Adele (12) – Week Of February 13, 2016

So Valentine's Day weekend has come. I am indeed still single. I'm kind of used to it now. So I don't care as much now. It's also Grammy's weekend! For whatever reason, they thought it would be a good idea to have the Grammy's on a Monday this year. They probably did it because they knew they would lose viewers if they placed it on the Sunday in which The Walking Dead returns. It's pretty damn obvious. I don't know if I'll be able to post a review for the Grammy's performances. We'll see. I'll get back to you guys on that. Before we get to this week’s Fresh 45, here are the songs we’re saying goodbye to this week.

• Nelly/Jeremih – The Fix (#22)

New Entrants
~ ........what did I just listen to? Dessert by Dawin is the pure definition of annoying. I mean the verses aren't awful (but they're certainly not good). It's the part where the obnoxious voice comes in saying, "Whatcha gon, whatcha gon do with that dessert?" and the beat that comes after that makes the song go even more downhill twice as fast. This song is really irritating and hopefully it won't last long. But the fact that it had the highest debut of the week at #21 means it'll probably stay for annoyingly long period of time. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

~ Our buddies Luke, Ashton, Calum, and Michael (aka 5 Seconds of Summer) have replaced themselves on the countdown this week with the superior Jet Black Heart. I'm definitely a fan of this song. This could potentially be better than She's Kinda Hot and is definitely better than Hey Everybody!. There's a good use of instrumentals and the vocals sound better than ever. Well done, 5SOS. You have managed to impress me yet again.

~ Our best entrant this week comes from Justin Bieber with the more toned down Love Yourself. It's definitely not a club-banger like Sorry is. It's a little slower and doesn't any hardcore EDM production within it. It's just Justin with his soothing voice. It's not his best song, but I do really enjoy it. I really hope it can stay here for a while.

Jet Blurb Heart

~ Adele has unfortunately tied for the most weeks at #1 with Taylor Swift – Shake It Off and Walk The Moon – Shut Up and Dance with 12 weeks. A new #1 please??? How about Sorry? Stressed Out? Damn I'll take Cake By The Ocean!!! Just stop it with this obsession for Hello!

~ The huge jump from Selena Gomez – Hands To Myself was very uncalled for and frankly, very unnecessary.

~ It's about time Shawn Mendes – Stitches dropped out of the Top 10. Let's get it farther down, please!

~ Meghan Trainor/John Legend – Like I'm Gonna Lose You has been in the Bottom 5 for a while now. Can we get it out sometime in the next few weeks?

~ Tori Kelly – Hollow clearly was not eligible for a second week boost like Something In The Way You Move and Pillowtalk were.

~ I now don't have to worry about Selena Gomez – Same Old Love anymore. Thank god. Now I have to worry about Hands To Myself.

~ It's pretty damn ridiculous that The Weeknd – Can't Feel My Face is still here? Who is still voting for this song? And why couldn't they vote up The Hills to have the kind of success Can't Feel My Face had?

~ The exits from The Fix and Hold Me Up were expected since both songs only spent a few weeks on the American Top 40. That's fine though. I lost interest in both songs.

~ The Hit 45 Chart for this week is out! Find out if Justin Bieber can hold at #1 for a third week in a row and an eighth time overall with Sorry!

And now I will conclude this post with one of my favorite quotes that go out to all of you that are single this Valentine's Day:

"You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose." — Jo Courdert

You are the only person in your life that you will never lose.

Remember that. :)
