Entrants

I didn't think My Way would debut (I thought The Little Things would, UGH), but it did anyway. It features Harris' vocals like Feel So Close and Summer. It's actually pretty catchy. I hope it has some success.

Next is the debut that my mom called "pathetic". Death of a Bachelor is pretty catchy. I don't think it'll get as much success as Victorious but it'll probably do fine.

Let Me Love You is pretty catchy too. It's interesting that Justin Bieber had two songs released just two weeks apart that feature DJs. I know this will have success on the countdown.

Death of a Blurb

ONE MORE SPOT AND IT'S FINALLY OFF THE COUNTDOWN. ONE. MORE. SPOT.

I'm sure that Victorious will leave in the next 4 weeks.

Is Mama Said just going to flop? I hope not! ;(

I honestly don't know what Say is going to do next on this countdown. Will it jump or will it drop?

And we have a new biggest jump of the year, beating out I Took a Pill in Ibiza by 4 spots. Congratulations to Starving!

Get Girls Talk Boys in the top 10 and Unsteady out of the top 10. NOW.

I'm getting tired of Into You.

Can't Stop the Feeling needs to leave the top 5. This song isn't popular anymore!

I'm so confused. This is What You Came For hit #1 on the Wutchuwant Countdown last night? How???

Ride needs to hit #1 next week.

Speaking of Ride, I'm putting it in orange. It won't re-enter #40Friday, but I want it to hit #1. #LetsGoRide

I could have sworn that The Little Things was going to debut the countdown this week.

Notice how the two songs by Panic! at the Disco and Lukas Graham are at #4 and #1 (respectively) on both my top and bottom 5 picks.

Two songs by Selena Gomez left the countdown this week. Interesting.

My top 5 countdown:

5. The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer (#10)

America's Got Talent Finals Review

A couple of people have done this before so I thought I'd do it too.

~ Pitbull/LunchMoney Lewis (not contestants): The song is pretty catchy. Their performance was really good too. Their voices were off a little bit but it was still good. I like how the judges were dancing to the music. It's probably going to re-enter #40Friday.

Rate: 9/10

~ Sal Valentinetti: I like this guy. He has a nice, '50s-type voice.
Rate: 9/10


~ Sofie Dossi: Wow. She's a great contortionist!
Rate: 9.5/10


~ Linkin' Bridge: It was a nice, soothing performance. See You Again is really that type of song that's supposed to be performed this way.
Rate: 8/10

~ Laura Bretan: She has a nice opera voice. She sounds like she's in her 20s maybe, but she's only 14! (I think) But opera isn't really that popular today, so she probably wasn't going to win. But she still is a good singer.
Rate: 8.5/10


~ The Clairvoyants: I love them! Even though they didn't win, they should still have a show somewhere. It's crazy that she guessed a random person's birthday (May 12, FYI) and a credit card's expiration date and last 4 numbers. I don't know how they do it!
Rate: 10/10


~ Brian Justin Crum: I didn't like him at first, but he really is a good singer now. He's probably going to have a good singing career someday.
Rate: 9/10


~ Tape Face: He's so funny! You don't know what he's going to do next. Like the Clairvoyants, he should have a show too. When he put a toilet on Mel and threw a plunger at it, it was so weird. Oh my gosh.
Rate: 10/10


~ Viktor Kee: He's pretty good. It's like he tells a story with juggling as there is a stormy background with mountains.
Rate: 9.5/10


~ Jon Dorenbos: It's very interesting that not only is he a magician, but a football player too. It's great how he has some of these cards appear face-up.
Rate: 9/10


~ Grace VanderWaal: Her voice is probably going to mature in a few years. She's going to turn out great. I still remember when my mom came in my room and showed me her first performance.
Rate: 9.5/10


~ Sal Valentinetti/Jersey Boys: This is a catchy song. Sal's voice was great in this performance. He should join Jersey Boys!
Rate: 10/10


~ Tape Face/Jon Dorenbos/Brian Justin Crum/Viktor Kee/China (Linkin' Bridge): He's back! This performance made so much more sense than his last. But it was so good.
Rate: 9.5/10


~ Brian Justin Crum: I didn't like his last performance of Radiohead - Creep. But this one was great for some reason. He really has that loud voice that mixes in with the piano.
Rate: 8.5/10


~ Grace VanderWaal: I Don't Know My Name is great. Her first performance was better. I still like this performance though. I think this will be her most popular song throughout her career. And it's pretty good.
Rate: 9.5/10


~ Stevie Nicks (not a contestant): Grace introduced her. This song is pretty good and I know she was popular in the '80s or sometime around there.
Rate: 9/10


~ Il Volo/Laura Bretan/Viktor Kee/Sofie Dossi: This song is beautiful, I guess, but it was perfect to go with Viktor and Sofie.
Rate: 8.5/10


~ Linkin' Bridge/Silhouettes: You all know I hate this song. Linkin' Bridge's part of the performance is definitely better than 7 Years overall, but it's still not good enough to be in blue. Silhouettes, however, were pretty good. Performances where you can only see shadows are nice.
Rate: 5/10


~ The Clairvoyants/Jon Dorenbos: That lottery trick is great. Again, I don't know how they do it. Same with Jon.
Rate: 9.5/10

Finale Results

Bottom 5

• Tape Face (HOW?!)
  
