Debuts:
Twenty One Pilots are back on the countdown for the first time in 3 years with Overcompensate, after The Outside left in late 2021. I'm still not completely sold on Overcompensate. The production is cool but kinda weird but Tyler Joseph's voice is amazing as always.
Ariana Grande brings her second song on the countdown with we can't be friends. This is a fun little bop and Ariana sounds great, but this is kinda forgettable and isn't nearly as good as yes, and.
Djo, or actor Joe Keery from Stranger Things, is here with End of Beginning. This has grown on me slightly after hearing it a couple times on Hits 1 last week. The production is strange but kinda catchy and Djo sounds alright.
Countdown Extra: Luke Hemmings - Shakes
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Dua Lipa - Training Season (+12)
Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me (-4)
Last year's #1 song: Miley Cyrus - Flowers (6/6 weeks at #1)
Favorite song last year: Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her
Least favorite song last year: JVKE - this is what heartbreak feels like
Most missed song: Anitta/DaBaby - Girl From Rio (2021)
Recommendation for Hits 1: JORDY - SECOND MINUTE HOUR
Hitbound:
Alex Warren - Before You Leave Me (re-entry)
Meghan Trainor/T-Pain - Been Like This (Debut)

Kenya Grace - It's not fair (Debut)
Fall Out Boy - So Much (for) Stardust
Pharrell Williams/Miley Cyrus - Doctor (Work It Out)
Haiden Henderson - hell of a good time (Debut)
Before You Leave Me re-entered. I never reviewed this song so I'll do that now. Alex Warren's voice is amazing and the production is pretty catchy but it's just kinda forgettable.
Meghan Trainor teams up with T-Pain, who makes his return to Hits 1 after 12 years when It's Not You (It's Me) dropped out of hitbound in 2012, with Been Like This. This is super fun and Meghan and T-Pain both sound great.
Nicky Youre is back with Part Time Lover after that super boring S.A.D song dropped out of hitbound a few weeks ago. Part Time Lover is better than S.A.D, but it's still not that great. It's upbeat enough, but it's super forgettable.
Zayn is back with What I Am after that good but super forgettable song Love Like This spent 1 week on the countdown last year. This isn't that great. This is super boring and Zayn doesn't sound that good.
Kenya Grace is back with It's not fair. Kenya sounds great but the production is kinda forgettable and isn't nearly as good as Strangers.
We have some rando named Haiden Henderson with hell of a good time. I can't find out any information about this guy, he doesn't even have an artist description on Spotify. I don't know how Hits 1 even finds some of these songs. But I'm glad they did, because this song goes so hard. This song reminds me a lot of Fallin' by Why Don't We, which was one of my favorite songs of 2020. The production is super cool and catchy and Haiden sounds great.
Exits:
Hayes Warner/Billy B/Kevin Rudolf - Just A Girl
Dasha - Austin
Galantis/David Guetta/5 Seconds of Summer - Lighter
Lighter was amazing and deserved better. Just A Girl and Austin find themselves in the abyss. Austin has grown on me a lot after hearing it a few times on Hits 1 last week.
Abyss:
UMI/V - wherever u r
Nicki Minaj/Lil Uzi Vert - Everybody
Hayes Warner/Billy B/Kevin Rudolf - Just A Girl
Dasha - Austin
MAX/HUH YUNJIN - STUPID IN LOVE

Jennifer Lopez/Latto - Can't Get Enough
FLETCHER - Lead Me On
Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder on the Dancefloor
Part Time Blurber:
We lost On My Mama, Wild Ones, and Agora Hills. Good riddance to Agora Hills/Need to Know part 2, one of my worst songs this year, maybe even the worst song. On My Mama was a fun little bop and deserved better. And Wild Ones was good but stuck around way too long to only peak at #25.
Lovin On Me has been dropping in airplay and on the countdown, hopefully this mediocre rap leaves soon.
Lose Control jumped 2 spots despite being the second to last least played countdown song.
Nice to see Standing Next to You getting a big +8 jump and Beautiful Things in the top 10.
Is annoy him back ever gonna leave? It's the least played countdown song and it's still #8. But I have a feeling it will probably leave next week.
Feather has been blocked from #1 for 7 weeks in a row, which ties the record set by Cold Heart in 2021 when it was blocked from #1 for 7 weeks by Stay and Shivers.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
Should Agora Hills in the abyss (YES)

DeleteI know that this is someone trolling me and not an actual bot (a bot wouldn't call themselves "Ro. Bot.") but this is too hilarious so I'm gonna let this continue.
DeleteExactly! Lollll
ReplyDeleteHallett, don't you think it's funny how the "Ro.Bot." said a lot of things that align with your music tastes?
DeleteYou really think I, of all people, would comment as a fake troll bot?
Deleteno, i don't think it was halete. if he was gonna imitate a bot i'd think he at least try to get the spelling correct.
DeleteIt's ironic that you don't seem to spell anything correctly and you're commenting about the Ro.Bot's spelling.
DeleteOk I don't think we have to make such a big deal over who the Ro.Bot. is lmaooo
DeleteHey Zestpond! I remember those listening parties we used to do a lot. Well, if we were to do one now, I would just play some TheFatRat songs (aka EDM from the 2010s) and speaking about him, do you mind checking out his newest song Still Here With You? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteStill Here With You is pretty good, I'd give it an 8/10
