Number 1 Parade:

• WALK THE MOON - Shut Up And Dance (12 Weeks) [Tied For All Time Record]

• Taylor Swift - Blank Space (5 Weeks) (6 Weeks Total)

• Adele - Hello (5 Weeks)

• One Direction - Drag Me Down (1 Week)

There were a lot of good songs of 2015, but here's the list of the worst ones.

My Bottom 5 Songs Of 2015:

5. Nova Rockfellor - Made In Gold

4. Nate Ruess - Nothing Without Love

3. Priory - Weekend

2. Drake - Hotline Bling

1. MAX/Hoodie Allen - Gibberish

Tenure Trophies:

There are a lot of songs having short tenures and some others that had longer tenures. Some songs lasted only 3 weeks this year but none of those songs had the shortest tenure of 2015. There was one song that only lasted 2 weeks on the countdown this year. This song actually re-entered so it was there for 1 week and then another week.

Shortest Tenure Of 2015: David Guetta/Sam Martin - Dangerous 2 Weeks, Debuted 1/10/15, Left 1/17, Re-Entered 1/31/15, Left Again 2/7/15

Now, our longest tenured song is still here. It almost lasted a year but it's still here. I'm really sick of this song but it was great at the start.

Longest Tenure Of 2015: Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud (Debuted 12/27/14, Still There)

I decided to call the breakout artists the new artists of 2015. There were very good ones and very bad ones but here's the best and worst breakout artists of 2015.

Best Breakout Artist of 2015: Omi

Worst Breakout Artist of 2015: MAX

With all the songs that were in HitBound, a lot of them didn't even graduate to the countdown. Here's all of the HitBound dropouts of 2015.

What I'm going to do with these 30 songs is to choose the best one. The best song that never graduated HitBound is called the Lights Over Paris Award. I got that name from CountdownRecap by a band he didn't like. They produced a song called Turn Off The Lights which was on HitBound a long time ago but never graduated to the countdown. My Light Over Paris Award is a song that I fell in love with. I was really disappointed when it didn't make the countdown but here it is.

Lights Over Paris HitBound Hero Award: Steve Aoki/Moxie - I Love It When You Cry

There have been a bunch of songs that weren't added to Hits 1. Some of them were really good and some of them were really bad. The Biggest Whiff Of 2015 is the song I like the most of the year that didn't get added into the Hits 1 playlist. I got to say that I had a parody of this song of my cheer in camp. It's a very young guy who sings it and I dance to it a lot. It was in the American Top 40 and The Billboard but was never here.

Biggest Whiff Of 2015: Silento - Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)

There was a song that I really like so much but I didn't even become really popular. I really wanted it to be but things don't always go the way you want them to. Here's the song that should've made big this year.

Song That Should've Made Big: Dove Cameron/Cameron Boyce/ Booboo Stewart/Sofia Carson - Rotten To The Core

My Top 45 Songs Of 2015

First of all, I only allow any song that was on the Sirius XM Hits 1 Weekend Countdown for at least 1 week in 2015. If it was on the YouTube 15, HitBound, or the Hits & Misses show, but not on the Weekend Countdown, it's not allowed to be on the list.

Second of all, any song that was in my Top 45 Songs Of 2014 will not be considered for the list. All the songs in my Bottom 5 Songs Of 2014 left in 2014 so I wouldn't list them. Here's the list of songs that were in my Top 45 Songs Of 2014 and left in 2015:

• Olivia Somerlyn - Parachute (#21)

Third of all, the cutoff date is after Thanksgiving so any song that debuted December 5, 2015 or later will neither be considered in my Top 45 Songs Of 2015 nor Bottom 5 Songs Of 2015, but they will either be deferred in my Top 45 Songs Of 2016, my Bottom 5 Songs Of 2016, or neither. Here's the list of songs that debuted after Thanksgiving of 2015:

• The Weeknd - In The Night*

• Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods**

• DNCE - Cake By The Ocean

• Gwen Stefani - Used To Love You

• Nathinal Rateliff & The Night Sweat - S.O.B.

• Adele - When We Were Young

• Jason Derulo - Get Ugly

• Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - I Know What You Did Last Summer*

* It was going to be in my Top 45 Songs Of 2015 if it didn't debut too late, but it will be considered in my Top 45 Songs Of 2016.

** It actually re-entered too late in 2015. It was on the weekend countdown for 1 week in 2014 but it was listed here because it wasn't in my Top 45 Songs Of 2014.

My Top 45 Songs Of 2015:

45. Life Of Dillon - Overload

This song is just really good. I really like Life Of Dillon's voice and this song just sounds like a tropical paradise.

44. Pitbull/Ne-Yo - Time Of Our Lives

I really like Pitbull and Ne-Yo singing together and to produce this song. These guys are excellent singers as a duet.

43. One Direction/Zayn Malik - Where Do Broken Hearts Go

This song unfortunately wasn't played on any other stations. This song has a great beat.

42. Charlie Puth/Meghan Tranior - Marvin Gaye

Charlie Puth is really creative with his music. This song did have a decent amount of time on the countdown but it lasted too long.

41. Maroon 5 - Feelings

I really think that this song is awesome. A lot of people are upset when it left the weekend countdown.

40. MKTO - Bad Girls

This song is a really catchy song that I easily got sick of. BTW, MKTO needs to go back uphill with his music.

