Countdown Extra: MANIAC - Macklemore, Windser 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - Lizzo (+7). Lol, Lizzo had both the biggest jump and biggest drop. This song is way better than About Damn Time, so I'm happy it jumped this far.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: About Damn Time - Lizzo (-8). This song has started to get very annoying, so hopefully it's on its way out.

Last year's #1 song: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (4/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Love Tonight - Shouse

Least favorite song last year: Essence - WizKid/Justin Bieber/Tems

Most missed countdown song: 1901 - Phoenix (2009)

Most missed Hitbound dropout: Everybody Else - Care Bears On Fire (2009)

Debuts:

Zedd and Maren Morris are back together after 2018's The Middle, which sucked. Luckily, Make You Say is much better. I really like the production, it's super fun, I especially like the chorus.

Panic replaced themselves with Don't Let The Light Go Out. It's good, but Middle Of A Breakup is so much better. The production is kinda slow, but Brendon Urie sounds good.

After being in the abyss for months, Grand by Kane Brown finally debuts. After hearing this song a few times, I quite like it now. The trap country production isn't too bad and Kane sounds good too.

Hitbound:

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson 

I Remember - Cheat Codes, Russell Dickerson (Debut)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Calm Down (Remix) - REMA, Selena Gomez (Debut)

MANIAC - Macklemore, Windser 

29 - Demi Lovato

Run Away to Mars - TALK (Debut)

Emotional - Ashe (Debut)

sun and moon - anees (Debut)

dead inside - blackbear (Debut)

Cross Your Mind - ROLE MODEL (Debut)

Last Last - Burna Boy 

Don't Let The Light Go Out - Panic! At The Disco (SB)

Hold Me Closer - Elton John, Britney Spears (Debut)

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy 

Heaven - Bazzi (Debut)

Cheat Codes is back after last year's Hurricane, I Remember with country singer Russell Dickerson. This is a really fun EDM country song, similar to One Thing Right by Kane Brown and Marshmello in 2019. 

Can we please not have more afropop? We have Calm Down by REMA and Selena Gomez. This Rema guy is not very good. This song sounds very similar to CKay's love nwantiti from last year. Selena is the only saving grace of this song.

Next is a song that was released last year, it's Run Away to Mars by TALK. It's okay, I guess. The production's kinda boring but this Talk guy sounds alright.

Ewwww, not more Ashe! We have her latest song Emotional. This song is super strange. It has a weird Latin country vibe, I don't even know how to describe it. This actually might be my favorite Ashe song, this song is actually kinda fun.

Next is some guy named anees with sun and moon. This guy sounds very similar to Tai Verdes (he might even sound better). This song is alright. The production is kinda boring but anees sounds alright.

blackbear is back again with dead inside. I really like the punk rock production here, but I think I like toxic energy more.

Remember ROLE MODEL? He had a song 2 years ago called Going Out. He's back with Cross Your Mind. This song is way better than Going Out. It's pretty fun, and Role Model sounds pretty good.

This next song's been hyped for ages, it's Hold Me Closer by Elton John and Britney Spears, which samples Tiny Dancer. I'm slightly disappointed in this. I was expecting more. The production is kinda basic, and Elton and Britney have weird effects on their voice. This song is definitely way better than Cold Heart, though.

No, please not more Bazzi!!! He's back with Heaven. Actually, this song is kinda good. It's definitely way better than Will It Ever Feel The Same.

Exits:

Drowsy - OHNO 

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa 

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore 

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

Obsessed - Calvin Harris/Charlie Puth/Shenseea 

Pink Venom and Snap are in the abyss. Ferrari deserved better. The rest I don't care about.

Abyss:

Running Up That Hill 👵 - Kate Bush 

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Unstoppable - Sia 

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

World's Smallest Violin - AJR

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

_World - SEVENTEEN, Anne-Marie 

Can't Stop Us Now - Pitbull, Zac Brown 

Don't let the blurb go out:

We lost Me Myself & I, Middle Of A Breakup, and Supermodel. Me Myself & I got very annoying so I'm glad it's gone. Middle Of A Breakup deserved more than 3 weeks, and Supermodel was good but was starting to get old.

Um, why is ⛪ jumping?

Can When You're Gone leave please? It's been here way too long and is extremely annoying.

Can So Good not jump please?

