Hey...

Hey people! I just felt like I have not posted in a while and I wanted to give you some information. Before I begin, no I am not officially going to post weekly, but I will still be hanging around this community once in a while. I might even post some countdowns if I feel like I want to.

So let's begin by saying my opinions on some music has changed, but not a lot. There is probably only minor changes, but enough to be noticeable. Lets use the Billboard Hot 100 for example. Here is the top 20 songs for 5/26/18 color-coded. I am using the (countdowns) color-code.

Let me know if you want an explanation on one of the songs. 


So there you go, there is my current opinions on 20 popular songs. Before I go i want to say something way off-topic...



LETS GO CELTICS!!!
Without there arguably two best players down, they are in the Eastern Conference Finals and took 2 games from the Cavaliers and the King James. Even if they lose this series, you have to give them props. That all I wanted to say... 


I hope you all have a nice day, and I might See You Again

Taking A Break...

Hey Guys! So recently I think you guys noticed that my posts looked rushed and the blurbs are really short. In addition, the last weekend countdown post did not have the top 45, but instead a top 20 review. All of this is for certain reasons that I am going to talk about today. And yes homework is one but I am not going in depth in that. 

Now, recently I am feeling demotivated and these post seem like I have to get them out, which means that they are not fun to me anymore. But every time I think of that, there is really one question in my mind. "Why am I doing this?" Originally it was to maybe lighten someones day, or to express my opinion to other people so they can share their thoughts, but recently the answer would be something like, "I don't know" or "wait, what is the reason. Why am I continuing to so this." Usually, if I don't like doing something, I don't do it, and most of you can agree. This blog would fall in the I don't like doing something category. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing my opinion and sharing my thoughts to you all, but this just seems like a chore more than a hobby. 

Also, I just want to say this very bold thing. I am not a big music critique. I do not know a lot the stuff that goes in music, which is why my explanation on songs is so bland. And I think you all realized that. My most common explanation why I hate a certain song is usually, "___'s vocals are really bad", or "the chorus is bad." That is really all I know, and I really can't explain it to you why I hate it, which brings to my same question. "Why am I doing this?" Trust me, I don't even know what a bridge of a song is. But really, that really makes you think why a person who knows nothing about how music works can do a successful blog. Well, I wasn't making the blog so that I can see if it will be successful. I made to express my feelings and not always keeping it inside me all the time. I don't know a lot about artists, but somehow I can get away with it. And you see all these other people in the blog explaining the song so well and making me realize, "thats what I meant", but all I put was, "the vocals are good, I hope this song does good on the countdown. NEXT!" Just look back at my first posts and you will see how bad my explanations were. 

So, the big question is, "When will I come back?" I am not sure. I need to get settled and not feel a lack of motivation, and need to work on my homework more carefully. It is not like this blog is dead, or I just don't like talking about music. I wanted to share my thoughts and engage conversations with people who are in this community, which by the way, this community is really nice and I thank them for their kindness and knowledge to my blog, and my overall knowledge on music. But, I am sorry I have to leave, this cannot go on forever. And it is really tough typing this up, cause I know people like this blog and want to see more, so I am truly sorry for this.  

Thank you for everyone for reading my posts and taking their own time to read them and hopefully I will See You Again

Biggest Drop: Dua Lipa - New Rules (-11)

Biggest Jump: *TIE* AJR/Rivers Cuomo - Sober Up & Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle (+13)

New Entrants:

- So, I have been enjoying Sick Boy, but I kinda overhyped my opinion. I really like this song, but this is not as good as any of their previous works like Closer, and Something Just Like This. I already went on a rant about them on the last post, but i wish they went back to collaborating with other artists. Those were the songs I really liked a lot. However, I hope Sick Boy does good on the countdown and I like the message the song is bringing. 

- So, I knew this was going to debut the next week it debuted Hit-Bound. I really am enjoying this song, and I am actually going to see Black Panther today as I am writing this. I like what Kendrick Lamar has to give and I am glad that Hits1 did not edit him out. Then again, if they did, this would be a different song. I also listened to the Black Panther album and I really like it. One favorite of mine is All The Stars by Kendrick Lamar with SZA. I don't know if I will do a album review, but if I have more free time then maybe. This song should have some success since it is doing really good. 

Hit-Bound:

• Portugal. The Man - Live In The Moment
• Marshmello/Anne-Marie - Friends (DEBUT)
• Keala - This Is Me
• 30 Seconds To Mars - Walk On Water (DEBUT)
• Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign - Psycho (DEBUT)
• Kesha/Dap-Kings Horns - Woman
• Rudimental/Jess Glynne/Macklemore/Dan Caplen - These Days
• Welshy Arms - Legendary
• Khalid - Young Dumb & Broke 
• Bazzi - Mine (DEBUT)
• Wild Things - Don't Wanna Feel It 
• Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes
• Niall Horan - On The Loose
• Alan Walker/Noah Cyrus/Digital Farm Animals - All Falls Down

- I thank Hits1 for bringing Marshmello back. I really like this song and Anne-Marie's vocals are nice. Walk On Water I hear all the time on college football for some reason. Psycho is amazing, and I think it is better than Rockstar. Mine is a guilty pleasure of mine and I am not proud about it...

