Debuts:

Fall Out Boy is here with Hold Me Like a Grudge. I wished What a Time to be Alive could have debuted instead, but I'll still take this. Amazing FOB song and Patrick Stump sounds amazing as always.

Doja Cat is back with Attention. This is pretty good. The production kinda slaps and Doja sounds good.


Countdown Extra: Dominic Fike - Mona Lisa

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between OneRepublic - Runaway and Icandy - Keep Dat (+9)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: FIFTY FIFTY - Cupid (Twin Ver.) (-5) 

Last year's #1 song: Harry Styles - As It Was (7/8 long and overrated weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: The Chainsmokers - I Love U

Least favorite song last year: Amelia Moore - i feel everything

Most missed song: Tequila Mockingbrd - Another Song About Tequila (2021)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Flo Rida - Do Si Do


5 oldest songs:

5. Charlie Puth/Dan + Shay - That’s Not How This Works (12 weeks)

4. Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed (13 weeks)

3. The 1975 - I'm In Love With You (17 weeks)

2. Niall Horan - Heaven (18 weeks)

1. Fall Out Boy - Love From The Other Side (22 weeks)



Hitbound:

Jessie Murph/Maren Morris - Texas {3}

Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World (Debut)

Benson Boone - In The Stars {4}

Tai Verdes - Sandman (Debut)

Niall Horan - Science (Debut)

Doechii - What It Is (Solo Version) {4}

Jelly Roll - Need A Favor (Debut)

Crash Adams - Lucky {4}

Kali - Area Codes {5}

d4vd - Here With Me (Debut)

Kim Petras - Revelations (Debut)

Devon Cole - 1-800-GOT-STRESS {2}

Dominic Fike - Mona Lisa {2} SOTW

Jimin/JVKE/Charlie Puth/Muni Long - Angel Part 2 {6}

Nicky Youre - Good Times Go {3}

Havanna Winter - Tornado {2}


Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice collab for a second time with Barbie World. This is pretty fun but I just wished it was longer than a minute and 49 seconds.

Tai Verdes is back with Sandman and this time he has a really good song. The production is really catchy and I really like the whistling, and Tai sounds great too.

Niall Horan replaced himself with Science. Hits 1 really didn't need to replace If You Leave Me with this boring ballad. The production is fine I guess but it's really boring, but Niall does sound really good as always.

I don't think anyone ever thought Hits 1 would pick up on Jelly Roll, but here he is with Need A Favor. It's a pretty fun country song and his voice is pretty good.

d4vd makes his Hits 1 debut with Here With Me. The production is fine but d4vd's voice is kinda weird, he sounds like a worse Stephen Sanchez.

Saving the best debut for last. Kim Petras just released her new album Feed The Beast, and here she is with Revelations. And oh my this is a bop. This sounds very Carly Rae Jespen-y, and I swear it sounds like her instead of Kim. And the production is insanely fun and catchy.


Exits:

Madison Beer - Home To Another One {2}

PinkPantheress - Angel {2}

Bailey Bryan - IYKYK {2}

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN {6}

Niall Horan - If You Leave Me {2}

JUMPIN finds itself in the abyss, and the rest I didn't care about.


Abyss:

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You

Halsey - Die 4 Me

Conan Gray - Never Ending Song

Miguel - Sure Thing

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground

Bakar - Hell N Back

Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding - Miracle

Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer

Taylor Swift  - You're Losing Me (From The Vault)

Gracie Abrams - I know it won't work

Flo Rida - What A Night

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN


Hold Me Like A Blurb:

We lost Trustfall and Meltdown. The wrong Niall song left, Heaven really needs to leave instead. And RIP Trustfall, you did not deserve to become a one week wonder.

Oof, it looks like Favorite Song isn't leaving anytime soon.

Finally it looks like Happy is gonna do something.

RIP Cupid left the top 10.

Wish You The Best is starting to fade on me a lot.

Give Me A Kiss is up to #6 now. This has grown on me a lot and is now the purple ranking. 

Good riddance Eyes Closed is getting really annoying, it's close to being bad.

Karma is #1 for a third week, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 

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

1: Taylor Swift/Ice Spice - Karma (Remix) (=) (8 weeks) [peak: 1 x 2 weeks]


Debuts:

Lil Durk makes his second countdown debut and J.Cole his first with All My Life. This has grown on me a lot. This is really fun and catchy and Lil Durk and J.Cole both sound great.

