Charlie Puth (1) - February 10, 2018

I am going to try to do this by my self for now on. I think that I have been caught up with everything except for the year-end stuff, which I can do anytime this month. I am also removing dark purple cause I actually don't see the point with the top 45 in place. I am also adding a score for the top 45. So, I guess I'll say welcome back me and I am officially going to do the countdowns myself! There are no exits, so lets get on with the countdown!

- After a very long time, Hits1 picks up on of the most underrated artists of 2017. I loved Location, but I think this is better. I can't really explain why this is so good for some reason... more on it when it debuts maybe. 

- Why the hell are we bringing songs from The Greatest Showman. Yeah, the vocals are fine, but everything else is atrocious. The transitioning to those high pitch vocals are all really bad. This is just disappointing.

Top 5:

1. The Chainsmokers - Sick Boy

2. Khaild - Young Dumb & Broke

3. Kesha/Dap-Kings Horns - Woman

4. Post Malone - I Fall Apart

5. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes

Blurbs:

- No exits...

- I am still happy that Sorry Not Sorry and What Lovers Do is still on here. They are very good songs that will be favorites of mine from 2017. But we still have Theres Nothing Holdin' Me Back and Galway Girl. Trash...

- I am very surprised that Rockstar got so high up on the countdown. Especially when you don't even cut out 21 Savage, but you cut out Quavo and Lil Wayne from I'm The One. They don't even bother putting any Kendrick Lamar singles, and rap songs that are really popular. 

- I have been really liking Finesse a lot, and I am very happy that Hits1 did not cut out Cardi B. In my opinion, her part is better than Bruno Mars'. I hope this can get to the top 10, or even the top 5. 

- And The Middle jumps. That is great. I am not going to listen to Zedd if he comes out with another song that is a Stay 3.0 and I think he probably will sadly. Just go back to when you made Stay The Night, or Clarity.

- End Game drops really hard from #1. I really still like this song a lot. And I think this is better than ...Ready For It?. That being said,if this can hit #1, then why didn't Look What You Made Me Do hit #1, when it debuted at #13! Hits1 logic...

- How is Beautiful Trauma, Ahead Of Myself, and On Foot in the top 10. I'm not complaining about two of them, but one of them should not be here on its 3rd week I think. 

- And hitting #1 is a very plain and bland song. Charlie Puth's music was never that amazing in the first place. His best song yet is See You Again, which is in my opinion the best song of 2015 and a contender for being the best of the decade. Everything else was decent I guess. Charlie Puth, I hope that you can bring some excitement in your songs.
