Color key:

Blue: Awesome song

Green: Good song

Yellow: Okay song

Orange: Kind of annoying

Red: Get this off of the countdown NOW

BIGGEST DROOOOOP!: Lorde - Team (-15)

BIGGEST JUMP!: Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World (+13)

Thoughts:

Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World is probably going to hit #1 next week, though it probably won't stay for long.

If you couldn't tell, I'm obsessed with Imagine Dragons.

Martin Garrix - Animals is jumping around the countdown so much, who knows what it will be next week?

Lady Gaga - G.U.Y is an AMAZING song. It's strange, I don't normally like songs by Lady Gaga.

Eminem/Nate Ruess - Headlights definately had top 5 potential. Now it's starting to get a bit old. :(

I used to be IN LOVE with American Authors - Best Day Of My Life, but that song just got too old too fast.

It seems like the Lorde craze is dying off. 

Timber and Hey Brother  should have never gotten popular. EVER!

 The Hitbound songs seem to be getting worse and worse.

I'm really glad #SELFIE didn't debut this week. The Chainsmokers will probably end up being a one hit wonder.

I can see Imagine Dragons - Demons leaving the countdown in the next 2-3 weeks.

Sometimes I wish Bastille - Bad Blood would debut.

I don't think anyone is voting for AJR - I'm Ready...

Will Imagine Dragons - On Top Of The World enter the number 1 spot? Check back next week and find out!
