Sabrina Carpenter (2) - Week of June 21, 2025

 

Hey guys! Well, I guess I should explain why you've been starting to see ads on my blog. For the past year, I've been trying to submit my blog for AdSense, but Google kept denying my request for some reason. Finally this week, Google accepted my request to connect this blog with AdSense. I guess I should explain why I decided to start running ads. Obviously, I don't get paid to write these posts. I spend a lot of time making these posts, and it's a few hours out of my day every Saturday when I could be doing other things with my life. Is it too much to ask for at least a little bit of compensation? I hate ads myself, and I always use an adblocker, so I've tried to make these ads as non-intrusive as I can. On mobile, there's one ad on the top of the page, and one at the bottom of the page. On desktop, there's one ad on the sidebar and one at the bottom of the post. There's no ads in the post itself, and there hopefully shouldn't be any annoying ads that pop up that take up the entire screen. I know ads suck, but they really help support me as I make these countdown posts. If the ads start to get to be too much, please let me know and I can try to tone them down more, or I can get rid of them entirely if need be. Alright enough talking, let's get started with this week's countdown!

Debuts:

Both debuts make their way out of the abyss. First up is Tate McRae's song Just Keep Watching from the F1 movie soundtrack. This has grown on me a lot since it first entered hitbound a month ago. The production here is super catchy and Tate sounds great. This is now my third Tate McRae song I've put as my purple song, the others being It's Ok I'm Ok and Sports Car, so let's hope this doesn't fade on me hard like those 2 songs did.

Ed Sheeran collabs with some Indian singer Arijit Singh, who Hits 1 credits for some reason, with Sapphire. This is just aright. The production is pretty upbeat and Ed sounds good, but this just feels slightly forgettable.

Countdown Extra: Twenty One Pilots - The Contract

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Alessi Rose - Same Mouth and Charli XCX - party 4 u [+5]

Apparently Alessi Rose is the next artist Hits 1 has to pick up on every song from. She's here with That Could Be Me. The production is pretty upbeat and she sounds good, but this is forgettable as hell.

We have yet another song from the F1 movie soundtrack, this time it's Ed Sheeran with Drive. I really like the alt rock production here, and Ed sounds great as always.

Benson Boone has released his new album American Heart, and here he is with Mr Electric Blue. This is another 80s synth pop song like Mystical Magical. This is slightly more forgettable than Mystical Magical, but it's still a really fun song.

The Jonas Brothers are back with No Time To Talk. This samples the classic 70s song Stayin' Alive by Bee Gees. This is super fun and yet another bop from them. Hopefully this does well.

Exits:

• The Paradox - Get The Message [1]
• Kehlani - Folded [1]
• SIENNA SPIRO - Dream Police [3]
• Crash Adams - New Heart [2]

None of these will be that missed.

No time to blurb:

We lost Good News and Sports car. Good riddance to Good News, it lasted way too long and did not need to reenter at all. Hopefully it stays gone for good this time. Sports car was also getting annoying and really needed to leave.

NOKIA has dropped to the bottom spot again and is now on its 10th week of being in the bottom 5. At this point I wanna see how long this can rot in the bottom 5 for.

It's a shame that What Was That has been flopping so hard, this deserved better.

I'm surprised What I Want is flopping so hard as it went #1 on Billboard and is doing well on Mediabase.

twilight zone can't make up its mind whether it wants to be in the top 10 or not.

Abracadabra really doesn't need to be all the way up at #3, it's getting quite old.

Busy Woman had a massive drop in airplay this week yet it still somehow stayed #1. Sally, When The Wine Runs Out jumped to #2 so I really hope it can overthrow Busy Woman from #1 next week.

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