Hey guys! Well, if you saw yesterday's post, then you already know Hits 1 delayed the countdown to today, Sunday, due to the Taylor Swift weekend takeover. Because apparently, playing Taylor Swift non-stop for 13 hours straight is more important than the weekend countdown.

Debuts:
This is a very weird collab. From the GTA 6 soundtrack, Justice, Tame Impala, SZA, and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard team up to make Flower In A Hurricane. This is a phenomenal song and I'm glad it ended up debuting. The vocals from Kevin Parker and SZA, and the production from Justice are amazing. I'm not really sure why King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard are credited on this song since they don't have any production or vocal credits on this song.
Tate McRae makes her return to the countdown since TIT FOR TAT earlier this year with Housewife. This song is decent. The production is upbeat enough, and Tate sounds good, but this just sounds very forgettable.
Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan debut with a remix of expectations, making this Chappell Roan's first ever feature on a song. The original expectations was phenomenal, and the remix is even better. The 80s synthpop production is insanely catchy, and Olivia and Chappell both sound great together. This better spend multiple weeks at #1, or Hits 1 has a serious problem.
Countdown Extra: The Chainsmokers - Baby
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Bruno Mars - Dance With Me [+7]
Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Ariana Grande - petal [-4]

We have 2 songs this week debuting from the Nobody Wants This soundtrack, with one being better than the other. First up is the worse of the 2. STELLA LEFTY teams up with Bailey Zimmerman on My Kinda Love. Yeah, this song is forgettable as hell. The country production is super boring but at least Stella and Bailey sound somewhat decent together.
Next up is the best of the 2 Nobody Wants This debuts, Hands On Me. Finally, a good Maisie Peters song for once, after the snoozefests Audrey Hepburn and My Regards. This kind of sounds like a country version of Lost The Breakup. I can see this song growing on me.
LISA just released her new EP PRESS PLAY, and she's here with her next single Tarantino. This song is pretty fun. It has a cool Chinese action movie production, and LISA sounds good. This could grow on me.
Geez, I never thought I would have to talk about John Mayer on this blog, but here we are. John Mayer makes his long-awaited return to Hits 1 after 16 years since Half of My Heart with Taylor Swift was on the countdown back in 2010. That's how long John Mayer has been off Hits 1, the last time he was on Hits 1, he was still dating Taylor Swift. Anyways, he's back with Tom and Jerry. I usually enjoy John Mayer's music, and this is no exception. This is a nice little guitar ballad, and John Mayer sounds great as always. I'm really surprised Hits 1 picked up on this, because this feels more like an adult contemporary song that would spend 10 weeks at #1 on The Pulse, but I'm glad they did.

The Baddest Blurbs Ain't In LA:
We lost the cure, Earrings, brand new chanel$. the cure and Earrings were both great songs, but they were getting quite old. RIP to brand new chanel$, it did not need to flop that hard.
Nice to see Stop The Wedding getting a big jump.
Patient Zero only jumped one spot? I thought for sure, due to Taylor's takeover, that Patient Zero would have had a massive jump into the top 5 or even #1, but I guess not.
Nice to see Loser in the top 10.
Bass Persuades jumped to #4. I really hope this can be our next #1.
Animal is still #1 this week, but I don't expect this to stay #1 for much longer.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
