Countdown Extra: Demons - Alec Benjamin
Our first debut this week comes from Rex Orange County, and I have to say, 10/10 really grew on me. I honestly didn’t expect this to be that good. But I like his voice a lot, and I find it kind of catchy. The whole song is a little repetitive, but I think it’s still pretty great. I can see this growing on me even more. *3 weeks in Hit-Bound, 4 weeks on Voting Poll
Next up, we have Fight by Tayla Parx and Florida Georgia Line. I actually forgot that Hits 1 stans FGL’s pop/country songs before this got picked up. This is pretty good. I think Tayla, Tyler and Brian all have some pretty good chemistry. They all have really good voices and it’s decently catchy. It’s pretty good, but not great. *2 weeks in Hit-Bound, 4 weeks on Voting Poll
At #32, we have Cuz I Love You by Lizzo. I don’t really want any more Lizzo songs. None of them are good. (Except maybe Good As Hell.) This isn’t as terrible as Truth Hurts, but it’s still really bad. It suffers from the same issues. Her voice is terrible, the instrumentation is generic, and it’s way too catchy for its own good. So yeah, this really isn’t good. *5 weeks in Hit-Bound, 6 weeks on Voting Poll
And for our best debut, a top 20 debut actually, we have What A Man Gotta Do by the Jonas Brothers. (Of course.) This song is great. These guys keep making absolute bangers, and I hope they never stop. This song is better than Only Human, and maybe even better than Sucker. The energy in this song is perfect. They seem super excited to be alive, and it’s infectious. So yeah, a really great song, and I have no doubt this will hit #1. *1 week in Hit-Bound, 2 weeks on Voting Poll
Best Debut: What A Man Gotta Do - Jonas Brothers
Biggest DROP!!!: Mother - Charlie Puth (-18): Well, considering this wasn’t a hit at all, yeah, this is a good drop. It was just kind of taking up space anyways.
Biggest Jump: Wanted - OneRepublic (+14): Well shoot. I thought this would flop, but I guess we can’t have good things around here.

What A Blurb Gotta Do
We lost four songs this week. Nightmare, If We Have Each Other, The Hype and Into the Unknown. Nightmare was terrible, and should’ve left a long time ago. IWHEO was old, so whatever. The Hype should’ve been a bigger hit, and same with Into the Unknown.
Who Do You Love finally hit the bottom 5. This took too long.
Same with Truth Hurts.
My Oh My is really close to the top 20, so that’s really good.
Don’t Start Now left the top 10. This is unfair.
Lose You To Love Me is finally top 5! But oddly, so is Teeth again.
CIRCLES IS #1!!! THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG, BUT THAT’S OKAY!!!

So now’s normally when I would do the album of the week, but this weekend, I just never got around to listening to Eminem’s new album. I knew I wasn’t gonna get this post out on time if I tried to listen to it, and honestly the album reviews are a lot of work, because of how many songs you have to listen to. So I might do it next week, but we’ll see.
First
ReplyDeleteThis week SOTB will hit Top 10 bc it is at number 16 right Beluga. Inb4 Beluga says yes
Bob Dylan is in the top 20! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh and also it seems like every time there's a great new #1 song, a really good Alec Benjamin song leaves.
ReplyDelete"Our first debut this week comes from Rex Orange County, and I have to say, 10/10 really grew on me. I honestly didn’t expect this to be that good. But I like his voice a lot, and I find it kind of catchy. The whole song is a little repetitive, but I think it’s still pretty great. I can see this growing on me even more."
ReplyDeleteAgreed.

I think Tayla, Tyler and Brian all have some pretty good chemistry. They all have really good voices and it’s decently catchy. It’s pretty good, but not great."
ReplyDeleteOf course it is amazing I love it and their vocals sound heaven!!!!! Fight is my favourite song imo.
"At #32, we have Cuz I Love You by Lizzo. I don’t really want any more Lizzo songs. None of them are good. (Except maybe Good As Hell.) This isn’t as terrible as Truth Hurts, but it’s still really bad. It suffers from the same issues. Her voice is terrible, the instrumentation is generic, and it’s way too catchy for its own good. So yeah, this really isn’t good."
ReplyDeleteI love Lizzo and CILY is super freaking amazing. My mom loves that song and I will like listen to it a lot of times. IMO it is heaven.
"And for our best debut, a top 20 debut actually, we have What A Man Gotta Do by the Jonas Brothers. (Of course.) This song is great. These guys keep making absolute bangers, and I hope they never stop. This song is better than Only Human, and maybe even better than Sucker. The energy in this song is perfect.

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
"Biggest DROP!!!: Mother - Charlie Puth (-18): Well, considering this wasn’t a hit at all, yeah, this is a good drop. It was just kind of taking up space anyways."
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
"Biggest Jump: Wanted - OneRepublic (+14): Well shoot. I thought this would flop, but I guess we can’t have good things around here."
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
"Replacing Paper Rings this week we have The Man by Taylor Swift, which I guess makes sense since it’s being pushed as a single, but I really would’ve rather had Paper Rings. Anyways, The Man is pretty good. The writing is easily the best part of this song, with Taylor singing about how if she was a man, how different her life would be. The production is alright, and it’s still pretty catchy, but I feel like Paper Rings is still so much better. Oh well."
ReplyDeletePaper Rings sucks, but The Man is alright. But my favorite is Only the Young which should debut HitBound and voting poll soon.
"We lost four songs this week. Nightmare, If We Have Each Other, The Hype and Into the Unknown. Nightmare was terrible, and should’ve left a long time ago. IWHEO was old, so whatever. The Hype should’ve been a bigger hit, and same with Into the Unknown."
ReplyDeleteGood riddance IWHEO, The Hype, ITU, and Nightmare you will NOT be missed. IMO I hate those songs.
Didn't you say on another blog that you like Alec Benjamin songs?
Delete"Who Do You Love finally hit the bottom 5. This took too long."
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
"Same with Truth Hurts."
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
"My Oh My is really close to the top 20, so that’s really good."
ReplyDeleteThat is really bad imo. My Oh My sucks already and I hope it falls and leaves soon.
"Don’t Start Now left the top 10. This is unfair."
ReplyDeleteOf course it is fair and DSN sucks like garbage. Yeah who never likes this song doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10. Let's hope it doesn't hit the Top 10 ever again.
"Lose You To Love Me is finally top 5! But oddly, so is Teeth again."
ReplyDeleteOh they need to leave the Top 10 and go away I hate those songs.
"CIRCLES IS #1!!! THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG, BUT THAT’S OKAY!!!"
ReplyDeleteNO IT IS NOT OKAY AT ALL, GO AWAY CIRCLES YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE #1.
