Iggy Azalea (1) – Week Of August 2, 2014

Hey guys! Not very good timing for the #1 song to hit #1. When I was on Google Images to get a photo of our #1 artist, I tried searching Iggy Azalea and the second option was "Iggy Azalea booty". #awkward. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Imagine Dragons – On Top Of The World (–23)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: The Madden Brothers – We Are Done (+18)

New Entrants
~ Kalin and Myles – Love Robbery is catchy. But I think the rap verses could've been a little better. The chorus is really good though.

~ It's such a struggle deciding the better Ariana Grande song between Problem and Break Free. With the help of Zedd, Break Free is a really catchy song. And Ariana's vocals are just beyond excellent.

~ Ed Sheeran – Don't is by far Ed Sheeran's best. Don't get me wrong. I loved Lego House and The A Team. But I just found this one more catchy*. We'll see how far it gets by the time I get sick of it.

*I know. I use that word a lot.
Hit-Bound
~ Hits 1 decided to put Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando on Hit-Bound to make me happy. Thanks guys! :D

~ I know Lance Warren is happy that Becky G – Shower debuted on Hit-Bound.

~ We got two more good entrants to Hit-Bound from The Vamps/Demi Lovato – Somebody To You and Rixton – Wait On Me.

~ Of course there's a Katy Perry song on Hit-Bound.

~ I'm surprised Pitbull/John Ryan – Fireball isn't on Hit-Bound because it got a decent amount of airplay this week.

Top 5 Hit-Bound
1. Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando
2. The Vamps/Demi Lovato – Somebody To You
3. Jesse McCartney – Superbad
4. Brantley Gilbert – Bottoms Up
5. Rixton – Wait On Me

It's A Blurb Robbery
~ Yes. It's still here. (Yuck).

~ I knew Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong would drop out of the Top 10 due to it's lack of airplay this past week. This may be the end, my friend. :(

~ I'm shocked Cris Cab/Pharrell – Liar Liar didn't debut the countdown. It left Hit-Bound last weekend and got a lot of airplay this week. I hope this isn't the end.

~ Maroon 5 – Maps is in the Top 10. No surprise there.

~ Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend and Katy Perry – Birthday are really hogging up those bottom two spots.

~ Cher Lloyd – Sirens did not aire once this week. Not at all. So of course it left.

~ This week's number of entrants/exits is half the number I predicted. I would love for there to be a 7-DTHNOB week for once because it will be more interesting.

~ Disclosure/Sam Smith – Latch is looking at an extended stay in the teens.

~ Besides The Summer Set – Lightning In A Bottle, every song in the #11 to #22 range is looking pretty good.

~ Apparently, Spyder Harrison agrees that it is necessary to blast X Ambassadors/Jamie N Commons – Jungle whenever it comes on the radio. Spyder said that it's partially the reason why he's half deaf. I can't argue with you Spyder. I blast a lot of songs when they come on including Jungle, Am I Wrong, Latch, Chandelier, Bailando, Problem, Love Runs Out, Maps, and Break Free. What? I can't help it. When my favorite song comes on, I blast it so that everyone else can hear it.

~ Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong and Magic! – Rude need to swap spots to make me happy.

~ I'm working on a special announcement for you guys. It should be out sometime this week.

My Top 5 Picks
1. Ed Sheeran – Don't
2. Disclosure/Sam Smith – Latch
3. Ariana Grande/Zedd – Break Free
4. X Ambassadors/Jamie N Commons – Jungle
5. Sia – Chandelier
