My Top 10 Worst Songs of 2022

 With 2022 almost over, it's time to take a look at the 10 worst songs of the year. 2022 was a super mediocre year for music, so choosing my bottom 10 was a cinch. Before we get to the top 10, let's take a look at some songs that weren't quite bad enough to reach my top 10 with my dishonorable mentions.

Dishonorable Mention #1:

TO THE MOON - Jnr Choi/Sam Tompkins

Drill music has no business being anywhere near pop radio. Also wtf is that album cover!?

Dishonorable Mention #2:

I AM WOMAN - Emmy Meli

A super annoying woman empowerment song. Also the title doesn't make sense grammatically.

Dishonorable Mention #3:

GHOST TOWN - Benson Boone

An extremely boring ballad and Benson Boone sounds worse than Lewis Capaldi.

Dishonorable Mention #4:

Oh My God - Adele

Oh my God, this song was super overplayed and annoying.

Dishonorable Mention #5:

Woman - Doja Cat

This was insanely annoying and the lyrics suck, she's just saying woman over and over again. 

With the dishonorable mentions done, let's start at #10.

#10: Fingers Crossed - Lauren Spencer-Smith

This is literally a carbon copy of Lewis Capaldi's Before You Go, expect with a female singer. Lauren Spencer-Smith sounds terrible, she sounds like a female version of Lewis Capaldi. She's oversinging way too much, and she's practically screaming in the chorus. The production is identical to Before You Go, just a basic guitar ballad. Not a great first impression to Lauren Spencer-Smith, but luckily Flowers was way better than this.

#9: Lift Me Up - Rihanna

With this song only being out for a few weeks, I wondered if I should include it or not, but I ended up including up because it was so bad. We haven't had any music from Rihanna since 2017, and this garbage is her first comeback hit? This was made for the Wakanda movie, and I'm not sure why it became a hit. This song is just unbelievably boring. The production is non existent and doesn't evolve at all throughout the song. And then there's Rihanna herself. She sounds absolutely terrible. She's way oversinging in the chorus and she overall does not sound great. 

#8: I Like You (A Happier Song) - Post Malone/Doja Cat

Geeze, where to begin with this one? First of all, Doja Cat is in it which automatically makes it bad. Secondly, this song is just super annoying and lasted way too long. It entered the countdown on Jun 11, and as of Nov 26 it's still on the countdown with no signs of leaving anytime soon. The production is super annoying and not that good, and Post Malone and Doja Cat both sound terrible.

#7: Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo

Wow what an annoying song. The high pitched "He don't love me no more"s in the beginning are super annoying. The 60s style production is kinda interesting, but it's super annoying. And then there's Omar Apollo. His voice is extremely bad and he needs to stay away from making music.

#6: i feel everything - Amelia Moore

Apparently Amelia Moore dropped out of college to pursue a career in music. She should have stayed in college, because she cannot sing at all. She has way too much autotune on her voice, which means she can't actually sing. And then there's the production. My god it is horrendous. The opening "Checking if you have a pulse" is super annoying. And then in the chorus she's literally screaming. A terrible song that I'm glad flopped after her one to watch was over.

#5: So Good - Halsey

I don't have the best track record with Halsey. She's had some great songs, and some really bad ones. And this is the latter. The production is super bland and basic. And then there's Halsey. She's way oversinging and sounds terrible. And by the chorus, she's practically yelling. And this spent way too long on the countdown at 23 weeks. C'mon Halsey, I know you can do better than this.

#4: Glimpse Of Us - Joji ⛪

There's a reason we call this song a church hymn. This sounds like it belongs in a church. There's even some hymns that I sing in church that are more upbeat than this. There's zero production here. It's just a few piano keys and that's all. There's no evolution in the song at all. Then there's Joji. He's singing way too high and sounds terrible.