6 months after it was released, TRUSTFALL by P!nk debuts, making her return to the countdown since Walk Me Home in 2019. This isn't as good as Never Gonna Not Dance Again, but it's still really good. The production is extremely catchy and P!nk sounds great as always.


Countdown Extra: PinkPantheress - Angel

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Harry Styles - Satellite (+14)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: The 1975 - I'm In Love With You (-12)

Last year's #1 song: Harry Styles - As It Was (6/8 long and overrated weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Demi Lovato - SKIN OF MY TEETH

Least favorite song last year: Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie

Most missed song: AWOLNATION - Sail (2011)

3. The 1975 - I'm In Love With You (16 weeks)

2. Niall Horan - Heaven (17 weeks)

Doja Cat - Attention (Debut)

Havanna Winter - Tornado (Debut)

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN {6}

Devon Cole - 1-800-GOT-STRESS
(Debut)


Also on the survey:

Flo Rida - What A Night {1} 

Fall Out Boy - Hold Me Like A Grudge {1}

Taylor Swift - You're Losing Me {1}


Hits 1 switched to Angel Part 2 which replaces Kodak Black and NLE Choppa with Charlie Puth. Charlie's verse sounds good but doesn't really add much to the song.

In The Stars by Benson Boone has finally now been pushed to pop, and it re-entered hitbound a year later. This has grown on me a lot and it's easily the best song from him. I wouldn't mind if this became a hit.

Dominic Fike is back with Mona Lisa. And wow this is kinda a bop. This is really catchy and Dominic sounds great.

Doja Cat is here with Attention. Charlie Puth's Attention may be better, but this is kinda a bop. The production is very weird but it's kinda catchy and Doja Cat sounds good.

Hits 1 stop picking up on every Havanna Winter song challenge (impossible). They have literally picked up on every one of her songs (besides her one Christmas song). She's back with Tornado. This is alright. The production is solid and Havanna sounds good.

Devon Cole is back with 1-800-GOT-STRESS after having that dropout WITCH last year. This isn't quite as good as WITCH but it's still alright. The production is pretty catchy and Devon sounds pretty good.




Exits:

Ice Spice/Nicki Minaj - Princess Diana {6}

Shawn Mendes - WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DYING FOR ? {1}

Ed Sheeran - A Beautiful Game
{2}

Sam Smith/Madonna - VULGAR {1}

These were all good but I didn't really seem them doing anything.



Abyss:

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You

Halsey - Die 4 Me

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary

Lizzy McAlpine - ceilings

Conan Gray - Never Ending Song

Miguel - Sure Thing

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground

Bakar - Hell N Back

Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding - Miracle

Kim Petras/Nicki Minaj - Alone

Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer

Taylor Swift - Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince


1-800-GOT-BLURBS:

We lost I know it won't work and Lottery. I know it won't work wasn't that great and didn't deserve to re-enter in the first place. And good riddance to annoying Lottery.

I think everyone expected Cruel Summer to re-enter 3 years later but it looks like it's staying in the abyss for now.

Are Favorite Song or Daylight ever gonna go away?

RIP I'm In Love With You, I was really hoping it could get into the top 5.

Harry the clown finally got the huge jump into the top 10 we were all expecting.

Dance The Night took a huge jump into the top 5. Can Dua finally get her first #1 since We're Good in 2021?

Karma is #1 for a second week now. But I wouldn't mind if Waffle House, Chemical, or Dance The Night took the #1 spot soon though.

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

Debuts:

I know it won't work, VOID, and Happy re-entered. I really hope Happy can stick around for a little while longer this time. And I'm not really sure why I know it won't work and VOID needed to re-enter over some other songs like Never Ending Song and Eyes Wide Shut.

The Weeknd replaces himself, along with Playboi Carti and Madonna, with Popular. Madonna finally gets her first song on the countdown since 4 Minutes in 2009, and Playboi Carti makes his countdown debut. This has grown on me a lot. It's really fun and everyone sounds great.

The Jonas Brothers bring their second song on the countdown with Summer Baby. This is a really fun song and a perfect summer song.

OneRepublic is back with Runaway. This has grown on me a lot. It's super catchy and Ryan Tedder sounds great as always.


