Nicky Youre (3) - Week Of July 23, 2022

Hey everyone, what's up? One announcement. I did a 2021 Ultimate Rank. Basically, I ranked all 290 songs from hitbound and the countdown from 2021 on how well they did on Hits 1. Check it out on my header or click here. This was a fairly good week. 2 annoying songs left the countdown, there was one amazing debut and one questionable debut, and Nicky Youre managed to ward off Harry Styles for now. Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown:

Countdown extra: the idea - blackbear

Biggest Jump Of The Week: I Like You (A Happier Song) - Post Malone, Doja Cat (+7). This song is good albeit starting to get annoying.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Potion - Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Young Thug (-13). This song is good but super forgettable. 

Debuts:

Ellie Goulding is back on Hits 1 after 3 years with Easy Lover. This song is incredible. The production and Ellie Goulding sound fantastic, and Big Sean's verse fits in perfectly.

Now we have the most questionable debut, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. So this song came out in 1985 and got popular due to Stranger Things. C'mon Hits 1, I know other stations are playing this, but you could have been the bigger man and not let this debut. This song is really bad. The production is strange and slow, and Kate Bush does not sound good. And this song is nearly 5 minutes long, it just goes on forever! I thought this was supposed to be today's pop hits, not pop hits from 37 years ago! There are thousands of 80s songs that are better than this. Why did this have to become so popular?

Valley of Lies - TOMORROW X TOGETHER, iann dior (Debut)

Yay, more Billie Eilish, because that's what everybody wanted (not). She is back with The 30th. This is absolutely terrible. The production is non-existent, and Billie is whisper singing and sounds terrible. This is basically Your Power 2.0. Can this not become a hit, please?

Yay, Betty (Get Money) came back!

Russ and Ed Sheeran collabed to make Are You Entertained. This song is not good. The production is super obnoxious, and Russ sounds terrible. Ed is the only saving grace of the song.

I thought Yall Life by Walker Hayes would debut hitbound, but we got another country trap song instead. Kane Brown is back with Grand. This song's okay. The production's okay and Kane Brown sounds less obnoxious than Walker Hayes.

Panic! At The Disco is back after the disaster of Viva Las Vengeance. This is way better than Viva Las Vengeance. There's an actual melody and there's not a key change every 5 seconds. Hopefully this does well.

Remember Fletcher? She's back with Becky's So Hot. This song's okay. The production is cool but it's super forgettable.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER is back after the failure of PS5, and teamed up with iann dior to make Valley of Lies. This song is just okay. The production is good, iann dior sounds good, but it's not that memorable.

Exits:

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

Dress - Charlotte Sands 

2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - Lizzo 

Substance - Demi Lovato

Easy Lover - Ellie Goulding, Big Sean

Jiggle Jiggle, Dress, and 2 Be Loved Are Gone. It sucks Jiggle Jiggle never got another chance, but the other 2 I couldn't care less. Easy Lover debuted, while Substance and Wait For U find themselves in the abyss.

Running up that blurb:

This week we lost Sweetest Pie and 10 things i hate about you. They were both super annoying so I'm glad they're gone.

Love Me More is the most boring generic song ever. How is this even here?

Can ⛪and 👵 go away please?

Bones, Out Of Time, and Maybe You're The Problem are starting to get really annoying.

How is Numb Little Bug still here? It should have left like a month ago.

Boyfriend has been here way too long.

i feel everything has only jumped 4 spots since its debut. I think it'll quickly leave after it's done being the 1TW. 

Yay, Sunroof is still #1! But Late Night Talking jumped to #2 so it'll probably be #1 next week.

Bye for now, see you all next week!