#3: I'm Tired - Labrinth/Zendaya

The title of this song is how I feel after listening to it - very tired. I really liked Labrinth's song with Noah Cyrus in 2017 Make Me Cry, so I thought this one would also be good. Nope! The production is non existent. It starts to pick up in the chorus but disappears during the verses. And my god does Labrinth sound terrible. He can't hit a note to save his life. He's singing way too high for his vocal range and ends up shrieking for some notes. I'm pretty sure I could sing better than him. And Zendaya sounds really great here, but she only comes in for the final chorus. Why couldn't she have sang this song instead of Labrinth? It would have been 1000x better.

#2: Sweetest Pie - Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa 

When I first heard about the announcement of this song, I was excited. I loved Megan Thee Stallion's other song Savage, and I love all of Dua Lipa's music. So what could possibly go wrong? Everything! Everything about this song is garbage. The trap beat is one of the most lazy and boring I've ever heard. And the lyrics are way too sexual. Then there's Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa. They sound awful. It's like they're half singing and not even trying. And the fact that this song played every 5 minutes made it one of the most annoying songs of the year.

And my #1 worst song of 2022 is...

...

...

...

Drumroll please

...

...

... 

#1: Enemy - Imagine Dragons/J.I.D.

"Oh, the misery. Everybody wants to be my enem-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Well, if you've been following my blog for a while, then you knew this was coming. I actually used to be a huge fan of ID. It's Time was and still is one of my favorite songs of all time. Then in 2017 they released one of the worst albums I've ever heard Evolve. Whatever It Takes, Believer, and Thunder were some of the worst songs of 2017. And they continue to make mediocre album after mediocre album. Then they released this song in late 2021 which is by far their worst song. Where do I even start? For starters, this song only uses two chords. While other songs can make two chords work, here it just comes off as lazy. And then there's those stupid bass guitar strings in the beginning and in the chorus that are super annoying. And how could I forget about Dan Reynolds? My god he sounds terrible. He's singing in a really weird falsetto and it's super annoying. Somehow, this song does have one redeeming quality, and that's JID. His rap verse comes in at the end and my god is it amazing. His flow is amazing and I don't think he even takes one breath throughout it. If this song was just JID's verse, it would have been 1000x better.

Well, I guess that does it for now. Stay tuned for my top 10 best songs of 2022 in the coming weeks and also my 2022 year in review coming out sometime in Jan.

Debuts:

2 abyss songs debuted this week. First up is The Loneliest by Måneskin. I wasn't a big fan of this song when it first came out, but it's grown on me a little. It's a ballad, which is surprising because Maneskin usually makes fun rock songs. But this one's still pretty good. It starts out slow, but by the end it gets pretty interesting. A pretty good song, and I hope it grows on me more.

 Our second abyss debut comes is Sex, Drugs, Etc. by Beach Weather. I am in love with this song, and would be in purple if it weren't for the next debut. This song's actually from 2016 but just now got popular. This is a really nice alt song. The production is so catchy and cool. And while I usually don't like screaming in the chorus, it actually works really well for this song.

Last up is Eyes On You by one hit wonder Nicky Youre. Hits 1 for some reason always has to pick up on songs from one hit wonders. This song is pretty much Sunroof part 2. It's basically the same song, but 10x more catchy. Seriously, this song is such a bop and I can't stop listening to it. The production is just super fun and catchy, and I really like Nicky Youre's unique voice.

Hitbound:

Die For You - Joji {4}

Sober - jxdn {2}

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta {5}

Born Again - Rihanna {3}

Used To - Lila Drew {2}

Rock And A Hard Place - Bailey Zimmerman {4}

Weapons - Ava Max {3}

Eyes On You - Nicky Youre {Sunday Best}

If Jesus Was A Rockstar - Kim Petras {2}

i'm yours - Isabel LaRosa {2}

No Love For You - Regard/Drop G {4}

It's Been So Long - K. Flay (Debut)

Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter {6}

The DJ Is Crying For Help - AJR {2}

Tukoh Taka - Nicki Minaj/Maluma/Myriam Fares {2}

Silver Tongues - Louis Tomlinson {3}

Only one debut this week. It is It's Been So Long by K. Flay. This song's pretty good. It's a nice little vibey indie song, but nothing that special.