Countdown Extra: The Chainsmokers/bludnymph - Self Destruction Mode 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Dua Lipa - Dance The Night (+13)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Latto/Lu Kala - Lottery (-7)

Last year's #1 song: Harry Styles - As It Was (5/8 long and overrated weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Duke & Jones/Louis Theroux - Jiggle Jiggle

Least favorite song last year: Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie

Most missed song: 3OH!3/Katy Perry - STARSTRUKK (2009)

Also On The Survey:

Gracious, 11 debuts/re-entries, let's get started!

Area Codes re-entered. I guess I'm fine with this.

What It Is re-entered, this time the solo version without Kodak Black. I like this version better because Kodak Black ruins the song.

Well, we all thought The Show by Niall Horan was gonna debut, but instead we got If You Leave Me. This isn't as good as Meltdown or Heaven but it's still pretty good.

Shawn Mendes is back with a song we thought would be about the Canadian wildfires but instead is about his breakup with Camila, it's WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DYING FOR. He apparently only wrote the song in an hour. I gotta hand it to Shawn, a song he wrote in an hour is better than half the songs on Hits 1 right now. This isn't amazing but the production is alright and Shawn sounds good.

Sam Smith and Madonna team up for VULGAR, which is basically Unholy part 2. The production is really cool and Sam and Madonna both sound good.

Nicky Youre is back with Good Times Go. This is pretty good but far from his best. The production is decent but catchy and Nicky sounds good.

We have a second song called Angel on hitbound, this time from PinkPantheress. The production is pretty catchy and PinkPantheress sounds good.

Great, just what we need, more Jessie Murph. Expect this time it's actually good. She and Maren Morris collab for Texas. This is a pretty nice country song and Jessie and Maren both sound good.

Bailey Bryan is back with IYKYK. If you remember she had that hitbound dropout last year, MF with 24kgoldn. This is a fun little song and Bailey sounds good.

Madison Beer is back with Home To Another One. The production is weird but kinda catchy and Madison sounds good.

Lil Durk and J.Cole (who makes his Hits 1 debut) collab with All My Life. This is a pretty good rap song and the 2 sound pretty good.


Exits:

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground {3}

Bakar - Hell N Back {4}

Lewis Capaldi - Have You Ever Been in Love Before? {3}

Towa Bird - Wild Heart {1}

The Chainsmokers/bludnymph - Self Destruction Mode {1} SOTW

Presley Regier - Nevermind {6}

Middle Ground and Hell N Back find themselves in the abyss. Have You Ever Been in Love Before, Wild Heart, and Nevermind were alright. And Self Destruction Mode leaves despite being the countdown extra.


Abyss:

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

Avery Anna - Self Love 

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You

Halsey - Die 4 Me

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary

Lizzy McAlpine - ceilings

Conan Gray - Never Ending Song

Miguel - Sure Thing

ILLENIUM/Avril Lavigne/Travis Barker - Eyes Wide Shut

Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground

Bakar - Hell N Back

P!nk - TRUSTFALL 

Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding - Miracle 


Summer Blurbs:

Lots of exits this week. We lost Double Fantasy, Thank God, 10:35, Last Night, Alone, and Cinderella Snapped. Double Fantasy got replaced by a better Weeknd song. Thank God and 10:35 were good but were getting really old. Alone deserved better. Last Night was meh. And Cinderella Snapped was good but was starting to get old.

Favorite Song is quickly becoming my least favorite song and it now gets the orange ranking.

Dance The Night finally takes the purple ranking away from Love From The Other Side.

Can Daylight please go away? It's taking up room for much better songs.

That Part got a huge jump. This is growing on me a little.

Give Me A Kiss, Jaded, and Cupid enter the top 10. Yay to all of them.

We have a new #1 this week, Karma. I'm fine with this, even if Karma has slightly faded on me. With that, Ice Spice gets her first #1 song on the countdown. Love From The Other Side was starting to fade on me, so I don't mind it lost the #1 spot. 

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

Best new debut:

Dua Lipa - Dance The Night: 75.6% / 276 votes

1: Fall Out Boy - Love From The Other Side (=) (19 weeks) [peak: 1 x 3 weeks]


Debuts:

We finally have more solo Dua Lipa after Love Again 2 years ago with Dance The Night. And this is nothing short of amazing. The disco style production is amazing and super catchy and Dua sounds amazing as always.

