The Chainsmokers/Emily Warren (1) - Week #17

So... The Chainsmokers get yet another of their songs up there. Next up, Something Just Like This, hopefully! The problem with this song is that it is too old to just begin its reign and The Chainsmokers are getting annoying. Also, new to the countdown are all the debuts on Hit-Bound last week. And as Hit-Bound caught on to Hailee Steinfield's and Fall Out Boy's song, OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons, and some of the other stars of April 27th didn't make the cut. And for some insane reason Despacito is still not on Hit-Bound.

Exits:
Twenty One Pilots - Heathens (#38)
Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better (#42) 
Panic! At The Disco - Death Of A Bachelor (#44)[finally!]

Comments on debuts:
Attention is super catchy. Charlie Puth's voice is well used and this song is so much better than One Call Away. But I did not expect this song to debut this fast.

Shawn Mendes replaces himself. For There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back, it got a bit worse from my extremely mediocre definition of it last week.

I did hear The Cure quite a few times this week. This song is the first good song off of Joanne. I love the meaning of this song and the beat is cool. Or I am just relieved that Million Reasons is in the bottom 5.

Hit-Bound:
Ocean Park Standoff - Good News 
Mansionz/G-Eazy - Wicked
Hey Violet - Break My Heart
Jon Bellion - Overwhelming
Hailee Steinfield - Most Girls (DEBUT)
Zayn/PartyNextDoor - Still Got TimeDNCE - Kissing Strangers
Jason Derulo/Ty Dolla $ign/Nicki Minaj - Swalla
Aaron Carter - Sooner Or Later
Fall Out Boy - Young & Menace (DEBUT)
Erin Bowman - Good Time Good Life
Katy Perry - Bon Appetit (DEBUT)

One Ok Rock - American Girls 
G-Eazy/Kehlani - Good Life

There's Nothing Blurbin' Me Back
All the songs from #2-9 are amazing except for #6. I grew back into Shape Of You and Mercy.

Of course Closer had to re-enter the top 10 sometime.

Why is L.A. Devotee nearing the top 10? This song is so annoying. Victorious will be Urie's only good song.

Slide jumping into the top 20 infuriates me! Seriously, what is so good about this song??? And why pick this rap song of them all???

All Night finally goes into the top 20! Thank you Hits 1! We need more songs like this!

Heavydirtysoul really should be more appreciated than Closer, Play That Song, Slide...

Why on Earth is I Don't Wanna Live Forever still jumping? This song is so overrated. Bom Bidi Bom is the best song of the soundtrack and yet this one gets popular because is has Taylor Swift and some guy sings as high as he possibly can. If you enter the top 20 again,..

Nice to see Lights Down Low making it up step by step.

What makes no sense is that Don't Wanna Know is higher on the countdown than Sign Of The Times. 

The two big 20+ drops this week are fine by me!

  2. Why is Bon Appétit in red if it debuted your Bubbling Under chart?

    1. Sometimes I put songs on Bubbling Under even if I haven't listened to them yet (before I started blogging I actually put Hands To Myself on Bubbling Under). I do this because I like the artist.
