My least favorite song last year: Your Power - Billie Eilish

Most missed countdown song: I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas (2009)

Debuts:

Potion re-entered. It's a pretty good song, so I'm glad it's back.

Alec Benjamin has his first song on the countdown in 2 years since 2020's Oh My God with Devil Doesn't Bargain. I'm not the biggest fan of Alec's whiny, kiddish voice, but this song is pretty good.

Halsey is back after last year's I am not a woman, I'm a god with So Good. Halsey's voice is amazing, as always, and the production is pretty cool. A really solid Halsey song. 

Demi Lovato is back after their verse on Monsters from late 2020/early 2021 with Skin Of My Teeth. Wow, Demi went full pop punk. Anyone remember Celebrity Skin from Doja Cat earlier this year? The two songs sound almost identical. I'm a huge fan of pop punk, so I love Skin Of My Teeth. Hopefully this song does well here.

Now the best for last. Marshmello and Khalid have teamed up to make Numb. And holy cow, this is such a banger! The production is phenomenal. I love the whistling, and Khalid's voice is superb. This is going to be a huge summer hit.

Hitbound:

Dress - Charlotte Sands 

Falling Back - Drake (Debut)

Only You - Eddie Benjamin, Alessia Cara 

Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto (Debut)

Don't You Worry - Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, David Guetta (Debut)

So Good - Halsey (Sunday Best)

Devil Doesn't Bargain - Alec Benjamin (Sunday Best)

a letter to me - Dixie (Debut)

Baby Boo - Muni Long, Saweetie 

i feel everything - Amelia Moore 

Skin Of My Teeth - Demi Lovato (Sunday Best)

Glimpse of Us - Joji (Debut)

Numb - Marshmello, Khalid (Sunday Best)

Want Want - Maggie Rogers

Grrrls - Lizzo 

Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez (re-entry)

Really Hits 1, 4 Sunday Bests this week? If you don't know a Sunday Best is when a song is on the countdown and hitbound at the same time.

First up is Glimpse Of Us by Joji. Wow, what a snoozefest. This song makes The Joker And The Queen sound like a dance song. This guy's voice is not very good either. Overall not a very good song.

Next is a letter to me by Dixie. Hits 1, can we please stop tying to make Dixie D'Amelio a thing? No one likes her. This song is also kind of a snoozefest, and Dixie is oversinging in some parts. Overall, not very good.

Drake released a surprise album, and Hits 1 picked up on Falling Back. Drake might be my most hated artist of all time. I haven't liked a single song he's released. Way 2 Sexy was my least favorite song last year, and might be my least favorite song of all time. The only song I thought was okay was Hotline Bling, but it's still not very good. Falling Back might be my favorite Drake song so far, but that's not saying much. This song still isn't very good. Drake tried to go for an EDM song. I love EDM songs, so I should love this song. Unfortunately, I hate Drake's voice, and he keeps repeating the same line the entire song. The only saving grace about this song is the beat, it's actually pretty good. If literally anyone else way singing, this could be a pretty good song. I'm putting this song in the okay tier for now, but I might rank it lower if it starts to get annoying.

Next we have Booty by Saucy Santana and Latto. I really like the production here. They sampled Crazy In Love by Beyonce and Jay Z, which is a pretty good song. Everyone sounds good here. I really like fun songs with nonsensical lyrics, that's why I really like Get Into It (Yuh) And Jiggle Jiggle. Overall a pretty fun song. 

Now the best song for last. We have Don't You Worry by Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, and David Guetta. This song sounds like it could have been released in 2010, and I love it! Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, and David Guetta were some of the biggest artists in the late 2000s and early 2010s. This is how you properly make an EDM song, Drake! When I first read the title, I thought it said Don't You Worry Child, which was another amazing EDM song in the early 2010s. Everyone sounds good, and the production is phenomenal. Hearing will.i.am's and Shakira's voice brought back so many memories of listening to their songs in the 2000s and early 2010s.  This might be the best song of the year, and it will make an awesome summer song. Please Hits 1, don't let this flop like I Love U! 

So apparently Amelia Moore is the next one to watch, so expect to hear i feel everything a lot this week. Really Hits 1, this song is terrible! The production is very strange and weird, and Amelia's voice, well it's terrible. She's actually screeching in the chorus. i feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel everythiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Hits 1, please do better.

Exits:

88rising/BIBI - Best Lover

Dixie - Wild 

Madeline The Person - MEAN!

Tate McRae - don't come back

Mimi Webb - Goodbye

Conor Maynard - P.G.N.L.

PGNL finds itself in the abyss and is getting quite a bit of airplay, so it might debut later, or it could pull an I Love U and never debut, who knows.

As for the rest of the songs, I didn't really care for any of them, so I'm okay that they're gone.

Abyss:

Conor Maynard - P.G.N.L.

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 

Don't Forget My Love - Diplo, Miguel 

this is what falling in love feels - JVKE 

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

I Love You So - The Walters 

I Love U - The Chainsmokers 

Music For a Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles 

Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush Um has entered the abyss. Um, why is a song released in 1985 being played on the radio? Apparently this song was in Stranger Things and got super popular. It's bad enough that a song released in 2014 entered the countdown (I Love You So by The Walters), but if a song released in 1985 enters, I'm going on a huge rant. As for the song itself, it's actually pretty good. It sounds just like any other 80s song my parents would listen to. 

TikTok Top 5:

#5    First Class

#4    10 things i hate about you

#3    Jiggle Jiggle

#2    Until I Found You

#1    About Damn Time

The devil doesn't blurb:

We lost she's all i wanna be, Until I Found You, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Enemy, and To The Moon. I hated Enemy and To The Moon, so I'm glad that they're gone. Wrapped Around Your Finger only lasted one week which is a shame, it was a really good song. I just started warming up to Until I Found You, so I'm sad it left, but it's still in hitbound. she's all i wanna be was an incredible song, but it was starting to get old, so I don't mind that it's gone.

Numb Little Bug was the biggest drop. This song is good, but is starting to get really old and annoying, and it better leave soon before I hate it. 

Out Of Time was the biggest jump. I really like the 70s production here, and the Weeknd's voice is amazing, as always.

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like First Class. The production is super boring, and the Glamorous sample in the background is super weird. And Jack's voice is very uninteresting.

How is Late Night Talking in the top 10? It has the lowest airplay out of all the countdown songs. Running Up That Hill had more airplay.

Can Sweetest Pie leave quickly please? This is the most annoying song on the countdown. 

Harry Styles is number 1 for the 6th week in a row. I don't really see any other songs that can dethrone it soon, so expect this song to be #1 for a few more weeks.

Bye for now, see you all next week!
