Blurbs

So this countdown generally makes more sense than the Weekend Countdown, with a few exceptions and it definitely makes more sense than the Hunger Games Countdown. The one downside to this one, though, is that there's almost never any movement on the chart. There are tons of songs that only move up or down by one and also lots of songs that don't move at all.

It's funny, the whole "old songs being able to stay on the chart as long as they're in the top 10 on the pop songs chart" rule makes it so that we still have songs like Levitating, my ex's best friend and positions even though they feel pretty old at this point.

WITHOUT YOU is our #1, which I'm alright with. Personally, I'd like to see pov hit #1, but it's definitely still a possibility, as we've had both positions and 34+35 hit #1 here.

After hanging around in this chart's Hit-Bound for a really long time, Arcade by Duncan Laurence is debuting due to Hits 1 adding it to their Hit-Bound.

Songs like Mr. Perfectly Fine, forget me too and Till Forever Falls Apart get frozen in the bottom half of this chart, because they're not actually hits, which helps to make this chart make more sense. Honestly though, I prefer having non-hits on the Countdown.

That's all! Stay tuned for my extra special Weekend Countdown post later.
