New Entrants
- I am gonna go from lowest to highest starting now. This kicks us off with Power Is Power by SZA which is a great song; arguably the best off of the Game of Thrones soundtrack. I really like this song overall. The Weeknd starts the song with a pretty solid verse and then SZA's verse is great too. I think the production is nice too. Even Travis Scott has a good part in the song. I think what sold this song for me is the chorus. It's extremely catchy and infectious to a certain degree where it becomes really fun to sing along to. All thoughts considered, this is a really fun and great song that I can definitely see having success because hey, it's The Weeknd.
- Next up is 5 Seconds of Summer's new single titled Easier. I really like the chorus in this one. I think that without it, this song would be more like a Billie Eilish song rather than 5 Seconds of Summer. I like the verses too. The vocals are alright but the production really sold it for me. It's really well done and timed. The only letdown here is that there isn't really a lot of band vibes in this song as 5 Seconds of Summer is a band. They did it really well in songs like Who Do You Love, Jet Black Heart, and Youngblood but it was executed rather poorly here. Overall, this is probably gonna become a success and I'm happy about that.

'Cause Power Is Blurbs, Now Watch Me Burn It Down
- Sucker is #1 AGAIN for the tenth week. This is ridiculous. It needs to get stopped by something like ME! or If I Can't Have You and make sure that this overplayed space filler gives away the fame it doesn't deserve. This is all about their reunification and I'm betting that Cool won't debut the countdown.
- On the other hand, we have Walk Me Home at #3. I was really shocked when I heard about that and I'm also pleased to hear that P!nk is getting a real hit. What I find funny is that Walk Me Home is pretty much locked for the Hits 1 and Billboard Hot 100 Year-Ends of 2019 but has yet to debut the American Top 40. Just something I want to point out.
- Let Me Down Slowly sucks now. His vocals are a lot more childish than I initially thought and the production feels so basic and dull in reality. I would be glad to see if this would start dropping out soon. This is also the right time to talk about High Hopes. This is getting very out of hand. We can all tell it's about to last a year because this week one year ago is when it debuted HitBound. Another thing is Tequila could make it. If I recall correctly, High Hopes and Tequila debuted on the same week so if they both last for maybe four weeks then congratulations, you lasted a year. I think Tequila is going to be off by then though.
- However, I'm pleased about the drop from Close to Me. This is seriously some of the weirdest crap I've heard in years and I'd be glad to see it continue freefalling. Knowing Hits 1 though, it's gonna rebound in the next few weeks.
- After peaking at #20, So Close bumped down to #30. I think that NOTD and Georgia Ku deserve more success in the world and to see that happen would be a pretty cool thing. But yeah, this is gonna be gone in the next few months because Hits 1 sucks.
- Juice just sunk to #32. I like that this is something I wouldn't usually hear on the radio but honestly it just doesn't work for me and I would like to see this go soon. And it just started blowing up elsewhere?
- Chlorine did a complete 180. I'm sick of it now and that "falsetto" is the most annoying and unusual thing in modern alt music. I would appreciate if we could get it out soon and not have it become a hit.
- As far as our exits go, Low Key will most certainly not be missed. However, quick goodyes to Last Hurrah because I think it deserved way more success than it got. It seems that Bebe Rexha is the last thing everyone resorts to when they struggle and then it works well but when she makes music herself, it never becomes an actual hit. I'm A Mess was not an actual hit, just a sad excuse for a mediocre song. But Last Hurrah was a step up and it will certainly be missed.

ReplyDeleteI can agree with you on that one it is such an annoying song.
"After peaking at #20, So Close bumped down to #30. I think that NOTD and Georgia Ku deserve more success in the world and to see that happen would be a pretty cool thing. But yeah, this is gonna be gone in the next few months because Hits 1 sucks."
ReplyDeleteIMO no it should leave this week because Bea Miller's vocals sound like a crappy dinosaur.
"Juice just sunk to #32. I like that this is something I wouldn't usually hear on the radio but honestly it just doesn't work for me and I would like to see this go soon. And it just started blowing up elsewhere?"
ReplyDeleteIMO I still love that song. It has a catcy beat.
"Chlorine did a complete 180. I'm sick of it now and that "falsetto" is the most annoying and unusual thing in modern alt music. I would appreciate if we could get it out soon and not have it become a hit."

ReplyDeleteAgreed with you on Low Key, but disagreed with you on Last Hurrah. They both suck.

ReplyDeleteIMO no Power is Power is not the best song at all and it is also super hell. I hate it.
"Next up is 5 Seconds of Summer's new single titled Easier. I really like the chorus in this one.
