Niall Horan (2) - September 16, 2017

#1 Song Last Year: The Chainsmokers/Daya- Dont Let Me Down (2nd Week of 3)

Biggest Jump: Portugal. The Man- Feel It Still (+19)

Biggest Drop: Linkin Park- One More Light (-18)

New Entrant:
-After Hearing this song, I honestly can't explain it a lot to you. All I can say is that this is very mediocre. Be prepared to see this in red next week. Also, I dont care about this. Whether it jumps into the top 20, or peaks at #32. There are just some songs that people just don't care about and filling up space for good hip-hop to squeeze in.

Hitbound:

• PrettyMuch- Would You Mind
• Sam Smith- Too Good At Goodbyes
• Sabrina Carpenter- Why
• Zayn/Sia- Dusk Till Dawn
• The Script- Rain
• Hailee Steinfeld/Aleeso/Florida George Line- Let Me Go
• Ed Sheeran- Perfect (DEBUT)
• Why Dont We- Something Different
• Dua Lipa- New Rules (DEBUT)
• Selena Gomez- Fetish
• Evaride- Heartless
• Kelly Clarkson- Love So Soft
• Taylor Swift-... Ready For It? (It didnt debut?)
• Zedd/Liam Payne- Get Low

- And Wish I Knew You is gone...again! Wont be surprised it comes back...again!

Top 5:

1. Taylor Swift- ...Ready For It?
2. Hailee Steinfeld/Aleeso/Florida George Line- Let Me Go

3. Sam Smith- Too Good At Goodbyes

4. Zayn/Sia- Dusk Till Dawn

5. The Script- Rain

Blurb! (Sorry...)

- I talked about our exit a little bit in the intro. It just seems unfair, and I know that any song that is doing great everywhere else is going to fail here, hence Wild Thoughts leaving, but it feels weird. Despacito peaking at #3, Look What You Made Me Do only at #9, and Most importantly, I'm The One not even reaching the top 20. I am going to stop now to prevent myself from continuing this rant...

- Not much really happened, I still only have 4 "bad" songs, which is good, but there are a lot of blue songs that are on the border of red and blue. I'm talking to you #38, #32,#30,#26, and #23.

-#25-#28 are all songs that debuted last week. Halsey won the battle. Well not really...

- So, right when I like Linkin Park it drops. wow. just wow Hits 1.

- Yes, I have grown into What Lovers Do. I can just feel that I will never get sick of it, whether of overplay, or oldness

- Feel It Still jumped. Ill take it I guess

- So, the song that made it big by debuting at #13 (keep in mind, this tied the record for highest debut, with Call Me Maybe) decides to jump 3, then 1! I thought this was going to break the record for shortest amount of weeks to hit #1 (held by Adele- Hello with 3 Weeks) but no. Now it has no chance of breaking the record. Freaking Galway Girl is higher...HOW?

- The top 2 need to stop what there doing and drop. I'm tired of listening to these two songs nonstop. 5 Weeks. 2 Weeks. 7 Weeks undeserved weeks that could have gone to another song or two.
