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)

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!

The Chainsmokers/Coldplay (1) - May 27, 2017
So sorry that this post had to be out late. I was just really lazy last weekend. I've decided if that a post isn't out by, like Monday or Tuesday, then I'll post it on Saturday so two countdown posts will be out back-to-back.
As you all know, there was an attack in Manchester on Monday [two Mondays ago], at an Ariana Grande concert. Let's have a moment of silence.
Okay. And also, congratulations Adrian for graduating! Anyway, the countdown was wacky this week. Let's see the two exits:

New Entrants
Strip That Down is really good. Of course, the meaning is strange, but the verses and chorus are insanely catchy. But however, am I the only one who thinks that Liam sounds like Justin Timberlake?
Malibu is fun. It's not that amazing but still good. I did mention this recently, but I like the guitar-instrument-thingy in the chorus. That's really my favorite part of the song. But the rest isn't amazing I guess. I still like her sister's music more.

The Sky's More Blue.......in Maliblurb
So I think Hits 1 just picks up on the songs they like first, then in the middle of the week they check how it is doing on radio and if it's flopping, they just have it drop on the countdown or even leave. Can't they just look to see if the song is flopping before and if it is, not pick up on it?
So yeah, with the songs not or hardly even on the radio charts, we have two songs on the WC for three weeks with peaks of only #37 and #38...
4 of the 5 debuts dropped or left this week. Thank goodness Swalla survived this.
It's unfortunate to see All Night drop. That was a nice song.
I think this might be the end for Play That Song.
How is Mercy back in the top 20? I thought this was over.
After being at #20 for three consecutive weeks, Attention is now in the top 10. I didn't expect it so quickly, but thank you Hits 1 anyway!
I also did not expect to see There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back in the top 5 so quickly.

Ed Sheeran (2) - May 20, 2017
I apologize for the late post. Honestly, the reason for that is because I was lazy. But let's talk about the countdown now. Besides our #1, which was only a good song, this week was really good. There were 5 debuts, which is rare, and 3 of them were amazing. Here are the exits:

New Entrants
First up is a song that is currently flopping. It's called Still Got Time, and I love it. In fact, I think I'm one of the only ones here who loves it. It's just way too catchy and it has that great summery vibe to it. Both artists do a great job, and honestly I love the production. I know it won't do well here, but at least it's top 45.
Next debut is also a song that's flopping. Good Life is on the soundtrack to The Fate of the Furious, if you didn't know. Like the last debut, both artists do a great job. The chorus is fun. While it's not the best debut, I still like it. I wish it would have done a little better though.
Finally, Swalla is here! This is the best debut this week. Once again, it's catchy. The chorus is also fun. And all of the artists do a great job too. I still don't know if this is flopping or not on radio, but I'm at least hoping it does well here.
Omg another great debut!!! I think that Kissing Strangers has to be DNCE's best song. Once again, I love the chorus. The verses are great too. I also don't know if it's flopping or not on radio, but again, this must do well here because I'm really enjoying it.
Wow, I don't think Hits 1 knows which songs are flopping on radio or not. Yes, this is the third debut here that's flopping. I do like Hailee's chorus, and it actually reminds me of See You Again from 2015. But there's not much more to say about this. This song is called At My Best by the way.

Good Time Good Life, Good News, Wicked, and Overwhelming are not going to debut at this point. I just don't see it happening.
Yes, Stay Together is the best song on Hit-Bound and it's not even in pink.
Not posting this week. Stay Together is the only Hit-Bound song on #50Friday, and I don't want to spoil any upcoming debuts. I'm hoping this doesn't continue for a while.
Still Got Blurbs
I did not expect to see 5 exits this week. First, I'm surprised Cake left this early. However, it wasn't really for Hits 1, since it was really a rap song. Finally, All Time Low leaves. I still like 24K Magic, and Scott is not going to be happy to see it go. It's rare to see a song leave with a peak of #35 here, but that's what Don't Leave had to do. At least it wasn't a good song. And finally, poor WAMB10 because Side to Side left. I find it interesting that I put it in blue for the last 5 months or so.
Is Sooner or Later going to leave or what? It shouldn't be flopping already.
So my favorite debut last week only had to jump just one spot? Wow Hits 1...
You know, I was wondering earlier if this would be the week where Closer took a big drop. Turns out, I was right.
Cold is officially a mediocre song. I really liked it at first but a couple of weeks later I started to grow out of it. But now it is officially in blue.
So Mercy dropped from #6 to #26. Well, about time. That was long-awaited.
Good to see I'm the One jump a lot on its second week. I think it's already in the top 10 on pop radio.
Attention has held its spot at #20 for the third straight week. Please don't tell me that means it will flop. I am really enjoying this, so it should at least be top 15 here.
I'm happy about our biggest jump, which I am starting to like a little more. Halsey and Lady Gaga's jumps were also needed.
So Believer is in the top 5. That's nice.
Something Just Like This hit #1 on the pop radio charts this week, which makes me think that it'll be #1 here soon. In fact, I feel that it's the type of song Hits 1 usually has at #1.

Guess the song
- I was a 2015 Hit-Bound dropout.
- In the Hit-Bound dropouts section of Adrian's Year in Review post, I was in blue.
- When Adrian's orange song in the Hit-Bound dropouts section debuted Hit-Bound, I was on Hit-Bound at that time.
- My artist did not have 3 songs all leave Hit-Bound in 2015.
- Just a bonus fact, . is not that familiar with me.
- What song am I? . doesn't think anyone needs any more hints...
2016 Hits 1 Year-End List Rankdown
Okay, so since I haven't gotten a submission in a week, I'm patiently waiting to get another submission. I'm posting this here in case anyone who reads my blog but doesn't comment wants to participate. It's a fun activity, but the deadline for submissions is on Tuesday, May 23, which isn't that far away. What you do is rank all of the songs on the year-end list from #1 (favorite) to #45 (least favorite) and send it to this form. You have to read the instructions though. There is also a page on this blog for this rankdown, which you can find HERE.
