#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)
  • Katy Perry/Migos - Bon Appetit (#38)

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.
