#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling! [2nd of 3 Weeks at #1]

New Entrants

-Our lowest debut this week comes from Logic and Alessia Cara and Khalid with 1-800-273-8255. I can't exactly say that I like this song, because I obviously have mixed opinions on the song. I like the production and the vocals of the song. The lyrical content isn't that good though, talking about suicidal controversy of the U.S. suicide prevention hotline? I can completely understand that the song is about suicide never being the answer to anything, but I feel as if this song has gone way to far for that. For those wondering, the song's name is the suicide prevention hotline. Hey, at least the chopped up vocals from Alessia Cara were done really well here! *ha ha*. Back to the lyrical content. There statements about suicide not being right pretty much strikes me off of this song a little bit. Other than the lyrical content, I actually like this song. And don't expect this song to be in red anytime soon. In fact, it's on the yellow-green borderline. I can actually see this song being in green on this chart sometime soon. Because of this, I'd call this the best debut of the week without any competition.

-Our next debut comes from Fifth Harmony and Gucci Mane with Down. I actually don't like this song at all very much. First of all, it copies off of the new song made by Marian Hill (not technically new, but her newest song). And that song is even better. I don't want to say that this song is bad just because of that, because there are other things wrong with this song. For example, the lyrics. I hate the repetition of "as long as you are gonna keep holding me down down down" and that's all they say throughout the song. It's kind of pointless, to be honest. The vocals are way beyond mediocre and are not even close to good. Adding Gucci Mane to the song does not help at all. In fact, it only makes the song even worse. The only thing about this song that saves its color is the music, which I actually find to be somewhat enjoyable. I'd call this the second best debut of the week and the second worst debut of the week as well.

-And next week we have the worst debut of the week which unfortunately had to be the hot shot debut and the greatest gainer all in one. I do not understand as to how anyone is supposed to like this song. The vocals are really dumb, and it seems as if this is a ripoff from Back 2 U. The lyrics have nothing whatsoever to do with the song I don't think, and how is anyone supposed to like the music? If this is really ranking audience impression, I don't believe it. This song did not deserve to be the hot shot debut or the greatest gainer. How about this song leaves soon, because I don't want to waste my time discussing this song in any further detail.

2Blurbs

-The exit selection for this week was not good. Although we did get rid of Human, we had to get rid of two of the so-called best songs of the year. The first one is Kissing Strangers by DNCE and Nicki Minaj, which should've gotten more success in America. And we got rid of our fourth one-week wonder in 2017, which is Be the One by Dua Lipa. Hopefully that song can re-enter and pull off a No Promises, because I really want that song back!

-With iSpy dropping down to #40, hopefully that means that the song will be gone for good next week.

-Heavy making a huge drop was completely unexpected. But the song is flopping, so I guess that would happen here eventually. I don't mind though, because the song was really old anyways.

-Great, our pink song had to jump a spot this week. We already have enough rap fusing the charts! If any rap infuses this chart, I want the rap song to be good! Such as All Night.

-Scared to be Lonely making a huge drop was completely uncalled for as well. But after such a huge drop as this, I highly doubt it won't be long before the song leaves. Too bad the song wasn't a true hit here. But this song will be remembered as the best song of the first half of the year.

-Weak has been here for three months now, and is still at #28, despite only peaking at #27. Interesting.

-Humble and Body Like A Back Road are the two good non-pop songs on this chart. If any non-pop songs should take over the chart, it should be these two. I know that I'm the One and Despacito are non-pop songs as well and are good for the moment, but these two songs are even better.

-So I guess Passionfruit will be a flop after all. Oh well.

-#13-#17 should all drop as soon as possible. We already have enough bad songs on this chart.

-Shape of You making a huge drop on its 23rd week was completely unexpected and unnecessary for most people. But I'm not complaining.

