Debuts:
First up is Lizzy McAlpine with ceilings. This has grown on me a little, but I still don't really like this. Lizzy has a great voice but the production is way too boring for me to get into.
Lastly is Tori Kelly with missin u, finally making her way onto the countdown since Hollow in 2016. This has grown on me a lot and gets the purple ranking. The production is so insanely fun and catchy and Tori has an amazing voice.

First up is the most anticipated debut in a while. Ed Sheeran is back with Eyes Closed. This is great but I was kinda expecting more. Ed sounds great but the production is kinda basic and lacking.
Shut Me Up re-entered. Hopefully this can do something this time.
EDM duo NOTD is back along with Maia Wright with AM:PM. They were last seen on Hits 1 with I Wanna Know in 2018 and So Close in 2019. The production is really catchy and Maia has great vocals.
Canadian duo Crash Adams is here with Give Me A Kiss. The production is really fun and their voices are great.
Fall Out Boy just released their new album So Much (For) Stardust, and here they are with What a Time To Be Alive. This song is so amazing I'm gonna let an AI review it for me: What a Time To Be Alive manages to seamlessly blend the band's signature pop punk sound with a catchy and danceable production that is sure to get you moving. From the moment the song begins, you can feel the energy and excitement building. But what really sets this song apart is the amazing vocals from frontman Patrick Stump. Stump's soaring voice is the perfect complement to the energetic production, and his ability to seamlessly switch between his smooth falsetto and gritty lower register is truly impressive. Overall, this song is a standout track from Fall Out Boy's discography, showcasing the band's ability to evolve their sound while still delivering the catchy hooks and powerful vocals that have made them a beloved band for over a decade. If you're looking for a song that will get you dancing and feeling optimistic about the future, look no further than this song.
Newcomer Toosii is here with Favorite Song. This is alright. The production is kinda generic and Toosii sounds ok.
Alright folks, one of the worst songs I have ever heard in my life has entered hitbound. It's FUMD by none other than my archnemesis Amelia Moore along with jxdn. This song is so bad I'm gonna let an AI describe how bad this song is: FUMD by Amelia Moore and jxdn is a song that unfortunately misses the mark on many levels. From the opening notes, the production is immediately ear-rapey, with a jarring electronic beat that is not only grating but also overwhelms the entire mix. The vocal effects on both Amelia Moore and jxdn's voices are also incredibly distracting and off-putting. It sounds like they're trying to mask their natural singing voices with heavy autotune and other effects, which results in a robotic, processed sound that lacks any kind of emotion or authenticity. Lyrically, FUMD is also lacking, with clichéd lines that feel lazy and uninspired. The chorus of "Fuck up my dreams" is repeated over and over again, making the song feel repetitive and one-dimensional. Overall, FUMD is a disappointing effort from Amelia Moore and jxdn. The production is grating, the vocal effects are distracting, and the lyrics are uninspired. While the intention may have been to create an edgy and rebellious track, the end result falls flat and is more likely to leave listeners feeling annoyed than anything else.
Exits:
Benson Boone - Sugar Sweet {2}
Taylor Swift - All Of The Girls You Loved Before {1}
Halsey - Bells in Santa Fe {1}
Mimi Webb - Freezing {2}
Nicky Youre - Found {2}
Sabrina Carpenter - Feather {1}
I was almost certain All Of The Girls You Loved Before would debut the countdown, but it finds itself in the abyss. Freezing was amazing and deserved better. Found got replaced by a better song from him. And the rest I didn't really care about.
Abyss:
The Weeknd/Ariana Grande - Die For You (Remix)
Harry Styles - Daylight
Havanna Winter - Death Wish
Morgan Wallen - Last Night
charlieonnafriday - That's What I Get
Nicky Youre - Eyes On You
Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her
Macklemore/Collett - No Bad Days
Taylor Swift - All Of The Girls You Loved Before
Reneé Rapp - Too Well
Miley Cyrus/Brandi Carlile - Thousand Miles
Miguel - Sure Thing
Too Well is back in the abyss. Hopefully it can come back.
Thousand Miles by Miley Cyrus and someone named Brandi Carlile entered the abyss. This is alright, but not as good as River.
Great, another old song is becoming popular again. Miguel is here with a song from 2010, Sure Thing. This is alright. The production is pretty catchy and Miguel sounds alright.
So Much (For) Blurbs:
We lost Made You Look and Enough. Good riddance to Made You Puke, it got super annoying. Enough was great but was getting kinda annoying too.
this is what heartbreak feels like is starting to grow on me, so it gets saved from the orange ranking.
Good riddance to Creepin', it's off the survey and starting to drop. This song is getting super annoying and it now gets the orange ranking (sorry HrishK).
Bruh, Nobody Gets Me has only gotten like 14 spins each week the past 3 weeks yet it's somehow still in the top 10.
Love From The Other Side got a huge boost in airplay, hopefully this can reach the top 10 next week.
Special is top 10 in airplay yet it drops 3 spots.
Heaven keeps creeping higher and higher. Can Niall get his first #1 song in 3 years?
Lottery jumped into the top 5. Ok, then.
I've been waiting 3 long years for this. An EDM song is finally #1 again since Come & Go 3 years ago! 10:35 is finally #1, giving Tiesto and Tate McRae their first ever #1 song on the countdown. This song is starting to fade on me a bit but I'm so happy it finally managed to overthrow Flowers from #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
