Happy Good Friday everyone! Although more people than not take Easter as a normal holiday, I am nevertheless Orthodox and have a massive religious ceremonial progression within the next two weeks.
Anyway.
This album came out out of absolutely nowhere today, and I am a simple person: I see a Weeknd album I MUST review it. He is one of my favourites out there in the past few years and continues to amaze.
The title has a comma there to complicate, although I believe it to be the beginning of a letter. Honestly, I hope that no girl wants to hear some of those lyrics...
Anyway, let's begin the review of either a short album or a long EP. Either way, there are six songs, so this shouldn't last too long.
Track 1: Call Out My Name
~This is one of those songs that just don't work. Those verses are painful. But the chorus compensates, and combined with that signature production, it comes out pretty good. I feel as if The Weeknd got a bit lazy here.
Score: 6/10
Track 2: Try Me
~That chorus is so catchy! Although I have danced more to The Weeknd songs, this is the style that I love from him. I am talking about Reminder and Party Monster. With this and that, I have no idea what he is saying, but those snares add a very nice touch with his fabulous voice. The production is really unique to The Weeknd.
Score: 8.5/10
Track 3: Wasted Times
~Yeah, this one kind of fell apart. I notice a strong resemblance to some of Post's music, and only Post can make Post music sound good. Not The Weeknd. This song is way too repetitive. I was expecting more from The Weeknd.
Score: 3/10
Track 4: I Was Never There (ft/Gesaffelstein)
~I have never heard of Gesaffelstein ever before. But he works well with The Weeknd, until the unnecessary squeaking in the chorus. That is really annoying. I find this song, again, to be much too repetitive and unnecessarily annoying therefore.
Score: 5.5/10
Track 5: Hurt You (ft/Gesaffelstein)
~I wish The Weeknd would stop doing the same thing over, and over again. Gesaffelstein does nothing that The Weeknd couldn't do better. I mean, is this The Weeknd I know?
Score: 2/10
Track 6: Privilege
~Finally, a good, solid chorus. Although The Weeknd tries to sound meaningful, it only works here. Only. This song is really mystical and I love the production. It is the sort of sway music that I rarely like. He doesn't sing much. That noise between chorus and verse is borderline, though.
Score: 8/10
Final thoughts: This was the worst album I have heard in a long time. What happened? I feel as if this took The Weeknd a week to make. Come on. All he can do is take the same production, repeat it until you die, but switch up the words a bit and hire some gospel producer who does absolutely zip. This album, is really forgettable, and now I am off to listen to some Panic and Bad Wolves to please my ears. Bye!

1. Bad Wolves - Zombie (#1)[3rd week at #1]
This week's countdown was hosted by Shawn Mendes. Which definitely explains that one debut at an inopportune time. We have some good and some bad, we have a fabulous new song by Brendon Urie (our Hit-Bound host this week) that gets better every listen, and Zombie ssems to find its name nowhere on the countdown or Hit-Bound. Hopefully this won't last long, seeing as it had 17 spins in three days. Anyways, we have a marvelous exit that made my day, sort of.
NO shenanigans. This post is complete.