Exits:

Before You - Benson Boone {4}

I'm glad this boring Benson Boone ballad left.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

fmk - GAYLE/blackbear 

Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo 

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter

Sleepwalking - All Time Low

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

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

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood

Sex, Blurbs, Etc:

We lost So Good, Sleepwalking, and Billie Eilish. Good riddance to So Good, I didn't think it was ever gonna leave. Sleepwalking was an amazing song and deserved better. And Billie Eilish lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, I thought it was gonna be a one weeker.

Calm Down is somehow still here despite having a really bizarre countdown run.

Hopefully this is Super Annoying Girl's last week here.

I Like You has been here for over 6 months and it's still in the top 15.

Everyone's favorite tongue biting song is finally in the top 10.

With I’m Good out of the top 5, it looks like it won't hit #1. RIP.

Why is MFASR still in the top 5 after being bottom 5 in airplay?

To no one's surprise, Taylor Overrated Swift remains at #1 this week. Expect this song to be #1 for a long time. Swifties are rigging the polls and I don't see any other songs on the countdown dethroning it. Will it break the #1 record held by Shivers? Who knows. But if anyone could break it, it would be Taylor Swift.

Bye for now, see you all next week!

Taylor Swift (1) - Week Of Nov 19, 2022

Debuts...or I guess re-entries:

No new debuts this week, just 2 re-entries. Sleepwalking has grown on me a lot since it left, so I'm really happy it's back. uh oh has faded on me a bit but it's still great so I'm fine that it's back.

Hitbound:

Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter {5}

Silver Tongues - Louis Tomlinson {2}

No Love For You - Regard/Drop G {3}

i'm yours - Isabel LaRosa (Debut)

Born Again - Rihanna {2}

If Jesus Was A Rockstar - Kim Petras (Debut)

Sober - jxdn (Debut)

Weapons - Ava Max {2}

Die For You - Joji {3}

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta {4}

Eyes On You - Nicky Youre (Debut)

Tukoh Taka - Nicki Minaj/Maluma/Myriam Fares (Debut)

The DJ Is Crying For Help - AJR (Debut)

Rock And A Hard Place - Bailey Zimmerman {3}

Used To - Lila Drew (Debut)

Before You - Benson Boone {4}

Wow, 7 debuts, let's get started.

2 debuts from people I've never heard of. First up is Isabel LaRosa with i'm yours. Daniel from the Discord server introduced me to this song a few weeks ago, so I was already somewhat familiar with it. This song's kinda slow but the production is pretty interesting and Isabel sounds great.

Next is Lila Drew with Used To. This song is just super weird and I'm not sure why this is here.

Kim Petras is back with If Jesus Was A Rockstar. The production is pretty upbeat but nothing special and Kim sounds decent.

Ok this song is just downright bizarre. It's Tukoh Taka by Nicki Minaj, Maluma, and Myriam Fares. Apparently this song was made for the FIFA World Cup. The production is actually really good, but I am not loving the vocals. They're just repeating "Tukoh Taka" over and over again and it's very strange.

I was hoping this song would debut hitbound, and it did. It's Sober by jxdn. The pop punk production from Travis Barker is amazing and jxdn sounds great.

AJR just released a new song, so of course Hits 1 has to pick up on it. It's The DJ Is Crying For Help. This song is a bit slower than AJR's usual songs, but I still love it. It starts out slow, then a violin starts playing and it starts to get interesting. And the Met brothers sound great as always.

Now saving the best for last, we have Eyes On You by Nicky Youre. And my oh my, this song is a bop. I thought Sunroof was fun, this is about 10x more fun. The production is insanely catchy and Nicky sounds great.

Exits:

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio

Narcissist - Avery Anna

10:35  - Tiesto/Tate McRae

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter

Never Gonna Not Dance Again - P!nk

10:35 and Never Gonna Not Dance Again got robbed and deserved better. if you ask me to finds itself in the abyss. And the rest weren't that great.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage

fmk - GAYLE/blackbear 

Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo 

THE LONELIEST - Måneskin 

Sex, Drugs, Etc. - Beach Weather

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood

Sleep-blurbin':

We lost Late Night Talking and Numb. Good riddance to Late Night Talking, I didn't think it was ever gonna leave. Numb was good but was getting really annoying so I'm glad it's gone.

