Debuts:

After dropping out of hitbound and getting a remix, Boy's a liar Pt. 2 by PinkPantheress and Ice Spice debuts. I really like this one. The production is really catchy and PinkPantheress and Ice Spice both sound great.

After dropping out of hitbound a month ago and finally debuting is Reneé Rapp with Too Well. This has faded on me a bit but I still love it. The production is really catchy and Reneé sounds great.

Lizzo is back along with SZA with Special. The production is really fun and Lizzo and SZA both sound great.

Making its way out of the abyss is Kane Brown and wife Katelyn Brown with Thank God. This is a really nice country song. The production is great and Kane and Katelyn both sound great together.

9 debuts this week, so let's get started. 

First up is Niall Horan who's back after 2 years with Heaven. It's not my favorite song from him, but I still enjoy it. The production is on the slower but still really good and Niall sounds great as always.

Latto is back with Lottery. I hated Big Energy from last year, and luckily this is way better. The production is so insanely catchy and Latto and Lu Kala both sound great.

Bebe Rexha is finally back with a solo song with Heart Wants What It Wants. I really like this one. The production is really groovy and makes me want to rollerskate or something, and Bebe sounds amazing as always.

Everyone's favorite Tucker Pillsbury is back with a little more time. This is decent. The production is basic but enjoyable and ROLE MODEL sounds alright.

Great, just what we need, more JVKE. He's back with this is what heartbreak feels like. This is probably his "best" solo song so far, but that's not saying much. The production is just way too weird and JVKE does not have a good voice.

Next up is random #1 Mae Stephens with If We Ever Broke Up. This song is surprisingly good. The production is really catchy and Mae has a great voice.

Random #2 Patrick Martin is here with Dandelion Eyes. This is alright. The production is basic but upbeat and Patrick sounds alright.

Nessa Barrett is back with yet another death song, BANG BANG!. This is a banger. The production is really cool and catchy and I like the vocal effects on Nessa's voice.

Saving the best for last, we have Linkin Park making their return to Hits 1 after 6 years with Lost. Yes, yes, and more yes. This song is nothing short of incredible. This was actually recorded in 2003 and was meant to be put in their Meteora album, but didn't for some reason. But they decided to finally release it and here it is. I'm a huge Linkin Park stan, and was sad when Chester Bennington died in 2017 and we'd never get more music. After all these years it's so good to hear his voice again. You can obviously tell this song was from 2003, but that's what makes it great. It sounds a lot like Numb, which is my favorite song from them. The production on Lost is just so amazing and the vocals from Chester are amazing too. I really want this song to become big.

Exits:

Will Linley - Last Call {3}

Charlotte Sands - Alright {3}

Rita Ora - You Only Love Me {3}

Jessie Murph - What Happened to Ryan {1}

Havanna Winter - Death Wish {1}

INJI - THE ONE {2}

Casey Bishop - Blurry Vision {5}

None of these were really that great so I don't mind they're gone.

Abyss:

Havanna Winter - Hollywood Forever

Avery Anna - Narcissist

Panic! At The Disco - House Of Memories

Måneskin - THE LONELIEST

Stephen Sanchez/Em Beihold - Until I Found You (Remix)

P!nk - Never Gonna Not Dance Again 

Lonnie - One Night Stand

The Weeknd - Die For You

blurb's a liar:

We lost Forget Me, Anti-Hero, F64, and Die For You. Forget Me and Anti Hero were getting super annoying so I'm glad they're gone. F64 was great but kinda forgettable so I don't mind it's gone. And Die For You is one of the biggest songs right now, so I'm not sure why it only lasted 4 weeks.

Nice to see Love From The Other Side getting a big jump.

Evangeline had a huge jump even after having hardly any airplay.

Is ESCAPISM ever gonna do anything?

Good riddance to Made You Puke which finally leaves the top 10.

Bloody Mary entered the top 10. Okay, I guess?

After a month I finally have an orange song. golden hour is getting super annoying and overplayed and it really needs to leave soon.

Speaking of songs that really need to leave, uh oh jumped to #4 for some reason. This song got old like 2 months ago, why is it still here?

Eyes On You is still at #5 even though it took a huge hit in airplay.

Flowers is still #1 this week. I really hope it can keep blocking Lavender Haze from #1, but I wouldn't mind if Lavender Haze did hit #1. 

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