Comments on debuts (4):
Done For Me is boring considering Charlie Puth's new standards. This song is so forgettable, and I hope this can have a short run so Charlie can stay good. Kehlani was a strange choice but I love her. She is mediocre, also, though. This song is just nothing to me. I hope it doesn't have to become annoying.
If I had to pick songs to debut straight onto the countdown among the new songs this week, I definitely would have picked Zombie first, but that didn't happen, and better, honestly. Anyway, I would never have thought that this Julia Michaels song with some unknown face with a lousy voice would debut without hit-bound's help. Julia Michaels is, overall, i would say, interesting at best. Uh Huh was her best song because I don't know why. Issues was groundbreaking, I find, but all her music sounded very similar after that. But she doesn't even take up much of the song. It is this guy, Noah Kahan. I don't like his voice at all. The song reminds me vaguely of Miss You near the beginning, but James Hersey made a masterpiece with a mellow song with, somehow, a fantastic build up. But this song just stays mellow all the way through with nothing changing.
I would never have thought In My Blood would debut that fast after two days, but given it is a Shawn Mendes song AND he was hosting the countdown I realize that it shouldn't be much of a surprise. The song starts off with just talking, it feels like. Then the production kicks in. I find this song reminds me of Mercy. It is definitely a step up from the exit (yes!) but the song is still a bit boring. I like the chorus a lot though. It is a different song to what we hear nowadays. Shawn Mendes's voice could use some work though.
I find I could not explain more than what I explained last week: Delicate is typical Taylor Swift standards. Repetitive, annoying, bad voice and production, but this song is so innocent and feels so much like nothing happened after I listened to it. I have never felt like that before.
Hit-Bound
~I grew into a bunch of songs on here this past week, especially Demi Lovato's song.
~Say Amen is fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, fantastic... I love it so much! Brendon Urie has been going downwards, but he totally redeemed himself with this smasher. This will 100% debut on MWP next week. The only question is whether it will be #1 or not. I look forward to hearing Brendon Urie introduce it on Hit-Bound this week when I hear him host :)
Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign – Psycho
Alice Merton – No Roots
Bazzi – Mine
Halsey – Alone
Demi Lovato – Tell Me You Love Me
Foster The People – Sit Next To Me
Portugal. The Man – Live In The Moment
Dustin Atlas/Erin Bowman – Fake Friends
Panic! At The Disco – Say Amen (Saturday Night) (DEBUT)
Drake – God's Plan
Welshly Arms – Legendary (RE-ENTRY)
Rudimental/Jess Glynne/Macklemore/Dan Caplen – These Days
Dua Lipa – IDGAF
Thirty Seconds To Mars – Walk On Water
Top 5:
1. Say Amen (Saturday Night)
2. Legendary
3. Walk On Water
4. Tell Me You Love Me
5. God's Plan
Tell me what Blurbs have Done For Me
The Middle reaching #1 was bound to happen again, I know, but this song it just way too popular for what it's worth. One Foot will probably hit #1 in a month from now, and Let Me Go is done on all other stations. Perfect is still going strong everywhere for some reason. Him & I just now entering the top 5 is typical Hits 1, but I classify Him & I as 100% a rap song.
Wait should leave, now. Let You Down is still holding on. It really is a big hit for NF and it is deservedly so. It is still a remarkably marvelous song.
Thunder and Young Dumb & Broke made strange leaps into the top 20. It sounds like Hits 1 logic, and it is, actually, but I don't like it.
I would have thought that Lights Down Low would have stayed higher for longer. Anybody know when this debuted? I want to count the weeks until 52. Unsteady lasted 50 with a peak at #6 and Stressed Out lasted 51 being the #1 song of 2016. Believer did last a year and more, but I will not let another song leave just before the mark.
The biggest drop was one of two awesome events that happened this week. Finally people understand that this song should not be popular.
Hits 1 cut out Alan Walker's parts in All Falls Down. That was literally the only good part. They are shortening a bunch of songs now. I just hope that Pray For Me can remain untouched. I don't really listen to Hits 1 that much anyway, but I hope that when I hear Pray For Me Kendrick is still there.
I hope Friends doesn't pull a Say Something. I adore both those songs. They deserve more.
As did My My My! Ahead Of Myself wasn't much in my opinion, but What Lovers Do was one of my 2017 favourites.
Finally, after all these weeks of torture, after hearing this song on the radio nonstop and desperately trying to find a channel that is not playing it, after ranting on and on and on for hours at a time...
SHAWN MENDES - THERE'S NOTHING HOLDIN' ME BACK HAS FINALLY LEFT THE COUNTDOWN! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!
REJOICE!
Top 5:
1. Let You Down
2. Pray For Me

