New Entrants:
This week we unfortunately got 2 out of 3 bad debut, but lets go from good to bad. First up is Happy- Pharrell!!! I LOVE this song! It is such a feel-good song (unlike Feel Good- Goldhouse! haha). I expect this song to do very well due to the recent success of Blurred Lines- Robin Thicke ft. T.I. 7 Pharrell & Get Lucky- Daft Punk ft. Pharrell.

Next is Old School Love- Lupe Fiasco ft. Ed Sheeran. This song isn't the worst song I have ever heard, that would be Wax- Rosana, Mi Mi Mi- Serebro, & I'm Ready- AJR (which we'll get too in a second). I usually love anything that comes out of Ed Sheeran's mouth, but this is definitely the exception!

Last, and certainly least is I'm Ready- AJR. Why does Hits 1 do this to us?!?! First Rosana- Wax & Mi Mi Mi- Serebro, now this! SpongeBob Squarepants does NOT belong on the radio! The song is pretty catchy right up to the "I'm ready" part.

Other notes:

Still waiting for Neon Lights- Demi Lovato, Replay- Zendaya, Hey Brother- Avicii ft. Dan Tyminski, & Dance Apocalptic- Janelle Monae to debut.

Karmin, Chris Wallace, & Aloe Blacc all debuted new Hit-Bound songs this week, all of which are very acceptable!

I am not very happy that Dance With Me Tonight- Olly Murs & Alone Together- Fall Out Boy are back in the top 5.

I was very surprised to hear This Is What It Feels Like- Armin van Buuren ft. Trevor Guthrie first this week. I don't really want it to go, but it might be time. But remember I also said that about Miss Jackson- Panic! At The Disco ft. Lolo a few weeks ago and now its #20, so you never know.

Why did Let Her Go- Passenger fall back to #9...its supposed to be #1!

Top 10 Picks:

1. Let Her Go- Passenger
2. Timber- Pitbull ft. Ke$ha
3. Dark Horse- Katy Perry ft. Juicy J
4. Team- Lorde
5. Counting Stars- One Republic
6. Do What U Want- Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly
7. Pompeii- Bastille
8. Drink You Away- Justin Timberlake
9. The Monster- Eminem ft. Rihanna
10. Say Something- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

Entrants Review:

So lets start out with XO-Beyoncé. At first I absolutely hated the song, but It has grown on me a little bit. While I was color coding the top I really debated weather it was blue or red. Honestly though I do not see this song catching on.

Next, Goodbye- Glenn Morrison. I like this song. I was really surprised it debuted over some other songs still on Hit-Bound though. I think this song will be around for a while.

We FINALLY got the debut of The Wire- Haim! I have been waiting a long time for this song to debut! The reason I love this song so much is because it is not a typical hit song. I hope its around for a long time!

Pompeii- Bastille is one of my favorite songs right now! I was stocked when I heard it debut!

Even though I love The Wire & Pompeii, the best debut of the week it Team- Lorde! If you follow my blog then you know I am a huge Lorde fan!

The last, and certainly least debut this week was Feel Good- Goldhouse! I really can't stand this song!

Other Notes:

• I was not expecting that Miss Jackson- Panic! At The Disco ft. Lolo was going to jump from #44 to #18, but I'm not complaining!
• I really don't understand why Neon Lights- Demi Lovato & Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus didn't debut this week even though they both have had massive air time lately.
• Let Her Go- Passenger is in the top 5! It better get #1 soon!
• I am really happy to see My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark- Fall Out Boy at #43!
• Say Something- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera finally made a jump to the middle of the countdown!
• I would really like to see Drink You Away- Justin Timberlake, Do What U Want- Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly & Dark Horse- Katy Perry ft. Juicy J make it to the top 10 soon! They all three deserve it!
• I'm upset that What Now- Rihanna dropped out! It isn't too often I like a Rihanna song, so when I do it needs to stick around longer than a few weeks!
• Burn- Ellie Goulding is finally in the top 10!

Top 10 Picks:

1. Timber- Pitbull ft. Ke$ha
2. Let Her Go- Passneger
3. Do What U Want- Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly
4. Dark Horse- Katy Perry ft. Juicy J
5. Drink You Away- Justin Timberlake
6. Counting Stars- One Republic
7. Team- Lorde
8. Demons- Imagine Dragons
9. The Monster- Eminem ft. Rihanna
10. Say Something- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera

Mid-Week Update

Hey guys! This is a new thing I might stick with.

So listening to Hits 1 this week I have noticed a lot of new music and Hit-Bound playing. Heres a list of some of the songs.

• Happy- Pharrell
• Team- Lorde
• The Man- Aloe Blacc
• Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus (yes, I really did hear this song! Hits 1 is a tad bit behind but whatever I love this song!)
• Dare You- Hardwell ft. Matthew Koma
• Neon Lights- Demi Lovato
• Pompeii- Bastille
• I'm Ready- AJR (Hopefully this song doesn't catch on!)
• The Wire- Haim
• Replay- Zendaya
• Dance Apocalyptic- Janelle Monae

These are just songs I've heard a lot of on Hits 1 lately. I really hope this means the 2-week hiatus of no debuts on the Weekend Countdown will be coming to an end shortly!

Notes:

• This week I got a new Whatuwant Crew survey and it included a lot of Hit-Bound songs (and strangely enough Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus???) I really hope this means there will be a bunch of new debuts next week! 
• I bought the albums The Heist- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Pure Heroine- Lorde a few days ago! They were both good albums, but The Heist really blew me away! Macklemore expresses his opinions on issues and different struggles he has gone through (Same Love, Starting Over, A Wake), plus a bunch of just fun songs (Thrift Shop, Jimmy Iovine, Wing$), and even a country song called Cowboy Boots! Any song chosen as the next single will be popular no matter what!
• Am I seeing a potential #1 from Let Her Go- Passenger??? I sure hope so!
• When introducing Mi Mi Mi- Serebro, Spyder Harrison said "the song that drives me CRAZY!" I hope to see it's demise soon!
• Team- Lorde, Neon Lights- Demi Lovato, Replay- Zendaya, Dance Apocalyptic- Janelle Monae The Wire- Haim, Pompeii- Bastille, Thinking About You- Calvin Harris ft. Ayah Marar, & Pumping Blood- NONONO from Hit-Bound would all be good debut choices! Anything but XO- Beyonce & I'm Ready- TJR and I will be a happy camper!
• I will be doing my top 10 choices from now on.

Top 10 Choices: 

1. Timber- Pitbull ft. Ke$ha
2. Let Her Go- Passenger
3. Dark Horse- Katy Perry ft. Juicy J
4. Counting Stars- One Republic
5. Demons- Imagine Dragons
6. Drink You Away- Justin Timberlake
7. The Monster- Eminem ft. Rihanna
8. Do What U Want- Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly
