Billboard Hot 100 Highlights March 26th, 2016

Well, Mike Posner got his second Top 10 hit. And it only took him six years since the last one. At least it's pretty great. Unfortunately, a new Meghan Trainor single may hit the Top 10 soon, so we have that to look forward to. But we'll worry about that later down the line. For now, highlights time.

New Entries Ranked

1. New Romantics
I hadn't heard this one before. Also it was hard to find a legit version on YouTube, best I could find was pitched up. Video when? Anyway, this is wonderful. Dreamy synths and catchy production overall. And Taylor throws herself in it. This does it for me.

2. Company
I don't remember what I thought of this before but I don't think I liked it. This time, yeah, I dig it. Great bassy production and Justin's emoting a little more than usual. Also the music video is far better than Loyal's (they both involve the Hard Rock Café).

3. Something New
I could honestly put this and Company in any order relative to each other, but I docked it points because of Chris Brown. He really didn't have to be here and he kinda kills the mood. Otherwise, good stuff. Zendaya's a good singer and the production's great.

4. untitled 02 | 06.23.2014.
Creative jazz instrumentation, but I didn't really like what Kendrick was doing with his voice in the first half. But otherwise pretty good. It's pretty astonishing songs from untitled unmastered. are charting, honestly.

5. Gotta Lotta
I wish Wayne did less nonsense syllables, but oddly, I'm kinda okay with this song. The production's bright and energetic, and neither men are particular insufferable on this song. Was not expecting that. Also side note: I accidentally listened to the censored version, and this wasn't indicated for whatever reason.

6. Came Here To Forget
I honestly don't have much to say about this one. It is kinda nice to hear a dark country song, I'll give it that. It's not particularly memorable or great, but you could do a lot worse. Blake himself has definitely done worse in the past.

7. Try Everything
No I haven't seen Zootopia yet. So yeah, this song. It's okay at best. It's obviously posing as the big soundtrack hit from this movie, but honestly it's nothing special. Underwhelming production and even Shakira doesn't sound that invested. But it's not terrible. Also GAZELLE WITH BOOBIES.

8. American Country Love Song
It's...okay. It's not really pushing any boundaries when it comes to bro country. But it sounds sincere, at least. And the production's fine enough. But really, this isn't going to stick with me. Country rarely does.

9. untitled 07 | 2014 - 2016
If you remember this was my least favorite track off untitled unmastered. It honestly feels too erratic and unfocused for me to really enjoy. I know that was kind of the point of that album, but I just don't get much out of it. Especially when the second half is aimless jamming.

10. No
Title says it all. It's at least nice that Trainor isn't doing doo-wap anymore, but that doesn't mean I wanted her to become Beyoncé. She's not remotely believable and her performance makes my skin crawl. At least it isn't as bad as Dear Future Husband?