5. Lights Down Low
Bottom 5:

Week #11 (updated: blurbs+colours)
So I'm at the point where if I don't post on time, I don't post at all.
This week was fun! We had a bunch of activity, but not necessarily good. We had a strange exit and a #1 I completely forgot was anywhere. And a fantastic song debuted! But the exits were really, really bad. All in all, MANY very questionable events.
Anyway, the past two weeks of MWP:
Exits: Leave A Light On (#3); Say Something (#9)
10. Marshmallow/Anne-Marie - Friends (#8)
9. Welshly Arms - Legendary (#7)
8. The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me (#6)
7. NF - Let You Down (#10)
6. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Want You Back (DEBUT)
5. Bigflo & Oli - Dommage (#4)
4. BTS/Steve Aoki - MIC Drop (#1)
3. Sultan/Sheppard/Nadia Ali/IRO - Almost Home (#5)
2. The Chainsmokers - Sick Boy (#2)
1. Bad Wolves - Zombie (Top 10 DEBUT)
This week:
Exit: Friends (#10)
10. Kendrick Lamar/SZA - All The Stars (Top 10 DEBUT)
9. Bigflo & Oli - Dommage (#5)
8. Welshly Arms - Legendary (#9)
7. The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me (#8)
6. Sultan et al. - Almost Home (#3)
5. 5 Seconds of Summer - Want You Back (#6)
4. NF - Let You Down (#7)
3. The Chainsmokers - Sick Boy (#2)
2. BTS/Steve Aoki - MIC Drop (#4)
1. Bad Wolves - Zombie (#1)[2nd week]
Potential:
Too Many Friends; God's Plan; Love Lies; No Drama; King's Dead; We Are...; Trust Fund Baby
THE COUNTDOWN!!!
Exits:
Eminem/Ed Sheeran - River (#19)[?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!]
The Chainsmokers - Sick Boy (#39)[NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!]
Post Malone/21 Savage Rockstar (#41)[NOOOOOOOO!!!]
Louis Tomlinson - Miss You (#45) :(
Biggest jump: Hold Me Tight Or Don't (+15)
Biggest drop: Thunder (-20)
Young Dumb & Blurbs
I would never have expected Let Me Go to reach #1, but Hailee Steinfeld seems to please more than she should in my opinion. The drop is really bad. The only thing keeping me from putting this song in pink is the chorus.
One Foot is now at #2. I really hope that this can reach #1. This is actually doing well here although being a flop everywhere else. Although this will never do as well as Shut Up And Dance, it at least made a show for itself.
We has some changes in the top 10. First of all, Meant To Be left instead of many other bad songs but it doesn't disturb me actually since it has had its time. We have two major drops from Thunder and Wolves. They are both pretty old songs, and they were bound to drop at some point. Bad At Love should be gone by this point.
P!nk came back into the top 10 which you know I am definitely not happy about. Lauv seems to be pulling a Lights Down Low being only popular really late after its release. Hold Me Tight Or Don't jumping into the top 10 so unexpectedly made me smile :)
Well, at least Whatever It Takes didn't take forever to reach the top 10. I do not listen to this song anymore because I still want to like Imagine Dragons.
Let Me Down is a really big song right now, especially for me, where it is currently doing really well in 2018 and could potentially be in my top 5 for the year. A rap song managed to get into the top 10 and that is something special.
Never Be The Same is a really really bad song that should be nowhere near where it is. The only people who like this are fans who will not accept to hate it.
Justin Timberlake really cannot get anything big like he used to. Like The Chainsmokers. Say Something and Sick Boy are really good songs, but their other singles are really bad. You would think that such a good song like Say Something would be popular. This is unique.
Finally, the exits. Sick Boy was a fantastic song and will be remembered forever in my books. Rockstar has a shot at being in my top 10 of the year again. Post got spot on with this one. I have always enjoyed his voice. River was really underrated, although Eminem can be better, Ed Sheeran shined like Make It Rain. River has flaws but was fantastic. I grew into Miss You this week but it had to leave...
Throwback pick of the week: The Cranberries - Zombie
#1 recommendation for Hits 1: Bad Wolves - Zombie
Most missed countdown song: The Vamps - Wake Up
Bottom 5:
1. There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back
2. Never Be The Same
3. Beautiful Trauma
4. Love So Soft
5. Good Old Days

