Debuts:

Kane Brown and Marshmello collab for the second time since One Thing Right in 2019, with Miles On It. This is a really fun country EDM song and Kane Brown sounds great.

We had 3 abyss songs finally debut this week. First up is No Angels. This is so much better than Selfish. The disco production is really fun and Justin Timberlake sounds great as always.

The second abyss song debuting is Risk. This has grown on me slightly. Gracie Abrams sounds great and the production is good but slightly forgettable.

The last abyss song debuting is Good Luck, Babe. The production is really cool and Chappell Roan sounds great.

Hits 1 decided to pick up on a random Chainsmokers non radio single No Shade At Pitti. This has grown on me a lot. The production and drop are really good. I don't see this lasting long though like their other non hits like Think Of Us, iPad, and I Love U.

Hits 1 played both LUNCH and BIRDS OF A FEATHER a ton this week, but only let LUNCH, the actual single, debut. This isn't Billie's best, but it's far from her worst. The production is pretty fun and Billie sounds decent.

Countdown Extra: Henry Moodie - drunk text

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Madison Beer - Make You Mine [+17]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Noah Kahan - Stick Season, Benson Boone - Beautiful Things, and Ariana Grande - we can’t be friends (wait for your love) [-5]

Last year's #1 song: Fall Out Boy - Love From The Other Side (2/3 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Conan Gray - Never Ending Song

Least favorite song last year: Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed

Most missed song: David Guetta/Brooks/Loote - Better When You're Gone (2019)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Lukas Graham - Cheat Code

Tyla/Gunna/Skillibeng - Jump [2]

Stephen Sanchez - Baby Blue Bathing Suit [2]

Twenty One Pilots just released their new album Clancy, and here they are with The Craving. This is alright. Tyler Joseph sounds good but this is very forgettable.

Myles Smith makes his Hits 1 debut with Stargazing. This is a fun little song and Myles sounds really good.

Saweetie returns to Hits 1 after 2 years with that weird but good Baby Boo song, with NANi. This is pretty fun and Saweetie sounds good.

Charlie Puth is back with Hero. This isn't great. Charlie's voice sounds really weird like there's vocal effects on it, and the production is very boring and forgettable.

Exits:

Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER [1]

BIRDS OF A FEATHER finds itself in the abyss, as LUNCH was the actual single.

Abyss

Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER

No Blurbs At Pitti:

Wow, 2 6 exits weeks in a row! As for the exits, Feather was great but it was getting kinda old and it was time to leave. Not The 1975 had a great run but I wish it could have gotten #1. Training Season was great but kinda forgettable. I'm surprised Been Like This left already since it still had a tone of airplay. Backslide was one of TOP's weakest songs. And Made For Me was very forgettable.

Make You Mine had a massive 17 spot jump. Okay, then?

Nice to see The Door in the top 10 and Illusion in the top 5, but I'm less excited for Espresso being in the top 5 and End of Beginning inexplicably jumping to #6.

Thank God we can’t be friends fell to #7 and looks like it won't get #1. Poor Ariana is never gonna have a #1 song, is she.

obsessed jumped to #2 this week. I guess I wouldn't mind if it hit #1, it's one of Olivia's better songs. 

Too Sweet is #1 for a third week in a row now. Let's see how long this can stay #1!

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