1. ROLE MODEL - Sally, When The Wine Runs Out [+2] {14w} [1 week at #1]


Debuts:

Lewis Capaldi is back on the countdown since Strangers early last year with Survive. I can't stand Lewis Capaldi. The production here is actually decent and a lot more upbeat than his usual songs. But Lewis sounds so bad here. He's oversinging way too much in the chorus, and he's in full pencil sharpener mode. Let's hope this song doesn't get too annoying, but it probably will.

We really did not need a collab between the two most overrated artists right now. Alex Warren and ROSÉ have collabed on On My Mind. They both sound great here, but the production is just too boring and generic.


Countdown Extra: Lizzo/SZA - IRL

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Jonas Brothers - No Time To Talk [+12]

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Charli XCX - party 4 u [-5]

Last year's #1 song: Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso (3/6 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Crash Adams - Hotel Party

Least favorite song last year: Gracie Abrams/Taylor Swift - us.

Most missed song: Clinton Kane - GO TO HELL (2021)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Laufey - Lover Girl


5 Oldest Songs

Hitbound

All Time Low - SUCKERPUNCH [4]

KATSEYE - Gameboy [2]

Jessie Murph - Touch Me Like a Gangster [5]

People R Ugly - BETTER [Debut]

Benson Boone - Mr Electric Blue [3]

Kesha - THE ONE [2]

PinkPantheress - Illegal [Debut]

Twenty One Pilots - The Contract [4]

KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Golden [2]

flowerovlove - new friends [2]

Reneé Rapp - Mad [2]

Lorde - Shapeshifter [2]

SUPER-Hi/NEEKA - Following The Sun [5]


Folded reentered. I would have been fine if this song just died, but okay then.

We have more People R Ugly because Hits 1 has to pick up on every one of their songs. BETTER is a really fun song. This sounds like a sequel to Brain Dead because they use that same weird bass sound from that song. 

PinkPantheress is back for her yearly hitbound dropout with Illegal. This is pretty fun, but feels very forgettable.


Exits:

  • Mariah The Scientist - Burning Blue [3]

Burning Blue finds itself in the abyss.


2025 total dropouts: 98

Estimated total for 2025: 170 (-6)


Abyss

Mariah The Scientist - Burning Blue [1]

Ed Sheeran/Arijit Singh - Sapphire [1]

Ed Sheeran - Drive [2]

Tate McRae - Revolving door [2]

Avril Lavigne/Simple Plan - Young & Dumb [3]

Damiano David - The First Time [6]

Shinedown - Three Six Five [8]

Maren Morris - lemonade [8]

Avery Anna - Mr. Predictable [9]

Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER [9]

Justice/Tame Impala - Neverender [15]

Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us [18]

Lady Gaga - Disease [22]

Harry Styles - Daylight [163]


Why is Mr. Predictable back in the abyss? No one asked for this.



Mariah The Blurbentist:

We lost Not At This Party and What Was That. Not At This Party was a fun song but is was very forgettable and I don't think it deserved to reenter in the first place. What Was That was an amazing song but it had barely any airplay its entire countdown run and I forgot sometimes it was even still on the countdown.

Congrats on NOKIA for spending its 3rd month rotting in the bottom 5 of the countdown!

Nice to see No Time To Talk getting a huge jump. 

#14 - #6 didn't change spots at all.

Love Me To Heaven is a great song, but I don't think it needs to be all the way in the top 3.

Let's go! Nice to see Sally, When The Wine Runs Out finally reach #1. For a second it looked like Sabrina would block him from #1, but he finally overthrew her. Let's see how much longer this can stay #1. 

That's all for now, see you all next week!

Debuts:

The Jonas Brothers bring their second song on the countdown with No Time To Talk. This samples the classic 70s song Stayin' Alive. This is super fun and the brothers sound great as always.

