So this will be a condensed post since there wasn't much going on at all and this post is already late as is. As many others have said, there really wasn't a lot to this week, but at least we have an interesting new #1, which I'm happy to take. Aside from that, there's not really a lot that happened for me to really discuss. I didn't even listen to the full countdown, so you can tell that I'm behind in getting this out. There are no songs leaving us this week, so let’s go.

Favorite Countdown Song This Week One Year Ago: I Took A Pill In Ibiza by Mike Posner
Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago: None. Also, this is the third year in a row where the first countdown in May has had no exits.
QOTD: With the album and video having dropped, do you think Sign of The Times will stick around and become a real hit? I may have said before, but I predict it'll end up more in the vein that Drag Me Down did in 2015 in debuting high but then going erratic from there.
Thanks for reading, everybody!
Nice post, Scott!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree that is the third year in a row that the first week of May has no exits or entrants because it happened on May 2,2015 May 7, 2016 and this year last week on May 6, 2017
ReplyDeleteHi Alondra Lopez, it's me Chasetronaut.
Delete#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: Jidenna - Bambi
ReplyDeleteNo.
Delete#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Nav - Myself
Please stop Parker, that song is ugly right now, unless it gets popular.
DeleteYou stop. Myself IS popular, because it's in Rap Caviar and it's getting spins on my local hip hop station.
DeleteI know I said this last post but I'll say it again if you are interested:
ReplyDeleteI suggest you should vote for my 2016 Hits 1 Year-End List rankdown. If you don't want to vote, it's up to you. But if you've participated in a Song Wars before, you'll like this too. It would be more fun if there were more votes, so I suggest you vote if you want. I currently have 7 votes, including myself. The form closes in 4 days, and here is the link:

If you need a little more time, you can tell me and I'll give you more time. And also, off-topic, but lol at the post on Pulse Music Boards where you mentioned Parker's real name and everyone was like "Who the heck is Parker?" :P
I did see that, but I've been occupied with quite a bit so I haven't gotten around to checking that out.
DeleteAnd yeah that did catch my attention that people didn't know who Parker was :P
Just pushed the deadline for submitting to next Tuesday, which is 2 days later, and 5 days from today. So if you would like to vote you have 2 extra days.
Delete#1 Recommendation for Hits 1: Bruno Mars - Versace on the Floor
ReplyDeleteBring back Versace on the Floor please!!!
Wait until it's a single, then it's a better time to recommend it.
