Ed Sheeran just released his new album Play, and he's here with Camera. Ed originally wrote this for Justin Bieber back in 2021, but ended up scrapping it, but then ended up bringing it back for this album. This is an alright power ballad from him. The production is actually a bit upbeat for a ballad but it's still kinda forgettable, but Ed's voice is really good here.

Great, we have 2 nobodies this week. We have some random person named Jade LeMac with Running Home. Actually, it turns out this girl was on the What I Wouldn't Do/North Star Calling song from 2023 that had a million Canadian artists on it (Crash Adams was also on that song!). This is actually a pretty good song. The production is really upbeat and her voice is really good.

Twenty One Pilots have released their new album Breach, and they replace themselves with City Walls. This song is nearly 5 and a half minutes long, but Hits 1 plays a shortened version of it. This is not nearly as good as Drum Show. The production here is weird and a bit slow.

We have some random pop punk band BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT with HEART AWAY. I don't know who these people are, but this song slaps hard. I really like the alt pop punk production, and whoever is singing sounds amazing. I wouldn't mind if this song became a hit.

Demi Lovato is just straight up making EDM now. She's back with Here All Night after Fast unfortunately flopped hard. I think I like this a bit better than Fast. The EDM production is really fun and Demi sounds great.

I AM GLAD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE GREAT AND VERY TALENTED OLIVIA "GODDESS" DEAN IS ON THE WONDERFUL AND ABSOLUTELY STUNNING SHOW "HITBOUND", OR AS MANY CALL IT, "AMAZINGMUSICBOUND" WITH MIKEY PIFF ON HITS 1 SIRIUSXM!!!!!! HITS 1'S HITBOUND ALWAYS PLAYS HIT SONGS FIRST, LIKE GIVE ME A KISS FROM THE LEGENDARY #1 HITMAKERS CRASH ADAMS!!!!! I AM A BIG FAN OF OLIVIA AND I'M SO PROUD OF HER, OLIVIA "GODDESS" DEAN FOR GETTING A SECOND FUTURE #1 HIT AFTER 3 TIME #1 HIT (#30 = #1) WITH "NICE TO EACH OTHER". NOW SHE WILL ABSOLUTELY WRECK TAYLOR "NOT HOT ANYMORE" SWIFT OR SABRINA "FAKE" CRAPENTER! SHE IS TRULY ONE TO BE RECKONED WITH AND BECAUSE I SUPPORT HER, SHE WILL HAVE 15 WEEKS AT #1!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!!!!!! -DJT......anyways...Olivia Dean is back because we totally needed more of here. Man I Need is actually kinda good. This is a lot better than Nice To Each Other. The production is pretty upbeat and Olivia sounds great, but this still seems kinda forgettable. I have a feeling this could grow on me though.

Next up we have a very weird collab. Damiano David has collabed with Tyla and Nile Rodgers on Talk to Me. The collab may be very strange, but it somehow works. I really like the production from Nile Rodgers, and Damiano and Tyla both sound great.

Lastly, we have a random old song, because why not. A BLACKPINK song from 2016 called BOOMBAYAH has debuted hitbound. I thought hitbound was for discovering new music, I've known about this song since it came out. But honestly I'm not even mad because this song is an absolute banger and I'm glad this song seems to be trending again. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to put this song on my personal charts.


Exits:

  • Twenty One Pilots - Drum Show [3]
  • Dasha - Like It Like That [3]
  • Maeve - (We're Not) Together!!!! [5]
  • Marshmello/Jelly Roll - Holy Water [5]
  • Eminem - Everybody's Looking At Me [2]
  • Russell Dickerson - Happen To Me [6]
  • Haven Madison - Castle [11; 2nd time]

Everybody's Looking At Me deserved to debut, and nothing else will be missed.

Estimated total for 2025: 182 (+5)

BLURBAYAH:

We lost Nice To Each Other...again...I'm not really sure why this felt the need to reenter just to leave 1 week later.

Can an actual amazing Doja Cat song not flop for once?

Same Mouth had a huge 10 spot drop. Good, get this out of here. 

Can Blue Strips and party 4 u just leave already instead of rotting in the bottom 5 spots?

Can JUMP do more jumping and not more dropping?

Oh joy, Tears had a huge 11 spot jump almost into the top 10. It's only a matter of time until this reaches #1.

Wow, A Little More had a massive 17 spot jump to #6. I wouldn't mind if this hit #1

The top 3 has stayed the same for a month now. We need more movement up there.

Wow, undressed has been #1 for 5 weeks in a row now, and shows no sign of backing down from #1 any time soon. I wonder how much longer this can stay #1.

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

Debuts:

Nice To Each Other reentered. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, okay then???????? This is the most forgettable song that's ever been released, and really did not need to come back at all.

Sabrina Carpenter's Tears debuts all the way at #22. This song isn't actually that bad. The production is pretty groovy, and Sabrina sounds great here. But it's only a matter of time until this song goes #1 and gets extremely annoying.

Lady Gaga is back with a song called The Dead Dance that was featured on the show Wednesday. This is pretty good. The production is pretty groovy but seems a bit basic, but Lady Gaga sounds great as always. I wish they would have picked up on Kill For Love instead.

Justin Bieber released a deluxe version of SWAG, and he's here with LOVE SONG. This is not what we needed. We did not need more forgettable R&B crap. This is even more boring than DAISIES. Hopefully this flops hard.

Bro, can Hits 1 please stop trying to make flowerovlove a thing? She's back yet again with I'm your first. This song is fine. The production is fairly upbeat but this is forgettable as hell.

Lastly, 12 to 12 reentered. This has grown on me a lot since it left and I'm really glad it's back. Hopefully this can debut the countdown.


Exits:

  • sombr - i wish i knew how to quit you [2]
  • Thomas Day - she got a thing about her [8]
  • Claire Rosinkranz - Dancer [3]

Literally none of these will be missed.

Ed Sheeran/Arijit Singh - Sapphire [8]


I could eat these blurbs for lunch:

We lost Betty for a second time and No Broke Boys. No Broke Boys deserved better, but it's still in the abyss, so it could come back. Betty was an amazing song, but it faded on me a lot, and it didn't need to reenter in the first place. 

Nice to see JUMP and Jealous Type getting big jumps.

Blue Strips and party 4 u have been here for months but they've just been rotting in the bottom half of the countdown. Just leave already!

back to friends entered the top 10. Okay, then. I wish it was 12 to 12 instead.

It looks like Golden won't be hitting #1 after all.

Ummm, why is Love Me Not back in the top 5?

The top 3 did not change at all again. I'm surprised undressed has held at #1 this long, but I'm glad it has.

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