• Linkin' Bridge
• Sofie Dossi
• Viktor Kee
• Laura Bretan

Top 5

5^th Place: Sal Valentinetti
4^th Place: Brian Justin Crum

3^rd Place: Jon Dorenbos
2^nd Place: The Clairvoyants: I'm happy they made it this far. Their performances leave me and the rest of America wondering how they do this.

1^st Place/Winner: Grace VanderWaal: She really is great and I agree with Simon that she might be the next Taylor Swift (if so, then release an album like 1989, best album ever lol) and I also agree with Adrian that she might become the next Sia. But anyway, she's great and I'm happy she won.

I Didn't Know That I Was Starving Until I Blurbed You
Gold is pretty catchy, but those noises in the chorus are weird.

Starving is pretty good. But Love Myself will always be better.

Lady Gaga is back with Perfect Illusion. Her voice has really changed since her last song. But I still like this one.

Kids had 8 spins this week...how did it debut pretty high up? Also, the remix is growing on me. But the original version is much better.

I'm not sure if Victorious is going to be here for its anniversary week on the countdown (October 8). It's dropping pretty fast.

Just Like Fire looks like it's going to drop out soon.

I'm putting Hands to Myself in yellow. It doesn't sound bad now, but it's really old.

Spyder forgot to announce that Figure Me Out left.

Told you guys that Rise would drop.

Stressed Out is still refusing to leave the top 30. I would like it if it just started dropping like 5 spots every week from now on.

I'm almost positive Can't Stop the Feeling won't hit #1 again.

My mom came up with this joke: "It seems like Ride is taking its time on its ride on the top 45."

Don't Let Me Down should not still be #1. I want Ride at #1 next week.

Song explanation

Okay. Let's hope this explanation is better than last week's. This week I will explain my love for Ed Sheeran - Sing. His voice is great in this song and personally, it is my favorite from him. The chorus is my favorite part, but everything else in the song is good too. I wish he made more music like this. It's definitely going to be on my #40Friday of all time.

Biggest Jump: Katy Perry - Rise (+15)

And if You Feel You're Sinking I Will Jump Right Over into Cold Cold Blurbs For You

Longest blurb title ever.

Can 7 Years just leave this countdown already?

This jump from Cake By the Ocean is mind-boggling. It should leave soon.

Unsteady should not be jumping; it just debuted on the American Top 40, which was way too late with the song.

Stressed Out needs to leave the top 30.

Rise and the Sound are probably going to drop soon; they're dropping a lot on the radio charts, yet the Sound just debuted the American Top 40.

Missing You is seriously doing nothing on this countdown; it's just hanging out in the top 20.

I hope Mama Said hits at least top 10.

Coincidentally, my favorite and least favorite songs on this countdown are from the same artist, Lukas Graham.

As Spyder with a Y pointed out, Symon with a Y has a new dog, Tyson with a Y.

So cute!

Girls Talk Boys dropped 4 spots to #14. Oh well. At least it made the top 10.

Keep Can't Stop the Feeling out of the top spot, thank you.

Congrats to the Chainsmokers and Daya for their first WC #1 song, Don't Let Me Down. I remember first listening to this song (February 13) and I LOVED IT SO MUCH! It's still alright, but I'm fine with them at #1.

Song explanation

I hate 7 Years because the vocals are bad in the song, the piano is boring, and it's so slow; I thought it was okay at first but then I quickly grew out of it. One of the worst songs of all time.

..........

Sorry if that offended you, Lukas. To cheer you up, at least Mama Said is the best on the countdown!

Guess the WC

Justin Timberlake (10) - September 3, 2016

Issuing a major change in the color code this week. You can look at the color code on the side of the blog. If you are wondering what the past color codes were, here it was:

Purple = Best
Green = Good
Orange = Old but still good
Dark Green = Old
Yellow = Old and needs to leave
Blue = Alright
Red = Bad
Turquoise = Worst

Now it looks a little different. On to the countdown. Only thing I'm saying is that this would have been one of the best weeks ever if Can't Stop the Feeling wasn't #1.

When will Hits 1 realize that Red Dress is never going to become a hit? There are other songs in this world that have the potential to become a hit. *hint hint* Danger Twins - Radar *hint hint*

Death of a Bachelor and Bacon are really catchy.

Be as You Are isn't on #40Friday but it probably will be next week. That's why it's in green.

I finally realized how amazing Kids is. It must debut the countdown.

I Got Blurbs in My Head and They Won't Go

Speaking of color changes, Can't Stop the Feeling might turn to red in the next month. This song must leave the #1 spot.

I am slowly growing out of Lovesick. Don't be surprised if it turns to blue soon.

One Dance should not be dropping.

Unsteady actually set a record for biggest drop AND biggest move of the year, 27 spots. That's strange because a huge drop like this usually happens every month or two.

Unsteady was also the only top 10 exit. That means there's a top 10 entrant. And it's Girls Talk Boys!!!! Yaaaaaassss!!!!!