Victoria's Secret made a nice jump into the top 10.

Maybe You're The Problem and Bones are getting super annoying. 

Numb jumped to #3. Please hit #1 next week!

Can Harry The Clown not be #1 please? Sunroof is #1 on Mediabase and AT40, so it deserves to still be #1 here too. Oh yeah, Hits 1 stans the crap out of Harry Styles!!!

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

Countdown Extra: love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Music For A Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles (+9) . Um, how? It got barely any airplay.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Me Myself & I - 5 Seconds Of Summer and So Good - Halsey (-11). Yes, these songs both suck.

Last year's #1: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (3/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Love Tonight - Shouse

Least favorite song last year: Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish

Most missed countdown song: One Of The Boys - Katy Perry (2008)

Least missed countdown song: Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars (2014)

Most missed hitbound dropout: Best Friend - Sofi Tukker (2018)

Least missed hitbound dropout: Girls Want Girls - Drake/Lil Baby (2021)

Debuts:

Nicki Minaj is back on the countdown since 2019's Dumb Blonde with Avril Lavigne, with Super Freaky Girl. This samples Super Freak by Rick James.  This song is super fun, and Nicki's rapping sounds good.

Russ finally has a song on the countdown, after Handsomer dropped out of hitbound earlier in the year. After hearing this song a few times, I've warmed up to it a little bit. The trap production is kinda annoying, but Russ and Ed Sheeran don't sound too bad.

Hitbound:

Drowsy - OHNO (re-entry)

29 - Demi Lovato (Debut)

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa 

MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser (Debut)

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK (Debut)

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

Don't Let The Light Go Out - Panic! At The Disco (Debut)

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore 

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Make You Say - Zedd/Maren Morris/BEAUZ (Debut)

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson (Debut)

Last Last - Burna Boy (Debut)

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

Obsessed - Calvin Harris/Charlie Puth/Shenseea 

Drowsy re-entered. Okay, I guess?

Next is Demi Lovato's newest song off of her new album Holy Fvck, called 29. This song is not very good. The production's kinda messy, and Demi's screaming like Amelia Moore in the chorus.

Next is Manic. No, not by Conan Grey, by Macklemore. It's been a while since Macklemore's been on Hits 1. I'm pretty sure the last time he was here was 2019's Summer Days. Anyways, this song's good, but Macklemore has made better songs than this.

Blackpink is back after 2020's Ice Cream, with Pink Venom. I know everyone hates this song, but I actually quite like it. The production's interesting and Blackpink doesn't sound that bad.

Panic! At The Disco's new album Viva Las Vengeance was just released, and we have Don't Let The Light Go Out. This one's pretty good. It's a bit on the slower side, but I really like the production. The melody sounds like it came from an 80s song or something.

Zedd and Maren Morris collabed again after the super annoying The Middle from 2018, with Make You Say. This is way better than The Middle. I really like the production, and Maren actually isn't annoying for once!

Next up is the Disney Channel star Sofia Carson with Come Back Home. This is fine, I guess. It's super boring, but Sofia sounds alright.

Hits 1, can we please stop picking up on Afropop, after the disaster that was Love Nwantiti? We have Last Last by Burna Boy. This song is alright. The production is kinda repetitive, but at least Burna Boy is singing, unlike CKay's mumble singing.

Exits:

what would you do? - Tate McRae

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

Her - Megan Thee Stallion

toxic energy - blackbear/The Used

American Psycho - Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd  

Life Sux - Leah Kate 

Her is in the abyss. what would you do, Life Sux, and toxic energy deserved better. I didn't really care for American Psycho or Staying Alive.

Abyss:

World's Smallest Violin - AJR 

Grand - Kane Brown 

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Daylight - Harry Styles 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg 

Unstoppable - Sia 

Can't Stop Us Now - Pitbull, Zac Brown

Massive - Drake  

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Her - Megan Thee Stallion 

He want a freaky blurb:

We lost Running Up That Hill and 2step. RUTH should never had debuted in the first place. 2step had a good run here, but got really annoying.

Um, Music For A Sushi Restaurant barely got one spin a day, how did it jump 9 spots? Oh yeah, Hits 1 stans Harry Styles!

Haha, ⛪fell 2 spots.

Yay, I Ain't Worried and Don't You Worry both jumped!

Left and Right jumped to #3. Hopefully it can hit #1 soon.

