Debuts: 

Morgan Wallen debuts with Love Somebody. This is really fun and is easily my favorite song from him.

ROSÉ from Blackpink collabs with Bruno Mars with APT. This song is such a bop. This is the most fun song I've heard in a while. This kinda has a late 2000s vibe, it reminds me a lot of That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings. This song is so stupidly fun and ROSÉ and Bruno sound great together.

Countdown Extra: Gigi Perez - Sailor Song

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile and Myles Smith - Stargazing [+4]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Coldplay/Little Simz/Burna Boy/Elyanna/TINI - WE PRAY [-7]

Last year's #1 song: Tate McRae - greedy (2/11 long weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: AJR - Yes I'm A Mess

Least favorite song last year: Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For?

Most missed song: The Killers - The Man (2017)

Taylor Swift - So High School [2]

Jason Derulo and Jawsh 685 collab to make Savage Love part 2 called Make Me Happy. This is fun, but isn't nearly as good as Savage Love.

We really did not need more Midsey. She's here with Panic Attack. This is not interesting to listen to at all.

Lady Gaga is back with more glitch pop that she's known for with Disease. I usually love her upbeat songs but this seems kinda forgettable.

Akon is a name I haven't heard in a while. He hasn't been seen on hits 1 since Who Dat Girl in 2011. He debuts with Akon's Beautiful Day. This is fun and Akon sounds great as always.

Damiano David is back with Born With A Broken Heart and luckily this is a lot more upbeat than Silverlines. This is still kinda forgettable though.

Exits:

Ava Max - Spot A Fake [5]

Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action [4]

David Guetta/Alphaville/Ava Max - Forever Young [1]

These were all great and deserved better.

Abyss

Charli XCX/Ariana Grande - Sympathy is a knife (remix)

Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER

Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club

Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem

LISA - Moonlit Floor

Alex Warren - Burning Down

The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather

Taylor Swift - So High School

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry

The Kid LAROI - GIRLS

Chappell Roan - Femininomenon

Eminem - Houdini

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait

Harry Styles - Daylight

I just wanna blurb somebody:

We lost Sympathy is a knife and Wildflower. I'm not really sure why Hits 1 picked up on these non singles to begin with.

Looks like It's ok, I'm ok is flopping. I really thought this was gonna do well.

Austin is just refusing to go away at this point.

Taste faded on me again. So did Close To You.

Stargazing really didn't need to jump back to #4.

Billie Eilish finally gets her first #1 on the countdown with BIRDS OF A FEATHER. This isn't the best song from her, but at least it's a lot better than her weird 2021 crap.

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

Green Day - Letterbomb (Debut)

MØ - Who Said (2)

We have two debuts from Cassie Henderson, Die For You and Admit to That. Die For You is super fun, and Admit to That is less than fun.

This next song actually won't be out for another 2 weeks, but Daniel somehow found it early. Leah Kate and 24kGoldn collab on WYA. This is super fun and they both sound great.

Addison Rae is here with Aquamarine. This is fun and so much better than Diet Pepsi.

The first of many nobodies Daniel has on his show. Michael Sanzone debuts with Going, Going, Gone. This is fine but very forgettable.

Mimi Webb returns with One Eye Open. This is super forgettable.

Morgan Wallen is here with Love Somebody. This is super fun and easily my favorite song from him.

Great just what we needed, a nobody collabing with Avery Anna. Adrien Nunez debuts with LOW ROAD. This is fine I guess.

I really loved MICO's song glhf<3 earlier this year. tears in your eyes is not nearly as good.

Panic Attack is just more Midsey.

M5's favorite artist Jamie Miller debuts with Guidebook To Healing. The production is very beautiful and Jamie sounds great.

The most forgettable artist in the world Tom Grennan debuts with Higher. This slaps and is easily his best song.

Green Day just released the 20th anniversary of American Idiot, and here they are with Letterbomb. I usually love Green Day but this is too forgettable.

Exits:

Jack Harris - Real As Ever (2)

Jamie Miller - Better By Myself (1)

Sabrina Carpenter (1) - Week of Oct 19, 2024

 

Hey guys, what's up? So I just found out from Daniel that Hits 1 hosts a countdown called the "30 in 3" that literally spoils the weekend countdown. They update it every day and on Thursdays, that's what the countdown will look like. So if you want to know what the countdown looks like early, search "30 in 3" on the SiriusXM app. 

Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown:

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste [+2] {8w} 1w @ #1

Debuts:

Lonely Road really did not need to reenter over Moonlit Floor or Burning Down debuting instead.

A second week in a row with a random song that hasn't been pushed to pop. The Ariana Grande remix of Charli XCX's Sympathy is a knife debuts. This is a very weird song but kinda slaps. Charli sounds great but I wish Ariana had more vocals because it feels like she's barely even in this song.

Whatcha Want reentered. It's just now getting a pop push so nice to see it back.

ROSÉ from Blackpink, who had a very forgettable hitbound dropout back in 2021 called On The Ground, collabed with Bruno Mars with APT. This really slaps ngl. The way they pronounce "apt" is hilarious and the production is really fun.

Gracie Abrams is back with what is literally Risk 2.0 called That's So True. This is a literal carbon copy of Risk. But this is a lot more upbeat though and it's probably my favorite song from her so far.

Everyone's favorite sampler David Guetta is back again with another sample. He collabs with Alphaville and Ava Max with Forever Young. This samples Alphaville's 1994 hit with the same name. This is a fun little EDM song and Ava and whoever Alphaville's singer is sound great.

Wow, Morgan Wallen made an actual good song that's not weird country trap crap for once. He's here with Love Somebody. This is really fun and Morgan sounds great.

No one asked for weird random indie nightcrawler crap. Some rando named Gigi Perez whose song Sailor Song is doing well on the Spotify charts for some reason debuts. This is very weird and this Gigi person does not have a great voice.

LISA - Moonlit Floor [2]

Alex Warren - Burning Down [4]

Damiano David/Labrinth - Silverlines [3]

Halsey - I Never Loved You [1]

Good riddance to Silverlines. Moonlit Floor and Burning Down find themselves in the abyss. And the rest I didn't care about.

Harry Styles - Daylight

Blurb me at the apt:

We lost Miles On It and Pretty Slowly. Miles On It was great but it was getting very old and needed to leave. And Pretty Slowly was pretty mid. 

Austin has become the latest song to reach 30 weeks since I Like You (A Happier Song) did it back in early 2023. Austin is a great song but I'm not sure why it's sticking around for so long.

Um, why did Ego jump 10 spots to #6? I thought this was starting to die on pop radio. I Am Not Okay didn't need to jump 10 spots either.

IDK why Hits 1 is so allergic to Billie hitting #1 when BIRDS OF A FEATHER is hitting #1 literally everywhere else.

Welp just like I predicted when it entered the countdown, Taste finally reached #1. This is so much better than Espresso and Please x3, so I'm glad this hit #1. 

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

2. Billie Eilish - BIRDS OF A FEATHER [+1] {19w} PK: 2

1. Chappell Roan - HOT TO GO! [==] {7w} 2w @ #1 

Debuts:

Nice to see The Emptiness Machine back as it has grown on me a lot, but this probably won't last long again.

Billie Eilish debuts out of nowhere with WILDFLOWER. I don't think this has been pushed to pop, so I'm not sure why Hits 1 randomly picked up on this. The production is a bit slow but starts to pick up and Billie sounds good.

Countdown Extra: LISA - Moonlit Floor

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay [+5]

Hitbound

Myles Smith - Wait for You [7]

JENNIE - Mantra [Debut]

Henry Moodie - good old days [3]

Hayes Warner - ZIP [Debut]

Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action [3]

Knox - Invisible [5]

LISA - Moonlit Floor [2]

Ava Max - Spot A Fake [4]

Damiano David/Labrinth - Silverlines [3]

Halsey - I Never Loved You [Debut]

Alex Warren - Burning Down [4]

Balu Brigada - So Cold [3]

Dasha - Bye Bye Bye [5]

Jelly Roll/Halsey - Take A Bow [Debut]

Jon Bellion - KID AGAIN [3]

Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams [5]

JENNIE from Blackpink makes her Hits 1 debut with Mantra, since One Of The Girls was in the abyss and technically never debuted hitbound or the countdown. This is really fun and Jennie sounds great.

