Walk The Moon (8) – Week Of August 22, 2015

This countdown is fucked up on so many levels this week. Also, 5 Seconds Of Summer had the Weekend Takeover this weekend. I wonder if that had anything to do with this week being so bad. We're definitely at the darkest of the Dark Age on this countdown. Before we get to this week's Fresh 45, here are the songs we're saying goodbye to this week.

5 Blurbs Of Summer

~ Why don't we start with our obnoxious #1 song. It's bad enough it's still here at the top spot. But I don't see any songs that could potentially take the #1 away. We may be stuck with this one for a few more weeks.

~ Why is Style at #2? This is beyond irritating and hopefully it will be fixed next week.

~ #3 is even worse. Want To Want Me has officially hit a new peak which is most definitely not okay at this point. It needs to leave already!

~ Fall Out Boy – Uma Thurman needs to exit the Top 10. Hits 1 has made Fall Out Boy one of the new most overrated artists. Thanks a lot. All because of that 2013 single, My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up).

~ Charlie Puth/Meghan Trainor – Marvin Gaye has been on this countdown for almost 3 months and it's just now entering the teens for the first time.

~ The only good thing that came out of this week was Omi – Cheerleader falling to #23.

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Find out if Hey Mama will be our #1 song for an eleventh time overall and tie the record for most weeks at #1!!!

~ I am seriously not feeling very good. I either have a cold or allergies. But either way I'm not feeling good. I almost didn't want to post the countdown because I wasn't really in the mood. But here it is!
