would've been tied for the biggest jump of the week.
ReplyDeleteOn DSR, Hits 1 stopped playing your #5 on your top 5 countdown song picks.
ReplyDeleteTherefore it's going to have a very short countdown tenure.