Lauren Spencer-Smith is back with That Part. This is pretty good. The production is pretty upbeat and Lauren sounds good.

Icandy makes her Hits 1 debut with Keep Dat. This song is very strange but it kinda slaps. The production is really fun and Icandy sounds good. 


Countdown Extra: OneRepublic - Runaway 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: FIFTY FIFTY - Cupid (Twin Ver.) (+9)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Kane Brown/Katelyn Brown - Thank God (-10) 

Last year's #1 song: Harry Styles - As It Was (4/8 long and overrated weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Doja Cat - Get into it (Yuh)

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

Most missed song: Hanson - MMMBop (1997)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Busted/Hanson - MMMBop 2.0


5 oldest songs:

5. Jax - Cinderella Snapped (13 weeks)

Hitbound:

Maroon 5 - Middle Ground {3}

The Weeknd/Playboi Carti/Madonna - Popular (Debut)

Jonas Brothers - Summer Baby {3}

Ed Sheeran - A Beautiful Game (Debut)

Crash Adams - Lucky (Debut)

Ice Spice/Nicki Minaj - Princess Diana {5}

OneRepublic - Runaway {2} SOTW

Lewis Capaldi - Have You Ever Been in Love Before? {3}

Dua Lipa - Dance The Night {SB}

Kodak Black/NLE Choppa/Jimin/JVKE/Muni Long - Angel Part 1 {3}

Presley Regier - Nevermind {6}

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN {4}


The Weeknd, Playboi Carti (who makes his Hits 1 debut), and Madonna (who returns to Hits 1 after her hitbound dropout Give Me All Your Luvin' in 2012) team up to make Popular. This is pretty good. The production is pretty catchy and everyone sounds great.

Ed Sheeran released a new song for the show Ted Lasso called A Beautiful Game. I usually don't like Ed Sheeran ballads but this is really good. The production is pretty cool and Ed sounds great.

Crash Adams are back with Lucky. This isn't quite as good as Give Me A Kiss but I still like it. The production is really fun and the 2 sound great.

We have someone named Towa Bird with Wild Heart. This is pretty good. I like the pop punk production and her voice is pretty good.

The Chainsmokers are back along with bludnymph with Self Destruction Mode. This is another Chainsmokers banger. The production is really cool, it reminds me a lot of Riptide, and vocals from bludnymph are great.


Exits:

Coco Jones/Owen Cutts - ICU {3}

Kali - Area Codes {2}

Ed Sheeran/Luke Combs - Life Goes On {4}

Lu Kala - Pretty Girl Era {5}

None of these were that great so they won't be missed.


Abyss:

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

Avery Anna - Self Love 

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You

Gracie Abrams - I know it won't work

NF - Happy

Melanie Martinez - VOID

Halsey - Die 4 Me

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary

Lizzy McAlpine - ceilings

Conan Gray - Never Ending Song

Miguel - Sure Thing

ILLENIUM/Avril Lavigne/Travis Barker - Eyes Wide Shut


Blurb the night away:

We lost Sure Thing, Never Ending Song, and Eyes Wide Shut. I'm surprised Sure Thing flopped since it's one of the biggest songs right now. Never Ending Song was really good and I hope it can come back and not be a one week wonder. And Eyes Wide Shut was great too and didn't deserve to leave.

Hits 1 switched to the Ice Spice remix of Karma. Her verse doesn't really fit in with the rest of the song but I still like it.

Good riddance it looks like Favorite Song is leaving soon.

I'm surprised Satellite is kinda flopping right now given how well Hits 1 likes Harry.

10:35 is somehow still here even after getting hardly any airplay and not even being on the airplay charts for a few days.

Cinderella Snapped finally entered the top 10.

Are Heaven or Lottery ever gonna leave the top 10?

Chemical is now in the top 5. I really hope this can get #1.

Looks like Waffle House got blocked from #1.

Let's go! Love From The Other Side held onto the #1 spot for a third week. But with Karma jumping to #2, its rein is probably coming to an end.

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


If you haven't already noticed I started a poll of the week over on my sidebar. At the end of each week I'll post the results at the end of my countdown posts.
