Imagine Dragons (2)Week Of November 25, 2017

Hello, guys! Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and I hope enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Anyway, after the thrill that was last week, we have taken a bit of a step back this week.

New Entrants

We have a new worst song on the countdown. Rockstar sucks.

Wolves is great. HUGE step up from Fetish. I'm not a techno-pop or EDM fan, but this one is just very special.

I've Been Blurbing With The Wolves To Get To You

I'm getting more interested in Glorious, despite it's getting old. However, not enough for me to put it in blue.
