Biggest Jump Of The Week: Easy Lover - Ellie Goulding, Big Sean (+15). Yesss, this song is amazing.
Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) 👵(-12). Yes, burn baby burn.
Debuts:
First up is Bad Habit by Steve Lacy. This song's kinda weird, but it's a nice little chill song.
FLETCHER makes her way back onto the countdown since 2019's Undrunk, with Becky's So Hot. The production is pretty cool and FLETCHER sounds pretty good.
Jax is back on the countdown after last year's 90's Kids, with Victoria's Secret. Some people don't like this song, but I quite like it. I like the pop punk production, and the song has a really good message.
After being in the abyss for months, Music For A Sushi Restaurant finally debuts. This song has faded on me a bit after hearing it for so long, but it's still really good. I really like the production here. It sounds like David Bowie or Prince or something. And since this is Harry Styles, it's probably going to reach #1.
Last Year's #1: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (2/5 weeks at #1)

Hits 1, we don't need any more Amelia Moore. She's back with love me or leave me alone. I didn't think she could make a song worse than i feel everything, then this released. This song is just terrible. At least i feel everything had some redeemable qualities, like a groovy production. But the production here is super boring. And there's Amelia herself, she sounds terrible. She's whisper singing in the verses, and doing her signature screeching in the chorus. Hits 1, can we not make this a thing, please?
After one of the worst songs I've ever heard, we have one of the best. Megan Thee Stallion just released a new album, and we have Her. It seems like everyone's making house music nowadays. Drake, Beyonce, and now Megan. This song is just extremely fun and catchy. Megan sounds amazing, and I really like the chorus when the bass drops and it goes "her her her her her her, she she she she she". Just a super fun song and I hope it does well.
Remember The Eulogy Of You And Me from last year? LilHuddy, now called just Huddy, is back with All the Things I Hate About You. The punk rock production is good and Huddy sounds good.
Nicki Minaj has returned to Hits 1 after it seems like forever, with Super Freaky Girl. This song samples Super Freak by Rick James. The sample sounds really good and so does Nicki.
Last up, we have Ferrari by James Hype and Miggy Dela Rosa. Apparently this song is #1 on BPM. This is a really fun dance song. The production by James Hype is really good and Miggy Dela Rosa sounds good too.

I know Victoria's blurbs:
We lost i feel everything, As It Was, Potion, and Massive. i feel everything was one of the worst songs I've ever heard. As It Was had a great run. Potion was painfully mediocre. Massive was good but not that memorable.
How did Middle Of A Breakup not move? It's #4 in airplay.
Bones is starting to get as annoying as Enemy.
Maybe You're The Problem is getting way too overplayed and it's super annoying. But it's still a good song.
Can When You're Gone go away please. It's been in the top 5 for what seems like months.
I thought 2step would leave, but it got a huge drop this week. Hopefully it leaves next week, it's starting to get really annoying.
No! Don't You Worry dropped. But I'm happy I Ain't Worried jumped.
Wow, I was not expecting Sunroof to dethrone Harry Styles. Hopefully it can for at least a little while longer.
That's all for now, see you all next week.
