Maroon 5 (2) – Week Of August 23, 2014


This week was pretty good. I start school on Monday. So posts may be delayed. I'll tell you if they are. Also Spyder Harrison has a massive cold and warned us when we were more than halfway through the countdown to keep away from the speakers so we don't catch it.

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Magic! – Rude (–36)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando (+9)

New Entrants
~ It is rumored that Taylor Swift and country music are splitting as her new album, 1989, is her first pop album. From that album, the single, Shake It Off debuted. It’s really catchy and is now Taylor Swift’s best. As all Taylor Swift songs, I hope it gets far.

Hit-Bound
~ Jason Derulo – Trumpets is still on Hit-Bound.

~ I didn’t hear Becky G – Shower or Tove Lo – Habits (Stay High) on Hit-Bound. I guess they left...

Top 5 Hit-Bound
1. Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang
2. Rixton – Wait On Me
3. MKTO – American Dream
4. Mary Lambert – Secrets
5. Brantley Gilbert – Bottoms Up

Blurb It Off
~ Calvin Harris/John Newman – Blame is to be released September 7th. I can't wait that long. It's like, two more weeks. And I'm sure the song will be amazing. Click here for a preview of the song.

~ Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass is dangerously getting closer to the top of the countdown.

~ The Vamps hosted Hit-Bound.

~ Rita Ora – I Will Never Let You Down is higher than it was the first time it was on the countdown. That unexpected exit wasn't necessary though.

~ Ingrid Michaelson – Girls Chase Boys made a nice jump into the Top 10.

~ Every song that's in red (besides Magic! – Rude and Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass) were all good at some point. Just goes to show that Hits 1 overplays these songs. The fact that Counting Stars is still here is ridiculous. At least Pompeii is gone.

~ Sadly, X Ambassadors/Jamie N Commons – Jungle might be on it's way out.

~ Spyder Harrison did it again this week. He said Buh-lin-do instead of Bi-lan-do.

~ Justin Timberlake – Not A Bad Thing needs to stop jumping anywhere over #30.

~ Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend is still here. It gets weirder every week folks.

~ There's quite a few songs that need to leave. I'm looking at you #s 2, 7, 29, 31, 36, 37, 40, and 41.

~ This is the smallest Biggest Jump we've had in a while.

~ This is the biggest Biggest DROP!!!... we've had in a while.

~ And now, it's time to eliminate five songs from the 2014 Summer Voting Poll. The Top 15 will continue competing. Here are the songs eliminated.


  • Calvin Harris – Summer
  • Ed Sheeran – Sing
  • John Legend/Tiesto – All Of Me
  • Magic! – Rude
  • MKTO – Classic

Maroon 5 – Maps had the most votes. The new poll will be added on the same page and you will continue voting this week. Next weekend, we're eliminating three. So vote.

~ #1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Tie Between Andy Grammer – Back Home and Hilary Duff – All About You

~ Saving the best blurb for last. Magic! – Rude's drop was one of the best things to happen this week. I'm so freakin' happy about it. This was my face when I heard that it dropped.


My Top 5 Picks
1. Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando
2. Taylor Swift – Shake It Off
3. Maroon 5 – Maps
4. Ariana Grande/Zedd – Break Free
5. T. Mills – All I Wanna Do

  16. Possible additions to Hit-Bound:
    Anaconda- Nicki Minaj (if its possible to have a radio edit)
    Bo$$- Fifth Harmony
    She Came To Give It To You- Usher/Nicki Minaj

    Who else was really happy that Fifth Harmony won Artist To Watch at the VMAs? I remember when they auditioned separately for The X Factor, and then put together as a group by Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato, & Britney Spears. I remember when they performed together for the first time as a group. Its been pretty amazing to watch them grow as artists!

    9. Thank god you did not leave. Thank god you backed up a spot.
    8. Same as 9.
    7. Same as 10.
    6. Both of your so gs left this week but luckily this deserved the biggest jump of the week

  19. 5. Yay Adrian real be so happy. It it leaves next weekend and goes to 11 or 41.
    4. Good
    3. Adrian will probably be happy about this too. A lot of people thought this would hit number 1 this week but luckily it didn't by falling 1 spot to number 3. Adrian you probably won't want this to back up next week.
    2. Lance will be very mad about this. I am mad too about this.
    1. Wow a number 1 debut for a good song! This is nice!

    3. Young Volcanoes by Fall Out Boy (+5)
