Hey guys! One announcement. I have finally completed the Hits 1 all time ultimate rank. I won't be doing any more individual reveals. I just decided to post it in one big list. I had to split it into 3 posts, because it was too big for Blogger. Here are the links:

Debuts:
You didn't want more forgettable Jonas Brothers crap on the countdown? Well too bad. They return to the countdown with Listen When Sad. This song is just forgettable as hell. The brothers sound good as always, but the rock production is just so insanely generic. Hopefully this song dies a quick death.
In slightly better news, Minibar finally debuts after being in the abyss for a month. I quite enjoy this song. It's so much better than Hit The Wall. Gracie and Audrey both sound good together.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Morgan Wallen - Been By Now [+10]
Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tame Impala/JENNIE - Dracula (Remix) [-6]

Miley Cyrus, who has rebranded to just "MILEY", has revealed a new album Bass Persuades which will release Sep 17, and we have the title track debuting this week. Finally, a great new song from her. This is a dance club banger, and Miley sounds great here. I can see this becoming a big hit.
ADÉLA just released her new album PRIMA, and we have the next single Nicole Kidman, featuring uncredited vocals from Julia Michaels. Hits 1 picked up on the wrong single. I wish Boys would have been the next single instead. This song is fine, but it's slightly worse than Ain't In LA. This is just a bit too weird for my liking.
We have 2 Daniel Hits of the Future plants debuting this week. First up, is a collab between 2 upcoming EDM artists Monic and GONE ASTRAY with their song called Meant To Be. This song is incredible. It sounds straight out of 2016, and it has a fantastic drop. This reminds me of a cross between The Chainsmokers and Zedd. Hopefully this can become a hit.
The second HOTF plant is Jamie Miller's first ever song on Hits 1, and he jacked the title straight from Dominic Fike's Babydoll. This song is pretty fun. It reminds me a lot of Cody Simpson's Baby Blue from earlier this year. But this feels a bit too forgettable. But I have a feeling this might grow on me.
Lastly, we have a new LISA single called SaWaDiKa, which apparently is a Thai greeting. This song kinda slaps, and LISA sounds good, but this feels a bit too forgettable. This could grow on me though.
Exits:
- Tyla - THAT GIRL [6]
- UPSAHL - I LIKE IT! [4]
- ADÉLA - Ain't In LA [4]
- BUNT./Lauren Spencer Smith - Stay [5]
Ain't In LA finds itself in the abyss. The other 3 songs were great, but I'm not really gonna miss them.
2026 total dropouts: 138
Estimated total for 2026: 184 (+4)

Temper City - Self Aware [5]

Blurbs Persuades:
We lost A Couple Minutes for a second time, and Edge of the Earth. Edge of the Earth was good but was extremely generic. And good riddance to A Couple Minutes. It did not need to reenter, and hopefully it stays gone.
RIP to Sue me. At least it didn't leave the countdown.
Been By Now had a random big 10 spot jump. Okay, then.....?
After 34 weeks, it looks like Dracula might finally be on its way out. Sad to see it never went #1, but it has to leave eventually.
Let's go! After being blocked from #1 4 times by 2 Olivia Rodrigo songs, Mr. Know It All has finally gone #1. This song has grown on me a ton, and even went #1 twice on my personal charts. Hopefully this can spend a few more weeks at #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