Lift Me Up keeps dropping so hopefully that means it will leave soon.

Poor Calm Down. It keeps dropping and rising. Hits 1 apparently doesn't know what to do with it.

BILLIE EILISH is lasting a lot longer here than I thought it would.

If So Boring could leave soon that would be great.

I didn't realize Until I Found You is the 4th oldest song on the countdown. It really needs to leave soon.

It looks like I'm Good didn't hit #1 this week like I thought, and it probably never will.

Victoria's Secret is added to my ever growing list of songs blocked from #1.

Anti-Hero is #1 this week. This is kinda surprising, but not really considering that this is Taylor Swift and how much Hits 1 stans her. I really like this song, but I like Lavender Haze more. This song only took 4 weeks to reach #1, which actually ties it for 3rd quickest run to #1 in countdown history. #1 being good 4 u which took 2 weeks, Sucker took 3 weeks, and Shivers also took 4 weeks. I think this song will be #1 for a while unless Unholy can take the #1 spot again.

Bye for now, see you all next week!

Sam Smith/Kim Petras (1) - Week Of Nov 12, 2022

1: Late Night Talking - Harry Styles (24 weeks)

Debuts:

Avril Lavigne's back along with Yungblud with I'm A Mess. This song has grown a lot on me since it entered hitbound last week. The production starts out slow but builds nicely and gets really cool towards the end. And Avril and Yungblud both sound great.

Selena Gomez has a second song on the countdown with My Mind & Me. This song has grown a little on me after hearing it on Hits 1 a few times. The production is kinda boring but does get more interesting towards the end, and Selena sounds really great here.

Hitbound:

Die For You - Joji {2}

Weapons - Ava Max (Debut)

Rock And A Hard Place - Bailey Zimmerman {2}

Born Again - Rihanna (Debut)

Made You Look - Meghan Trainor (Sunday Best...again for a second week)

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio {3}

Silver Tongues - Louis Tomlinson (Debut)

I'm A Mess - Avril Lavigne/Yungblud (Sunday Best)

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta {3}

Before You - Benson Boone {3}

Narcissist - Avery Anna {4}

10:35  - Tiesto/Tate McRae {2}

Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter {4}

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter {2}

No Love For You - Regard/Drop G {2}

Never Gonna Not Dance Again - P!nk {2}

Ava Max is back with Weapons. This is easily her best song so far this year. The production is super fun and catchy, and Ava sounds amazing.

Rihanna's back...with another ballad! C'mon Rihanna, you can do better than this! Born Again is slightly better than Lift Me Up, but it's still not great. The production is just too slow and boring. And what is up with the outro, it's super weird and out of place.

Louis Tomlinson is back after the failure of Bigger Than Me with Silver Tongues. He released a song a month ago Out Of My System which I loved, and I'm kinda surprised Hits 1 didn't pick up on it. Silver Tongues is such a bop. It reminds me of indie pop songs from the 2010s. The production is super fun and upbeat and Louis sounds great.

Exits:

I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson {12}

Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean {8}

I Remember spent way too long in hitbound. And Common wasn't that great. 

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage

fmk - GAYLE/blackbear 

uh oh - Tate McRae

Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood

Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo 

My blurbs & me:

This week we lost Sleepwalking and Vegas. Sleepwalking was great and I'm not sure why it only lasted 4 weeks. And Vegas was here way too long so I'm glad it's finally gone.

Ok, I tried really hard to like Lift Me Up. I listened to it a bunch of times hoping it would grow on me, but it's just gotten worse. This song is just so incredibly boring, I can barely even listen to it, so it's now my least favorite song on the countdown. This song might even be worse than Glimpse Of Us. What happened Rihanna? You made some incredible songs in the 2000s and 2010s, what are you doing making these garbage ballads?

Why did So Boring just jump 4 spots? And why is Hate Night Toppling still here?

Music For A Sushi Restaurant dropped to #5. Good, go away Harry The Clown!!!

