Debuts:

NF is back on the countdown since Time in 2020 with Happy. This has grown on me over the past week. The production is solid and really catchy and NF sounds great.

The Jonas Brothers replace themselves with Waffle House. This is way better than Wings, and it's actually not a song fragment this time. The production is super fun and catchy and the brothers sound great.

Alright 10 debuts, let's get started!

Good riddance FUMD finally left, but unfortunately we have a much worse song debuting. Two of my least favorite artists, Labrinth and Billie Eilish, have collabed on Never Felt So Alone. Yeah, this one really sucks. The production is super weird and annoying and garbage and Labrinth and Billie Eilish both sound terrible. Please don't let this become a hit like I'm Tired.

On a better note Post Malone is back and this one is a banger, it's Chemical. This is a perfect summer song. The production is super fun and catchy and Post Malone sounds great.

I don't think anyone asked for more JP Saxe, but here he is with I Don't Miss You. This is alright but I think Soft Landing was much better. The production and JP's voice are both alright.

Maisie Peters makes her Hits 1 debut with Lost the Breakup. And oh yes this is a bop. The production is super catchy and reminds me a lot of House On Fire, and Maisie Peters has an incredible voice. 

Melanie Martinez finally makes her Hits 1 debut too with VOID. This is super weird but it's still pretty good. The production is pretty interesting and Melanie sounds good.

Next up we have a strange collab of one hit wonders, Lauren Spencer-Smith, GAYLE, and Em Beihold with Fantasy. I was expecting a lot from this song, but this is kinda underwhelming. The production is cool but kinda basic and everyone sounds great.

Lewis Capaldi replaces himself with Wish You The Best. This is a pretty nice ballad from Lewis. The production is decent and Lewis sounds good.

Kelly Clarkson finally makes her return back to Hits 1 after Love So Soft in 2018, with Me. I'm kinda disappointed with Kelly's big return, but this is still alright. The production is alright but Kelly's voice is amazing as always.

Of course Hits 1 has to pick up on every Bazzi song, here he is with Eyes. This actually might be his best song in a while. The production is pretty upbeat and Bazzi sounds good.

Great just what we need, more Drake, he's back with Search & Rescue. This is actually alright. Drake sounds okay and the production is decent.

Exits:

Toosii - Favorite Song {3}

Avery Anna - Self Love {1}

Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss {3}

Lewis Capaldi - How I'm Feeling Now {4}

Chappell Roan - Kaleidoscope {2}

NOTD/Maia Wright - AM:PM {3}

All Time Low - Calm Down {4}

Doechii/Kodak Black - What It Is (Block Boy) {1}

Amelia Moore/jxdn - FUMD {3}

Favorite Song, Self Love, and Give Me A Kiss enter the abyss. AM:PM and What It Is deserved better. How I'm Feeling Now, Kaleidoscope, and Calm Down were alright. And good riddance to FUMD, it will not be missed.

Abyss:

The Weeknd/Ariana Grande - Die For You (Remix)

Harry Styles - Daylight

Havanna Winter - Death Wish

Morgan Wallen - Last Night

Nicky Youre - Eyes On You

Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

Bebe Rexha - Heart Wants What It Wants

Macklemore/Collett - No Bad Days

Toosii - Favorite Song 

Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss 

Avery Anna - Self Love 

Ava Max - Weapons

The abyss list keeps getting longer and longer...

Waffle Blurbs:

We lost Wings and Too Well. Wings got replaced by a better song from them. And Too Well was amazing and deserved better.

Looks like Mother is flopping. It's been here 5 weeks and hasn't gotten higher than #26.

Sure Thing has grown on me a lot.

Apparently Hits 1 doesn't know what to do with Thank God, it was the biggest jump 2 weeks ago and now it's the biggest drop.

C'mon can Love From The Other Side stop dropping? And can Creepin' do a little more leaving the countdown?

Eyes Closed dropped 3 spots and is out of the top 10 after having a huge 19 spot jump last week. Alright, then.

Love Again entered the top 10. I guess I'm fine with this.

Gracious, how long will Nonsense stay in the top 10?

Hits 1 starting playing the Doja Cat remix of Kill Bill but played the original for the countdown. I really hope they switch because the remix is much better.

The entire top 5 held. I thought Heaven could jump to #2 or even #1 but it's still holding at #3.

Lottery is still getting blocked from #1. I'm fine with this because it's starting to fade on me.

10:35 has been #1 for a lot longer than I thought it would, considering how Hits 1 treats EDM. I wonder how long this can hold #1 before Heaven takes over.

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