Weekend Countdown March 8-9, 2014!

As you guys know I don't post the countdown, I just give my overall thoughts. This week we are saying goodbye 5 songs! All of them needed to go but one (Brave- Sara Bareilles). Here are the songs that left this week!

• Applause- Lady Gaga
• Brave- Sara Bareilles
• I Need Your Love- Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding
• Love Me Again- John Newman
• Chocolate- The 1975

Debuts:

• This Is What It Feels Like- Armin van Buuren ft. Trevor Guthrie
• Yeah, I know this isn't a debut, its back on the countdown for a 3rd time! I hate re-entries! Go away Armin van Buuren! 

• Pumping Blood- NONONO
• I really enjoy this song. It was on Hit-Bound for what seems like a year but I'm still really happy it debuted!

• Animals- Martin Garrix
• This is one of the BEST dance tracks I have ever heard! Even though it lacks words for the most part, I don't really mind! I hope Animals is around for a LONG time!

• Find You- Zedd ft. Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant
• This is a pretty good song! There is nothing not to like about it. Zedd is a great DJ, and Matthew Koma & Miriam Bryant both have really good vocals!

• I Want It All- Karmin
• You can never go wrong with Karmin! I absolutely LOVE this song! This song was produced by Pitch Perfect star Ester Dean! I love the 80's feel to it! I Want It All is up there with Acapella and Brokenhearted as one of their best!

Song Review for Debuts in February & March.

Hey guys! Since I haven't reviewed debuts on the Weekend Countdown since the beginning of February, here they are. (Hint: I like all of them!)

• Take Me Home- Cash Cash ft. Bebe Rexha
• I really enjoy this song! Bebe Rexha has really good vocals! I hope to hear more from her in the future.

• Talk Dirty- Jason Derulo
• Unfortunately Hits-1 cuts 2 Chainz from the song, but I still love the Hits-1 version. The instruments are great! This is a song Jason Derulo needed! With The Other Side being boring, and Marry Me not getting very popular, Talk Dirty puts Jason Derulo back on the map.

• Replay- Zendaya
• Replay is a great song! I hope it sticks around for a long time!

• Best Day of My Life- American Authors
• I didn't like this song. I thought it was too much like It's Time- Imagine Dragons and Ho Hey- The Lumineers, but it has really grown on me. When I have my music on shuffle I always get this song and On Top of The World- Imagine Dragons mixed up. I still thoroughly enjoy the song!

• Neon Lights- Demi Lovato
•  I love this song too! I have always been a Demi Lovato fan and this song does not disappoint. I rank it up there with Heart Attack as one of her best!

• Hey Brother- Avicii ft. Dan Tyminski
• I probably sound like a broken record right now, but I love this song! Its different than any song out right now. Avicii is a great DJ! Dan Tyminski plays a great part too!

• The Man- Aloe Blacc
• Aloe Blacc is THE MAN! I love the tone of his voice and his country/R&B sound! Perfect for mainstream right now!

• Headlights- Eminem ft. Nate Ruess
• Honestly, compared to The Monster this song is not very good. That being said, I really enjoy this song! This song I would assume is very personal to Eminem. Nate Ruess plays a great part.

• Can't Remember To Forget You- Shakira ft. Rihanna 
• I am not usually a big Shakira or Rihanna fan, but I love this song. It is a ton of fun.

I'm Back! Hits-1 Recommendations!

Sorry to everyone who has been following this blog! I lost touch a little bit with it but I'm BACK! Expect Hits-1 updates often. So in the meantime I will review all the songs that have debuted on the Weekend Countdown since the beginning of February! Before I do that here are some songs that are not currently played on Hits-1 that I would like to see be played soon!

• Mmm Yeah- Austin Mahone ft. Pitbull
• This song is AMAZING! It has an amazing beat & fun lyrics! These two make a really good pair too!

• Human- Christina Perri
• This song has really good lyrics and is inspirational. Christina Perri's vocals are great as usual too!

• Hold On- Colbie Caillat
• Colbie Caillat is great on the track, but whats new!

• Let It Go- Demi Lovato
• With Frozen being released soon, and Idina Menzel's version not being as radio-friendly, I would love and not be suprised if this song got airplay. (Unless Neon Lights would get less, then nevermind!)

• I See Fire- Ed Sheeran
• I love this song. I'm not sure how radio-friendly it is, but its a great song. Its also on The Hobbit: Desolation of Smog!

• Expired Lover- Emily Kinney
• Most people know Emily Kinney as Beth Greene on The Walking Dead, who sings every now and then. Well her music is pretty good. With Sunday nights episode focusing mostly on her and Norman Reedus's character Daryl Dixon, hopefully it will boost her musics popularity!