Comments on "debuts":
I find This Is Me to be boring and I do not like Keala Settle's voice. I find this song strange on hits 1. I don't have much to say, but I don't really dig the style.
No Excuses is typical Meghan Trainor, I already talked about it and I don't have much to add. The song is repetitive and annoying, but the chorus has some catchy aspect to it. I never hear it on the radio, so I don't think it will be something big, but if it will be, I will probably grow out of it fast.
I don't like Ke$ha, period. But Praying was a heck of a song in the chorus. But Ke$ha does not have a good voice in my opinion. She has had one good song: Praying. All the other songs are vulgar, annoying, or just boring. I know Ke$ha has it in her, but Woman is not anywhere hear her best work.
Young Dumb & Broke was a hit in Montreal half a year ago. I'm not saying it is that bad. But it was an actual hit, played a lot. So I have grown out of it. It is a unique song and Khalid has a weird voice, but an interesting one. I really hope this one doesn't last long so I can keep it out of my bad books.
Friends has a fantastic pre-chorus and chorus, fantastic! Anne-Marie is absolutely marvelous and Marshmallow makes a nice harmony and beat. I have grown into the verses slightly, but at the bridge more often than not I change the channel because of that painful noise in the last chorus and the cringe lyrics. Anyway, a great, great song for half the time.
On The Loose is another OneDirection song. 50% of their songs sound almost identical. but this one takes everything down a notch, so it becomes easily tiring. Niall can do better, but honestly, Too Much To Ask will probably be his best in this style.

~Sit Next To Me is different, IDGAF is a lot like New Rules, God's Plan is actually catchy, Delicate is Taylor Swift bad but so innocent, Alone is the new Halsey, Tell Me You Love Me is boring, Done For Me is a step down in production. There we go.

Young Dumb & Blurbs
I would never have expected Let Me Go to reach #1, but Hailee Steinfeld seems to please more than she should in my opinion. The drop is really bad. The only thing keeping me from putting this song in pink is the chorus.
One Foot is now at #2. I really hope that this can reach #1. This is actually doing well here although being a flop everywhere else. Although this will never do as well as Shut Up And Dance, it at least made a show for itself.
We has some changes in the top 10. First of all, Meant To Be left instead of many other bad songs but it doesn't disturb me actually since it has had its time. We have two major drops from Thunder and Wolves. They are both pretty old songs, and they were bound to drop at some point. Bad At Love should be gone by this point.
P!nk came back into the top 10 which you know I am definitely not happy about. Lauv seems to be pulling a Lights Down Low being only popular really late after its release. Hold Me Tight Or Don't jumping into the top 10 so unexpectedly made me smile :)
Well, at least Whatever It Takes didn't take forever to reach the top 10. I do not listen to this song anymore because I still want to like Imagine Dragons.
Let Me Down is a really big song right now, especially for me, where it is currently doing really well in 2018 and could potentially be in my top 5 for the year. A rap song managed to get into the top 10 and that is something special.
Never Be The Same is a really really bad song that should be nowhere near where it is. The only people who like this are fans who will not accept to hate it.
Justin Timberlake really cannot get anything big like he used to. Like The Chainsmokers. Say Something and Sick Boy are really good songs, but their other singles are really bad. You would think that such a good song like Say Something would be popular. This is unique.
Finally, the exits. Sick Boy was a fantastic song and will be remembered forever in my books. Rockstar has a shot at being in my top 10 of the year again. Post got spot on with this one. I have always enjoyed his voice. River was really underrated, although Eminem can be better, Ed Sheeran shined like Make It Rain. River has flaws but was fantastic. I grew into Miss You this week but it had to leave...

