Hey guys! This is the first out of three bonus posts I'll be posting throughout this week in place of the 6/17 WC. My mom will be reviewing this week's WC!
My mom has recently been saying that music has been getting worse and worse lately, and you can tell because there's only one great song on this countdown for her. I was expecting a couple more 5-point songs, but apparently not. I was kind of surprised by some of her gradings. And it may not be fully accurate since she did not listen to every song entirely. But anyway...
The color code will be on a 5-point scale.
Orange = Worst Song (-1)
Red = Crap (0)
Turquoise = Bad (1)
Yellow = Mediocre (2)
Pink = Decent (3)
Blue = Good (4)
Green = Great (5)
Purple = Best Song (6)

Why I'm doing this? It takes less time than what my past posts required. And I want to get my posts out earlier, as I said. **Also, a highlighted song means it is at its peak.**
Biggest Drop: Tie between MAX/Gnash - Lights Down Low (25-35, -10) and Calvin Harris/Frank Ocean/Migos - Slide (21-31, -10)
Biggest Jump: AJR - Weak (23-10, +13)
Hit-Bound
- All Time Low - Good Times
- Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
- Carly Rae Jepsen - Cut To The Feeling
- Camila Cabello - Crying In The Club
- Erin Bowman - Good Time, Good Life
- Bruno Mars - Versace On The Floor
- Paramore - Hard Times
- Katy Perry/Nicki Minaj - Swish Swish
- Shawn Hook/Vanessa Hudgens - Reminding Me
- Julia Michaels - Uh Huh (DEBUT)
- Imagine Dragons - Thunder
- Mansionz/G-Eazy - Wicked
- Noah Cyrus - Stay Together
- [Exit: Fall Out Boy - Young & Menace]
Young and Menace is probably the first Fall Out Boy song to leave Hit-Bound in years. Not surprised this is the one though.
I think Wicked is about to turn into Red Dress 2.0. Really. I like you, but you gotta leave soon.
Hard Times is really, really good. The only problem I have with it is the "And I gotta get to rock bottom" part after each chorus. It's exactly like the "BETTA THAN HE CAN" of 2017.
Top 5 Picks
5. Bruno Mars - Versace On The Floor
4. Noah Cyrus - Stay Together
3. Camila Cabello - Crying In The Club
2. Paramore - Hard Times
1. Katy Perry/Nicki Minaj - Swish Swish
Blurb My Heart
I want to talk about two things this week. First is that you might be noticing a change in many songs' colors. The reason why this is happening is because I am testing a new personal chart style, so some songs that I really like can be higher on the chart faster. The chart will not be in effect this week, but maybe in 3 weeks. No joke, it is actually a top 100 chart, and I guess it takes more time :/ but I could work on it throughout the week.
The second thing I want to talk about is the song Bad Liar. It is in blue now, and it is for a reason. You all will hate me when I say this because this is one of the rare cases in which I say this, but I think the song is kinda...annoying. Her voice is just too high throughout the song. I think there's more that makes it slightly annoying, but it's also a little catchy and that's why it's not in red.
I'm too lazy to talk about stuff, so there will only be a couple more blurbs.
I've noticed that Play That Song has been hanging around the #17-#23 range lately. Honestly, it feels like it'll never leave that range, except for last week, which I missed. Way to get people mad, Hits 1.
As you all noticed, Weak jumped into the top 10 this week. The Hits 1 crew are definitely AJR stans (as well as many other people and bands), so it's not surprising. And I'm saying that because it's only the 39th most played song on pop radio right now. I'm definitely happy about it. But what's cool to me about this being in the top 10 is that I knew this song the entire time, before you all. READ HERE!
