Debuts: 

Bad Dreams finally debuts after dropping out of hitbound months ago then reentering hitbound and dropping out for a second time last week. This is fairy upbeat and Teddy Swims sounds good but this is very forgettable.

Criminals reentered all the way at #13. Okay, then.

Sabrina Carpenter's Bed Chem debuts all the way at #8 after being in the abyss for several months, one spot off from tying the highest debut record held by Sucker and Easy On Me which debuted at #7. This song is pretty fun. But this song won't be fun for now because it's gonna get super overplayed like all her songs do, and it's only a matter of time until this hits #1.

Countdown Extra: Lola Young - Messy

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Ariana Grande - Popular [+11]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson [-6]

Last year's #1 song: Olivia Rodrigo - get him back! (3/4 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Knox - Girl On The Internet

Least favorite song last year: Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me

Most missed song: Bon Jovi/Jennifer Nettles - Who Says You Can't Go Home (2005)

Also Available on Survey

Megan Moroney - Am I Okay? [3]

No one asked for more SZA. She released a deluxe edition of SOS and is here with Drive. This is just as boring and uninspiring as the rest of her music is.

Exits: 

Meg Donnelly - in my bag [5]

in my bag was fun but kinda faded on me.

Abyss

David Guetta/Alphaville/Ava Max - Forever Young

Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You

DJ Lucas Beat/Jason Derulo/Sia - You Can Do Anything

Megan Moroney - Am I Okay?

Eminem/Jelly Roll - Somebody Save Me

KATSEYE - Touch

Akon - Akon's Beautiful Day

Harry Styles - Daylight

Forever Young is randomly back in the abyss for some reason. Hopefully this can reenter.

Blurb with a smile:

We lost Mantra, HOT TO GO, and Ego. Ego was super forgettable and stuck around way too long. HOT TO GO was fun but was starting to get old. And Mantra was fun but slightly forgettable.

Sailor Song has been in the bottom 5 for 2 months now, it's literally countdown filler at this point.

Nice to see a big jump from Popular.

Thank god Close To You ended up getting blocked from #1. It's been awhile since we had a blocked song. The last one was back in May when Too Sweet thankfully blocked obsessed and we can't be friends from #1.

Okay, no one asked for more overplayed Sabrina Carpenter crap to return to #1. This needs to go away soon because I really don't care what Sabrina tastes like.

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