-And that concludes my relatively boring week.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling! [1st of 3 Weeks at #1]

New Entrants

-At #40 we have Dua Lipa with Be the One. Believe it or not, the song was actually first released back in 2015, almost two years ago. It only became noticed on contemporary hit radio on March 30, 2017, about two and a half months ago (almost). And two music videos were released, the first on in 2015, and the second one near the end of 2016. I believe that the second music video brought Be the One to become as big as hit as it is right now. Now onto the song itself. The vocals are really amazing. Dua Lipa sounds good throughout the song. There is no chopped up verses like the one in Alessia Cara's song Stay (although in Here and Scars to Your Beautiful the chopped up voices were done correctly), and the verses are really good throughout as well. The first verse is the best, and that's what really brought me to this song when it first played on my radio. I can still remember my first expression on the song, and it was really good. The song basically talks about self belief, perseverance, and fighting for what you want. It is a beautiful song with a really good meaning. Its meaning actually makes sense in this song and is not completely random like the one in Malibu, although I would have to admit that that song actually does have a meaning as much as I don't want to admit that. Unfortunately, this the song became such as hit very late, this song unfortunately might not become Dua Lipa's combat hit, the way that I wanted it to. But it doesn't hurt to hope that this song will become that huge combat hit. I, however, still claim that Scared to be Lonely is better than this song. I would consider this a better version of Blow Your Mind (Mwah), even though I still consider that song to be really good as well. Although this song won't debut my personal chart this week, it will definitely be a future debut next week, and possibly a hot shot debut, as well. It could even be the greatest gainer all in one. But who knows. Get ready, because this song will definitely stomp my personal chart in some time, and if you haven't listened to this song, I highly recommend you do, because the song is awesome.

-At #38 we have Childish Gambino with Redbone. Please keep in mind that if the week has less exits, the entrant lengths will be much longer because I have more time to write everything. But that was when I was in school. Now that school is pretty much over, I can keep on writing long entrant reviews regardless of how many new entrants I have to review each time. Also keep in mind that if I don't make good enough entrant reviews for you guys, you can always ask me to "elaborate" more on the song and would be more than happy to do that. This song was actually a "sleeper hit" in America, preferably on the Hot 100, debuting on the Hot 100 really low, re-entering the chart at some point, avoided getting kicked off of the chart during its 21st week on the Hot 100, and this week it entered the Top 20, which makes it Childish Gambino's first Top 20 hit. I actually kind of have mixed opinions on the song. When I first heard it as a digital download, I actually thought that the song was kind of cool, because I thought that the music was amazing, the vocals were great, and the lyrics were awesome. Now, I feel kind of alone on this opinion because I heard it too many times before the song was a hit. And that means while the song is a hit, I might not be able to enjoy this song like I used to do. By the way, for those wondering, this song is actually a rap song, when I say that the vocals used to great, I meant that (because in most rap songs the vocals suck), at least back then. Now I think that the vocals are somewhat annoying. Especially when Childish Gambino does his lead vocal near the middle of the song. The music I still think is great, but not as great as it used to be back then, because the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar stuff in the song isn't as cool as it used to be. I've heard the same beats way too many times. And no, I do not hate these songs solely based off of overplay, and hopefully someone I won't name will be thankful for that. But hopefully this song doesn't have that much success here despite all of what I said about this song before. Because one, most people already despise the song, and they obviously don't want a song such as this one to take over. And second, this is a pop songs chart, not a rap songs chart. This means that I feel like this song feels out of place being on this chart. Finally, I don't want to hate this song. I used to like this song, and with this song being on this chart, hopefully I will again, but hopefully it doesn't come to the point in which I think the song is heavily overplayed and I finally hate it. It would hurt to hate a song like this one, especially when this song is one of the only rap songs that I actually like from 2017 (technically 2016, but this song was made late enough in 2016 so that I consider it 2017; plus, it had more success in 2017 than 2016). The point is, I hope that this song can have some success here, but not too much. Probably a similar tenure to Black Beatles would be fine with me.

Redblurbs

-As far as our exits go, I was kind of surprised the latter exited so quickly. I was hoping for more successs from that song. I think you all probably know which song I am talking about. The song is
Play That Song by Train. Seriously guys, what is up with that lazy tenure on the song itself? Paris I wasn't surprised that it left already lasted 20 weeks on the chart, was below #15, and was dropping on radio. I actually consider its exit to be a good thing because I was starting to get a little sick of it despite that song lasting nine weeks at the top spot on my personal chart. The point is, our exit selection for this week wasnt that good.

-So it seems like Break My Heart is going to flop. As I discussed. Last week when the song debuted, this is basically a worse version of Guys My Age. Hopefully I am correct and that this song will eventually take its departure.