39. Tove Lo - Talking Body

Very catchy song that stayed on the countdown for very long. I really like Tove Lo and alternative music and this is just a catchy title.

38. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Hey Everybody!

I really agree with Parker that this is a copy of She's Kinda Hot. It just had to make the list because it's very good.

37. Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding - Outside

Ellie Goulding can really hit the high notes in this song. This song should've had a longer tenure.

36. All Time Low - Something's Gotta Give

I really like All Time Low and I got sick of this one pretty fast. Well, here it is in the list.

35. Ariana Grande - Focus

This sounds like her 2014 hit, Problem but in a louder voice. She's a really good singer but the random guy yelling is kinda annoying.

34. Meghan Trainor - Lips Are Movin'

This just had to be in my list. It's hands down Meghan Trainor's best song.

33. Taylor Swift - Style

She really doesn't go out of style in her music. I really agree with the lyrics in this song.

32. Selena Gomez - Same Old Love

I really like Selena Gomez but this song should've done better. I think that it's too slow to be ranked higher.

31. Taylor Swift/Kendrick Llamar - Bad Blood

Very violent song but very catchy at the same time. I just can stand watching the video though.

30. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis/Eric Nally - Downtown

It's a real shame that it still on the countdown. I got sick of it very fast but it was still good enough to make the list.

29. 5 Seconds Of Summer - She's Kinda Hot

I don't know what's so bad about this, Parker. I love 5 Seconds Of Summer and this song had to make the list.

28. Ariana Grande/The Weeknd - Love Me Harder

I was really upset when this song only lasted 8 weeks on the weekend countdown. I'm a really big fan of Ariana Grande.

27. The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face

I'm already sick of this song. I can live with it for now but this song is hands down catchy.

26. OneRepublic - I Lived

I love OneRepublic and I try to listen to them very often. I'm just glad that it wasn't ranked on the list last year because it debuted too late in that year.

25. David Guetta/Afrojack/Nicki Minaj/Bebe Rexha - Hey Mama

David Guetta doesn't disappoint me in this song. I just think that it's a big improvement from Nicki Minaj since she had produced my worst song of all time.

24. Wiz Khalifa/Charlie Puth - See You Again

I love Wiz Khalifa and I really like Charlie Puth. Them together makes this song a dream come true.

23. Omi - Hula Hoop

This song has lasted only 4 weeks with us, unfortunately. It's not as good as Cheerleader in my opinion.

22. The Weeknd - The Hills

This song got kicked out too early. It had lasted a sweet life and I never got sick of it.

21. Maroon 5 - Sugar

Adam Levine's falsetto isn't too bad in this song as it is in Feelings. I can't even believe Adrian hates this song even though Maroon 5 is is favorite band.

20. Zedd/Selena Gomez - I Want You To Know

This is Zedd's best song besides of my all time favorite song, Break Free. Well, I love this song with the addition of Selena Gomez.

19. One Direction - Perfect

I feel free that One Direction is one of my favorite bands. I have dislikes a few of this songs but the ones without Zayn Malik are awesome.

18. Lilly Wood/Robin Schulz - Prayer In C

This song got kicked out too soon. I really like this song and I was hoping it would go far even though it didn't.

17. Major Laser/DJ Snake/MØ - Lean On

I don't know what is with all the songs that left too early. This song was another one that left too early but I was sick of it anyway.

16. R5 - Let's Not Be Alone Tonight

This song is really catchy and it's really good. R5 is definitely one of my favorite bands.

15. Shawn Mendes - Stitches

I have to guarantee you, Hits 1 has been overplaying this song like a lot. I've heard it too much but it was enough to make my list.

14. Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life

Imagine Dragons keep producing better and better music. Way to go with these guys.

13. Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams

This song reached #1 in the best week of 2015. This song is one of Taylor's best.

12. Ariana Grande - One Last Time
I feel really happy about this song. I really thing it shouldn't have left so soon though.

11. Nick Jonas - Levels

Sadly, this song is most likely going to be gone within the next few week. It's not his best song though because he had better music.

10. Selena Gomez - Good For You

This song left too soon on the weekend countdown but I got sick of it. This song is really awesome and I definitely grew back into it.

9. DJ Snake/Aluna George - You Know You Like It

I know I like this song already. This song is really catchy but repetitive at the same time.

8. Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

Ellie Goulding has amazing voices in this song. This lady in this song can really sing.

7. Hailee Steinfield - Love Myself

This girl is only a teenager and she has talent. It definitely deserved to be in my top 10.

6. Fifth Harmony - Sledgehammer

This song debuted too late in 2014 unfortunately, so I couldn't be in that chart. But here it is, is this year's chart.

5. One Direction - Drag Me Down

This is all time One Direction's best song. I almost never got sick of it but I did like so many other songs did.

4. Nick Jonas - Chains

You got me Chains for my love because this is just an amazing song. No other Nick Jonas song can top this song.

3. R. City/Adam Levine - Locked Away

It's moving all over the countdown. It's really good though and I probably won't get sick of it.

2. Omi - Cheerleader

This song was another song that left so soon. I was really upset when it left, even there was a guest host.

1. Fifth Harmony - Worth It

This is a really good song and there's no way that I could get sick of it. The lyrics are just really good and I really can't stop listening to the song a bit.
