December 30, 2016 - Hailee Steinfeld + Grey + Zedd (3)

So yeah, this countdown came up on very short notice, as it randomly aired on the Friday before New Year's Eve. Then they spent a lot of New Year's Eve playing the final Top 45 countdown. Anyway, Kid Kelly hosted this countdown. Not really a lot to say about a countdown on New Year's Eve, as you generally don't expect a lot of activity from those. There are no songs leaving us this week, so let’s go.