Audrey Hobert has been announced as our new one to watch, and she debuts with Sue me. This is a fun little bop and she has a great voice, but this feels a bit generic.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tate McRae - Just Keep Watching [+13]

All Time Low - SUCKERPUNCH [3]

Mariah The Scientist - Burning Blue [3]


Oh goodie, 9 debuts. Let's get started!

None of the debuts were that great this week. Case in point this song. Unfortunately, Lewis Capaldi is back to making music, and he's here with Survive. I can't stand Lewis Capaldi at all, and this is no exception. The production is actually decent here, it's not as boring as most of his music is. But his voice is so damn annoying. He's in full pencil sharpener mode here, and he's oversinging way too much. Let's hope this doesn't become a hit. But knowing Hits 1, this will almost certainly become a hit.

We have more Reneé Rapp this week with Mad. This is pretty fun, but it's not nearly as good as Leave Me Alone.

Lizzo just dropped an album out of nowhere, and she has collabed with SZA for a second time since that insanely forgettable song Special in 2023. IRL kinda slaps, and Lizzo and SZA both sound good, but this feels kinda forgettable.

We have some random song from an anime called KPop Demon Hunters with Golden. This is a fine Kpop song, but insanely forgettable.

Lorde has released her new album Virgin, and she's here with Shapeshifter. I listened to the album, and except for What Was That, it was an extremely mid album, which is disappointing. Lorde sounds good here, but this is just very boring.

KATSEYE are back with Gameboy. This is pretty fun, but feels very generic.

Kesha is back with THE ONE. I wish they would have picked up on ATTENTION instead, that was so much better than this. This is just extremely forgettable.

Great, just what we needed, a collab between 2 of the most overrated artists right now. Alex Warren and ROSÉ collab on On My Mind. Everyone seems to love this song, but this sounds extremely mid. The production feels very generic and boring, but Alex and ROSÉ do sound great together.

Ending off the new debuts, we have Hits 1 plant flowerovlove with new friends. This is pretty fun, but along with the other debuts this week, this is extremely forgettable.


Exits:

  • Ed Sheeran - Drive [1]
  • Addison Rae - Fame is a Gun [2] SOTW
  • Haven Madison - Castle [3]
  • Alex Warren/Jelly Roll - Bloodline [5]
  • Alexander Stewart - Here Again [3]
  • Tyla - Bliss [6]
  • Jon Bellion/Luke Combs - WHY [5]


Bloodline deserved better. Drive finds itself in the abyss. Fame is a Gun might be in the abyss as it left despite being the countdown extra. And the rest of the songs were mid.


2025 total dropouts: 98

Estimated total for 2025: 176 (+5)


Abyss

Ed Sheeran - Drive [1]

Tate McRae - Revolving door [1]

d4vd - Feel It [1]

Avril Lavigne/Simple Plan - Young & Dumb [2]

Damiano David - The First Time [5]

Shinedown - Three Six Five [7]

Maren Morris - lemonade [7]

Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER [8]

Justice/Tame Impala - Neverender [14]

Kendrick Lamar - Not Like Us [17]

Lady Gaga - Disease [21]

Harry Styles - Daylight [162]

I thought Revolving door would have reentered this week. I guess it's gonna rot in the abyss instead.


Blurbshifter:

We lost Sapphire and Feel It. I'm surprised Sapphire flopped so hard. But I think Drive might be the next single instead. Feel It was a great song but it was starting to fade on me so I don't mind it left. Also with Feel It gone, we have finally gotten rid of every song that was still on the countdown from 2024. I can't believe it took until almost July for that to happen.

Blue Strips has gotten quite annoying recently and now becomes my orange song. Listening to Jessie Murph's voice makes me want to slam my head against the wall.

Nice to see Just Keep Watching getting a huge jump. 

Oh joy, Manchild is already in the top 10 and is probably gonna hit #1 very soon.

Aww, it's sad to see Sally, When The Wine Runs Out get blocked from #1. Maybe it still has a chance to reach #1?