-And it looks like Kissing Strangers is going to flop after all. I hope the song could recover, but after such a huge fall like this one, the song will most likely be gone next week. You can see similar things like this with songs such as Call On Me and At My Best, the latter which I like a lot.

-And of course Congratulations had to jump. It actually reached the top 10 in the Hot 100 this week, of course blocking Issues and Say You Won't Let Go off of there. I am not hot on the latter, and I know that some bloggers, especially Hollow Man and Jack, are not hot about the former getting blocked off either. I'm fine with the former getting blocked off, though, but I still hate Congratulations more. This is basically the Body Like A Back Road for Miles. Hopefully this song reached its peak and won't go up any further.

-God, how long will it take before iSpy leaves, we already have enough rap taking over the pop songs chart!

-I thought Heavy had the potential to hit the top 15. This drop from this song was completely unexpected. I also thought that this would be the next contender for songs making a huge claim into reaching the top 10. Obviously I was wrong. But I don't really care if the song still stays for a while longer.

-I am praying right now that Crying In the Club will not become a hit.

-Despite the song peaking at #8, can we just say that Cold was a flop on the chart? If you think about it, it barely is close to 20 weeks on the chart, and is already declining out of the top 20. Who knows how long this song will still stay in the chart. If its departure isn't that far away, please let it be within the next week or two.

-And of course Malibu is still here. I watched the official video on the song, and it made the song a little bit better. Same with the Billboard Music Review. That also made me like the song a little bit better. But I still claim the song to be really bad.

-And of course Believer jumps a spot. Hopefully this song won't have as much success as I would imagine that the song would have.

-I am not even going to discuss that atrocious piece of trash that was just awarded the biggest jump of the week.

-Passionfruit is actually somewhat flopping right now. I wouldn't be surprised if the song left, but hopefully it can stay a little bit longer judging by the color the song is in right now, I believe I jus have something away considering my personal chart. :D

-And yes, Despacito is in green now. I don't know what made me to like this song, but the music is catchy, and I actually like the vocals now. I wouldn't mind if the song became a hit, but hopefully the song doesn't stay too long here, because this seems like the song that won't last with me in the long run.

- And about the color for the #1 song, I don't like it at all know. The chopped up vocals are really bad, and I hate Zedd's vocals. Plus, the song is really overplayed at this point. The lyrics I don't like either. And it doesn't help that I hear this song even single time I turn the radio on. Don't DJ's get tired of playing the same songs over and over again? I would be. And despite the color right now, hopefully it isn't long before the song leaves, because I just think that the song could be red in the near future.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Fifth Harmony/Ty Dolla $ign - Work From Home [2nd Week at #1]

New Entrants

-At #40 we have the return of Hailee Steinfeld with Most Girls. Hailee Steinfeld has been all over the place this year. First we have Starving, which was really bad, considering the fact that I hate the chopped up verses. And then Hailee Steinfeld sings in At My Best, which I actually liked, but flopped unfortunately, which is kind of ironic considering that that song left this week. And this song, I guess is okay. I mean, I like the vocals, but the production is sluggish. I probably won't hate the song unless it's extremely overplayed, but this doesn't sound like the song that would become a huge hit.

-After Bon Appetit was a huge failure, Katy Perry returns with Swish Swish. Nicki Minaj doesn't really give anything good to the production. Her vocals aren't that good, and the production obviously wasn't well done. Katy Perry doesn't really do anything in this song either. Overall, the vocals are mediocre, and the production is bad. But the song is quite fun for some reason.

-Oh great. We have Liam Payne with Strip That Down. He returns solo for the first time. But he adds Quavo in the song? What????? I hate the phrase "strip that down," I bet this song is going to be a really hated song, and those who like this song is probably going to be their guilty pleasure of 2017. And Quavo isn't good in this song, just like he isn't good in Congratulations or even in I'm the One. Although Liam doesn't sound bad, the production is bad. The vocals are actually okay.

