    1. Because he was extremely late and in a hurry to get the post out at all. He's been known to do this if a post is as late as it is here.

      That being said, I was waiting for his reaction to the #1.

    1. Yeah I think it is the first time. My post will definitely be out tomorrow. I had an English project due tomorrow (still working on it) and I have all of these top 20 reviews (past 3 years + this year) to do. I also haven't added colors to songs yet and have not finished two entrant reviews.

  24. Wow! The Chainsmokers - Paris took over the #1 spot! Plus, that song kinda reminds me of M83 - Midnight City.

    ReplyDelete
  25. So, in addition to That's What I Like hitting #1, I just read that Billboard announced some of the performers for the Billboard Music Awards later this month.

    Bruno Mars (hopefully whatever he's performing here will be his next single from 24K Magic)
    Camila Cabello
    Celine Dion (very interesting)
    Drake (goddammit)
    Ed Sheeran (betting it'll be Castle On The Hill or something else)
    Florida Georgia Line
    Imagine Dragons (I have a feeling they'll perform the new single)
    John Legend
    Lorde (album hype ftw)
    Nicki Minaj

    And others. Seems we have some diversity here!

    1. Um I highly doubt that a song called that will be on Hits 1. The only rap songs that will probably debut Hits 1 are ones from the pop radio charts.
