Good to see Mikey Piff hosting Hitbound again. 7 debutants is a lot to handle. Since all the good songs went to the 45, our new debutants feel for the most part more disappointing to me.

Taylor Swift- Ready For It- The audio is annoying, not her best work, it just doesn't work out for me as much as I was hoping.  Look What You Made You Do also wasn't her best work, but she to me worked harder on Look What You Made Me Do. I enjoyed Look What You Made Me Do more. Ready For It is just boring to me. I can't get into it. The rapping miserably failed( it failed in Look What You Made Me Do, but the fail went nice with a good beat on Look What You Made Me Do. Ready For It, the exact opposite.)

The Script- Nice comeback single. Something I can get into.

Zayn/Sia- Dusk Till Dawn- Just Boring- I enjoyed his other songs more.

Hailee Steinfeld/Alesso/Florida Georgia Line- Hailee's vocals are good. But the country duo's are not.

Kelly Clarkson- Love So Soft- Not even close to her best work. I love the energy, but I just miss her soft voice form songs from 2K like Because of You and A Moment Like This, or newer like Pice by Piece. I liked her other energetic songs like Heartbeat Song, Since U Been Gone, Stronger better. Don't be surprised if this goes in red soon.

My Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
1. The Revivalists-Wish I Knew You
2. The Script- Rain
3. Zayn/Sia- Dusk Till Dawn
4. Sam Smith-Too Good At Goodbyes
5. Zedd/Liam Payne- Get Low
