Biggest Drop: Sam Hunt - Body Like A Back Road (-10)

Biggest Jump: Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still (+10)

Entrants:

- So, your kinda surprised with my color code of this song. It's not an error. Let me explain. There are songs where they have some tolerable repetition. This goes too far. Hearing "If It's Only Love Then..." every two seconds seems a little overboard and stupid. In addition, it tries to attract you but honestly, it just makes it worse. If you look at the lyrics, they seemed set up like a poem. Although I don't know these guys, I can tell that I shouldn't listen to anymore of their music.

Hitbound:

• Sofi Tukker - Best Friend
• Fall Out Boy - Hold Me Tight Or Don't (DEBUT)
• Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days
• Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves 
• Harry Styles - Kiwi 
• P!nk/Eminem - Revenge
• Walk The Moon - One Foot
• Liam Payne - Bedroom Floor
• Taylor Swift - Gorgeous 
• Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar
• X Ambassadors - Ahead Of Myself
• Bruno Mars - Chunky
• Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes
• Nick Jonas - Find You

 - Our only entrance is from Fall Out Boy. His last song, Champion, had a decent run on the countdown. This song seems overwhelming, and the vocals aren't shining like their better hits. Overall, decent at most.

Top 5:

1. Selena Gomez/Marshmello - Wolves

2. Post Malone/21 Savage - Rockstar

3. Taylor Swift - Gorgeous

4. Macklemore/Kesha - Good Old Days

5. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes

If It's Only Love Then Why Do I Blurb It

- It Ain't Me was starting to fade on me, plus it was really old and unnecessary to still be on the countdown. If you look at my Purple/Orange Squad, you will see that It Ain't Me was purple for 1 week. The song was pretty close to being red, almost making it a rare occasion of a purple song turning into a red song. 

- This looks like the end for Despacito finally. As soon as it hit 16 Weeks on Billboard, people were mixed about the song. As of myself, after that indecent, the song started to fade on me. Will it be the #1 song on the year end list? Maybe, since it has a good chance. 

- Our last week entrances aren't doing that much jumping. I didn't really care about all of them including Dusk Till Dawn, since it seems it debuted too late and is a song-holder. 

- My grade pretty much hates Logic except for those one or two fans who know every word of every song. However, everyone who doesn't like Logic likes the Suicide Hotline song only. I would fit in that category definitely. 

- Why is slowly fading on me every week. By the time it leaves, it will probably be red. I wish Hits1 would have picked up on Thumbs rather than Why, although neither are that impressive in my opinion

- I'm kinda surprised that Praying is still in the top 20. I know a lot of people like it so much that it is still there favorite song. As for me, I still think it's a good song. It's kinda like Something Just Like This. Both I know are old, but I still like the song very much. 

- Entering the top 10 is Let Me Go and What Lovers Do. The former I was kinda surprised by. I have grown into the song a lot, but not enough to appear in my top 5. The latter I expected. This song has been growing in popularity and it just gets higher. I expect this to do better than Don't Wanna Know (based off of Billboard, not Hits1). Also, I think Let Me Go might do better than Most Girls, but I'm still not sure. 

- Love So Soft drops for the first time in like 2 months. I actually have grown into the song. Not enough to make it green, but at least it's not red! That being said, I don't think this should hit the top 5. 

- Hitting #1 is from P!nk. That kinda caught me off guard. I can't say I'm complaining, but I don't think it's #1 material. However, i'll take it over Galway Girl and Love So Soft.
