Debuts:

You gotta be kidding me, Evergreen came back!?!?!?!?!?!!? Bruh, this really did not have to happen. Lift Me Up is still on the countdown, so this song is saved from the orange song treatment for now.

We finally have a new one to watch after the disaster of Amelia Moore, it's K. Flay with It's Been So Long. I really liked Blood In The Cut from 2017 and I love this one too. This song has really grown on me the past week after Hits 1 played it a few times. The production is so groovy and catchy and I really like K. Flay's voice. 

Sabrina Carpenter is back on the countdown after Skin last year, with Nonsense. This also has grown on me a lot. Is it me or does this sound exactly like an Ariana Grande song? Sabrina sounds almost identical to Ari, and the production reminds me of Positions or something. 

Lastly, making its way out of the abyss is fmk by GAYLE and blackbear. I'm not really loving this one. Gayle and blackbear both sound great, but the production is just way too boring for me to get into. 

Hitbound:

Special - Lizzo {2}

Hero - Martin Garrix/JVKE (Debut)

i'm yours - Isabel LaRosa {4}

Creepin' - Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage (Debut)

Shirt - SZA (Debut)

Weapons - Ava Max {5}

Pointless - Lewis Capaldi {2}

Used To - Lila Drew {4}

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta {7}

Paper Crown - Alec Benjamin {2}

Dreamers - Jung Kook/BTS/Fifa Sound {2}

No Love For You - Regard/Drop G {6}

ESCAPISM. - RAYE/070 Shake (Debut)

Hate You - Jordi {2}

Tukoh Taka - Nicki Minaj/Maluma/Myriam Fares {4}

Die For You - Joji {6}

Martin Garrix makes his return to Hits 1 after Summer Days in 2019, with Hero with JVKE. Mikey Piff pointed it out and now I can't unhear it, it sounds a lot like Imagine Dragons, but nope it's JVKE singing. The production is super cool, it reminds me of Riptide by The Chainsmokers.

Next is Creepin' by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage. This is fine. The Weeknd and 21 Savage both sound great, but the production is just way too boring.

Yay, just what we needed, more Snooza! SZA just released a new album, and Shirt is the next single. This is decent. SZA sounds decent, and the production is kinda interesting but still kinda boring. This is definitely way better than I Hate U earlier this year.

Lastly is ESCAPISM by RAYE, who you might remember from the song BED with Joel Corry last year, and 070 Shake. This song is decent. RAYE sounds great here but this song is just way too weird for me.

Exits:

Paralyzed - Big Time Rush {1}

These Nights - Loud Luxury/KIDDO {1}

RIP Paralyzed you will be greatly missed. These Nights was pretty good but I don't mind that it's gone.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

if you ask me to - charli d'amelio

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

Lavender Haze - Taylor Swift

Simply The Best - Black Eyed Peas/Anitta/El Elfa 

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood

It's Blurbed So Long:

We lost The Loneliest, Bad Habit, Until I Found You, and Hold Me Closer. The Loneliest deserved better. The other 3 were getting super annoying so I'm glad they're gone.

After being on the countdown for over 6 months, I Like You is finally starting to drop. Hopefully this leaves soon.

I'm surprised Sex, Drugs, Etc managed to jump, hopefully this can stick around a while longer.

Why did Bore Me Up jump so much? This really does not need to be here.

Eyes On You got a huge jump, I really hope this can get #1.

Super Annoying Girl does not need to be jumping.

Victoria's Secret really does not need to re-enter the top 5.

Nice to see STAR WALKIN' enter the top 3, hopefully this can dethrone Anti Hero.

And of course Taylor The Clown is still #1. Anti Hero is getting slightly annoying, this better leave #1 soon.

And that does it for now, see you all next week!
