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!

1. Let Her Go- Passenger