Top 5:

1. Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign - Psycho 

2. Khalid - Young Dumb & Broke

3. Bazzi - Mine

4. 30 Seconds To Mars - Walk On Water

5. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes

Blurbs:

- One of our exits will be missed and the other will not. Even though ...Ready For It? is in blue, I will remember this song and will most likely grow back into the song. Niall Horan needs to find something that is actually good. On The Loose is actually worse than this though. 

- I am very surprised Theres Nothing Holdin' Me Back is still on the countdown, but that is one of Hits1's favorite songs so I am not surprised. I will never grow back into this song and I don't even know why I even liked this song in the start. I never really liked Shawn Mendes in the first place, but I did kinda like Mercy and "Betta Than He Can!" was actually trash. 

- So... out of all the songs that debuted last week, of course AJR's song had to jump the most. Who actually likes AJR. Who even is a AJR fan... probably a few people though. I am still waiting for an AJR song that is actually good, but that day will never come...

- So were letting a Stay rip-off jump into the top 10. Seriously? Zedd's lazy production made this song in red, and Maren Morris ain't saving this song. I don't even know why Grey is credited, cause I don't know what he does, so someone can tell me. 

- Thank you for Good Old Days for dethroning a terrible song. I kinda want this to stay since this is the best song in the top 5 actually. I am also surprised that Let Me Go has not hit #1 yet...

Biggest Drop: TIE between Eminem/Ed Sheeran - River, Camila Cabello - Never Be The Same, & Lauv - I Like Me Better (-5)

Biggest Jump: NF - Let You Down (+8)

New Entrants:

- I'll be honest, Filthy has been fading on me recently partially because of his halftime show. I really like Say Something and I think it is better than Filthy. I do not plan to listen to his recent album, since I might do a review on the Black Panther Album. Say Something will probably do better than Filthy on the Weeknd Countdown, and most likely the Billboard Hot 100. 

- The last song I heard from Troye Sivan was Youth, and I thought it was only decent. This is also decent, but I will say that Youth is better than this. I just have a problem with the "oh my my my!" part. Other than that, I guess it is ok. This is most likely going to fade on me, but I guess I don't care if this is as successful as Youth, Weekend Countdown wise. 

- Finally, we have more AJR... great. These guys honestly should just retire or something that has to do with not making bad music anymore. Their vocals are so bad and the "hello hello" part is really awkward. I do not want to talk about these guys anymore and I don't know who Rivers Cuomo is, but I feel bad for him falling into the AJR bait.


Hitbound:

• Kesha/Dap-Kings Horns - Woman
• Alan Walker/Noah Cyrus/Digital Farm Animals - All Falls Down
• Welshy Arms - Legendary
• Niall Horan - On The Loose (DEBUT)
• Khalid - Young Dumb, & Broke
• Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes 
• Clean Bandit/Julia Michaels - I Miss You 
• Wild Things - Don't Wanna Feel It 
• The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me (DEBUT)
• Spencer - Whatever
• Keala Settle - This Is Me
• Post Malone - I Fall Apart
• Rudimental/Macklemore/Jess Glynne/Dan Caplen - These Days (DEBUT)
• Portugal. The Man - Live In The Moment 

- I got to give it to Niall Horan for actually trying something new, unlike the other One Direction members, but this is actually worse. Just like Love On The Brain, his approach is just not that good. But, I like how he is trying something new. 

- I LOVE THIS SONG! I am so glad that they did not edit Kendrick Lamar out. So far, my favorite song of 2018 and this is partially why I listened to the Plack Panther album. A lot more when it debuts...

- I don't know what to say on These Days other than Dan Caplen's vocals are really good and the drop is cool I guess. 

- So... Sick Boy left. If I'm being honest, The Chainsmokers have been disappointing me. As a big fan of them, I expected more from them. I kind overreacted on Sick Boy. It's good, but not top 10 Chainsmokers song all time. Then they released You Owe Me. Really not that good. Honestly, now that I think about it, I really loved them when they had a collaboration. And I know your going to say, "What about Paris". That was technically a collaboration with Emily Warren, but they did not credit her for some odd reason. All I am trying to say is that if they keep this up, then they will end up like Luis Fonsi, who will never get another hit EVER again.

Top 5:

1. The Weeknd/Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me

2. Khalid - Young Dumb, & Broke

3. Post Malone - I Fall Apart

4. Kesha/Dap-Kings Horns - Woman

5. Imagine Dragons - Whatever It Takes

Blurbs:

- I don't really care about the exits so lets move on...

- Just because ...Ready For It? and Too God At Goodbyes are in blue, that doesn't mean I will not like them again. They are just fading on me and I will eventually grow back into them later on. 

- Now lets talk Meant To Be. I have been really enjoying this song recently. Florida George Line's vocals have been really growing on me, and I like the last part of the song. This song will most likely stay in green unless I put it in dark blue. 

- Our top 10 is perfect except for the top 2 songs. One is fading on me and the other is just flat out terrible and I don't want to see this song hit #1 for the third time. 

- Sorry for the lack of blurbs...

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.

New Entrants (shortened):

- All Time Low haven't made anything amazing in my opinion. This is like Good Times, in terms of my liking. It is decent. I don't know what else to say. My opinion had not changed on The Middle but I am slightly disliking this song whenever I hear Zedd's laziness in this song. But, when Marren Morris comes in, that is saving the song from red. 

Sorry about the lack of blurbs. I really want to get my posts out today.