-Our hot short debut comes from Camilla Cabello with Crying In The Club. Why are we giving the worst fifth harmony member a solo career? The only reason I even liked Bad Things was because of Machine Gun Kelly, and Camilla Cabello actually sounded good in that song, or in other words, the vocals were amazing. The rapping in that song is actually really good, and the production in that song is good as well. But obviously this song is the exact opposite. The vocals in this song are a letdown, and the verses are way beyond bad. This song is so bad that I bet that even if Machine Gun Kelly was in this song he wouldn't be able to save this song from being bad. In fact, the performance on the song actually made the song worse. Even though this song is not in dark red at the moment, I would say that this song is the sixth worst song on the chart as of right now.

Crying In The Blurbs

-Rockabye was eventually destined to leave. At My Best had a really floppy tenure and I wish it did much better. I knew that it wouldn't be long before Si Una Vez left the chart. And Cake leaving is fine with me, because the song was never good at this point.

-Thankfully Break My Heart made a flopping second week drop.

-I can tell that it won't be long before Play That Song leaves. If so, please let it stay a while longer.

-Of course Congradulations had to jump. Isn't it pretty ironic how there are two Quavo songs on the chart next to each other?

-Human and iSpy probably won't be here much longer. Hopefully the latter is finally gone and will be gone next week or two.

-I kind of grew into Weak. I actually think that the song is catchy. Believe it or not, it only spent 3 weeks on the Hot 100 and 12 weeks here. It probably won't be long before the song leaves.

-Of course Bad Liar was going to become a hit. Hopefully this song will not become the next It Ain't Me.

-The best song on the chart and the worst song on the chart have to be next to each other. Fun fact: They actually tied on the chart, but because Malibu gained more than Scared to be Lonely did, that's why it's higher up. I think that the rule is pretty unfair.

-I highly doubt that Heavy will get above #16 at this point. If it can, it looks like we may have another contendor for a song taking a huge climb to the top 10.

-I believe that Despacito is almost in green, for those wondering. It has taken so long, considering the fact that I actually hated the song when it first debuted.

-You've read it right. Issues is back to red. There isn't anything to the song, just a combination of bad vocals and slow, sluggish production.

-I'm not very hot with the #1 song. Enough said.

The Chainsmokers + Coldplay (2) - Week of June 3, 2017

I didn't expect Malibu to become this big of a hit, as it just hit #10 on the Hot 100 this week. Too bad it blocked off Say You Won't Let Go from that spot. And of course Hollow Man is going to be pissed about Issues still being at #14. I highly doubt that song will hit the top 10 on the Hot 100 at this point. I however, am fine with that. And Miles won't be happy about Malibu hitting the top 10 either. And the biggest drop and the biggest jump are way beyond unacceptable. But enough of that. Let's get to our exits this week:
  • Axwell/Ingrosso/Kid Ink - I Love You (#34)
  • Zayn/PARTYNEXTDOOR - Still Got Time (#35)

New Entrants

-So we have a fucking bad song called Congratulations. I need to fucking throw shit over Post Malone for being really terrible in the song. At least Quavo is decent like he is with I'm the One. But seriously, did we really a song like this to become a hit? Seriously, this is one of the worst songs of the year so far. Secondly, did this song really need to impact radio so quickly? I know that it's dropping on the Billboard and all that, but do we really need a fucking rapper taking over a pop chart? Hopefully the song flops, because I'm fucking done with this.

-Oh great, we have more Hey Violet. I was not a big fan of Guys My Age. The music in this song is much worse. The lyrics are worse than the ones in Guys My Age. This doesn't look like the song that would become a huge it, and hopefully it won't. I hate the chorus in this song. Everything about the song is terrible. This is basically a re-creation of Guys My Age, but worse.

-This is the Kendrick Lamar that we need, one not from that atrocious Taylor Swift song Bad Blood, one performing in The Greatest, or that god awful Don't Wanna Know.The vocals are amazing for a rap/hip-hop song, and not one atrocious like the one in Panda. The production is really good. The lyrics are actually better than the ones in songs such as Look At Me! (which is basically the worst song of this year). These are the things that Kendrick Lamar does that most other rappers don't.

