Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2017 - Part 1 10-6

  10. So you know how Shape Of You was the 3rd biggest hit of the entire 2010s, and in the top 10 of the most recent Billboard All Time update? Wouldn't it have been nice if this song released alongside it had had that success instead?  10. Castle On The Hill - Ed Sheeran (Peak #6, Billboard Year End: #40, Jan-Dec Year End: #43)  There was a time where this would have probably topped this list. It was the summer between 8th grade and high school, and autistic, socially awkward me, was worried about leaving behind all my friends from my school and starting over. Because of this, I was a bit depressed early in the summer, but then I discovered this song, and it helped me through the depression, and I proceeded to have a great summer that year, one I'm very nostalgic for in fact. So this song will always have a spot in my heart for that, but it has also cooled on me over the years. It's still fantastic though. I mean these days there is something in the production that does ho

 4. Issues - Julia Michaels (Peak #11, Billboard Year End: #29, Jan-Dec Year End: #29) Honestly, I don't mind the lyrics or instrumental to this song at all. Neither is anything special, but they're fine enough. What isn't fine enough is Julia Michael's singing! She sounds like she's singing with a very bad cold, and she turns what would be a fine pop song into a painful listening experience. Not more to say really.  There was a time where this next song would have topped my list easily, but I grew to dislike two songs more, and the artist who made it did grow on me a fair amount. Still hate this song a lot, and it also happens to also be probably the most widely hated song on this Year End list in this community.  3. Tunnel Vision - Kodak Black (Peak #6, Billboard Year End:: #55, Jan-Dec Year End: #53) I don't hate Kodak Black like I used to. I mean sure he's a bad person, but in a lot of songs I've heard from him like ZEZE or Super Gremlin it's eas

  Hey everyone, Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews here, and today I'm gonna be going over my least favorite hit songs of 2017. This was a good year for music, although not a great one. And yes I'm trying doing top 10 lists again lol. Normal disclaimers that this is all my opinion and songs have to be on either the Jan-Dec or Billboard Year End lists to make this list.  10. Fake Love - Drake (Peak #8, Billboard Year End: #37, Jan-Dec Year End: #51)  Drake is an artist who has grown on me over the years I've been paying attention to popular music. I used to think he sucked, but now I think he's usually pretty solid, and capable of greatness, but also capable of shit, like this song. The lyrics are just really boring and unimpressive, especially the horrible bar "I've been so down it look like up to me", but alsoa subjectDrake has beat to the ground at this point, and in better songs like God's Plan too. And Drake sounds really bored here too, like he

 Hey everyone, today I am doing a companion piece to my Throwback Breakdown series, a list of the chart run of every song on the Billboard Year End list for 2010. The chart runs below are only the weeks the song got in the 2010 chart year (December 2009-November 2010), so for many of these songs it is not their full run.  Tik Tok: 5 3 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 4 6 8 9 10 12 15 18 17 19 21 25 25 32 32 38 39 46 Need You Now: 14 17 16 19 21 22 20 19 17 18 8 3 6 5 3 2 2 4 4 4 6 5 4 5 10 12 13 14 14 15 18 21 21 22 22 23 27 32 33 23 34 38 46 47 46 48 Hey Soul Sister: 45 46 45 45 32 34 29 23 7 10 9 7 7 7 6 7 6 7 3 3 3 3 5 6 7 10 11 9  12 12 14 16 16 17 17 16 16 19 21 26 30 32 33 42 43 44 43  California Gurls: 2 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 4 3 8 7 10 12 17 17 20 19 26 31 37 44 50 OMG: 14 10 8 6 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 5 8 10 13 15 20 20 22 21 24 33 34 38 44 43  Airplanes: 12 9 7 5 3 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 3 3 4 4 6 9 11 12 14 14 16 18 22 24 31 33 39 47 Love The Way You Lie: 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 7 10 12 12
