Debuts:

Nice To Each Other reentered. Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, okay then???????? This is the most forgettable song that's ever been released, and really did not need to come back at all.

Sabrina Carpenter's Tears debuts all the way at #22. This song isn't actually that bad. The production is pretty groovy, and Sabrina sounds great here. But it's only a matter of time until this song goes #1 and gets extremely annoying.

Lady Gaga is back with a song called The Dead Dance that was featured on the show Wednesday. This is pretty good. The production is pretty groovy but seems a bit basic, but Lady Gaga sounds great as always. I wish they would have picked up on Kill For Love instead.

Justin Bieber released a deluxe version of SWAG, and he's here with LOVE SONG. This is not what we needed. We did not need more forgettable R&B crap. This is even more boring than DAISIES. Hopefully this flops hard.

Bro, can Hits 1 please stop trying to make flowerovlove a thing? She's back yet again with I'm your first. This song is fine. The production is fairly upbeat but this is forgettable as hell.

Lastly, 12 to 12 reentered. This has grown on me a lot since it left and I'm really glad it's back. Hopefully this can debut the countdown.

Exits:

• sombr - i wish i knew how to quit you [2]
• Thomas Day - she got a thing about her [8]
• Claire Rosinkranz - Dancer [3]

Literally none of these will be missed.

I could eat these blurbs for lunch:

We lost Betty for a second time and No Broke Boys. No Broke Boys deserved better, but it's still in the abyss, so it could come back. Betty was an amazing song, but it faded on me a lot, and it didn't need to reenter in the first place. 

Nice to see JUMP and Jealous Type getting big jumps.

Blue Strips and party 4 u have been here for months but they've just been rotting in the bottom half of the countdown. Just leave already!

back to friends entered the top 10. Okay, then. I wish it was 12 to 12 instead.

It looks like Golden won't be hitting #1 after all.

Ummm, why is Love Me Not back in the top 5?

The top 3 did not change at all again. I'm surprised undressed has held at #1 this long, but I'm glad it has.

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