Anti Hero made a huge jump into the top 5, while Victoria's Secret jumped to #2. I really hope Victoria's Secret can get #1 next week, but Taylor or Sam will probably end up blocking it.

I'm Good didn't end up hitting #1 this week, which I'm sad about, and with the other songs that entered the top 5, I doubt it will.

To my utter amazement, Unholy jumped 7 spots to #1. I was totally not expecting this. I was convinced either I'm Good or Sushi Restaurant would be #1 this week. But I'm kinda glad Unholy was #1 this week instead. Unholy grew on me a lot this week, and it's now back as my favorite song on the countdown. It just slaps so hard, and the baseline is just really cool. Sam Smith can make some really cool songs when they're not boring. Speaking of Sam, this is their first #1 on the countdown since Stay With Me in 2014, and Kim Petras' first. 

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

Lizzo (3) - Week Of Nov 5, 2022

 

Hey guys, what's up? This was an okay week. One of the worst songs I've ever heard finally left, but one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard is still #1!

Most missed song: First Night of My Life - Lucas Prata/Lenny B (2012)

3: Numb - Marshmello/Khalid (21 weeks)

2: I Like You (A Happier Song) - Post Malone/Doja Cat (22 weeks)

1: Late Night Talking - Harry Styles (23 weeks)

Debuts:

Rihanna makes her first appearance on Hits 1 in 5 years since Wild Thoughts in 2017, with Lift Me Up. This song has grown on me a little since last week, but I'm still not a big of it. The production is just way too slow, the only thing that saves it is Rihanna's amazing voice.

Meghan Trainer's back after 3 years with Made You Look. It's pretty fun and upbeat, like her earlier songs like All About That Bass. This song has grown a little on me this past week, but something tells me this song's gonna get really annoying really quickly.

After being in the abyss for weeks, BILLIE EILISH by Armani White finally debuts. It's slightly faded on me, but I still love it, and it's easily the best song on the countdown. This song just slaps so hard. I just wish it was longer, it's barely a minute and a half long.

Hitbound:

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter (Debut)

Never Gonna Not Dance Again - P!nk (Debut)

I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson 

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio 

10:35 - Tiesto/Tate McRae (Debut)

Narcissist - Avery Anna

Made You Look - Meghan Trainor (Sunday Best)

I'm A Mess - Avril Lavigne/Yungblud (Debut)

No Love For You - Regard/Drop G (Debut)

My Mind & Me - Selena Gomez (Debut)

Before You  - Benson Boone

Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean

Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter

Die For You - Joji (Debut)

Rock And A Hard Place - Bailey Zimmerman (Debut)

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta

Ewwww, I don't think anyone asked for more Joji. He's back with Die For You. Yeah, this song really sucks, maybe even more than Glimpse Of Us. It's insanely boring, and the song does not evolve whatsoever, and Joji sounds terrible. This better not become a hit.

P!nk's back on Hits 1 after 3 years after Walk Me Home in 2019, with Never Gonna Not Dance Again. This song is insanely fun and P!nk sounds great. Hopefully this can become a hit.

Bruh, Hits 1, can you stop trying to make Havanna Winter a thing? She's back with Hollywood Forever. This is way better than rain rain go away and Heaven to Me. The production's pretty upbeat and Havanna sounds decent.

Tiesto and Tate McRae team up for 10:35. I am in love with this song. It reminds me a lot of The Motto from earlier this year. The production from Tiesto is really cool and Tate sounds great.

Avril Lavigne's back along with Yungblud, with I'm A Mess. This one's pretty good. It's a really good ballad from Avril, it reminds me a lot of her other ballads in the 2000s, Complicated and My Happy Ending. Avril and Yungblud both sound great, and I really like the pop punk production. I wouldn't mind if this became a hit.

Selena Gomez is finally back with her first solo song in 2 years, with My Mind & Me. I'm not really a big fan of this. The production is extremely slow and doesn't evolve that much. Selena sounds decent but is oversinging in some parts.