-And our hot shot debut pretty much has to come from the trashy Selena Gomez with Bad Liar. I can definitely see this song being as big as a hit as It Ain't Me is right now. I hated Selena Gomez's songs in 2016, but this song she is becoming much worse. This song and It Ain't Me pretty much proves my point, and both are one of the worst songs on the chart. I hate the production on this song. The verses are annoying, and the chorus is horrific. Does this get worse? Yes, it does. The lyrics are completely dumb. I can't understand why we need Selena Gomez in the music industry and making music that is really trashy. This is basically the second worst debut of the week, and you all know which one of the other three entrants is worse.

Bad Blurbs

-I Love You and Still Got Time will definitely not be missed, and basically just being space fillers. None of those two songs will be missed. Too bad Bon Appetit was only a one-week wonder on the chart, but it's flopping everywhere else, so I highly doubt the song will re-enter. And Hollow Man will be sad seeing Down leave, but it was eventually destined to go.

-Cake will most likely be gone next week, and hopefully it does.

-Si Una Vez is probably not going to last after this week and leave next week. If so, it matches the tenure of So Good. I don't have an opinion on this song, so before my opinion on the song is bad, hopefully the song will leave.

-I am actually not pleased to see At My Best drop fourteen spots this week. It's flopping everywhere else, so it was eventually destined to drop on this chart. Too bad the song couldn't go with a single week in the top 20 on this chart.

-Nice to see Body Like A Back Road make a jump on this chart, and take that haters.

-I'm not pleased with Play That Song dropping, and I was certain that Kissing Strangers was going to jump, but I guess that's not the case.

-Of course that atrocious piece of trash that debuted last week had to jump 10 spots. I can tell that the song is going to be a hit, because I already mentioned where it was on the Hot 100 this week. I don't see a departure from this song anytime soon.

-Slow Hands and Attention jumping were not surprising, but finally iSpy is going down.

-Thanks a lot, The Cure, for blocking off Scared to be Lonely from hitting the top 20. In that case, I probably should've put the song in dark red.

-Despacito jumping isn't that surprising, but it is the airplay gainer.

-Now or Never and Castle on the Hill jumping is fine with me, but Sign of the Times jumping isn't fine with me.

-I have officially grown into I'm the One and Issues. But they won't go into green, unfortunately, because I still think the production is bad.

-Stay is officially old. I hate hearing the song, especially with the annoying clocks in the background.

-Yuck! Out of the three songs in the top, two of them are in dark red.

-Thank you again, for that #1 song though.

-Wow. Not many people actually voted on my poll. It Ain't Me had 1 vote and Something Just Like This had 2 votes. Nothing much to say beyond that.

New Entrants

-For the first entrant at #40, I only heard the song once so I don't really have a say as to why or how I have an opinion on the song. Honestly, I'm surprised that the song even debuted on this chart. I'm not exactly going to talk about this song in much detail just because. The lyrics are good, but I don't like the production of the song very much. The vocals are really mediocre. And seriously, again, a bunch of featured artists is killing me when I type this out. Anyways, most of you are probably unfamiliar with this song. Don't worry, I am too. I can predict that this song is going to be a one-week wonder just because it's hardly popular.

-Well now we get interesting, with Katy Perry replacing herself with Bon Appetit. I think any Migos into the equation for this song pretty much makes the song a bit worse. Don't worry, I still like this song. The vocals are really amazing, and the lyrics are awesome. The only problem I have with the song is that the music can get annoying sometimes with the constant downbeats and all of that. But this song is definitely a much better version of Chained to the Rhythm. Migos adding himself to the song lowers my rating of the song a little bit, but that does not mean that I hate the song. Something tells me, though, that this song is going to flop here like Chained to the Rhythm did. But at least it made it here.

-I'm not very familiar with Miley Cyrus, nor that I really want to get familiar with her in the first place. I like Noah Cyrus's music much better, with her two singles of Make Me (Cry) and Stay Together, which were both pretty amazing songs. This one, I feel is just the opposite. I like Miley's vocals, but I don't like the production or the music that goes into the song. The lyrics I guess are okay, but whatever. I was actually juggling on between brown and yellow, but I decided yellow at the last minute just because of Noah Cyrus.

-Our best debut this week comes from Sam Hunt with Body Like A Back Road. I am a huge fan of Sam Hunt, with some of his songs being Take Your Time and House Party. Those were really good songs. This song matches with the exact same level as those two songs. I really like the production. The production is great and there is no reason anyone should hate the production of this song. The lyrics are actually really good. Same thing with the vocals. The music that goes in with this song matches with the song perfectly. Seriously haters, you really have to hate on such a good country song, and one of the best of the year?