No way, Nicky Youre denied Harry The Clown #1 again! We need to keep fighting against the Harry stans!

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

Countdown Extra: Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Easy Lover - Ellie Goulding, Big Sean (+15). Yesss, this song is amazing.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) 👵(-12). Yes, burn baby burn.

Debuts:

First up is Bad Habit by Steve Lacy. This song's kinda weird, but it's a nice little chill song.

FLETCHER makes her way back onto the countdown since 2019's Undrunk, with Becky's So Hot. The production is pretty cool and FLETCHER sounds pretty good.

Jax is back on the countdown after last year's 90's Kids, with Victoria's Secret. Some people don't like this song, but I quite like it. I like the pop punk production, and the song has a really good message. 

After being in the abyss for months, Music For A Sushi Restaurant finally debuts. This song has faded on me a bit after hearing it for so long, but it's still really good. I really like the production here. It sounds like David Bowie or Prince or something. And since this is Harry Styles, it's probably going to reach #1.

Last Year's #1: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (2/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: i hope ur miserable until ur dead - Nessa Barrett

Least favorite song last year: Arcade - Duncan Laurence

Most missed countdown song: Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez (2011)

Most missed hitbound dropout: Momma Always Told Me - Mike Posner (2021)

Most missed song that never made it to Hits 1: Shots - Imagine Dragons (2015)

Hitbound:

Obsessed - Calvin Harris/Charlie Puth/Shenseea

what would you do? - Tate McRae

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore (Debut)

Her - Megan Thee Stallion (Debut)

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

toxic energy - blackbear/The Used

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy (Debut)

American Psycho - Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd  

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

Life Sux - Leah Kate 

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

Super Freaky Girl - Nicki Minaj (Debut)

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa (Debut)

Bad Habit - Steve Lacy (SB)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Hits 1, we don't need any more Amelia Moore. She's back with love me or leave me alone. I didn't think she could make a song worse than i feel everything, then this released. This song is just terrible. At least i feel everything had some redeemable qualities, like a groovy production. But the production here is super boring. And there's Amelia herself, she sounds terrible. She's whisper singing in the verses, and doing her signature screeching in the chorus. Hits 1, can we not make this a thing, please?

After one of the worst songs I've ever heard, we have one of the best. Megan Thee Stallion just released a new album, and we have Her. It seems like everyone's making house music nowadays. Drake, Beyonce, and now Megan. This song is just extremely fun and catchy. Megan sounds amazing, and I really like the chorus when the bass drops and it goes "her her her her her her, she she she she she". Just a super fun song and I hope it does well.

Remember The Eulogy Of You And Me from last year? LilHuddy, now called just Huddy, is back with All the Things I Hate About You. The punk rock production is good and Huddy sounds good.

Nicki Minaj has returned to Hits 1 after it seems like forever, with Super Freaky Girl. This song samples Super Freak by Rick James. The sample sounds really good and so does Nicki. 

Last up, we have Ferrari by James Hype and Miggy Dela Rosa. Apparently this song is #1 on BPM. This is a really fun dance song. The production by James Hype is really good and Miggy Dela Rosa sounds good too.

Exits:

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

Are You Entertained - Russ, Ed Sheeran 

Drowsy - OHNO 

Are You Entertained and Bad Decisions are in the abyss, and Drowsy is gone.

Abyss:

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith

Are You Entertained - Russ, Ed Sheeran 

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Grand - Kane Brown 

Unstoppable - Sia

Daylight - Harry Styles 

World's Smallest Violin - AJR 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

I know Victoria's blurbs:

We lost i feel everything, As It Was, Potion, and Massive. i feel everything was one of the worst songs I've ever heard. As It Was had a great run. Potion was painfully mediocre. Massive was good but not that memorable.

How did Middle Of A Breakup not move? It's #4 in airplay.

Bones is starting to get as annoying as Enemy.

Maybe You're The Problem is getting way too overplayed and it's super annoying. But it's still a good song.

Can When You're Gone go away please. It's been in the top 5 for what seems like months. 

I thought 2step would leave, but it got a huge drop this week. Hopefully it leaves next week, it's starting to get really annoying.

No! Don't You Worry dropped. But I'm happy I Ain't Worried jumped.

Wow, I was not expecting Sunroof to dethrone Harry Styles. Hopefully it can for at least a little while longer.

