Debuts:

Eminem is back on the countdown after 6 years since River in 2018, with Houdini. Yet another banger from him. This is super fun and Eminem's rapping is amazing as always.

twenty one pilots are back with The Craving after their previous two other songs flopped on the countdown. This is a lot better than Overcompensate and Backslide. This is pretty fun and not weird or boring like the other 2 songs were. Hopefully this doesn't flop like those 2 songs did.

Finally making its way out of the abyss is Billie Eilish with BIRDS OF A FEATHER. This has grown on me slightly since it first entered hitbound a few weeks ago. The production is upbeat enough and Billie actually doesn't sound too bad. 

Countdown Extra: Halsey - The End

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Ariana Grande - the boy is mine [+14]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Knox - Me, Myself & Your Eyes and Ariana Grande - we can’t be friends (wait for your love) [-6]

Favorite song last year: Kali - Area Codes

Least favorite song last year: Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed

Imagine Dragons - Nice To Meet You [2]

Calling After Me randomly reentered after leaving 3 months ago. I believe this is just now being pushed to pop. This is a decent alt rock song, nothing special.

Bruh, wtf is this crap? Halsey has made one of the most boring songs I have ever heard in my life. The End is just an acoustic ballad with Halsey just whisper singing. This better not become a hit or I will be very mad.

Gracie Abrams is here with Close To You. Apparently she wrote part of this 7 years ago but just now finished it. This is alright, but Risk is still a lot better.

No one asked for more Sabrina Carpenter. She's here with Please Please Please. Sabrina sounds decent but the production is just super boring and uninteresting.

No one asked for more Meghan the clown either. She replaces herself with Whoops. It's alright, I guess? It's decently fun and Meghan sounds alright.

Now for the only great debut this week. RAYE released Genesis, which is 7 minutes long, but also released the song in 3 parts, and part 2 debuts this week. Part 2 is great but I love part 3 a lot more. 

Exits:

Alec Benjamin/Khalid - Ways To Go [4]

Charlie Puth - Hero [2]

Meghan Trainor/Niecy Nash - I Wanna Thank Me [1]

PinkPantheress - Turn It Up [1]

All of these songs were super mid and they won't be missed.

Abyss

Olivia Rodrigo - so american

Muni Long - Made For Me

Black Eyed Peas/El Alfa/Becky G - TONIGHT (Bad Boys Ride Or Die)

Michael Marcagi - Scared To Start

Meghan Trainor/T-Pain - Been Like This

d4vd - Feel It

Harry Styles - Daylight

RM - Come Back To Me

Shinedown - A Symptom of Being Human

Billie Eilish - you should see me in a crown

Mark Ambor - Belong Together

Jelly Roll/Lainey Wilson - Save Me

Blurb back to me:

We lost No Shade At Pitti, OKLOSER, and Stick Season. Good riddance to Stick Season, it was super annoying and deserved to leave 20 weeks ago. No Shade At Pitti was amazing but was never going to do well. And I'm sad to see OKLOSER go as it was an actual rare tolerable Doja Cat song.

I Don’t Wanna Wait grew on me a lot again and it now becomes my purple song.

Seriously how is I Can Do It With A Broken Heart still here? It only gets 1 spin a day...

the boy is mine had a huge 14 spot jump to #7. Okay, then...

If Too Sweet could keep blocking Espresso from #1 that would be great.

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