Debuts:
Eww, we really did not need more MidRepublic. What happened to them? Their last song on the countdown I Don't Wanna Wait was incredible. Need Your Love is just so incredibly mid. This sounds like something hot ac would eat up, this shouldn't be anywhere near pop radio.
Countdown Extra: Charlie Puth/Coco Jones - Sideways (???) We've had plenty of countdown extras that left hitbound the previous week, but none that have left hitbound 2 weeks ago.

Lady Gaga has teamed up with Doechii for a surprise release from the upcoming Devil Wears Prada 2 movie, RUNWAY. Wow this is a bop. This is Lady Gaga's best song in a long time. The dance-pop production is insanely fun and Lady Gaga and Doechii both sound great together. There's no doubt this will be a huge hit.
KATSEYE are back with PINKY UP. This is a fun song, not as great as Internet Girl though.
Hits 1 plant Tiffany Stringer is back again with Damn Good Actress. Eh, this is fine, but pretty forgettable and not as good as Bullet.
Oh goodie just what we needed, more forgettable Myles Smith folk crap. At least My Mess is a lot more upbeat than Drive Safe, but this is still extremely forgettable.
Holly Humberstone replaces herself again with White Noise. This song is kinda mid. The production is pretty forgettable and not nearly as great as To Love Somebody.
Teddy Swims has joined Mckayla Twiggs on stealing people's song titles. He jacked Kelly Clarkson's song title Mr. Know It All. Yeah, Kelly Clarkson has the better version. This is way too forgettable.
Apparently we didn't have enough Ella Langley, because she's here with Bottom Of Your Boots. This is a pretty fun country song, but I don't think it's as good as Choosin Texas.
Exits:
- RAYE/Hans Zimmer - Click Clack Symphony. [2; 2nd time]
- Maeve - Touch and Go [5]
- GIRLSET - Tweak [4]
- Holly Humberstone - Cruel World [4]
- Mckayla Twiggs - When Did You Get So Hot? [3]
- The Pussycat Dolls - Club Song [4]
Club Song deserved better. Click Clack Symphony luckily seems to be in the abyss. Everything else was mid.
2026 total dropouts: 63

Damn good blurbs:
Just one exit this week, Aperture. I really thought this was gonna go #1, but I guess not. Of course his one amazing song doesn't go #1.
Can Babydoll please do something and not just rot in the bottom 5?
Nice to see New Religion getting a big jump. Not too thrilled that Younger You and SWIM got big jumps too.
The Visitor luckily seems to be flopping because it barely had any airplay this week.
Nice to see Midnight Sun enter the top 10.
I still have no idea how bittersweet is still here, or how it's almost in the top 5.
Can Homewrecker just go #1 already? I just might be getting tired of I Just Might. I swear if it ends up getting blocked from #1...
That's all for now, see you all next week!

Ethan, Coming Up Roses seems to be playing a lot. Can we consider that as an abyss song?
ReplyDeleteIt's only had 4 spins the past 7 days so I don't think it's quite abyss yet.
