This was a bad countdown, filled with an upsetting exit, a big drop from a great song, two good songs flopping, four great songs making small drops, and worst of all, a 20+ spot biggest jump from the worst song on this countdown. There were some good things happening, like a great song debuting, a couple of great songs jumping, and another great song new to the top 5. We also had a great song holding at #1. Here are this week's poll results.

New Entrants
Starting off with the lowest debut. I don't see it as boring, and honestly I kinda like the raindrop sound in the song. The chorus is fun even though the entire song is slow. I like the weirdness in the song. This should definitely be jumping soon.
Heavy is pretty good but I have to agree with Adrian on the vocals from that guy from Linkin Park. They aren't good enough and Kiiara sounds pretty good instead. I enjoy the chorus of this song.
It Ain't Me isn't Selena's best but it's a nice song. Kygo provides nice EDM for this song. I don't have much more to say about it.

For Something Just Like This, just read the 10th blurb.
I like Stay. The drop is pretty enjoyable for me. Cara's vocals are great.
Everyday is catchy in my opinion. I don't see it being too big though.
I didn't review this song last week, but I like Touch. It's better than Shout Out to My Ex in my opinion. The chorus is really good.
Thank goodness for Dancing on My Own leaving! That was really boring, and many others agree with me.
Since #40Friday is postponed to today, there will be no top 5 picks this week.
All You Have to Do is Make Me (Blurb)
I liked all three of our exits this week. In the Name of Love I would probably be getting sick of soon. Don't Let Me Down was still good as it is probably their best song. Chase You Down was the most painful exit in my opinion. I was still enjoying it pretty much and it really is a beautiful song. Goodbye to all three of you, I will miss you all.
I think I'm just going to have to live with You're Not There flopping. It was a nice song and it definitely deserved better.
After the Afterparty took a harsh drop this week. I am slowly growing out of that song, but I hope it doesn't exit like Chase You Down.
Love on the Brain seems to be taking the path that You're Not There took. I don't want another good song flopping, but I guess Adrian does for this one. I hope it jumps, as it is the #4 most played song on pop radio right now.
I've decided to place Treat You Better in red, as it is too old for me to listen to it.
I really would not want to see Guys My Age be a flop. It's too cool of a song to do that. At least top 25, please.
Why in the world is I Got You dropping? I'm going to scream if this happens again.
I am not happy with Issues and That's What I Like dropping out of the top 20, as well as I Feel it Coming with the top 15. All of them better re-enter soon.
That 21-spot jump from the absolute worst song on the countdown makes me furious. Please do not jump any higher or even worse, become a big hit.
I am honestly getting sick of The Chainsmokers. They're like the Taylor Swift of 2016, and don't ask how I wouldn't have gotten sick of her. I never even thought Paris was a great song.
Thank goodness for Bad Things in the top 5. This song deserves its recognition on Hits 1.
If you didn't see above, this week 2 years ago had the debut of Walk the Moon - Shut Up and Dance. It was a nice song and even though I didn't follow the countdown back then, I heard it in the car for the first time on the day it debuted. I got it on Spotify that day and it was a pretty good song even though it was overplayed.

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Marian Hill - Down
Guess the song
- I debuted on the same week at least one song re-entered.
- I was #13 on my 14th week, which was also the week a song jumped to #1 for the first time from #5.
- I was in turquoise for Adrian when I left, and I left on a week with at least 5 exits.
- [Comment if you need another hint]
What year was it?
ReplyDelete2014.
DeleteNice post! And for the guess the song is it Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better?
ReplyDeleteAnother one...correct.
DeleteAlso it's been 1 year since I started blogging. Yay!
ReplyDeleteBleachers - I Wanna Get Better
ReplyDeleteCorrect but too late. Sorry. :|
Delete., if next week has 7 exits, you'll be feeling much better and already get this week over.
ReplyDeleteLooks at the hit-bound exit: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDancing on My Own be-gone party starts now!
ReplyDeleteSo, what is it that everyone hates about the song?
DeleteIts boring, bland, awful vocals, and its just a terrible ballad cover of an otherwise good party dance song.
Delete^
DeleteAny songs you wish could replace it?
DeleteCalum Scott can't even sing.
DeleteAriana Grande - Everyday replaced it which makes me happy.
DeleteNo.
DeleteAnything that's going to be in the top 10 on COAEP this week. (Yes, it's going to look COMPLETELY different)
DeleteWhat's your rating of the song? I say a 3/10.
Delete1.5/10. When I did my WC post, I almost put it in orange on Hitbound over Love On The Brain.
DeleteI was asking everyone BTW.
DeleteAnything that's not a boring R&B ballad, a shitty rap song, a ear killing emo/screamo/metal song, a song from an artist I don't know/don't care about, and a bro-country song.
DeleteI can't think of any song I want to be the 15th song on Hit-Bound at all.
I give it a solid 2/10.
Anything else about the song?
DeleteNot really.
DeleteYes, I'm so pissed that it got somewhat big in the first place.
DeleteAgahenejsjnejksjen THIS IS STUPID!!!
Delete1.5/10
DeleteOne of the company dancers from my sister's dance studio has a solo of that song.
Does anyone think it'll still debut the AT40?
DeleteNah. It might be a breakout, but it ain't gonna debut.
DeleteThough if I'm going too answer your questions, I'd rate it an 8.5/10. To be honest though, I wouldn't see it that bad that you need a departure party. And to replace it, I think if any song has a moderate chance of debuting that I'd like, probably I'll go with rather Ocean Park Standoff-Good news or Milky Chance-Cocoon. The former is worse and has a higher chance of debuting, but I'd still want both no matter how low the chances are.
DeleteMy rating: 0.3/10 (Garbage)
DeleteTwo last memories:
DeleteSomebody said you got a new friend
Does she love you better than I can?
There's a big black sky over my town
I know where you're at, I bet she's around
And yeah, I know it's stupid
But I just gotta see it for myself
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh oh oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh oh oh
And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
I'm just wanna dance all night
And I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line, yeah
Stilettos and broken bottles
I'm spinning around in circles
And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh
And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh no
So far away but still so near
The lights come up, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here
I just came to say goodbye
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh
And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
And oh no
Sit down in the corner, watching you kiss her, oh no
And I'm right over here, why can't you see me, oh no
And I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the guy you're taking home, ooh
I keep dancing on my own
So far away, but still so near
The lights come up, the music dies
But you don't see me standing here

Here's a question: How does it feel for you to be a sole liker of this song, Daniel?
DeleteLook at the lyrics, and listen to the song. They both completely contrast from each other, its fucking hilarious. There's a reason this fits with a dance song, not a ballad.
DeleteAsk that too yourself: How does it feel to be the sore liker of a zillion rap songs?
Delete^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
DeleteHow is . hosting the party if he has the second highest rating? Bring it to someone who REALLY hates it.
DeleteYeah I don't know why.
DeleteCan i host the Unsteady drop-out party at least?
DeleteYou can host the HandClap party. Graham will host the Unsteady party.
Delete^^^^^^^^^
DeleteUgh!!!!!
DeleteYou can host it if you want. I got Heathens. :)
DeleteI'll get HandClap as well for Parker and WAMB10. Besides that, i don't think any more parties are coming up, besides the LOTB party :).
DeleteCan I host the LOTB party? PLEEEEEEASE?
DeleteIf Adrian doesn't like these parties and decides not to do it, you can.
DeleteBut anyway, I'm not picking hosts for every party.
STOP IT! I'm Crashing the party!