Bro, this is just getting ridiculous and very clown-like now. Busy Woman was the least played countdown song this week, and it still stayed at #1. I'm convinced Sabrina is just paying Hits 1 to keep it at #1, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. This really needs to leave #1 immediately. 

That's all for now, see you all next week!

Sabrina Carpenter (2) - Week of June 21, 2025

 


Hey guys! Well, I guess I should explain why you've been starting to see ads on my blog. For the past year, I've been trying to submit my blog for AdSense, but Google kept denying my request for some reason. Finally this week, Google accepted my request to connect this blog with AdSense. I guess I should explain why I decided to start running ads. Obviously, I don't get paid to write these posts. I spend a lot of time making these posts, and it's a few hours out of my day every Saturday when I could be doing other things with my life. Is it too much to ask for at least a little bit of compensation? I hate ads myself, and I always use an adblocker, so I've tried to make these ads as non-intrusive as I can. On mobile, there's one ad on the top of the page, and one at the bottom of the page. On desktop, there's one ad on the sidebar and one at the bottom of the post. There's no ads in the post itself, and there hopefully shouldn't be any annoying ads that pop up that take up the entire screen. I know ads suck, but they really help support me as I make these countdown posts. If the ads start to get to be too much, please let me know and I can try to tone them down more, or I can get rid of them entirely if need be. Alright enough talking, let's get started with this week's countdown!

Debuts:

Both debuts make their way out of the abyss. First up is Tate McRae's song Just Keep Watching from the F1 movie soundtrack. This has grown on me a lot since it first entered hitbound a month ago. The production here is super catchy and Tate sounds great. This is now my third Tate McRae song I've put as my purple song, the others being It's Ok I'm Ok and Sports Car, so let's hope this doesn't fade on me hard like those 2 songs did.

Ed Sheeran collabs with some Indian singer Arijit Singh, who Hits 1 credits for some reason, with Sapphire. This is just aright. The production is pretty upbeat and Ed sounds good, but this just feels slightly forgettable.


Countdown Extra: Twenty One Pilots - The Contract

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Alessi Rose - Same Mouth and Charli XCX - party 4 u [+5]

Apparently Alessi Rose is the next artist Hits 1 has to pick up on every song from. She's here with That Could Be Me. The production is pretty upbeat and she sounds good, but this is forgettable as hell.

We have yet another song from the F1 movie soundtrack, this time it's Ed Sheeran with Drive. I really like the alt rock production here, and Ed sounds great as always.

Benson Boone has released his new album American Heart, and here he is with Mr Electric Blue. This is another 80s synth pop song like Mystical Magical. This is slightly more forgettable than Mystical Magical, but it's still a really fun song.

The Jonas Brothers are back with No Time To Talk. This samples the classic 70s song Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees. This is super fun and yet another bop from them. Hopefully this does well.


Exits:

  • The Paradox - Get The Message [1]
  • Kehlani - Folded [1]
  • SIENNA SPIRO - Dream Police [3]
  • Crash Adams - New Heart [2]

None of these will be that missed.

No time to blurb:

We lost Good News and Sports car. Good riddance to Good News, it lasted way too long and did not need to reenter at all. Hopefully it stays gone for good this time. Sports car was also getting annoying and really needed to leave.

NOKIA has dropped to the bottom spot again and is now on its 10th week of being in the bottom 5. At this point I wanna see how long this can rot in the bottom 5 for.

It's a shame that What Was That has been flopping so hard, this deserved better.

I'm surprised What I Want is flopping so hard as it went #1 on Billboard and is doing well on Mediabase.

twilight zone can't make up its mind whether it wants to be in the top 10 or not.

Abracadabra really doesn't need to be all the way up at #3, it's getting quite old.

Busy Woman had a massive drop in airplay this week yet it still somehow stayed #1. Sally, When The Wine Runs Out jumped to #2 so I really hope it can overthrow Busy Woman from #1 next week.

That's all for now, see you all next week!
