Blog Intro Special: Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj (3) - Week of January 7, 2017

Hello! I'm continuing my blog intro special with the first week of this year on the Billboard Pop Chart. I wish I started this blog like at the start of the year just because, so I decided to make a "Blog Intro Special" which basically has twelve posts reviewing the twelve first weeks at I missed. This will also help me make my records page for this blog, similar to what . does on his blog, except for the fact that I'm removing a few sections and adding some more that I think are relevant to the chart itself. Another thing to mention that when I first reviewed them (not on this blog), I only had green, yellow, red, dark green, and turquoise. I didn't have purple or blue back then, but I'm adding them here because at the end of each post I had a favorite and least favorite song. I didn't have any blurbs back then or a top 20 review, but I am going to review the new entrants. Very few songs on this chart were actually on the latest chart (check my latest post, if you want). So let's to our exit:

New Entrants
-So our lone entrant comes from Clean Bandit and Sean Paul and Anne Marie with Rockabye. Personally, I have mixed feelings on this song. We have the catchy chorus, but the lyrics aren't that good. I mean, it sounds like Anne Marie is talking to like little kids when she sings her lines, and Sean Paul with his "rocka-rocka-rocka-bye" is actually kind of stupid. The thing that makes up for the song is the music and the catchiness of the song. I think saying that the song is bad would be an overexaggeration. But while it's in yellow at the moment, it's definitely closer to red than it is to green. Rating: 5.5/10


-I hope you enjoyed-seeing my review for this week along with past weeks to come (reviews, to be honest). Thanks for reading!
