Debuts: 

Both Wicked songs debuted this week. First is the best one, Popular. This has grown on me a lot. It's very catchy and Ariana sounds great despite not really sounding like herself.

The next Wicked song is Defying Gravity. This isn't nearly as good as Popular. This seems very forgettable.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA collab with luther. I think it's hilarious that Hits 1 was 3 months late to pick up on Not Like Us, yet they've picked up on luther 2 weeks after it was released when it hasn't even been pushed to pop yet. Anyways, this song is just forgettable R&B crap.



Countdown Extra: Twenty One Pilots - The Line

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club [+10]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Chappell Roan - HOT TO GO! [-12]

Last year's #1 song: Olivia Rodrigo - get him back! (1/4 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: BOYS LIKE GIRLS - MIRACLE

Least favorite song last year: Doja Cat - Agora Hills

Most missed song: Dan + Shay - I Should Probably Go To Bed (2020)

ROSÉ just released her first album Rosie, and she replaces herself with toxic till the end. This is a lot more upbeat than number one girl, but still not nearly as good as APT.

We have one of the most random collabs ever. A random Portuguese DJ named DJ Lucas Beat, who I know nothing about since his Spotify bio is in Portuguese, Jason Derulo, and Sia are here with You Can Do Anything. This is alright, I guess. It's pretty fun, everyone sounds good, but this is a bit too short.

Bad Dreams reentered. This is just now starting to get popular so it's just a classic case of Hits 1 picking up on a song too early.

Now the best for last. Crash Adams are here with yet another banger Optimist. This is super fun, and it even has some Maroon 5 vibes, I swear he sounds exactly like Adam Levine especially in the chorus. Hopefully this becomes a hit.


Exits: 

ROSÉ - number one girl [2]

Luckily ROSÉ replaced herself with a much better song. Also, this was the final week for the 2024 hitbound dropouts tracking period. Hitbound dropouts after this week will be added to the 2025 dropout list. You can check out the final 2024 hitbound dropout list here https://zestpond.blogspot.com/p/2024-hitbound-dropouts.html 


Abyss

Megan Moroney - Am I Okay?

Eminem/Jelly Roll - Somebody Save Me

Katy Perry/Doechii - I'M HIS, HE'S MINE

Taylor Swift - So High School

Akon - Akon's Beautiful Day

Lil Nas X - LIGHT AGAIN!

The Kid LAROI/Quavo - SLOW IT DOWN

Jason Derulo/Jawsh 685 - Make Me Happy

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine

Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action

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

Sabrina Carpenter - Bad Chem

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry

Harry Styles - Daylight


Just one more month and Daylight would have spent its fourth consecutive year of being in the abyss.


You can blurb anything:

We lost Touch, Criminals, and Heatstroke. Touch and Criminals were fun but were slightly forgettable. And good riddance to Heatstroke, I'm not really sure why it randomly jumped 12 spots to #8 last week just for it to leave this week.

Sailor Song grew on me slightly.

After 3 months, It's ok I'm ok has finally reached the top half of the countdown.

Um, why is Ego still here? It got purged from mediabase 2 weeks ago and I'm pretty sure Hits 1 is only one of a few stations left still playing it.

Oof, HOT TO GO had a massive 12 spot drop and is dropping in airplay, this is probably on its way out soon.

Chappell Roan replaces herself in the top 5 with Pink Pony Club. This doesn't really seem like top 5 material, but ok I guess.

If Taste could please get out of the top 5 that would be wonderful.

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