#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Panic! At The Disco- High Hopes (1st/8 weeks)

New Entrants
~Our first entrant is One Thought Away. This song I'm very mixed on. It's very good instrumentally and his vocals are not that bad. I don't really know what to say about this song it's just some big space filler. I know this because no one knows about him. He reminds of Alex Aiono when he came with Big Mistake which was really good.

~Next is Mother's Daughter. Now, I haven't been a fan of Miley Cyrus. Party in the USA was overplayed as hell, Wrecking Ball was just bad and We Can't Stop is an abortion of a song. Here the production of the song is okay but I do not like her voice. The "Oh My God" in the song is super annoying and grating and ruins this whole song.

~At #34 is Trampoline by SHAED. Now, this song debuted on my Possibilities list some time ago and it fell off it pretty quickly. Everything is good here, but it's just really bland and the lyrics are simple. The song is very slow for her voice (I don't know her name). So yeah it's good but not the best.

~One spot above Trampoline is Find U Again. This song is really good. I like the production of Mark and the vocals from Camila. The content is really good. So yeah I like a lot about this song.

~One spot above this is Look Away by Stephen Puth. Now the only song people would know about him is probably Sexual Vibe which, impressively, peaked at #15 when it debuted on here. Now, I like the vocals here more than Sexual Vibe but I feel like production is too basic and Sexual Vibe had more of a groove to it. Nevertheless, the song is still really good.

~Finally, coming at #32 is Rescue Me by OneRepublic. I'm actually genuinely surprised this debuted. I like the production on the song but the vocals are lacking something and make the production feel empty. It's a snoozefest at some points and there is really no climax. However, something clicks with me to make it good. Comparing to Counting Stars, this song is nothing.

Blurb Me
~My first thing comes in our Top 3. Why the hell is If We Have Each Other there?! It's not a bad song but it's not that good either. Also, to outpeak to a superior song which is both more statistically and in quality which only peaked at #4. This song should be on its way out now since it took the most random yet aggravating jump of the week. Who cares about 100 Bad Days jumping into the Top 20, that was bound to happen and yet it's worse than this song.

~With You and So Am I took big drops which I'm not surprised. With You has no traction whatsoever on radio and So Am I was just a follow-up remake of the ancestor.

~Seems like Here With Me is on its way out after taking a mild drop out of the Top 20. To be honest, the song is quite bland and is getting annoying.

~We have a lot of re-entries and new entrants to the Top 10. Talk re-enters at #10 in which I'm not surprised since it's such a big radio song. Someone You Loved jumps back in because it's huge on the radio. Señorita and Truth Hurts take jumps into the Top 10. The former was bound to happen but do we really need to latter to be making an attempt for #1? The song isn't even that good. Easier re-enters unsurprisingly because it's 5SOS and #3 we already got to.

~As for droppers from the Top 10, Hey Look Ma, I Made It will probably return sooner or later because P!ATD. Cool dropped out and that's good since it really isn't getting anywhere. Old Town Road, You Need To Calm Down, and bad guy took decent drops out of there. I can see the last two coming back but I don't know about Old Town Road, it's losing a lot on the radio so this is probably it for the song. And So Am I wasn't going to last like said.

~Make You Mine is making nice jumps and I hope it hits high, it's really good and deserves some credit.

~Walk Me Home and Sweet But Psycho both enter the Bottom 2 so this could be their last week on here, they both had interesting runs nevertheless.

~As far as exits go, Summer Days deserved to stay longer since it's really good, mama's house was chart filler and that kind of sucks since it's not that bad. Close To Me and Dancing With A Stanger were both pretty good, but they're both getting pretty annoying. Chlorine probably had the most interesting run here peaking at #11 and having great longevity. Finally, there's Paradise which I forgot about it wasn't bad but Bazzi has done better.

New Trainees
~First is Roaring 20s. The song is amazing, very catchy, great vocals. However, this could fade very quickly for me.

~boyfriend is a great song. Production is nice and I like the vocals. Also, it's pretty catchy too.

~Jesus In LA is good. Decent vocals but I do like the instrumentation on this one.

~Good As Hell is really good. I like the vocals but the production is especially good on this song.

~The Hype is okay I find it quite boring.

~Small Talk is just generic and overall bad, though it could go to blue, I don't know.
