Debuts:

SIENNA SPIRO has been announced as our new Hits 1 to Watch, and she debuts with Die On This Hill. I'm not really too thrilled that Hits 1 chose this at the next 1 to watch. Her other hitbound dropouts are so much better than this song. This is just a super generic piano ballad. But SIENNA's voice is amazing here, which is the only saving grace from this song being terrible.

Oh goodie, we get a Sunday Best this week. Kevin Jonas makes his solo countdown debut with Changing. I'm not really too thrilled Hits 1 let this song debut either. The production here is just super generic and underwhelming, but at least Kevin sounds good here.

Countdown Extra: Tate McRae - NOBODY'S GIRL

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Laufey - Lover Girl [+10]

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Ed Sheeran - Camera [-9]

Last year's #1 song: Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile (1/4 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Meg Donnelly - in my bag

Least favorite song last year: Gigi Perez - Sailor Song

Most missed song: Leah Kate - Twinkle Twinkle (2022)

Recommendation for Hits 1: Olly Murs - Guilty

It's a miracle, we only have one debut this week. Tyla returns with CHANEL. This is a fun little song. The afrobeats production is really catchy and Tyla sounds great. Hopefully this ends up being a hit.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Blurb:

We lost No Broke Boys for a second time and undressed. What was the point of randomly re-entering No Broke Boys 3 months after it left if it was just gonna only last another week? And good riddance to undressed. This debuted the countdown all the way back in May, and debuted hitbound all the way back in March. So this song has been on Hits 1 for the past 9 months. We really needed a break from this song.

So Unfair has grown on me a ton and becomes my purple song. 

Woah, Lover Girl got a massive 10 spot jump. This is doing a lot better on the countdown than I thought it would.

RIP to Camera which has dropped massively the past 2 weeks, but this song is super generic and really should leave soon.

Wow, nice to see WHERE IS MY HUSBAND in the top 5. I highly doubt it will go #1, but nice to see it so high.

Finally, it's about damn time The Fate of Ophelia went #1. It was going #1 on literally every other station besides Hits 1. This has lost a lot of airplay the past few weeks for some reason. It's currently only sitting at #10 in airplay. But I'm sure it will get a lot more spins now that is has gone #1. 

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