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

Recommendations for Hits 1:

History - Joel Corry ft. Becky Hill

All She Wanna Do - John Legend ft. Saweetie

MATERIAL GWORRLLLLLLLL! - Madonna & Saucy Santana

Debuts:

AJR is back on the countdown with I Won't. This isn't as good as Way Less Sad, but it's still super fun.

Next is Yung Gravy with Betty (Get Money). This song obviously Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley, and it's super fun.

Next is 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) by Lizzo. This song is just super fun, and has an amazing key change at the end. About Damn Time is starting to get annoying, so hopefully this replaces that soon.

After being in the abyss for months, I Ain’t Worried by OneRepublic finally debuts. This is super fun, and I love the whistling in the chorus. This would be in purple if it weren't for the next song.

I thought Hits 1 was gonna do this song dirty, but it finally debuted. It's Don't You Worry by Black Eyed Peas, David Guetta, and Shakira. This song is super nostalgic for me. It sounds like it came from 2009, when I was listening to the other BEP songs like I Gotta Feeling and Boom Boom Pow. 

Hitbound:

Bad Habit - Steve Lacy 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg (Debut)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter (Debut)

Victoria's Secret - Jax

Obsessed - Calvin Harris, Charlie Puth, Shenseea (Debut)

Are You Entertained - Russ, Ed Sheeran 

Life Sux - Leah Kate 

Becky's So Hot - FLETCHER 

Drowsy - OHNO 

Someone to Blame - Dixie

toxic energy - blackbear, The Used (Debut)

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui (Debut)

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled, Drake, Lil Baby (Debut)

what would you do? - Tate McRae (re-entry)

SNAP - Rosa Linn

American Psycho - Marshmello, Mae Muller, Trippie Redd  

First is Staying Alive by DJ Khaled, Drake, and Lil Baby. This song obviously samples the song Staying Alive. This song is just okay. This suffers from the same problems as Drake's other song Way 2 Sexy. A basic trap production with uninteresting vocals and a half-hearted sample.

Next is a case of where the hell does Hits 1 finds these songs? We have rain rain go away by Havanna Winter. Is it just me or does it sound exactly like La Di Die by Nessa Barrett? Havanna Winter sounds exactly like her, and the production is almost identical. This suffers from the same problems as La Di Die as in it's kinda boring, but it's still pretty good.

Next is Bad Decisions by Benny Blanco, BTS, and Snoop Dogg. I didn't have high hopes when I saw BTS was in this, but I was pleasantly surprised. BTS and Snoop Dogg both sound good and the production's pretty groovy.

Calvin Harris just released a new album Funk Wav Bounces Vol 2, and we have Obsessed featuring Charlie Puth and Shenseea. The production's pretty good, and Shenseea sounds good, but Charlie Puth has a very weird pitched down effect on his voice.

Next is Sucks to Know You by Mergui. This is just okay. The production's super generic and Mergui doesn't sound that good.

Next is toxic energy by blackbear and The Used. And holy cow, this song is amazing, and would be purple if it weren't for the next song. This is the best song blackbear has made so far. The punk rock production is just amazing. It sounds like a punk rock song that was released in 2004. 

Holy cow, I thought this song was gone forever. It's what would you do by Tate McRae, and it has re-entered hitbound. The production is just super fun and catchy and Tate sounds great.

Exits:

TV - Billie Eilish

SUMMER RENAISSANCE - Beyoncé

die first - Nessa Barrett

Valley of Lies - TOMORROW X TOGETHER, iann dior

Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto 

Grand - Kane Brown 

TV was super bad, and the rest I didn't really care about.

Abyss

Daylight - Harry Styles

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems

Life's Too Short - aespa

Unstoppable - Sia

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Don't You Blurb:

We lost 5 songs this week: Numb Little Bug, First Class, sheluvme, Boyfriend, and Out Of Time. sheluvme was super forgettable, I don't even remember what it sounds like. The other 4 were super old and annoying so I'm glad they're gone.

This might be the best countdown in a while. There's only 4 songs I hate, and 3 that are super old.

To no one's surprise, Harry Styles is #1 yet again because Hits 1 stans him so much. I actually do like this song, at least for now, it's way better than As It Was. But let's see how I feel the 15th week it's #1, which will probably happen.

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