Miley Cyrus is here with her new song Younger You from the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana. It's written for the younger version of herself. I mean, the lyrics are nice, but the song is way too boring. I don't know if I see this song doing well, but I guess we'll see.

Sigh. Just when Dominic Fike released the banger Babydoll, he had to team up with the annoying Ravyn Lenae on Reputation. This song is mid as hell. The production is super boring, Ravyn doesn't sound that great, but at least Dominic sounds good which is the only saving grace of the song.

Glad to see that Hits 1 realized I Know You're Hurting sucked and they decided to let Click Clack Symphony come back. This has grown on me a lot and hopefully this does end up being the next single.

Eww, we really did not need more MidRepublic. They're back with Need Your Love. I don't know why all their songs these past few years have been forgettable as hell. And Need Your Love is no expection. The production is insanely generic, and Ryan Tedder usually sounds great but in this song he sounds like garbage like there's some kind of weird effect on his voice.

Charlie Puth just released a bonus track off of Whatever's Clever, and he replaces himself with Reply to This. This is so much better than Sideways. The production is super fun and Charlie sounds great. Hopefully this ends up being the next single.

We have a random unannounced MONSTA X song on hitbound called heal. I kinda forgot about MONSTA X ngl. We haven't seen them since You Problem dropped out of hitbound back in early 2022. This song is kinda mid and I'm not sure why Hits 1 has randomly picked up on this.

I'm sorry, but who the hell are these people? We have 2 random nobodies named Casey Lee Williams and Andrew Kierszenbaum on fire for me. It looks like Casey is the lead singer of some rock band called Ok Goodnight. And Andrew is some composer who has composed music for the TV series Arcane. Despite being 2 nobodies, this song is kinda good. The EDM production is pretty groovy and singer Casey sounds pretty good. I could see this growing on me.

Exits:

• RAYE - I Know You're Hurting. [1]
• Charlie Puth/Coco Jones - Sideways [1]
• KEVNN C. - You Won't Catch Me Crying [3]
• Vella - Dance Without You [1]
• Lizzo - Don't Make Me Love U [2]

RIP to Dance Without You. Good riddance to I Know You're Hurting. And everything else was mid.

2026 total dropouts: 57

Estimated total for 2026: 165 (+3)

Abyss

Bruno Mars - God Was Showing Off [1] [New]

Twenty One Pilots - Drag Path [2]

Kygo/Khalid/Gryffin - Save My Love [4]

Corbyn Besson/TZUYU - Blink [5]

Jason Derulo - Sexy For Me [6]

Doja Cat - Gorgeous [7]

Pitbull/Lil Jon - Damn I Love Miami [7] [Reentry]

Zara Larsson - Lush Life [10]

KPop Demon Hunters Cast - How It's Done [23]

At least Damn I Love Miami is back in the abyss. God Was Showing Off had 12 spins this week so I'm adding it to the abyss at least for now.

No longer in the abyss:

• Taylor Swift - Wi$h Li$t [4]
• MAX/Andy Grammer - The Thing I Love [13]

I still have no idea how The Thing I Love lasted over 3 months in the abyss.

Blurb For Me:

Just 1 exit this week, Dying for You. This song was super mid, but I don't think it deserved to flop that hard. Oh well.

Hits 1 finally switched to the JENNIE remix of Dracula. I really wish they didn't because she ruins an incredible song. The remix is still great, but I just wish it didn't have to exist.

Thankfully The Great Divide dropped hard because it really didn't need to be in the top 10.

Nice to see Aperture making a comeback.

Ummmmm, how is bittersweet almost in the top 5? Okay, then.

Can Homewrecker just go #1 already please?

Opalite jumped back to #2. I swear if this returns to #1...

I Just Might has now been at #1 for 6 weeks in a row. This is a great song, but it's getting kinda old, and a new song really needs to overtake #1 soon.

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