• Better Together- Fifth Harmony
• Fifth Harmony is a better girl group than Little Mix, Haim, & Serebro who are all played on Hits 1.

• Invisible- Hunter Hayes
• Just because its by Hunter Hayes it should automatically played everywhere. It helps that this song attacks bullying!

• All of Me- John Legend
• This song is just flat out amazing! It it #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. I was expecting it to be on Hit-Bound last weekend, but I bet it is this weekend.

• Show Me- Kid Ink ft. Chris Brown
• This song is extremely catchy! Its on the American Top 40 chart, so I hope that means Hits-1 will play it soon.

• Glory & Gore- Lorde
• If you don't know already I am a HUGE Lorde fan. This song is not a disappointment. Its climbing Billboard and iTunes right now. Hits-1 likes Lorde so I'm sure it will be played soon!

• Lucky Strike- Maroon 5
• I'm expecting Adam Levine to perform this song on The Voice sometime in the next few weeks like all the coaches so to release new music (ex. Say Something- A Great Big World/Christina Aguilera). I love this song. One of their best!

• She Keeps Me Warm- Mary Lambert
• If you couldn't tell from the title, this song is a sequel to Same Love- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Mary Lambert. Mary Lambert is a great vocalist! I love when artists sing about great causes!

• Midnight Memories- One Direction
• I've been expecting this song to be on Hits-1 for a while. This song is a lot of fun.

Recomendations for the Hits 1

• Mmm Yeah- Austin Mahone ft. Pitbull

This song is AMAZING! It has catchy beats & fun lyrics! It is what Hits 1 needs!

• Waiting For Superman- Daughtry

Daughtry can SING! I love this song!

• Let It Go- Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato has quite the voice! I feel like this song would do really well due to the recent success of the Frozen soundtrack.

• I See Fire- Ed Sheeran

I love the vocals in this song!

• 3000 Miles- Emblem3

Emblem3 is just a great band that needs another song on Hits 1  after Chloe!

• Better Together- Fifth Harmony

I love this group of gals are amazing! Better Together has great energy that would do really well on the Hits 1!

• Invisible- Hunter Hayes

You can never go wrong with Hunter Hayes. I love the message in this song!

• Adore You- Miley Cyrus

Not as good as Wrecking Ball, but still a good song.

• Midnight Memories- One Direction

It's One Direction. Obviously it will debut soon, but sooner the better!

• Can't Remember To Forget You- Shakira ft. Rihanna

This song is surprisingly a lot of fun! I would love to see it on Hits 1!

45. This Is What It Feels Like- Armin van Buuren ft. Trevor Guthrie

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

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

• 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

• The Wire- Haim

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:

Now for the list:

Remember Yellow means I love the song, blue means I like it, and red means I don't like it.