-Our hot shot debut comes from Niall Horan with Slow Hands. I don't know if Hollow Man will like this song more over This Town, but I certainly do. The production is at a really good tempo and is not slow and sluggish like it was with This Town. The vocals are really good as well, just like they were in This Town. The lyrics are amazing as well. This is definitely the second best debut of the week, and I am looking forward to this song becoming as big as a hit like This Town was, if not, even more.

Slow Blurbs

-I'm sorry if the blurbs for the new entrants were pretty short. But the thing is, when there are more entrants, I can't write a lot, because that takes away from my more superior priorities.

-We did get rid of four old songs, and we'll see if I grow into any of them. The one exit that I think that does deserve recognition is G-Eazy and Kehlani with Good Life. Thank you for your amazing lyrics, right production, and great vocals. You will definitely be missed. You will probably see this song one last time on my top 40 songs of 2017 page at the end of the year.

-Just letting you know that the color for #40 means that I have no opinion on the song. I believe that this is the first time in which I used that color in one of my posts.

-Well, Marian Hill - Down is crowded with a bunch of debuts. I highly doubt it won't be long before this song leaves.

-Hopefully it won't be long before Still Got Time and I Love You leave. They're basically being a bunch of space fillers at this point.

-Hopefully it won't be long before Cake leaves at well. Thank you for bringing back bad Maroon 5 memories.

-Even though I think that the song is becoming old, thankfully Play That Song isn't finished yet. That's good.

-Great, Believer and The Cure are jumping. Seriously guys, this songs are complete garbage, especially with the former having the trashiest music humanely possible.

-So, are Scared to be Lonely and At My Best going to jump, or are they just to stay at middle ground?

-I have indeed somewhat grown into Despacito and Shape of You.

-It looks like this could be the end of Paris. Thank you for your time on the chart.

-Rockabye being in dark red is not a joke. I actually hate that song a lot now.

-Say You Won't Let Go jumping is fine with me but Issues jumping isn't.

-I don't understand the obsessions for It Ain't Me. The lyrics are so stupid, the music is trash, and the vocals are a letdown.

-Thankfully my favorite song on the chart dethroned my least favorite song on the chart from the top spot. This is what I call a good week.

-So, for our poll results, Something Just Like This had six votes, Stay had three votes, and the other three songs had exactly one vote each. Nothing much to say beyond that.

Greatest Gainer: Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling
I already reviewed this song last week. Just check my brief review from last week. (10/10)

Hot Shot Debut: Belly/The Weeknd - Might Not
The vocals are trash, the lyrics are dumb, and is definitely the worst The Weeknd song out there. Sorry guys, but I believe that this might be one of the worst songs of last year. (0.1/10)

-Thanks for reading!

Bruno Mars (3) - Week of May 20, 2017

Well then, this week did get better, but not by that much. We still have our trashy biggest jump of the week and our hot shot debut. And I hate the fact that I'm wrong about that last one-week wonder begging a one-week wonder, because that song re-entered this week, whether I like it or not. The point is, I kind of want music to get better. Before we get to this week's Top Pop Songs, or before I kill Miles, here are the songs that are dropping out.

New Entrants
-Because (unfortunately), Demi Lovato and Cheat Codes re-enter the chart with No Promises, that leaves us with only one entrant this week.

-That brings us to Charlie Puth with Attention. Personally, I kind of have mixed feelings on this song. Sometimes I will think it is boring, other times I will think that it is catchy. The verses are lenient and mediocre, but the vocals are great. On the other hand, I kind of don't like the lyrics. To be honest, I'll rate this song as decent. Anyways, let's get into some Charlie Puth experiences. One Call Away was really boring and We Don't Talk Anymore was one of the most overplayed pieces of trash and definitely deserves a spot on my bottom 5 songs of the year. But we'll see how far this song goes on the chart. I definitely somewhat enjoy this song, but it might not be long before I start to complain about it. So there's that.

Blurbstion

-Yuck, I will never miss any of our exits. They all deserved to go. Next!

-It's nice to see Good Life holding on, but I highly doubt it won't be long before it leaves.

