Debuts: 

Burning Down finally debuts after being in the abyss for ages. This is pretty fun and Alex Warren sounds great.

These next 2 debuts were kinda unexpected. JENNIE's Mantra debuts, which now means we have 3 solo Blackpink members on the countdown. This is really fun and Jennie sounds great.

Gigi Perez makes her countdown debut with Sailor Song. I really wished Hits 1 would have let this drop out of hitbound and never become a hit, but alas it debuted. This is just super weird and boring.

Countdown Extra: Jessie Murph - Sip

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Lady Gaga - Disease and Taylor Swift - So High School [+5]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Katy Perry/Doechii - I'M HIS, HE'S MINE [-6]

Last year's #1 song: Tate McRae - greedy (4/11 long weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Kenya Grace - Strangers

Least favorite song last year: Doja Cat - Agora Hills

Most missed song: Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue (1982)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Finger Eleven - Adrenaline

Newcomer Griff makes her first Hits 1 appearance with last night's mascara. She sounds great but this is very forgettable.

Apparently Hits 1 is picking up on every Myles Smith song now. He brings his second song on hitbound with Nice To Meet You. This is fun, but slightly forgettable.

Exits:

The Weeknd/Anitta - São Paulo [1]

This was really fun and deserved better. Hopefully it comes back.

Abyss

Morgan Wallen - Love Somebody

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine

Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action

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

Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER

Chappell Roan - Femininomenon

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait

Harry Styles - Daylight

Last night's blurbs:

We lost Love Somebody, The Emptiness Machine, and Austin. Austin was great but it was long overdue to leave, like 12 weeks ago. The Emptiness Machine was great but it was never gonna do well. And I'm really surprised Love Somebody left since it had a ton of airplay, but it might reenter soon.

To no one's surprise, Katy Perry is flopping again.

Heatstroke really needs to go away and stop jumping, it's one of the most forgettable hit songs this year.

I was convinced Die With A Smile was gonna hit #1 this week but it dropped a spot instead. Birds of a Feather is still getting a ton of airplay, so it might hold onto #1 for a little while longer.

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