45. Same Love- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Mary Lambert
Comments: I absolutely LOVE this song! I think it should've been higher. The message behind this song is amazing! When a straight man like Macklemore makes a song like this for people like my sister it just makes that much more powerful! I placed this song at #9 on my countdown, but I personally put it in my top 5 for the year!
44. Sail- Awolnation
Comments: I hated this song at first, but grew on me pretty quickly! I put this song at #63 for the year.
43. Dance With Me Tonight- Olly Murs
Comments: Very good song from The X Factor UK alum, but is getting overplayed like crazy. Hits 1 is the only place I have ever seen this song.
42. The Other Side- Jason Derulo
Comments: An okay song, but not my personal cup of tea. I placed this song at #58 for the year.
41. Alone Together- Fall Out Boy
Comments: A good song that I enjoy for the most part. I'm just over it after it got #1 on the countdown out of nowhere. I placed this song at #81 for the year.
40. Closer- Tegan & Sara
Comments: One of the worst songs of the year! Absolutely HATE it!
39. Beneath Your Beautiful- Labrinth ft. Emeli Sande
Comments: Labrinth is the only artist signed to Simon Cowell's Syco Record label that did not appear on a reality TV show. I love this song! This song was on Hit- Bound then disappeared until the summer and I'm really glad it did. A beautiful song! I placed it at #48 for the year.
38. Here's To Never Growing Up- Avril Lavigne
Comments: I enjoy this song while it lasted. It's a good song to play when you're jamming out with your friends. Looking back on it, it should have made my top 100.
37. Feel This Moment- Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera
Comments: One of Pitbull's best songs and definitely one of my favorites of the year. I placed it at #22 for the year.
36. When I Was Your Man- Bruno Mars
Comment: This is my favorite, and one of only two (Gorilla), song off of Unorthodox Jukebox. It really shows how amazing his voice is! I placed this song at #13 for the year.
35. Royals- Lorde
Comments: I can't believe this song is so low on this countdown. I first heard this song months before it got popular when my sister came home from Lithuania and I fell in love. The lyrics are amazing! I placed this song at #3 for the year. This song was also nominated for the Grammy for Record of The Year!
34. 22- Taylor Swift
Comments: I'll admit it, I'm a huge T-Swizzle fan. This song definitely does not disappoint. Great song. I paced this song at #90 for the year.
33.  Wings- Little Mix
Comments: A fun song from the 1st group to win The X Factor UK. I placed this song at #95 for the year.
32. Treasure- Bruno Mars
Comments: I am not a fan of this song. I placed this song at #56 for the year.
31. Get Lucky- Daft Punk ft. Pharrell
Comments: I thought this song was very good! Daft Punk are kind of the founders of EDM. This song should be higher. Pharrell's vocals are simply stunning. I placed this song at #29 for the year.
30. Cups- Anna Kendrick
Comments: This song should've won the Unexpected Hit of 2013 on Hits 1 because it certainly was. My younger sister was absolutely in love with this song all Summer. She (along with everyone else in the world) learned the infamous Cup song from Pitch Perfect (great movie BTW). I placed this song at #35 for the year.
29. Try- Pink
Comments: Pink is never a disappointment. Very good song. I placed it at #71 for the year.
28. Classic- MKTO
Comments: I was obsessed with this song for a while this summer. It is very catchy and Classic! I put it at #49 for the year.
27. Come & Get It- Selena Gomez
Comments: Selena's best song yet! I really love this song and still listen to it just to jam the f**k out! Its that catchy! I placed it at #16 for the year.
26. Applause- Lady Gaga
Comments: One of her worst works. I thought it alright, but now I honestly can't stand it. Her new song Do What U Want ft. R. Kelly is a very different story. I placed it at #50 for the year.
25. Carry On- Fun.
Comments: Fun. is one of my personal favorite artists. This song is very amazing. Fun. needs another hit! I placed this song at #12 for the year.
24. Chocolate- The 1975
Comments: Hits 1 is the only place I have ever seen this song. Its pretty good, not my favorite, but good nonetheless. It did overstay its welcome on the countdown though.
23. C'Mon- Ke$ha
Comments: I have always loves Ke$ha. This song is very fun and energetic. It was one of my favs. I placed it at #54 for the year.
22. Heart Attack- Demi Lovato
Comments: Demi Lovato is one of my favorite artists. This song was my jam for a very long time. Right now I love Neon Lights which is currently on Hit-Bound but should debut this week because it has been getting a huge amount of airtime. I placed this song at #11 for the year.
21. Hall of Fame- The Script ft. Will.I.Am
Comments: Very amazing and inspirational. I never though in a million years that these two would pair up, but man did it turn out really well! I placed this song at #64 for the year.
20. I Need Your Love- Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding
Comments: Awful, horrible, gut wrenching! One of the worst songs of the year. Its right up there with Closer by Tegan & Sara. It somehow is still on the countdown. I placed it at #59 for the year, it really is dead last.
19. I Knew You Were Trouble- Taylor Swift
Comments: Taylor Swift getting away from country completely was a very bold move on her part. This song was frickin' amazing though! We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is the only song of hers that is better! Great job T-Swizzle. I placed this song at #6 for the year.
18. Wake Me Up- Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc
Comments: LOVE! The first time I heard this song I was really scared because the last time I heard Aloe Blacc was with I Need A Dollar, and that was a trainwreck! He has redeemed himself. Who knew country and EDM would work?! I placed this song at #30 for the year.
17. Still Into You- Paramore
Comments: A very good song. Paramore finally came back. I liked The Only Exception better though. But please you are overplayed on Hits 1, go away. I placed it at #47 for the year.
16. Daylight- Maroon 5
Comments: One of my personal favorites for the year. The music is very inspiring! Adam Levine's vocals are amazing too! I placed it at #21 for the year.
15. I Love It- Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX
Comments: Wow. Just wow. I was kind of confused when I first heard it. When my friends come over and jam out, this song is always on the playlist. I just love this song. I placed it at #25 for the year.
14. Hung Up- Hot Chelle Rae
Comments: No. Just no. This song was good for a week or so, but I really can't stand it. The fact its #14 is just BS! It has mediocre lyrics too! I did not place this song in the Top 100 of the year.
13. Roar- Katy Perry
Comments: One of my favorite jams of the year. The lyrics are pretty good, as long with the beat. Usually I can just tolerate Katy Perry, but so far the singles off of Prism have been pretty amazing. I placed this song at #17 for the year.
12. Cruise- Florida Georgia Line
Comments: The country version that is played on Hits 1 is alright, but the fact that they played the country version and not the remix with Nelly that was accually the popular version makes no sense to me. I really love the remixed version! I placed this song at #14 for the year.
11. Love Somebody- Maroon 5
Comments: Again, Adam Levine is amazing. They haven't had a weak song since Moves Like Jagger. I love the music video for this song. I placed this song at #28 for the year.
10. Die Young- Ke$ha
Comments: Great song. Ke$ha is always spot on. The beat in this song really catches your attention. I placed this song at #39 for the year.
9. Just Give Me A Reason- Pink ft. Nate Ruess
Comments: This song is beautiful. Pink & Nate's voices are perfect compliments of each other. It's catchy, and just amazing. I placed it at #8 for the year.
8. Safe & Sound- Capital Cities
Comments: I do not like this song. I don't know why I don't like it, I just don't. I placed it at #60 for the year.
7. Blurred Lines- Robin Thicke ft. T.I. & Pharrell
Comments: WHAT! Beware! About to rant! Ok, This was the fricking song of the summer, and deservedly so! This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I was sooooo mad when it didn't get #1 on the countdown because of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. There was only one song this year better than it! This song is very different, that's part of the reason I love it soooo much! I placed it at #2 for the year.
6. Clarity- Zedd ft. Foxes
Comments: I really love this song! It's placed too high though. It was not the 6th best song of 2013. Foxes has a beautiful voice. I placed this song at #24 for the year.
5. Can't Hold Us- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton
Comments: Words can't describe how much I love Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. This song is absolutely amazing. The instrumental of this song is very amazing. I really love the part when it sounds like a Native American song. I placed this song at #4 for the year.
4. Troublemaker- Olly Murs ft. Flo Rida
Comments: I really love this song. I think it's placed too high though. I hate how Hits 1 cuts out Flo Rida too, it hurts the song. This song is great. I jam out to this song a lot! I placed it at #19 for the year.
3. Thrift Shop- Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft.Wanz
Comments: Like I said earlier, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are my guys! This was their debut single, even though technically Same Love & Can't Hold Us are both older. Who could have guessed that a song about popping tags at the Thrift Shop would be so popular. This is defiantly the best song of the year! You know what this is f**king awesome! Haha! I obviously placed this song at #1 for the year (as did Billboard).
2. Radioactive- Imagine Dragons
Comments: Holy God do I love this song! I was reluctant to listen to this song originally because I was not a huge fan of It's Time. To this day I don't understand why they chose that song to be their debut when Radioactive & Demons were obviously a whole hell of a lot better. I put this song at #5 for the year.
1. My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark- Fall Out Boy
Comment: Someone shoot me now! This song debuted on the countdown in February, was #1 in April, and just recently fell back to the 30s. This song never got to the top 10 on Billboard, and it shouldn't have. This is a good song, but not #1 of the year material. I would be perfectly OK if I never heard it again. I placed it at #33 for the year.