-Speaking of songs leaving, Marina Hill - Down and Katy Perry./Skip Marley - Chained to the Rhythm are all dropping hard on radio. So unless they can somehow do something to help it gain more spins on radio, they'll be gone soon.

-It doesn't surprise me that I Love You isn't doing anything here. Because I rarely hear it, actually, so hopefully that means that it'll be gone soon.

-Finally, in a million years, Still Got Time is actually dropping on this chart. Hopefully that means that this song will flop.

-Well, The Cure might not be the worst song on the countdown, but that does not mean that I don't want the song to become a hit.

-You all would have probably expected Scared to be Lonely to be gone already. But, look where it is. And judging by the color that the song is in right now, hopefully it means that it will hit the top 20.

-Can iSpy just leave already? That would be appreciative.

-It looks like this could truly be the end of The Weeknd/Daft Punk - I Feel It Coming. I was not a big fan of it to begin with, so I won't miss the song that much.

-Well, Slide unfortunately became a hiit. Hopefully it'll just stay there and fall down.

-Cold and Paris dropping wasn't that much of a surprise. The latter I hope stays for a while longer, while the former should probably leave soon before I get another trashy Maroon 5 song on my mind.

-Issues and Say You Won't Let Go are moving in a pair. That wasn't unexpected, and I'm not surprised that this is happening, but hopefully the former won't hit the top 5. If it does, prepare to have a rant when the year-end list comes.

-Finally It Ain't Me reached its peak. Hopefully it doesn't go any further beyond that, because the song truly is a mess.

-And finally Shape of You is dropping. Hopefully the song will be gone soon, and I hope that another song that is good replaces Shape of You from the #1 spot on the year-end list.

-Even though it's not my favorite song on the chart, Something Just Like This should hit #1 on this chart soon. Therefore That's What I Like will have competition. But if I had to judge, they're pretty far off. But if Something Just Like This can keep gaining at the same rate, within two weeks it will be the new #1 song, if not the next week.

-Anyways, the poll results weren't that interesting. Stay got two votes, It Ain't Me and Something Just Like This got 3 votes, and Shape of You got 1 vote. Thank you all for making That's What I Like have no votes at all.

-Before I close my blurbs, I have two more things that I would like to mention.

-So first up is comment moderation. I have indeed turned comment moderation on, and you can thank the stupidity of Miles by saying that people's opinions are wrong and not respecting them. I only turned on comment moderation because of what is happening on Hollow Man's blog, and I really hope that Hollow Man turns on comment moderation on his blog as well because of Miles and his fucking stupidity. Meanwhile, I don't know how long I'll have comment moderation turned on, but it's definitely going to last until Miles can stop with the fucking stupidity of not respecting other's opinions.

-Finally, for those of you unaware, I have added a new feature on my weekly posts. I will be posting a number in parentheses for each song for my top 20 review and my top 5/bottom 5 picks. Basically, the number in parentheses is the rank of the song on the chart for this week (if the song is on the chart).

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago + Review On Greatest Gainer

Greatest Gainer + Hot Shot Debut: Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling
One of the most overplayed songs of last year. And for a good reason, too. The vocals are amazing, and lyrics are definitely a step up from other songs. I just can't stop the feeling! (10/10)

Other Debut: Selena Gomez - Kill 'Em With Kindness
I wouldn't say that this song is as bad as Hands to Myself or Same Old Love, but I still can't stand the verses in this song. Seriously, Selena, please stop killing us with your songs of yours! (3.5/10)

-Thanks for reading, everybody!

5/3/17

Bruno Mars (2) - Week of May 13, 2017

New Entrants

-So first up we have Despacito. I was kind of worried that this song was going to debut on this since it was gaining on the Hot 100. Of course I was right. This song is pretty much trash in every way, shape, and form. The lyrics are so bad, and what happened to Justin Bieber? Anyways, let's hope that this song can flop on here, but I highly doubt that is going to happen in the meantime. The point is is that the vocals are complete trash, and the verses are horrible. I can't even stand listening to this song, and I'm not lying when I say that this is a possible contendor for the bottom 5 songs of the year for all songs that appeared on this list, and it's not even the worst song on the chart, and the biggest jump of the week probably says why.