Regard is back with No Love For You. This is a really cool EDM song. I really like Regard's production and the drop is really cool. Also, this song sounds almost exactly the same as The Business from last year.

Last is country singer Bailey Zimmerman making his first appearance on Hits 1 with Rock And A Hard Place. This is a pretty good country song, but I'm not sure why Hits 1 picked up on it.

Exits:

Bad Idea - Dove Cameron

dumb dumb - mazie

LOVE ABOUT IT - Waterparks/blackbear

Heaven to Me - Havanna Winter

SIMPLY THE BEST - Black Eyed Peas/Anitta/El Alfa

100 degrees - kenzie 

WDIA (Would Do It Again) - Rosa Linn/Duncan Laurence 

C'mon, Hits 1, Simply The Best deserved more than 1 week in hitbound! The rest I don't really care about.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage

fmk - GAYLE/blackbear 

uh oh - Tate McRae

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood 

Sweater Weather isn't technically in the abyss, but it is getting a significant amount of airplay, and I love it, so I'm counting it.

Made you blurb:

We lost Wrapped Around Your Finger (for a second time), Don’t Let The Light Go Out, and Evergreen. Good riddance, Evergreen is finally gone. Don’t Let The Light Go Out really sucked so I'm glad it's gone. And I'm not sure why Wrapped Around Your Finger left as it was still getting a lot of airplay.

Okay, why did Hate Night Toppling jump 5 spots?

Calm Down has been here for almost 10 weeks and hasn't gotten higher than #23.

I would really like for I’m Good to hit #1 instead of 🍣.

And Lizzo is annoyingly still at #1. This song really needs to leave #1 (and the countdown) soon before I hate it. 

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

Taking A Look At The Top 20 Least Streamed Hits 1 Songs

Hey guys, what's up? This is something a little different. A few months ago, HrishK made a post of the top 50 most streamed songs on Spotify, and I wanted to do something similar. So I decided to do the top 20 least streamed songs. Now, there's way too many songs on Spotify, so it would be impossible to find the top 20 least streamed songs of all time, so I just decided to only do songs that were on the weekend countdown. Before we get to the top 20, I want to look at some songs that didn't quite make the list, but I was surprised at how low they listed.

#33: Anaya Birla - Let There Be Love

Streams: 598,648

Released: 2020

Streams: 983,286

Released: 2012

Blurb: I know this song wasn't the most popular, but I used to dance to this song all the time on Just Dance. A really fun song that definitely deserves more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

#57: Shaylen - Goodbye

Streams: 1,362,607

Released: 2020

Blurb: Easily one of the most forgettable songs ever on Hits 1, lasting only one week. This was good, but not as good as I Try by Macy Gray that this song samples.

4/5 = Good

#80: Amelia Moore - i feel everything

Streams: 2,384,388

Released: 2022

Blurb: This song was terrible, and definitely deserved to be this low.

0/5 = Awful

Alright, with the honorable mentions out of the way, let's start the countdown at #20. For each song, I'm going to give a brief history of each artist and also my opinions on the songs.

20: Allstar Weekend - Life As We Know It

Streams: 168,919

Released: July 3, 2012

Streams: 138,169

Released: Mar 20, 2012

Blurb: Josh Baze is a hip hop artist from Brooklyn, New York, who works with Griffin Guess, a music producer who has also worked with Kanye West, Jay Z, 50 Cent, and Eminem. This was a pretty upbeat rap song, and Josh sounds pretty good.

Streams: 113,104

Released: May 2, 2006

4/5 = Good

14: Saving Jane - One Girl Revolution

Streams: 99,016

Released: August 7, 2007

Blurb: Poor Saving Jane, they're on this list twice! Much like Happy, it's a pretty good pop punk song but nothing that special.

4/5 = Good

13: Young & Divine - Shake That Bubble

Streams: 93,312

Released: March 23, 2010

Blurb: Young & Divine is an electronica power pop band from Albany, New York. This is a really cool indie rock song.

Blurb: I Nine is a pop rock band from Orangeburg, South Carolina. After making a song for the film Elizabethtown, they released this song, which was chosen by iTunes as the service's "free single of the week". This is a really cool pop punk song, and singer Carmen Keigans sounds almost like Avril Lavigne. 

