New Entrants

Yes I liked Gives You Hell, a song by the All American Rejects from 2008. But nine years later with Sweat in 2017, it is a step down. chorus isn't good and kind of annoying. Gives You Hell had a charming beat and Sweat didn't. Big step backwards for a band I enjoy. Not their best work. Total shame.

I Don't Wanna Lose Your Blurbs Tonight

I only like Body Like A Back Road because it is so bad (also summing up why its in red on here.)

If you notice, Most Girls and Back To You are now in blue. Closer is now turquoise, and No Promises Save Me A Place are now all in red. I just can't enjoy Save Me A Place because I never hear it on. any other station and I think it is just overrated on Hits 1.

Another artist I just can't enjoy is the Chainsmokers because to me, their party music isn't the party music I can enjoy.

Hit-Bound

• PRETTYMUCH - Would You Mind
• Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes
• Sabrina Carpenter - Why
• Zayn featuring Sia - Dusk Till Dawn
• The Script - Rain
• Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso featuring Florida Georgia Line - Let Me Go
• Ed Sheeran - Perfect (DEBUT)
• Why Don't We - Something Different
• Dua Lipa - New Rules (DEBUT)
• Selena Gomez - Fetish
• Evaride - Heartless
• Kelly Clarkson - Love So Soft
• Taylor Swift - ...Ready For It?
• Zedd featuring Liam Payne - Get Low

Shocked to see so much red on Hit-Bound. This means there will probably be a major drop for the overall grade of the weekend countdown in these weeks, depending on who leaves.
Our first debutant- Dua Lipa- New Rules. I love the music video, but I don't think the vocals are great, and the vocals are a step down. That is why the song is red.

I don't understand why Wish I Knew You left. It was old, but it had a good melody and I enjoyed it. Ed Sheeran- Perfect- I don't enjoy it a much as his other songs like Galway Girl, but it is still a good song.
