Taylor Swift (2) - Week Of Nov 26, 2022

Hey guys, what's up? Before we get to this week's countdown, I just wanted to let you know about my plans for my best and worst list for 2022. I've already starting working on my worst list, so that should be out within the next couple of days. My best list should be out within the next couple of weeks. And the 2022 year in review post will be out in Jan after the last countdown in Dec is aired. Also, I've already started working on the 2022 Ultimate Rank, where I rank every song that's been on Hits 1 in 2022, so expect to see that 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}

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

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.

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!
