New Entrants
We got rid of three old songs and replaced them with good ones, which is nice. Let's go from worst to best. First, we have Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry. Now I swear, this was so close to my Top 5 Favorite on the countdown. I love how the pre-chorus really gets you pumped up. The chorus is really
loud and gets you pumped up too, sorta like Paramore - Hard Times. The verses are kinda boring, but all in all, this is a great song that I hope does well.

Second, we have Kesha - Praying. We haven't really seen any music from Kesha in a while, and I know why, but I think you all know, so it would be no use to write it down in this post. The chorus is very powerful in this song, which is what kind of music I really like. The verses are good too, but nowhere near the chorus. I love the meaning behind this song too. It's about how Kesha wants peace from Dr. Luke or something like that. Either way, this is a song that should also have success.

The best debut this week comes from The Chainsmokers, who seem to have replaced themselves. In case you don't know what that is, that means one song from them left (Paris as an example), but in return, one of their songs debut, which is Honest in this case. I love the production in this song, and I can see why the chorus can be bad. The "I'm being honest" part is kinda generic, you are right, the horn alarm sounding thing can be pretty annoying too, but I personally really like the chorus in this song. I really have no idea what Andrew Taggart is talking about in the chorus, singing about in this regard. I don't think this tops Something Just Like This, but it does top Paris by a long shot and I would like to see some success out of this song.

I Want Something Just Like Blurbs
- For our exits, I don't care about either of the Top 2. Sooner or Later and Paris were both fading on me, do I don't care about those two. But it is about that time Don't Wanna Know left the countdown! Good riddance! You won't be missed by me at the slightest bit!

- Now or Never and The Cure both took sizable drops out of the Top 10 this week. The former is fading on me, and the latter is just bad, so I am happy about that.

- If Closer stays for ONE more week, I am willing to slap myself.

- I swear, One More Light better not get in the Top 10.

- And somehow, Body Like A Back Road is still going strong. I don't get it, out of all the country songs, this one had to become popular. Please get out of the Top 20 as soon as possible.

- Okay, why the heck is Starving still here?! Just get the **** out! What makes people still vote for this crap?

- Instead of One More Light, let's get Most Girls in the Top 10! This song actually has a sweet meaning behind it. I mean, One More Light wasn't a terrible choice for a Chester Bennington tribute. But I would have preferred Talking to Myself instead.

- I am not even gonna comment on the fact that Weak somehow jumped. Please get out before I put you in turquoise.

- Woohoo! We may all rejoice as Issues dropped all the way to #39!!! Now let's get this cracked song outta here!

- And somehow, Despacito made a jump into the Top 3. I mean, not bad. But it's ham and jelly in the Billboard Hot 100, we don't need that here.

- Goodbye!!!
