Continental Chart - Week of August 15, 2015

Hello, and welcome to week number "9 + 10" of the Continental Chart!!! I'm your host...sort of...Thatchos.
I gotta say, this week was interesting. Why, you might ask? I actually started school again this week. It felt odd at first, particularly because I hadn't really worked my brain in 3 months, but it's starting to feel normal again. :)

    It's actually week #21 of the CC. 10+9=19, not 21.
    Song For Someone's jump though...knew it would be happening!
    Also, I do believe that it's my turn for a shoutout? Please?

      Actually, I was fully aware that it was the 21st week. If you're wondering why in the world I put week number "9 + 10," look up "9 + 10 = 21." You'll see why. >:)

      9+10=21 is the stupidest joke I've ever heard. :P

      Okay, I apologize. Do you think I should change it just to #21?

    Now for me review of the Continental Chart! My color-coding applies.

    Dearly Departted Ditties:

    #17. Goodbye old friend. You were good while you lasted. (Pink)
    #19. This isn't bad based off a 1:30 iTunes preview. But not necessarily good either. (Blue)
    #21. Your time has come to an end. It was good having you around. (Turquoise)
    #23. This didn't deserved to be a one-week wonder. :| (Green)
    #25. Thank the lord this one is outta here! (Red)
    #26. I'm slowly growing out of this song. (Blueish-Green)

    The Chart:
    30. Not really feeling this one. (Blueish, maybe Red)
    29. I just looked up the meaning to this song. This song could not be any sweeter. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis really know how to seperate the fun songs (Can't Hold Us, Thrift Shop) with the more meaningful songs (Same Love, Growing Up). (Green)
    28. One of Meghan Trainor's better songs. The only reason it's good is because John Legend is featured in it. (Green)
    27. Welcome back!........I feel as though one of the only people to still like this. (Green)
    26. Same as #27. (Green)
    25. No. Just no. Thank god it took a little tumble. (Red)
    24. We're Beautiful Now! (Green)
    23. Is this a record for most re-entries in one week? (Green)
    22. Slowly growing out of this song. (Blue)
    21. Really catchy song from Ms. Jepsen. I can't wait for her new album. (Green)
    20. I'm speechless. And not in a good way. (Orange)
    19. Finally. A Jason Derulo song that isn't complete crap ever since Talk Dirty. (Green)
    18. I completely disagree with Trance about this one. I'm really loving this one. (Green)
    17. This one is still pretty good. (Green)
    16. Yes, I still enjoy this song. (Green)
    15. This however........ (Orange - Tie w/ #20)
    14. Thankfully, this one made up for the madness at #15. (Purple)
    13. Definitely Tori Kelly's best. (Green)
    12. Sometimes I like this song, while other times it's just okay. (Green/Blue)
    11. As much as I love Shawn Mendes, I've heard this one a few more times than I should've. (Blue/Pink)
    10. Not as boring as Thinking Out Loud while still being a meaningful song. Well done Ed Sheeran. (Green)
    9. I'm still loving this song. (Purple - Tie w/ #14)
    8. This one.......not so much. (Yellow)
    7. Yaaasssss baby! New peak! (Green)
    6. Can u not?!?! (Red)
    5. His performance on America's Got Talent was just brutal to watch. I now like this song even less and I didn't think that was possible. (Red)
    4. This song has gotten more success than I thought it would get. (Green)
    3. Still not really sure about this one. (Blue/Red/Dark Green)
    2. I remember when this song was only popular on Adult Contemporary stations. :/ (Pink)
    1. Still not The Weeknd's best. But definitely one of the better songs out there compared to Cheerleader and Fight Song. (Blue)

    Breakout Hit Of The Week: Not feeling this one. (Blue, possibly Red)
