Wow this post is soooo late! I must have to agree with what Scott said in his post, "it does feel good to not have to search for good Ed Sheeran pictures".

New Entrant
Cake is weird and I'm surprised it's on pop radio. It's really just like rap, I guess, but I like it. And it's short. But I have nothing more to say. Next debut! Oh wait, there are none.
Hit-Bound
- One Ok Rock - American Girls
- Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back (DEBUT)
- Zayn/PartyNextDoor - Still Got Time
- Lady Gaga - The Cure (DEBUT)
- Kehlani/G-Eazy - Good Life
- Hey Violet - Break My Heart
- Aaron Carter - Sooner or Later
- Erin Bowman - Good Time Good Life
- Jason Derulo/Ty Dolla $ign/Nicki Minaj - Swalla
- Charlie Puth - Attention (DEBUT)
- Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
- DNCE - Kissing Strangers
- Ocean Park Standoff - Good News
- Mansionz/G-Eazy - Wicked
- [Exit: Coin - Talk Too Much]
- [Exit: Kungs/Ephemerals - I Feel So Bad]
Here's a quick review of Hit-Bound.
- There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back may be Shawn's best song in the future, his best song before this was probably Something Big.
- The Cure = Don't Leave 2.0
- Attention = Catchy
- Exits did not deserve to go.
- All songs in my top 5 picks must debut the WC.
Top 5 Picks
5. Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back
4. DNCE - Kissing Strangers
3. Zayn/PartyNextDoor - Still Got Time
2. One Ok Rock - American Girls
1. Jason Derulo/Nicki Minaj/Ty Dolla $ign - Swalla
I Only Came For the Blurbs
Thank goodness for Treat You Better dropping to the bottom 5. It is the oldest song on this countdown and it was needed.
Poor Now or Never. It's over 10 spots below the lowest other debut from last week. Honestly I think it deserves a boost too.
Looks like Don't Leave and Lights Down Low are following a constant path, up 1 and 3 spots each week, respectively. This is a good thing because they're not good songs, as songs like Something Just Like This jump higher on their second week.
All Time Low is about to drop to the bottom 15, which is a good thing. Fun fact, the two songs below it also have peaked at #5, making 3 songs in a row peaking at #5.
I swear, Heavy has to be one of the most active songs on this countdown in a long while. Its tenure so far? 34-18-19-34-10-10-26-5-18. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's 106 total spots moved in 8 weeks, an average of 13.25 spots per week. That's a quite impressive feat.
After a few weeks, Weak and L.A. Devotee have both jumped into the top 20. I'm not impressed with this, but it's a good thing.
Say You Won't Let Go dropped out of the top 5 but I don't think it's done yet. It's probably going to suddenly jump back next week.
I'm kinda stunned at Paris at a new peak. This isn't really their current single, so it'll be dropping soon.
Mercy needs to go.
Stay should be at #1 soon. It's gaining on radio, so hopefully it can do it.
I'm already starting to get tired of these sudden drops from #1 and jumps to #1. I mean...it just always happens unexpectedly. However, I'm definitely fine with our new #1. And Shape of You jumping back to #2 is still a little strange.

#50Friday is out. Will Heavydirtysoul continue to be #1? Click HERE to find out.
Most Missed Song: Vance Joy - Riptide
#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: Read last week
Guess the song
- I was on the (then) #40Friday year-end chart for 2016.
- However, for . I was in blue when I left the WC.
- I peaked higher on the WC than I did on #40Friday.
My Way?
ReplyDeleteNo.
DeleteFresh Eyes?
DeleteYes.
DeleteNow guess this song.
Delete1. I made it to the top 4 of My Best Songs Of 2016 list for SXM Hits 1.
2. I left in a 2 exit week.
3. Both of the songs that left in the week I left were sung by female artists.
Work From Home.
DeleteCorrect.
DeleteSick post! Mine is out now too!
ReplyDeleteNo one usually calls posts "sick" but thanks anyway!
DeleteHaha XD
DeleteWhy is there a problem with your top 20 reviews from years ago?
ReplyDeleteIs it blogger again?
I condensed it, because if it were all spaced out, then the post would be longer.
DeleteWhy does it matter?
DeleteSo people don't have to scroll too much. In comments I'd space it the regular way.
DeleteAt least I'm not the only one that hates Let Her Go.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE!!! LetHerGo
DeleteYou most missed song though...
ReplyDeleteThe only good song in your top 5hitboung is #2. And it is barely green.
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember when hit-bound had all green songs (like around the time of Figure Me Out) and now it is horrible...
(All this according to me, obviously)
What wa Unsteady's average after a few weeks?
ReplyDeleteI mean what you said for Heavy
DeleteWhat do you mean?
DeleteThe number of spots jumped/dropped in the first, say, ten weeks, and the average. But never mind it is okay

