#1 Song This Week One Year Ago- 5 Seconds Of Summer- Youngblood (2nd/5 weeks)

New Entrants~First up is Shameless. This song is quite disappointing from Camila. The song is a huge snoozefest and there's nothing good. I mean I've listened to it a few times but nothing has changed for me.

~Next up is The Hype. Again, this song is better than Shameless, but that isn't saying much. The vocals are good, but everything else is lacking. I feel like if TØP made that beat a bit more energetic than all would be good with me. Sure, it's better than the previous ones, Chlorine and My Blood, but that also isn't saying much.

~Finally at #31, we have Liar. Surprisingly, both Camila landed this week and that's good and bad. This song I really like. I love the vocals, the production is great and has a nice vibe. And when you compare the lyrical content, this has way more flow and effort than Shameless. Therefore, this song trumps Shameless by a longshot and I hope it does well because it's good.

Blurbless

~Let's start off with our new #1, Easier. Honestly, I'm quite surprised it made it there especially up 8 spots. In all reality, it already peaked on radio a long time ago and same goes for #2, You Need To Calm Down which I genuinely don't want to go to #1, but it's probably bound to happen.

~If I Can't Have You falls hard to #6 especially off #1, but I think it'll rebound.

~Senorita jumps to #3 which is nice because it's good and is on top of pop radio.

~Goodbyes finally makes it into the Top 10 and it should keep going, it's amazing.

~Never Really Over drops hard to #32. To be honest, this was a huge flop so I'm not surprised.

~Besides that, Let Me Down Slowly enters the Bottom 5 and This Feeling should be gone next week.

~As far as exits go, One Thought Away and 100 Bad Days were chart fillers and to be honest they were growing a bit on me. Then there is Speechless which had an impressive run on the chart, peaked at #9. So yeah all these were meh and growing to good.

New Trainees

~First up is Dear Future Self. I like the production and the voices of Fall Out Boy. Wyclef brings down the song a bit but it's still good.

~Graveyard is an uncalled shift of mood for Halsey compared to her others one. This one is okay but this is off of first listen.

~Mother is by far better than I Warned Myself. The production is way better and vocals are a bit better too, but again this is off first listen.