Everyone's favorite Hits 1 plant Hayes Warner is back with ZIP. This is pretty fun, Hayes sounds great, but this isn't as good as Predator.

Great, Halsey is back to making boring music now. I Never Loved You isn't that interesting to listen to and Halsey doesn't sound that great either.

A very unexpected collab Jelly Roll and Halsey are here with Take A Bow. This doesn't start off that great but once it gets to Halsey's verse it starts to pick up and Jelly Roll and Halsey surprisingly sound great together.

Exits:

Coldplay/Ayra Starr - GOOD FEELiNGS [1]

Nightly - every part [2]

Natalie Jane - Somebody to Someone (I Just Wanna Fall in Love) [4]

Morgan Wallen/ERNEST - Cowgirls [2]

RIP to Good Feelings. Cowgirls spent a whopping one week getting airplay before it suddenly dropped off. And Somebody to Someone and every part were both very forgettable.

Abyss

The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather

Taylor Swift - So High School

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry

The Kid LAROI - GIRLS

Machine Gun Kelly/Jelly Roll - Lonely Road

Chappell Roan - Femininomenon

Eminem - Houdini

Hayes Warner - Predator

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait

Harry Styles - Daylight

Just when the abyss list was starting to shrink, a bunch of songs entered the abyss. Sweater Weather has started its yearly tradition of entering the abyss. I'm surprised I Love You, I'm Sorry didn't debut since it had a lot of airplay.

Take a Blurb:

We lost A Bar Song and Mamushi. A Bar Song was getting old and needed to leave. And I'm not sure why Mamushi felt the need to reenter in the first place, it's extremely forgettable.

This week was not very exciting, there was hardly any movement except for a -8 drop from Stargazing.

Are Diet Pepsi, Not Like Us, and Criminals gonna do anything besides rot in the bottom 5?

BIRDS OF A FEATHER has gained a lot in airplay and jumped to #2, this will probably overtake #1 soon. 

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

Debuts:

Nice to see Joyride back.

I'M HIS, HE'S MINE finally makes its way out of the abyss. This is kinda generic but it's still really fun and Katy Perry and Doechii both sound great.

I Am Not Okay also finally makes its way out of the abyss, except this was in the abyss for a few months now. This really did not need to debut, I would have been fine with this staying in the abyss. This song is good but painfully generic. The production is fine and Jelly Roll sounds alright too.

Only 2 debuts this week, that makes my job a whole lot easier.

Coldplay just released their new album Moon Music, and they debut with Good Feeling along with Ayra Starr, the lady from You're Hired. This is easily Coldplay's best song since Higher Power. The production is incredible and super catchy, and Chris Martin and Ayra both sound great together.

LISA debuts with Moonlit Floor, which samples Sixpence None The Richer's 1998 hit Kiss Me. This is pretty fun. The sample works well and isn't lazily used like some other artists (aka David Guetta) and Lisa's voice is great.

Exits:

Camila Cabello - GODSPEED [4]

Alex Warren - Catch My Breath [1]

Good riddance to Godspeed, and I don't even remember what Catch My Breath sounded like.

Abyss

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine

Machine Gun Kelly/Jelly Roll - Lonely Road

Chappell Roan - Femininomenon

Eminem - Houdini

Hayes Warner - Predator

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait

Olivia Rodrigo - so american

Harry Styles - Daylight

This is the lightest I've ever seen the abyss in a while.

Moonlit Blurbs:

We lost Please Please Please, Lonely Road, and The Emptiness Machine. The Emptiness Machine got robbed so hard. Lonely Road was never that great and finds itself in the abyss. And Please Please Please ties Satellite for the highest drop-off ever on the countdown.

A Bar Song had a massive 19 spot drop. I guess this means it's leaving soon.

Mamushi really does not need to be jumping so high.

Stargazing doesn't seem like a top 5 song but I guess I'll take it.

Hot To Go jumping to #1 was very unexpected but I'll gladly take it. It's easily her best song.

As I alluded to earlier, 2 things happened this week that hasn't happened since 2021. First, A Bar Song had a 19 spot drop, which is the biggest drop since Monsters in 2021 when it dropped 20 spots. Also, Chappell Roan becomes the first artist to replace themselves at #1 since Olivia Rodrigo did it in 2021.

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