Lights Over Paris Award:

This award is given to my favorite hitbound dropout.


Honorable Mention #1:

Boys Don't Cry - Anitta

The production was insanely catchy and it got a ton of airplay, but for some reason it never debuted.


Honorable Mention #2:

I'm Not Dead Yet - Mike Posner

I'm a huge Mike Posner stan, and this song does not disappoint. Another incredible EDM song from him. The drop is incredible, and I love Mike Posner's unique voice. 


Honorable Mention #3:

EDGING - blink-182

blink-182's failed comeback hit. I loved blink-182 in the 2000s, and I was happy that they got back together and released a song in 2022. The punk rock production from Travis Barker is incredible, and Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge both sound great. 


Winner:

Celestial - Ed Sheeran

I didn't know Ed Sheeran could make EDM, but I guess he needs to make more, because this song is a banger! The production is phenomenal and super catchy, and Ed sounds amazing as always. I really wish this song could have became a hit.


Anti-Lights Over Paris Award:

This award is given to my least favorite hitbound dropout.


Dishonorable Mention #1:

pushin P - Gunna/Future/Young Thug

Another horrible, boring mumble rap song that shouldn't have been anywhere near pop radio.


Dishonorable Mention #2:

Tom's Diner - AnnenMayKantereit/Giant Rooks

The remake of the classic Suzanne Vega song. This is barely even a song. First off, the sound quality is terrible, it sounds like it was recorded on someone's phone. And the voices, oh god the voices. Everyone sounds terrible. And the guy with the really deep voice is especially bad.


Dishonorable Mention #3:

All The Ashe Songs: omw, Emotional, Angry Woman, Hope You're Not Happy, and Another Man's Jeans

Hits 1 picked up on 5 Ashe songs, which is 5 too many. All of them sound exactly the same: horrible, boring, and weird. Hits 1, we do not need to make Ashe a thing.


Loser:

The 30th & TV - Billie Eilish

I swear Billie keeps trying harder and harder to make the most boring songs ever. I didn't think she could make a song more boring than Your Power. Then she released these 2 songs. They both sound identical. They're barely even songs, just a couple of guitar strings and Billie whisper singing. Of course Hits 1 had to pick up on these songs, they have to pick up on every Billie song. Thank god these songs did not debut, or they would have ended up in my worst list.

Best Song Hits 1 Never Picked Up On: 

C'est La Vie - Yung Gravy/bbno$/Rich Brian

This song was stupidly fun, but the lyrics are very inappropriate so I can see why the radio never picked up on this.
