Debuts:

Luke Hemmings from 5SOS makes his solo countdown debut with Shakes. This is just pretty good. The production is kinda boring but still solid and Luke sounds great.

Meghan Trainor and T-Pain team up to make Been Like This. This is really fun and the two of them sound great together.

Olivia Rodrigo just released the deluxe version of GUTS, and she's here with obsessed. Yes, this is finally another Olivia I've been waiting for. The pop punk production is amazing and insanely catchy and Olivia sounds great.

Benson Boone brings us another song with Slow It Down. This is basically Beautiful Things 2.0. The production starts off slow and slowly turns into a rock song by the end. The production here is really cool and Benson sounds great.

Alt rock band Wallows make their Hits 1 debut with Calling After Me. This is just pretty good. The production is alright but kinda forgettable.

Everyone's favorite👦sounding singer is here with King Size Bed. The production is super catchy and Alec sounds great. 

EDM artist Porter Robinson is here with Cheerleader. The production gets kinda ear-rapey in some parts but overall this is pretty good. 

Clarity randomly grew on me a lot.


Exits:

  • Charli XCX - Von dutch
  • LAY/LAUV - Run Back To You
  • Pharrell Williams/Miley Cyrus - Doctor (Work It Out)

Von dutch was very weird and sounded too much like a dying vacuum cleaner. Run Back To You and Doctor were great but kinda forgettable.


Abyss

Jessie Murph/Jelly Roll - Wild Ones

Victoria Monét - On My Mama

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

Jelly Roll/Lainey Wilson - Save Me

The Weeknd/JENNIE/Lily-Rose Depp - One Of The Girls

Panic! At The Disco - New Perspective

Shinedown - A Symptom of Being Human

Jennifer Lopez/Latto - Can't Get Enough

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder on the Dancefloor


King Size Blurbs:

We lost Standing Next to You and get him back. Good riddance to annoy him back, one of the most annoying songs this year. And RIP to Standing Next to You, one of my favorite songs of the year. With it gone, Training Season now becomes my favorite song on the countdown.

I'm not sure if Hits 1 switched to the original version of yes, and since that's what they played on the countdown, so I'll change it for now. I'm not sure why this song is still so high since it only had 19 spins last week and we can't be friends seems to be taking over.

Beautiful Things jumped up to #3? That's unexpected, but I'll gladly take it.

Welp, Feather now holds the blocked from #1 record with now 8 weeks being blocked from #1, beating Cold Heart's 7 weeks.

Can we please get a new #1 song? It's kinda ridiculous that Houdini has been #1 for 8 weeks in a row now, and I'm running out of ideas to generate AI pictures of Dua Lipa dressed as Houdini for my post thumbnails.

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