#1 Song One Year Ago: Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better (1st Of 2 Weeks)

Biggest Drop: Niall Horan - Slow Hands (-19)

Biggest Jump: TIE: Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do & Cheat Codes/Demi Lovato - No Promises (+13)

Entrants:

- I have not heard Meant To Be in a long time. From what I heard, it's decent. Florida George Line's vocals are pretty bad, and Rexha can't save the song, since she contributes less than Florida George Line. Overall, another country song that's down the waste. 

- Just like Meant To Be, I haven't heard this in a while. The best part of this song is Sia's vocals. Zayn maybe could have done better in his parts, but Sia saves the song. Who knew this pair could pull it off. Too bad this song is not that big at the moment. 

- Hits1 is picking up on a lot of newcomers, like The Shawdowboxers, and Lauv. My first impression on this was that this was really good. But now, I feel as if I the song has faded on me. However, the song is still solid and I can consider it a great song. Not bad for a newcomer. 

Hitbound:

• Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar 
• Harry Styles - Kiwi
• Sofi Tukker - Best Friend (DEBUT)
• Nick Jonas - Find You
• Walk The Moon - One Foot (DEBUT)
• P!nk/Eminem - Revenge (DEBUT)
• Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes 
• Bruno Mars - Chunky 
• Taylor Swift - Gorgeous
• Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves
• The Shawdowboxers - Hot Damn
• Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days
• Liam Payne - Bedroom Floor
• X Ambassadors - Ahead Of Myself 

- The production ruins the song. In addition, the vocals are not the best. It's sad that a newcomer, specifically a duo, can't come up with a good song. I wish Hits1 could stop picking up on newcomers, and unpopular songs, and can add more popular more deserved songs. 

- Walk The Moon is back after their big hit, Shut Up And Dance. This is not as good, but it is pretty solid. The vocals really shine in this song, and the chorus is really good. Overall, A pretty good song. 

- Eminem is really good. I loved him back when he released songs like Not Afraid, my favorite song from him. He is really good in this song, but there is is one problem. P!nk's vocals are not as good as I would expect. She doesn't ruin the song, but enough to not be my favorite. If she did not have bad vocals, this would have been my favorite song on Hitbound. My favorite part is in the end when Eminem says, "F*ck yeah!", but P!nk says, "F*ck no!"

- After repeated listens, I have grown into Gorgeous. The chorus is what stands out in the song. I hope this can debut cause there will be three Taylor Swift songs in my top 5. 

Top 5:

1. Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves

2. Taylor Swift - Gorgeous

3. Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar

4. Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days

5. P!nk/Eminem - Revenge

I'll be with you from blurb to blurb...

- All the exits I really didn't care about including Back To You. I knew it was going to leave sometime, and it just seemed there as a place holder. However, you will be missed. I have come to a final conclusion that You Already Know is a decent song. Fergie does good, but Nicki does bad. Finally, the trash song is out! You will not be missed!

- Heartless continues to fall all the way in the bottom 5. At this point, the song just becomes worse each time I listen to it. These newcomers that Hits1 decide to bring are not that good. 

- Shape Of You and Stay are surprisingly still here. I don't think I will ever get sick of both of these songs, especially the former. Ed Sheeran has dominated 2017. 

- Slow Hands took quite a tumble down to the top 30. I am pretty fine with this. If it stayed in the top 10 for any longer, I don't think I could take it. I'm happy it dropped. 

- Hits1 must have heard me and both Look What You Made Me Do and ...Ready For It? jumped into the top 20 and top 10, respectively. I was happy when that happened. I hope that Look What You Made Me Do can hit #1 first. It's kinda weird when the second/promotional single hits #1 first. 

- Yes! I grew into Glorious. After listening to a little of Gemini, I realized how good Skylar Grey's vocals are and Macklemore does a really good job with his part. 

- After Thunder got dethroned, I was hoping on Taylor Swift to hit #1, but obviously that backfired. I thought it was the end, but Demi Lovato saves the day. I think this became popular a little too late, but who cares. It's still a great song.
