Debuts:

After getting hardly any airplay, Luke Combs makes his Hits 1 debut with a cover of Tracy Chapman's 1988 song Fast Car. This is a fun little country song and Luke sounds great.

Harry Styles debuts high but not as high as I expected with Satellite. This is alright. The production is kinda boring but Harry sounds alright.

Favorite song last year: The Chainsmokers - I Love U

Least favorite song last year: Jnr Choi/Sam Tompkins - TO THE MOON

Most missed song: SZA/Justin Timberlake - The Other Side (2020)

Icandy - Keep Dat {2}

Jack Harlow - They Don't Love It {3}

Bakar - Hell N Back (Debut)

Lu Kala - Pretty Girl Era {3} SOTW

Coco Jones/Owen Cutts - ICU (Debut)

David Kushner - Daylight {3}

Drake - Search & Rescue {5}


Hits 1 switched to the Luke Combs remix of Life Goes On. He sounds good but the song is still super boring.

Pitbull and Lil Jon collab with JUMPIN. This actually isn't the first time those 2 have collabed, they collabed on El Taxi back in 2015. This samples the 1992 song Jump Around by House Of Pain. The production is really fun and Pitbull and Lil Jon both sound great.

The Jonas Brothers just released their new album and here they are with Summer Baby. The production is really fun and I think this could be a perfect summer song.

Gayle is back with don't call me pretty. And first of all that album cover is really scary. Anyways the song itself is alright. The production is kinda weird but Gayle sounds alright.

Bakar is here with a song from 2019, Hell N Back. Greaaat. We all need old, weird alt crap on pop radio. JK, this one's actually pretty good. The production is solid and Bakar sounds good.

Coco Jones and producer Owen Cutts make their Hits 1 debut with ICU. This is alright. The production is kinda boring but Coco sounds alright.


Exits:

Coi Leray - Bops {2}

XG/Ciara/Jackson Wang/JAKOPS - LEFT RIGHT REMIXX {3}

These were both fun little songs but I don't mind they left.


Abyss:

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

Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

Avery Anna - Self Love 

Kim Petras/Nicki Minaj - Alone

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You

Labrinth/Billie Eilish - Never Felt So Alone

Gracie Abrams - I know it won't work

NF - Happy

Melanie Martinez - VOID

Lizzo/SZA - Special

Halsey - Die 4 Me

Nicky Youre - Eyes On You

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary

The 1975 - I'm In Love With You

Meghan Trainor - Mother 


Don't Call Me Blurby:

We lost Happy (again) and Void. They both had a ton of airplay and Happy just jumped 11 spots so I'm not sure why they left but ok.

If Last Night could stop jumping that'd be great.

Can Lavender Haze just please leave already before I start hating it.

Love From The Other Side has grown on me a lot again and is back in the purple ranking.

10:35 has been in the bottom 5 in airplay for a few weeks now so I'm surprised it's still in the top 10.

Waffle House jumped to #5. I wouldn't mind if this hit #1.

Latto finally gets her first #1 with Lottery since Big Energy failed to do so. This has faded on me a lot but I'll still take this at #1 (especially over Nonsense). With Love From The Other Side jumping to #1 and gaining in airplay I really hope this can get #1 next week.

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