Delete04/23: #25, +14, 14 spots total, 14.0 on average.
04/30: #26, -1, 15 spots total, 7.5 on average.
05/07: #29, -3, 18 spots total, 6.0 on average.

09/17: #28, +2, 169 spots total, 7.7 on average.
09/24: #9, +19, 188 spots total, 8.2 on average.
The average for September 24 (the last week I provided) was the highest since May 28. After that week, nothing major happened.
It took 15 weeks for Unsteady to reach 106 total spots, while it took Heavy only 8. Unsteady had some big jumps and drops, but many more smaller jumps and drops. Heavy had mostly big jumps and drops. Unsteady never reached Heavy's current average of 13.3 spots per week, except for its second week charting, which was its first week possible to move on the chart.

DeleteThe Cure, Attention, and There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back.
DeleteWHAT? NO GOOD TIME, GOOD LIFE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? And I thought that Green Light would make the countdown.
DeleteNo and I thought so too.
DeleteMaybe this hasn't happened because we may actually have a 7 exit week next week.
DeleteI'm guessing Green Light aired as Ear Poppin Music but didn't debut because we may have a 7 exit week next week.
DeleteSay, would anyone happen to have the middle third of the countdown? Thanks!
DeleteI would love to send it but DSR was being too lazy and decided not to record this week.
DeleteThey didn't want to record this week's spins.

DeleteAlso, I didn't mention this, but I know that Graham will be throwing a be-gone party for Heathens, while I'll be doing so for Treat You Better.
6. That's What I Like
Delete#26-#21 consists of these songs in some order: Lights Down Low, Heavydirtysoul, The Cure, HandClap, Weak, and I Don't Wanna Live Forever. Sorry I don't have the order.
DeleteI would've do it for Love On The Brain if it left this week. ;(
DeleteBut I'll be throwing one for Death Of A Bachelor.
Delete5. Say You Won't Let Go
Delete4. Stay
Delete3. Mercy
DeleteStay should be #1.
ReplyDeleteI mean That's What I Like.
DeleteI'd gladly take either.
Delete^^^
DeleteI swear to god, that prelude that was playing in the background made me think that Spyder was about to introduce Heavydirtysoul and not Castle On The Hill. Very odd.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a new #1 this week. That's What I Like dropped to #6.
ReplyDeleteShape Of You could be #1 again... That said, I'm surprised Castle On The Hill wasn't Top 5, because I heard it as Most Wutchuwanted MANY times over the week.
DeleteIs Mercy #4 or #3?
ReplyDelete#3.
DeleteAnd Shape Of You is #2, so guess what that means!
Paris at #1?
DeleteIt's Paris at #1!
ReplyDelete2. Shape Of You
ReplyDelete1. PARIS!!!!
Anyone got #21-#26 in order?
ReplyDeleteHere's the songs on Hit-Bound this week:
ReplyDeleteGood News
Wicked
Break My Heart
Overwhelming
Most Girls (DEBUT)
Still Got Time
Kissing Strangers
More to come...
Bon Appetit by Katy Perry (from what I'm hearing, no Migos)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I do wish they had kept them in the song, because the song feels too short without them.
Here's more of Hit-Bound:
ReplyDeleteSwalla
Sooner or Later
Young & Menace (DEBUT)
Good Time, Good Life
Bon Appetit (DEBUT)
American Girls
Good Life
No Green Light? This is the 1st year since 2014 that songs with a lot of AirPlay fail to debut the countdown.
DeleteThis year is starting to be a lot like 2014.
DeleteI got #21-#26 in order. I had to fall asleep around the #15 mark.
ReplyDelete26. Lights Down Low
25. The Cure (DEBUT)
24. I Don't Wanna Live Forever
23. HandClap
22. Weak
21. Heavydirtysoul
And Paris at #1? This late?
