One More Blurb: 

On My Love debuted at #30, this song is decent EDM song, although it doesn’t have any progression, and is very boring. Don’t really know how to feel about this yet.

Blink-182 is back, and debut at #29 with ONE MORE TIME, this is pretty good, it’s somewhat slow but I still like it. Although I wouldn’t mind if this will have a short run.

Greedy jumped a bit, I saw it coming, but it really didn’t need to happen. This song doesn’t need to be a hit, it’s really boring.

Lose Control grew on me a lot, hope this does really well on the countdown. I’m absolutely loving it right now.

Paint The Town Red jumped 5 spots this week, it’s decent, but it’s not a song radio needs that much, and the lyrics are absolute shit.

Looks like Give Me a Kiss is finally going to leave next week, it dropped 9 spots this week. It has been on the countdown WAY too long.

Can Barbie World just leave? It doesn’t need to be here, Nicki Minaj is shit in this song, Ice Spice is always shit, this song is shit. Everything about this song is shit.

I can’t hear anything that makes Speed Drive that enjoyable, it’s catchy just because it’s fast. The lyrics are pretty bad, and Charlie XCX doesn’t sound that good in this song. I don’t mind it jumping because it’s like 2 minutes, but if this hits top 10, I will start minding.

Oh no! Dial Drunk fell 2 spots, hopefully this rebounds next week, it deserves to reach a much higher peak.

Sugar Mommy and Last Time I Saw You both jumped 4 spots, hopefully they both keep climbing, I’m loving both of them.

vampire fell 5 spots, I don’t really mind, it was played quite a bit on radio, I don’t care if I won’t hear it anymore.

Dance The Night also fell 5 spots, hopefully this can leave the countdown very soon.

bad idea right? jumped 7 spots, it’s good, but not good enough to deserve #6, Enough Is Enough is much better, that should’ve been #6.

Summer Baby is now in the top 5, I’m getting really tired of this song, it’s been on the countdown for almost 20 weeks! I’ve never really liked it that much, but now I like it even less.

Used To Be Young is #3 now, hopefully this reaches #1 after What It Is gets a week or two in the top spot, but now I don’t know if that’s likely.

Please can What It Is hit #1 next week! We don’t need Cruel Summer #1 again! What It Is is so much better!
