Nicky Youre (2) - Week Of July 16, 2022

Hey guys, what's going on? For my rankdown, I'm waiting on Dom and HrishK to finish, and as soon as they submit I will release the results. If you wanted to participate too, please comment that you're going to, otherwise I'm releasing the results when those two finish. Another boring week. Only one debut (hint ⛪) . The only saving grace is Sunroof is still #1 (but not for much longer). Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown:

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez (+14). Wow, I was not expecting that. This song is starting to grow on me. Hopefully it can last longer than a few weeks.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between As It Was - Harry Styles and Sweetest Pie - Megan The Stallion/Dua Lipa (-9). These songs are really old and annoying and need to leave soon. 

Debuts: 

Only one debut this week, and it's everyone's favorite church hymn Glimpse of Us by Joji! Does this song really need to be here? This is the most boring song I've ever heard in my life. It makes The Joker And The Queen seem like a dance song. The song itself isn't terrible, it's just way too slow for pop radio. Hopefully this song doesn't last too much longer.

Hitbound:

Baby Boo - Muni Long Saweetie

Jiggle Jiggle (Remix) - Duke & Jones, Jason Derulo, Louis Theroux (re-entry)

Dress - Charlotte Sands 

2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - Lizzo (Debut)

Victoria's Secret - Jax 

i feel everything - Amelia Moore (1TW)

the idea - blackbear 

Substance - Demi Lovato (Debut)

Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto

BLENDER - 5 Seconds Of Summer (Debut)

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

Easy Lover - Ellie Goulding, Big Sean (Debut)

Breakfast - Dove Cameron 

Disaster - Conan Gray 

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems (Debut)

Yessssss, I thought Jiggle Jiggle was gone forever, but Jason Derulo made a remix and now it's back! Yeah, this song is stupidly amazing, and Jason's verse is really good. I'm so happy this song is back.

Lizzo just released her new album and Hits 1 picked up on 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready). This song is really good. I like the 80s style production, and the key change at the end is pulled off well.

Demi Lovato made another pop punk song called Substance. Skin Of My Teeth was good, but Substance is even better. This sounds like a mid 2000s pop punk song, and I love it. Hopefully this fares better than Skin Of My Teeth which only lasted a laughably short one week on the countdown.

Now for the best hitbound debut of the week. Calvin Harris teams up with Halsey, Pharrell, and Justin Timberlake for Stay With Me. The 70s funk production is amazing, and everyone sounds good. This is way better than the Sam Smith song with the same name. Hopefully this song does well.

5 Seconds Of Summer released a new song called BLENDER. And holy cow, this is amazing. This is the best 5SOS song in a while. The 80s production is amazing and Luke & Calum sound good. This is way better than Me Myself & I and COMPLETE MESS and I hope it does well.

Ellie Goulding returns with Easy Lover along with Big Sean. She was last seen on Hits 1 back in 2019 with Hate Me With Juice WRLD (rip). As always, Ellie does not disappoint. Her voice is amazing and the song is extremely catchy, and Big Sean complements her voice very well.

Well, the streak of good debuts had to end. We have WAIT FOR U by Future, Drake, and Tems. I thought Drake had finally turned around after releasing Massive which is amazing. Then he goes and releases another horrible rap song. These horrible mumble rap trap songs don't need to be anywhere near pop radio. How is this a pop song!? The production is not good at all, and Future and Drake sound awful. Way 2 Sexy is still worse, at least Wait For U is somewhat listenable. This song better not debut or it's ending up on the bottom on my worst list this year.

Exits:

Glimpse of Us - Joji ⛪

W.I.T.C.H. (Woman In Total Control Of Herself) - Devon Cole

Got Me Good - DNCE

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

Life's Too Short - aespa 

Betty (Get Money) - Yung Gravy

Glimpse of Us entered the countdown. W.I.T.C.H.  and Betty (Get Money) were amazing and deserved better. Got Me Good wasn't that good. Wasted On You and Life's Too Short find themselves in the abyss. 

Abyss:

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

Life's Too Short - aespa 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith 

this is what falling in love feels like - JVKE 

Want Want - Maggie Rogers 

Daylight - Harry Styles 

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

Music For A Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles

I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

Viva Las Vengeance - Panic! At the Disco

Unstoppable - Sia

Wow, the list of abyss songs keeps growing and growing. If the countdown was still 45 songs, this wouldn't be an issue. I'm not sure if Unstoppable counts as an abyss song, but Hits 1 plays it sometimes, so I'm counting it. It was released back in 2016, the same album which included Cheap Thrills and The Greatest. I remember hearing this song a lot in 2016. I could've sworn this song made the countdown in 2016, but I checked and this song never made it to the countdown.

Can Hits 1 stop screwing over Don't You Worry? It's getting played on other pop stations, so why can't it debut? Oh yeah, I forgot that Hits 1 really stans slow, boring songs (⛪) and screws over good songs like iPad, I Love U, and now Don't You Worry.

Can Get Into It please be on the countdown? It's ridiculous it's getting played a lot yet it's still in the abyss.

TikTok top 5

5    SUNROOF - Nicky Youre/dazy

4    Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵

3    Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto 

2    I Like You (A Happier Song) - Post Malone/Doja Cat

1    Vegas - Doja Cat

And that's where I find a glimpse of blurb:

We lost All 4 Nothing (I'm So In Love). It was really bad so I'm glad it's gone. 

Really Hits 1, why did ⛪ debut? There's a ton of better songs that deserved to debut instead: Don't You Worry, Music For A Sushi Restaurant, and I Ain't Worried.

Sweetest Pie and Numb Little Bug have been here way too long. They dropped hard this week so hopefully they'll leave next week.

There's been a lot of movement on the countdown. Left And Right and SUPERMODEL made nice little jumps. Unfortunately, Amelia Whore keeps jumping.

Why is Love Me More still here? It's one of the most generic boring songs I've heard.

Sunroof managed to ward off Harry Styles and remain the #1 song. Late Night Talking jumped up to #3, so expect it to be #1 next week.

Bye for now, see you all next week!