-Next up we have the song called I'm the One. Personally, I hate it when DJ Khaled introduces a bunch of other artists into his songs. He did the exact same thing with Do You Mind. Although this song doesn't have as many featured artists or the song's title (when I type the whole thing out) is as long, it's still a pain of a hassle to write. DJ Khaled only had one featured artist with Shining, though (which was a one-week wonder on this chart), but that still doesn't help me like DJ Khaled. Call me a hater, if you would like. The verses, vocals, pre-chorus, chorus, post-chorus, and lyrics are all trash in every way, shape, and form. Had it not been for this debut and that other debut, this week would've been a billion times better.

-Our hot shot debut thankfully comes from Shawn Mendes with There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back. I can honestly tell that I might sick of this song like I did with Mercy. His verses are really good, and I can't stop listening to this song when it comes on the radio. I'm sorry if this entrant review was short, but I'm running out of time.

There's Nothing Holdin' Blurbs Back

-As for our exits, Green Light was getting a little bit old, but I still loved that song. Million Reasons thankfully wasn't with us for more than twenty weeks. And that one-week wonder? Definitely worth it.

-Looks like Human and Bounce Back aren't going to be with this much longer. I'm fine with that, because I'm starting to grow out of Human and Bounce Back was way overdue. Hopefully their departures aren't that far away.

-Hopefully Weak and Believer dropping are signs that those songs are going to leave soon as well.

-I hope that Kissing Strangers can become the next Cake By the Ocean or Side to Side.

-Down dropping is fine with me since that song is getting old. But I still like it, so hopefully the song can stay for a little bit longer.

-The Cure is completely uninteresting and should leave soon.

-Well, that huge drop from Chained to the Rhythm was completely unexpected. But that's fine with me.

-Looks like Scared to be Lonely isn't done yet. That's good.

-Those three songs above Scared to be Lonely really need to leave this chart as soon as possible.

-Passonfruit and At My Best are really good songs. Please become hits!

-Now or Never actually had a really good increase in spins, but the reason it didn't jump is because it fell six spins away from Castle on the Hill.

-It looks like this is end of Love on the Brain.

-Sign of the Times, please don't become a hit! Too bad, Lukas, it already did. I hate myself now.

-Slide could become a hit. I was originally going to put this song in brown, but that doesn't matter anymore since it had almost a 400 spin increase.

-Well, I Don't Wanna Live Forever and I Feel It Coming are really falling hard. I don't exactly care at this point, and hopefully they'll both be gone soon as they're no longer popular and old.

-In my predictions, I was actually thinking that Issues was going to be above Say You Won't Let Go. Thank god I was wrong and that Say You Won't Let Go was actually higher. But they're less than 200 spins away, so it could change next week.

-It doesn't look like Cold is going to become as big as a hit as Don't Wanna Know. That's good.

-Stay jumping and getting a huge increase in spins is good, but on the other hand, It Ain't Me having a huge increase in spins is really bad.

-Words cannot describe how pleasing it is to see Something Just Like This be the greatest gainer for not just once, twice, three times, but FOUR times. Thank you so much! (copy this 2,359,238,238,234 times).

-Of course the top two songs hold their positions. These songs are actually decreasing in radio right now, so hopefully they'll fall down soon.

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago + Review On Greatest Gainer

Greatest Gainer: Drake/WizKid/Kyla - One Dance
I already reviewed this song two weeks ago. Just.....no. (1/10)

Hot Shot Debut: Desiigner - Panda
One of the most over-hated songs of last year. And for a good reason, too. Just, no. (0.1/10)

Other Debut: Calvin Harris/Rihanna - This Is What You Came For
One of my guilty pleasures. The beat is catchy, and the vocals are really good. Everything but the repetitiveness of the song. (9/10)

Other Debut: Ellie Goulding - Army
A song that appeared on this chart but not on the Billboard Hot 100. I definitely enjoy this song, and it's always going to be for a good reason. (9.5/10)

Other Debut: Bebe Rexha/Nicki Minaj - No Broken Hearts
W.............................T...................................F???????????????????????????????????? (0.5/10)

Other Debut: Melaine Martinez - Pity Party
This song only appread on the chart for one week, and I'm too lazy to actually write comments on this song. (4.5/10)
