1. Summer Days-Martin Garrix Feat. Macklemore and Patrick Stump: This song seems to be about a hook up that happened during the summer and the lyrics somehow manage not sound demeaning which seems pretty rare in a song about this subject. I think that Patrick Stump's singing sounds excellent and I enjoyed Macklemore's rapping as well and I think that production that Martin Garrix made was a great fit for this song which is a fun summer song.
2. Mother's Daughter-Miley Cyrus: This song seems to be about Miley proclaiming herself to be the villain and her saying that is due to her mother's influence that she is the way that she is the way she is. I really like how this song's lyrics have a lot about freedom and power sung about in it's lyrics, I especially like how she calls herself a witch at one point. This song's production is one that has a dark edge to it and I think Miley sells that in the rest of the song as well.
3. Senorita-Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes: This song seems to be about a pair of almost lovers who seem to be in a friends with benefits relationship in this Latin flavor song. Both the singers sound great on this song and the two of them have a good amount of chemistry on this song which is something that greatly benefits this song.
4. Never Really Over-Katy Perry: This song seems to be about an on again off again relationship that never really ends up ending. This song is one that just sounds really good Katy Perry sounds fantastic on this song and I think the production on this song sounds pretty fun as well.
5. Trampoline-SHAED: This song is one I'm a bit unclear what it's about other then the singers been having dreams and her singing about how they make her feel. This song is one that has this sleepy dream like feel to it that really makes it an experience to listen to and I especially like the way whistles are added into the song towards the end of the song it just adds something extra to an already good song.
6. You Need to Calm Down-Taylor Swift: This song feels like it's two different songs that were put together with one half the song being about people spreading hate on social media and the second half is about supporting gay rights neither of this topics are bad things to write songs about it doesn't feel like the two ideas belong in the same song together. Despite this songs flaws I still enjoy because it's so catchy and it gets stuck in my head all the time, the song has fun production and Taylor sounds great on it.
7. Truth Hurts-Lizzo: This song is about Lizzo telling a guy that she's doing so much better now that she's no longer in a relationship with him and has moved on to better things. I think that Lizzo attitude really sells this song with her confidence shining through the whole song. Lizzo and her production sounds great on this song which is something that really makes this song so fun to listen to.
8. Only Human-The Jonas Brothers: This song is about going out for a night on the town and going home with someone. This song is mostly just a fun song that one can dance to which is something that works well enough for me.
9. Easier-5 Seconds of Summer: This song seems to be about contemplating whether it would be easier to stay in this relationship or stay in the relationship when it's clear that neither side is willing to change. I think that song sounds pretty good even though it's nowhere near as good as Youngblood by the same band.
10. Call You Mine-The Chainsmokers Feat. Bebe Rexha: This song is about some kind of romantic relationship that develops in this song. This song is one that I don't think has particularly interesting production but since I really like Bebe Rexha's voice I still ended up putting it on my list despite nothing else about the song really standing out.

Top 10 Songs That Hit the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2019
1. Juice-Lizzo: This song is about loving yourself and being completely unapologetic about this fact and there seems to be a side thread about rejecting lame guys. This song is a ton of fun and makes you want to both sing along and dance to it every time that you hear it. Lizzo is brimming with charisma and self confidence throughout which really adds a lot to this already excellent song.
2. What If I Never Get Over You-Lady Antebellum: This song is a duet about two people who have recently gotten out of a relationship with each other and are wondering if they made the right choice because they're worried that they might never get over each other even if they do move on. This song is one that feels like a powerful and heartbreaking song that is fantastically sung and backed up with great instrumentation as well. I especially love the part towards the end of the song when they both start singing what if questions until they're both singing at the same time which I think brings the song to a whole other emotional level.
3.If I Can't Have You-Shawn Mendes: This song is a sweet love song about how nothing matters without the one you love and the song is one that just sounds so happy throughout which makes the song fun to listen to. I like how the song tells a story of Shawn and the girl that means the world to him even though he seems to be trying to get over the girl. Shawn sounds great on this song and the production works perfectly on this song.
4. Youngblood-5 Seconds of Summer: This song seems to be about a couple that has broken up and how both sides seem to be having trouble letting go of each other and the singer seems to be mad at his ex for not fully letting him go even though his equally as guilty to this to the ex. I like how the verses have a sparse production with the singer sadly recalling his break up and the aftermath of it while the choruses have an angrier rock edge where singer calls out his ex for their unclear behavior. I really love the song especially the chorus which really pumps you up.
5. Nightmare-Halsey: This song seems to be about how Halsey has been through bad things and also how she caused a fair bit of it and she's framing both her experience and herself as a nightmare. I really like how she puts nightmare imagery in her lyrics. I like how the verses her singing and the production is soft and quiet while during the chorus both her singing and production is loud and harsh with a rock edge which different from most of her songs and songs that make it on the hot 100 these days which is something I really liked about the songs.
6. Power is Power-SZA, The Weekend and Travis Scott: This song is one that was written for Game of Thrones and I think this song does a good job of covering the themes about the power struggles that are a core part of what made the series great at least the early seasons which is all I have seen so far. The song also has a lot of violent imagery in it lyrics which fits very well for a song about the power struggles in Game of Thrones which often ended in someone's death. All three artists do a great job on this song and the dark production works really well for this song.
7. Wish Wish-DJ Khaled Feat. Cardi B and 21 Savage: First off DJ Khaled is the worst part of the song with him just saying random annoying things at the beginning and end of the song so it makes me mad that he's credited as the lead artist on this song. 21 Savage is fine on this song but the one who owns this song is Cardi B. This song is about Cardi B addressing her haters who it sounds like her judging her more for her sex life than by her music which makes her brutal dissing of them in this song pretty satisfying to hear.
8. All To Myself- Dan+ Shay: This is a simple love song about wanting to keep the one that you love all to yourself and feeling like the two of you don't need anyone else because of how much you love each other. The singing and instruments sound really good on this song and overall the song is just really nice to listen to.
9. Big Ole Freak-Megan Thee Stallion: This song is about Megan thee Stallion is in complete control with a relationship with this guy who might not be able to really handle her but surely wants her. This song is primarily on the list because the hook which is sung just always gets stuck in my head and I really love it.
10. Homicide-Logic Feat. Eminem: This song is one where I'm not exactly sure what it is about but I think it's about calling out the current rap scene and showing how they are both more talent than pretty much all the current popular rappers. This song is mostly on the list because I'm really impressed by both Logic and Eminem's flows.
2. What If I Never Get Over You-Lady Antebellum: This song is a duet about two people who have recently gotten out of a relationship with each other and are wondering if they made the right choice because they're worried that they might never get over each other even if they do move on.
