Last Year’s #1: Nice To Meet Ya - Niall Horan [1/8 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Bitter - FLETCHER/Kito

So our one and only debut this week, at #29, is Bummerland by AJR. This definitely isn’t my favourite AJR song, but that doesn’t mean that it’s bad. It’s just missing some of that over-the-top AJR charm that they have in most of their songs. Jack Met sounds good though and I like the bridge when the instruments just kind of blend together, I find that kind of cool. Anyways, this is a pretty good song, but nowhere near as good as Bang!.

Biggest DROP!!!: Dynamite - BTS (-5): I can’t believe Hits 1 isn’t making this a hit here. It should be in the top 5, not nearly out of the top 20.

Biggest Jump: Fallin’ (Adrenaline) - Why Don’t We (+6): Ayyyy, I am glad that this is gonna be in the top 10 soon though.

Blurb-erland, Here I Am

Our only exit this week was WOW. I’m really glad this wasn’t a hit and I’m happy it only lasted a couple weeks.

Not too much happened this week except for one major thing. Golden didn’t move and it’s still sitting at #4. Meanwhile, Levitating is at #2. I really really hope that Levitating hits #1 soon. The best outcome of this would be that Levitating hits #1 next week, then actually blocks Golden for a couple of weeks. The worst outcome would be that Golden ends up dethroning Wonder and Levitating never gets to see the light of day. I’d even be happy if Levitating just got one week at #1. That’s all I ask.
