Last Year's #1: High Hopes - Panic! At The Disco [4/8 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Memories - Maroon 5

Our first and only new song this week is Jesus In LA by Alec Benjamin. This is a pretty mediocre song. Alec doesn't have the best voice here, it sounding really young even though he's 25. It's not even that catchy. I don't really get what Hits 1 sees in this song or Alec Benjamin in general, with If We Have Each Other doing really well, even though it's not a single. I don't really want this song to do well.

Biggest DROP!!!: Nightmare - Halsey (-14): Geez. This fell really hard. Good. I hate this song and I really didn't want it to be a huge hit here. (I say that because it hit #2 a lot)

Biggest Jump: All the Time - Zara Larsson (+15): Okay, I have no clue why this song is at #11 since it's gaining zero traction everywhere else. I really hope this starts dropping and I have no clue why people like it.

Teeth - 5 Seconds of Summer [6]

Higher Love - Kygo/Whitney Houston [5]

Our Hit-Bound entrant this week is WHO DO U LOVE? by Monsta X (which sounds like a k-pop group's name) and French Montana. This song is okay. It kind of actually sounds like a k-pop song. Just english. But also not really. It's kind of cool. It's really not what I expected when I saw the title, and it's probably better than Who Do You Love. (Aw, geez. That's gonna get confusing.) Honestly, I wouldn't be mad if this debuted eventually. Ah. They are k-pop. Alright then.

Jesus In Blurb-A

We lost Let Me Down Slowly this week. The song was never that good. I'm glad to see it go and it just never really appealed to me, but I can see why people liked it even though it shouldn't have stayed that long. Good riddance.

Make You Mine hit the bottom 5 this week. Yeah, I'm not sure why this ever hit the countdown, but it was still pretty good.

Khalid finally credited Disclosure on Talk, and so did I!

Both Shameless and Liar fell this week. I'm kind of surprised, but honestly, I can kind of see neither of these songs doing well.

The Hype, Graveyard and Mother have their sights set on the top 20. I'm totally okay with The Hype and Graveyard hitting it, but Mother not so much.

boyfriend fell out of the top 20 this week just as I start to like it. Come on.

Hate Me's in the top 20. That's pretty good.

It's not looking too good for Goodbyes which is a shame since it's a great song.

I know I've said this a lot, but Hey Look Ma should not still be here. It's not even on the Hot 100 anymore.

You Need To Calm Down fell off of #1. *sigh* It was a good run.

But it got replaced by Cool. Why? Just because "WOW! The JOnas Brothers are BACK!"? That's not a reason. I'm sorry, this shouldn't be at #1 if the countdown at all. Come on. Stop it Hits 1. Get Only Human on the countdown instead of this hitting #1.
