Hits 1 Weekend Countdown, Week of March 2, 2019 The Chainsmokers, Kelsea Ballerini (7)

Well, the only thing I'll say is that Hits 1 and their voters are being little female dogs right now. Anyways, I'm seeing more pageviews on my rankdown, so that's good, hopefully, anyways we got 1 month left, but seeing those pageviews I'm having higher hopes of people doing the rankdown. Anyways, let's get into the 45 for this week.
Dropouts:

• Charli XCX/Troye Sivan- 1999 (#29) [#25]
• Zara Larsson- Ruin My Life (#33) [#20]

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey- The Middle (1/9 weeks) [So it began the 9 weeks of living hell that would follow leaving misery upon all to this day...damn you Hits 1 and you voters who kept it on here for 50 weeks...]

New Entrants
~Our best entrant is I've Been Waiting. Since I had now explained this for the third time here is a summary. Lil Peep is great and is not all that bad, Makonnen sounds generic, but it clicks with me, and Fall Out Boy is amazing and the production is good too.

~Next we have Bad Liar. This song sort of reminds me of Demons, a song who has mixed reviews on my end. The start of it sounds like a boring, sad, rock song. However, when the chorus hits, it's amazing. The vocals from Dan fit the production and the melodies too are great.

Blurbs Been Waiting
~When you know Hits 1 is somewhat based on voters is #4. Let Me Down Slowly makes a big jump to #4 and that's surprising.

~However, voters give us a let down when they let damn This Feeling stick for a 7th week at #1. This better not be #1 for year-end 2019 already.

~Seems like here that they're pushing Tell Me It's Over and Dancing With A  whom both have taken new peaks close to Top 10.

~Surprising but not surprising drops from Youngblood, Natural, and The Last Of The Real Ones. All are old so what can I say.

~Sexual Vibe has no need to drop it's better than the other Puth song on here.

~Good thing Close To Me and Sweet But Psycho are nearing top spot hopefully blocking THis Feeling, Without Me, and Hey Look Ma, I Made It.

~As far as exits go, both were not destined to last. Ruin My Life I thought would shoot higher being the better out of the two. As for 1999, it was a flop, well, you can say both were flops, so yeah. I mean it's a good thing they were on for more than 3 weeks.

New Trainees
~Well, I forgot 'bout last week and by that I Mean 11 Minutes. Everything is good, but it's pretty forgettable and it just doesn't click fully.

~Anyways, let's start off with Sucker. Everything is great. I like the start off with Nick then Joe's pre-chorus hits the spot and then the chorus is really catchy and so is the production. This is a song that gets stuck in your head.

~Next is In Betweenin'. I first heard it and didn't like it that much. After listening to it again I like. Yeah, yeah, I know he reminds you of Alec Benjamin and you'll say "he sounds like a kid". However, I'll say, I don't care. His voice is acceptable and I can handle it. The production really helps too. I really hope this debuts.

~Next is Think About You. LI\ike In Betweenin', at first I didn't like it. Now I do, but not to a great amount. I like everything, but the voice doesn't click with me fully, and that's the only problem. Otherwise, it's a great song.

~Next is Walk Me Home. This is good right now. I've only listened to it once so I can't say all that much. I feel like the verses were underlooked and the chorus could've been more energetic. Anyways, it's a good song, but P!nk has done better.

~Finally, we have Low Key. It's not in green because of Tyga. To be honest, Tyga helping the song with its rhythm and his voice and tempo fit well with the song. Ally's is good, but not the best, and if someone else more talented than her put in that production, would've been better.

~One more thing we lost two great HitBound songs. First was Lost In The Fire. This one was good but seems to be failing everywhere, so this was its final stand. Next, we have Let You Love Me. The song should've been on here longer as it only lasted like a month or something. What also didn't help is that it was released some time ago, but now gets popular, but it couldn't withstand all the other songs, so it didn't make it. Both songs deserved to debut, but they flopped horribly everywhere, so these are song #2 and #3 to drop out of HitBound of 2019.