Review:

This week we got 1 re-entry and 3 debuts. Unfortunately Unconditionally- Katy Perry & Harlem- New Politics dropped out this week. Also Safe & Sound- Capital Cities re-entered the countdown when it was most unwelcome, but don't expect it to stick around much longer, maybe a week or 2 if we're lucky. Now for the debuts. Two of the debuts are very VERY welcome, they are Dark Horse- Katy Perry ft. Juicy J & Say Something- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera. Dark Horse is very different for Katy Perry and for the countdown! I expect great things from this song! Next Alex & Sierra's X Factor winning song Say Something- A Great Big World ft. Christina Aguilera! I have been waiting for weeks for this song to debut! The song has great vocals and is very current! I also expect big BIG things from this song! Last and definitely least Young Girls- Bruno Mars. This is Bruno Mars his absolute WORST! With Bruno preforming at the Super Bowl half-time show in February I expected his next single to blow us away, but it makes me wanna run away and cry!!!

Other notes :

-- Classic- MKTO has managed to descend back into the top 10. This would've been OK when Acapella- Karmin & Bruises- Train ft. Ashley Monroe were still on the countdown, and that was months ago. Is this song getting Fall Out Boy syndrome?

-- Speaking of Fall Out Boy, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark might possibly be showing signs of falling out! I might have to have a party when that finally happens! But don't get your hopes up, it is the Sirius Xm Hits 1 Weekend Countdown.

--Let Her Go- Passenger is at #14 in its 2nd week in the countdown!

-- On Tuesday Spyder Harrison will be counting down the Top 45 Songs of 2013! Also Kelly Clarkson will be airing her Fav 15 of 2013 so be sure to tune in!

-- Replay- Zendaya FINALLY debuted on Hit-Bound this week! I really hope it along with 6 other Hit-Bound songs debut on the countdown!