5/5 = Amazing

11: Kelsi Luck - That's What I Like

Streams: 73,967

Released: July 16, 2013

Blurb: Wow, talk about a one song wonder! Kelsi Luck has only made one song - this one. Apparently, she made this song just for Hits 1, and also sang a cover of Chocolate by The 1975. And she also has songwriting credits on Pale Waves' 2022 album Unwanted. This song was pretty upbeat and fun, but Kelsi's voice is slightly annoying.

4/5 = Good

10: Lucas Prata/Lenny B - First Night of My Life

Streams: 67,643

Released: Jan 2, 2012

Blurb: Lucas Prata is best known for his dance hits in the 2000s. Wow, this is a really cool EDM song, and the drop is amazing. I'm shocked this doesn't have more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

Streams: 50,863

Released: May 16, 2006

Blurb: Ashley Parker Angel was a former member of the boy band O-Town in the early 2000s. This song's kinda slow but decent, and his voice is decent.

Released: November 23, 2009

Blurb: Vita Chambers is a Barbadian-Canadian singer. She got her start posting songs on MySpace, and in November 2009, performed in the Thanksgiving Day NFL half-time show. This is a pretty good electro pop song, and Vita sounds great.

4/5 = Good

7: Big Heed and Alien - Tipsy (8 Bar Remix)

Streams: 47,878

Released: Mar 11, 2011

Blurb: Another one song wonder, this is Big Heed and Alien's only song, and it was made just for Hits 1. They consist of Shaheed “Heed” Smith & Ali “Alien” Warren. They've performed for artists like B.O.B., Andre 3000, and Cee-Lo Green. This is a pretty fun electro pop song.

Released: Feb 27, 2007

Blurb: Tiffany Affair was a girl group consisting of Ayanna, Bianca, Gabrielle, and Natasha. On June 4, 2007, they sang the Star Spangled Banner at the NASCAR Nextel Cup Autism Speaks 400. This is a pretty fun R&B song and everyone here sounds great.

Streams: 46,362

Released: Sep 20, 2013

Blurb: Honor Society was a pop rock band that formed in New York City in 2006. They were signed with Jonas Records and toured with the Jonas Brothers. This is a pretty good pop rock song, and reminds me a lot of the Jonas Brothers' older songs.

Streams: 42,151

Released: July 6, 2010

Blurb: Bret Michaels was the singer for the 80s band Poison, which you might know for the song Every Rose Has Its Thorn. This is a solid country rock song, not unlike Walker Hayes' Fancy Like.

Streams: 18,939

Released: June 16, 2009

Blurb: Just Kait got their start by winning a contest for creating a new theme song for the reality show Parental Control. This is a super fun pop punk song, and definitely deserves more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

And the least streamed Hits 1 song of all time is...

1: A Girl Called Jane - He's Alive

Streams: 1,690

Released: Apr 21, 2007

Blurb: Here we go, at just a little over 1,000 streams, we have the least streamed song ever on Hits 1. I could not find much information about this band. For the third time, this is the only song that this band has ever released. But I did find out something interesting on their wiki. Apparently, they were originally going to sing the song Umbrella, and even shot a music video for it, but in the end Rihanna ended up singing it. Who knows, if they ended up singing Umbrella, A Girl Called Jane could have ended up more famous. The song itself is really good. I really like the electro pop production and singer Nora Dalal sounds great. This definitely deserves way more streams.

5/5 = Amazing

Well, looks like that's it. I hope you discovered some new artists and songs, I know I did. I have a few more ideas floating around that I want to do, like top 20 most/least streamed hitbound dropouts, but we'll see. Bye for now!

Can JVKE not become a thing, please?

Yes, Billie Eilish is such a bop, I just wish it was longer than a minute an a half.

World's Smallest Violin is also a bop, I'm glad it's finally on AT40.

Ewww, 2 Doja Cat songs in the top 5.

Ass It Was and About Damn Time also need to leave the top 5, and the countdown.
