Biggest Jump: OneRepublic - Kids (+11)

24K Blurbs in the Air

I think Bacon will unfortunately pull a Katy Perry - Rise, meaning that a song debuts while flopping on the radio charts and leaves a few weeks later. But it is very catchy and it hit #1 on #40Friday.

24K Magic is a nice comeback from Bruno Mars. It's addicting!

The entire bottom 5 this week are made up of songs that were not in last week's bottom 5.

Starboy just reached the 100 million mark on Spotify in just over 3 weeks. Nice job, guys!

Speaking of Spotify, Drake/WizKid/Kyla - One Dance is so close to breaking the record for most plays. The current record holder is Major Lazer/DJ Snake/MØ - Lean On, with 873 million plays. They are separated by just 500,000 plays.

I find it very interesting that songs like Victorious, Just Like Fire, No, Cake By the Ocean, and New Romantics make big comeback jumps and then there's Fresh Eyes, jumping 1 spot, only on its second week. How unfair!

I am angry at Hits 1 for making My Way drop 14 spots. This is one of the best songs out there right now.

New Romantics has spent 33 weeks on this chart. Here's how many weeks her other 1989 songs spent:

Shake it Off: 39

Welcome to New York: 1

Blank Space: 43

Style: 32

Bad Blood: 30

Wildest Dreams: 32

Out of the Woods: 26

Total (plus New Romantics): 236

This week marked 9 months since I first heard Stressed Out and it's still on the countdown.

Never Be Like You has the biggest drop of the year! 31 spots...now that's some activity!

Can't Stop the Feeling is the first song to be both in purple and turquoise during its tenure.

Top 5 Picks

5. The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer

4. Andy Grammer - Fresh Eyes

3. Calvin Harris - My Way

2. Nick Jonas - Bacon

1. Big Gigantic/Angela McCluskey - The Little Things

Bottom 5 Picks

5. Calvin Harris/Rihanna - This is What You Came For

4. Panic! at the Disco - Victorious

3. Flume/Kai - Never Be Like You

2. Kenny Chesney/Pink - Setting the World on Fire

1. Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling

Hit-Bound:

Exit: Kungs/Cookin' on 3 Burners - This Girl (I'm shocked it never debuted)

• DNCE - Body Moves
• Sia/Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest
• Alessia Cara - Scars to Your Beautiful
• Jason Derulo - Kiss the Sky
• Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side to Side (DEBUT) (I love this song!!!)
• Bastille - Good Grief
• Magic! - Red Dress (Why are you still here?)
• Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You
• Maroon 5 - Don't Wanna Know (DEBUT)
• Pitbull/Flo Rida/Lunchmoney Lewis - Greenlight
• Shawn Mendes - Mercy (DEBUT)
• Jon Bellion - All Time Low
• Mike Posner - Be as You Are
• Runaground - Chase You Down

Side to Side is here! With Nicki Minaj too! Thank you Hits 1!

I really like Don't Wanna Know now. It's fun.

I also grew into Mercy. The next Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud? Forget what I just said. But both are sweet songs.

I decided this week that I feel like All Time Low is a song that sounds like it's only for Hit-Bound. But I think it will debut the countdown.

I doubt that Be as You Are will debut.

Top 5 Picks

5. Runaground - Chase You Down

4. Bastille - Good Grief

3. Sia/Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest

2. Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You

1. Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj - Side to Side

#1 one year ago this week: Shawn Mendes - Stitches (1)

If I Could Blurble This Up, Blurble Blurble This Up I Would

First debut is Fresh Eyes. I grew out of this one a month ago, but I grew back into it and love it more than I ever have. It's catchy and my favorite part is, well, the blurb title.

This Town is a disappointment for a former One Direction member. It's not like Zayn's Pillowtalk. I'm hoping something better is released from him.

Finally, we have Starboy from The Weeknd and Daft Punk, who had the hit Get Lucky from 2013. It debuted at #2 on #40Friday. Now it's #9, but I still like it a lot. It's one of The Weeknd's best.

One year ago this week, Victorious debuted. Very crazy.

If New Romantics leaves before 7 Years, I will be very mad. It doesn't make sense either because 7 Years peaked at #5 while New Romantics hit #1 for 2 weeks.

When was the last week Stressed Out was out of the top 30? Its debut date, December 25, 2015, 41 weeks ago. What a run.

I think that Body Say will leave soon.

Our debuts were all 3 spots apart.

Here's a question: What is up with Let Me Love You's tenure? It should be in the top 15 by now, yet it's not even in the top 20.

I predicted that We Don't Talk Anymore would drop 30 spots and it only dropped 8. But I'm not even kidding when I say that the exact same thing happened to The Chainsmokers/Rozes - Roses once. I predicted it would drop from #10 to #40 and it actually dropped from #10 to #18. How cool is that?!?!

Um, Girls Talk Boys is higher on this chart than it is on mine? Huh?

Once again we have a small biggest drop.

The album with year-old Hide Away on it has finally been released! It's called Sit Still, Look Pretty, and it's from Daya, of course.

Starving hit the top 10 on its fourth week.

I'm so relieved that Can't Stop the Feeling didn't hit #1. I really thought it would hit #1, or at least the top 2.

My top 5:

5. The Chainsmokers/Halsey - Closer

The Chainsmokers/Halsey (1) - October 1, 2016

Yes, that title says Halsey and not Daya. This was a great week, although probably my favorite song of the year left. That song is okay for now, but RIP to it anyway.

Also, yesterday was my birthday, and I turned 13. I got a drone, and I crashed it on its first flight. The drone is safe, but one of the propellers broke, so I used a replacement propeller. Here are the exits this week:

Biggest Drop: Twenty One Pilots - Ride (-15)
Biggest Jump: Calvin Harris - My Way (+18) (!!!)

It's the Little Blurbs in Life That I Feel

I wasn't really a fan of I Hate U, I Love U until the Hits 1 remix came along. The remix is actually really catchy. But in both versions, I must admit that Gnash sounds a little bit like Jacob Sartorius. (Sorry!)

I've been enjoying the Little Things since when it debuted Hit-Bound in August. Very catchy song and I hope it doesn't drop on its second week like Let Me Love You.

Did anyone notice that for 7 Years, the artist title was "Lukas Nelson/Willie Nelson"? Maybe Scott? Anyone else that was listening to the countdown? Anyway, this song needs to LEAVE!!!

I'm tired of Setting the World on Fire because my art teacher plays a lot of country music. I remember that he played that song twice, I think.

3 of the 4 songs that have spent 3 weeks on the chart are right next to each other.

Last week, I said that I wanted Unsteady as the biggest drop this week. But I changed my mind. Yes, I did grow into Unsteady a little. So I want Can't Stop the Feeling to be the biggest drop next week.

And there goes Ride at lightning speed. Now, it's back to blue. Yet it was most wutchuwanted on Hit-Bound.

Cold Water is like so popular right now. I hope it makes top 10.

Thank you for voting one of my favorite songs to #1. You're awesome.

Speaking of the #1, Closer, that had the biggest jump to #1 this year, beating out Hello and One Call Away by 2 spots. Ironically, on #40Friday this week, a song had a tie for the biggest jump to #1. Look at this week's #40Friday here.

Red Dress needs to leave. If this song stays another week

• I will be mad. Again.
• it will be the longest-running Hit-Bound song this year, beating The Sound.

Also, this debuted Hit-Bound 6 weeks before our #1, Closer, was even released. Now that's something. This was on Hit-Bound with Send My Love (To Your New Lover)!

I'm not really a fan of This Town. It's pretty boring, but hopefully he will release some upbeat music sometime.
