Maroon 5 (4) – Week Of September 13, 2014

This week wasn't really that interesting. I never even heard the countdown because my SiriusXM app was acting up on me and it wouldn't work. So I have no idea what's going on with Hit-Bound. I now understand why the app has some pretty bad reviews. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.

• X Ambassadors/Jamie N Commons – Jungle (#21)
• Imagine Dragons – On Top Of The World (#33)
• Justin Timberlake – Not A Bad Thing (#35)

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong (–32)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX – Fancy (+30)

New Entrants
~ Kickin' off the entrants with long-time Hit-Bound veteran Jesse McCartney – Superbad. I really didn't think this song would debut because of how long it was on Hit-Bound. But I'm glad it finally debuted. It's really catchy. It's not Jesse's best. But it's really good.

~ Another Hit-Bound veteran debuted in the form of 1975 – Girls. I have very little interest in this song. Chocolate was okay. But this song is just bad. Nothing else needs to be said.

~ My Anaconda don't! My Anconda don't! My Anconda don't want none unless you got buns hun! This song is really catchy even though it has inappropriate lyrics. But hey. It's Nicki Minaj!!! And Nicki Minaj is epic. And it's not like boring Pills N Potions, which got stranded on Hit-Bound. It's a fun song for people to jam out to. But from the reviews I've seen for it, I don't think very many people will be jamming out to it. But I'll be jamming out to it. And that's all that matters. And Nicki's inferior wannabe takes place at #24 and #6.

~ Save the best for last. Hits 1 has officially fallen in love with Fall Out Boy. Centuries is the song that should be spending quite some time at #1. It's definitely better than Young Volcanoes. And this whole time I thought Alone Together was their best. This song will be taking over the alternative charts for sure.

Let's Blurb Undressed
~ Look at this countdown. Anything missing? You sure? There's a certain artist who we haven't had a countdown without since February 16, 2013.

~ Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX – Fancy needs to leave now!!! I'm not happy about this jump at all!!!!!!

~ Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass has rose to the dangerous #2. Almost as nervewrecking as when Magic! – Rude hit #2. I don't see what's so good about this song. This girl is talking for half the song. She's not even a good singer. I listened to her new EP, and I wasn't impressed. I personally don't like her singing. But there are clearly people who disagree.

~ Taylor Swift – Shake It Off is now in the Top 5. Could this be a potential #1 song that will keep All About That Bass away???

~ Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando is finally in the teens.

~ Ariana Grande/Zedd – Break Free got to the Top 5 a lot quicker than Problem.

~ Jessie J/Ariana Grande/Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang is already ahead of all its debut buddies. And it was the second lowest debut.

~ I'm already over Heymous Molly – Life's A Beach.

~ T. Mills – All I Wanna Do will most likely be leaving next week. Looks like I was right about it not being that successful. But I'm sad about that!

~ So my high school is having a variety show (talent show) and I decided to sign up and audition. I'm auditioning on Monday. I'll be singing Calvin Harris/John Newman – Blame. I don't know if I'll be good enough to make it through the audition. If I do, that's great! If I don't, that's okay too. All that matters is that I'm gonna try. I should see the results for who made it through on Thursday, so I'll say what happened in my next post. If I make it through, I'll keep you guys informed on what's going on. But yeah. I'm excited. So that's happening on Monday.

~ I almost forgot about the 2014 Summer Voting Poll. Here are the four songs leaving us.

• Ariana Grande – Problem
• Iggy Azalea/Charli XCX – Fancy
• Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend
• Sam Smith – Stay With Me

Florida Georgia Line/Jason Derulo/Luke Bryan – This Is How We Roll had the most votes. It's time for the Top 5 peeps. This is serious. Here are the Top 5 Contenders:

• OneRepublic – Love Runs Out
• Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong
• Florida Georgia Line/Jason Derulo/Luke Bryan – This Is How We Roll
• Enrique Iglesias/Sean Paul – Bailando

You guys vote all week for the Top 3. The poll is up. I used a new poll so that you guys can't view the results, but I can. So get voting!

~ How dare X Ambassadors/Jamie N Commons – Jungle leave without my permission.

~ This marks the first time a Fall Out Boy song is #1 in my Top 5 Picks.

2. Taylor Swift – Shake It Off
