Blurb: This is a fun little indie rock song. It reminds me a lot of The 1975's Chocolate. But yeah, like with most these songs on this list, this is a bit on the forgettable side.

Blurb: Remember 2022 and 2023 when Hits 1 picked up on literally every Havanna Winter song? Well she has 4 songs on this list. Hollywood Forever was actually pretty good and is my second favorite of her hitbound dropouts.

Blurb: Oh boy, this song. What the hell was even What The Hell? Why is con artist Anna Delvey even credited on this? She literally just says her name at the start of the song. Tik Toker Brooke Butler is the one doing all the singing. This is probably the most weird and random song Hits 1 has ever picked up on. And Hits 1 has picked up on a lot of weird music over the years.
My Rating: 5/5 = Amazing