Comments on debuts:
All these debuts are important. But I feel the need to talk the most about All Falls Down. Alan Walker has forever been by absolute favourite DJ. Faded, Alone, Sing Me To Sleep, Spectre... All his songs have this signature atmosphere that I enjoy so much. The mysterious electronic effects with those fantastic Norwegian singers make fantastic music. Now, I mentioned when I talked about Make Me (Cry) in my top 45 songs on Hits 1 from 2017, I said how good Noah Cyrus handled her mediocre voice in some songs. However, recently with I'm Stuck, I feared her collaborating with Alan Walker. So when I first heard this song I came with such high expectations for Alan Walker and he did not disappoint with the production, but really low ones for Noah Cyrus, so she did not disappoint either. I had this way up somewhere around #8 at some point on MWP. I guess I never gave this song a good listen since it was Alan Walker. And then at some point I heard this on the radio and I listened to it properly, since I expected it to debut at some point and I needed something to say. I realized that Noah Cyrus was actually really bad in All Falls Down. I feel as if she gave it a half-baked job. And the cringe way of swearing, right off the bat, makes it so much worse. She doesn't have a good voice, and in this song, she shows it. This is what I feared by Alan Walker. Don't get me wrong, his drop is still great. But the two singers, including that extremely annoying guy with a sort of Labrinth voice in the second verse, sound awful. This is, in my opinion, a remake of Make Me (Cry) with more crazy vocals and a heavy electronic part. This is definitely a stain on Alan Walker's resume and has, sadly, ruined his perfection for me.
I had Whatever It Takes on a CD for the road trip to the mountains this week one year ago. It was actually my #78 favourite song from 2017. It was my jam for half a week. Then I stopped listening to it so much since I would probably grow out of it. I next listened to it after 7 or 8 months, when it debuted Hit-Bound. I still loved the rock feel in the chorus and those powerful vocals so I put this song in yellow. But Imagine Dragons are really heading downwards, and hard. That rapping is so uncharacteristic of Night Visions them, I find it to be okay, but really on the edge. The new Imagine Dragons are worse. As it is with most bands.
The new Fall Out Boy, the next Imagine Dragons, but this version of 5SOS is surprisingly good. I love how they took it down a notch but kept hints of their style. 5SOS sounded old in their previous music, but now they have caught on and sound really interesting and abstract compared to what I am used to from them.

~Don't Wanna Feel It was never going to be anywhere, and I found it bland anyway.
~Meghan Trainor is someone I want to change. this is another typical out of her recent songs. The verses are really annoying, but the chorus is surprisingly catchy. More on it when It goes somewhere.
~I really love the chorus of No Roots, and the bass is cool. It is old my 14 months, though, but new to me, so expect it to debut MWP next week :)
~That title made me head into this song with really low expectations. But the song sounds surprisingly okay considering it IS the girl from Good Time Good Life.

1. Legendary

Blurbs Fall Down
Middle at #1 was totally unexpected. From #20 to #1 in two weeks almost never happens. Anyway, I am not complaining as much as with some other songs at #1, but the production is still really lazy and not coordinated.
The #2-4 should really start making their way down. They have had their time.
We have two fantastic jumps into the top 6 from Lights Down Low and Let You Down. They were both expected, but I am still really happy about them. They are really good mellow songs, two of my favourites right now. I love taking a break from the chaos of the radio to listen to these two. I really, really, really, really hope that one of them can hit #1 within the next month.
Not much is happening in the top 20 except some songs moving around. We did have Finesse enter and Ahead Of Myself take a massive, but expected drop, but otherwise...
The Weeknd is on the brink of the top 20, while our other debut last week already dropped a LOT and is about to leave. I mean, come on. Why could this one of all Chainsmokers songs be the song that doesn't make a show for what it's worth?
Nothing is happening in our bottom section either. I still am a great fan for What Lovers Do, Rockstar, etc. but they aren't doing anything.
I remember around this time of year in 2016 (~March 26) Hits 1 had a weekend countdown where everybody pronounced the creators really drunk and high where we had massive jumps and drops all over that place. I hope we get another one of those since I don't have many praises about the countdown right now.
Ok, our exits. All Time Low leaving was totally a surprise. I never had much for that one. I know many people will have a private funeral for Praying, since it was a big one in this blogging community. I still adore the chorus, but not really the verses. The big exit for me this week, is, FINALLY, Too Good At Goodbyes. I still hear this song on the radio. I don't get what people like about this song. His voice is so whiny and the song is really boring! Anyway, good riddance. One bad song down, 17 to go.
