5: I Like You (A Happier Song) - Post Malone/Doja Cat (18 weeks)

Debuts:

Tate McRae is back with uh oh. Now I don't love her as much as some other people Hunter, and You Broke Me First was one of the worst songs of 2020, but she can make some bops, and this is one of them. This song has really grown on me since last week and after hearing it a few times on Hits 1. It's super catchy and Tate sounds great.

Snoozefest Sam is back...wait, this one isn't boring? It's Unholy along with Kim Petras. I know some people really hate this song, but how can you, this is such a bop. I really like the church choir vocals, and the trap beat is super cool. Sam Smith can make some really good songs when they're not boring.

Hitbound:

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

Sleepwalking - All Time Low (Debut)

Heaven to Me - Havanna Winter 

CUFF IT - Beyonce (Debut)

Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage (Debut)

Sex, Drugs, Etc. - Beach Weather

Charlie Be Quiet! - Charlie Puth (Debut)

The Loneliest - Måneskin (Debut)

HEARTFIRST - Kelsea Ballerini

curious/furious - WILLOW (re-entry)

Enough - charlieonnafriday (Debut) 

I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson 

Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean

fmk - GAYLE/blackbear (re-entry) 

Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo 

Tripping Over Air - Aidan Bissett

2 re-entries? Ok then. curious/furious is getting pushed to radio, so that's why it's back. It's grown on me a little after it left hitbound previously.

fmk is back for some reason. Ok, I guess. This song's fine.

All Time Low is back with Sleepwalking. This is pretty cool. I like the synthpop/rock production, kinda reminds me of Midnight City by M83.

Beyonce is back with Cuff It. This song is such a bop. I really like the disco production, and Beyonce sounds great.

Next up is the only rap song on Drake's new album, Jimmy Cooks. What is this, a half decent Drake rap song? I really liked the house songs off the album, and this one is pretty good too. The production is kinda interesting, and Drake doesn't sound half bad.

Charlie Puth is back with Charlie Be Quiet. This one's pretty good. This one isn't as gimmicky as Left and Right and Light Switch, which might be a good thing. The production is kinda interesting and Charlie sounds great.

Ok, what is this, Maneskin making a ballad? I really liked their other songs Beggin' and Supermodel, but The Loneliest is on the slower side. Damiano David does sound great, but the production is just too boring, although it gets slightly better towards the end.

Lastly, we have some guy I've never heard of, charlieonnafriday, with Enough. He sounds like a cross between Post Malone and The Kid Laroi. I really like this song. The production's cool and this Charlie guy sounds great.

Exits:

Heartbeat - Shawn Mendes

TWO SUGARS - Tai Verdes 

Mistakes - 24kGoldn

Celestial - Ed Sheeran

Monster - Leah Kate

Best Friends - 5 Seconds of Summer 

I'm Not Dead Yet - Mike Posner 

RIP I'm Not Dead Yet, my LOP award. Heartbeat is the countdown extra but left for some reason. Celestial was great and I'm not sure why it only spent 1 week in hitbound. And the rest won't be missed.

Abyss:

Wrapped Around Your Finger - Post Malone 

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

Unstoppable - Sia 

Die For You - The Weeknd

Bigger Than Me - Louis Tomlinson 

SNAP - Rosa Linn

Daylight - Harry Styles

Doing something un-blurby:

We lost Bones and Million Dollar Baby. Bones was here way too long and was getting almost as annoying as Enemy, so I'm glad it's finally gone. MDB was last week's biggest jump, then left this week, which is kinda hilarious. MDB is supposed to get a radio push Nov 1, so it may be back.

Vegas, Bad Habit, Numb, and Super Freaky Girl are starting to get really annoying.

How the hell is About Damn Time still here?

Can So Boring please stop jumping?

At least I Like You (An Overplayed Song) fell, and I haven't been hearing it on the radio as much as last week.

Aww, I Ain't Worried fell and didn't get #1 😭

Victoria's Secret jumped into the top 5 😍

Am I Ready 2 Be Annoyed is still blocked from #1, which I'm okay with.

Left And Right is still at #1. It's getting slightly overplayed, but I still love it.

I expect 🍣  to be #1 next week or very soon.

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

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Million Dollar Baby - Ava Max (+12)

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Super Freaky Girl - Nicki Minaj (-7)

Last year's #1 song: STAY - The Kid LAROI/Justin Bieber (4/6 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Beggin' - Måneskin

Least favorite song last year: Way 2 Sexy - Drake/Future/Young Thug

Most missed song: The Bad Touch - Bloodhound Gang (2000)

2: About Damn Time - Lizzo (24 weeks)

3: Bones - Imagine Dragons (24 weeks)

4: Maybe You're The Problem - Ava Max (22 weeks)

5: Late Night Talking - Harry Styles (18 weeks)

Debuts:

Our only debut comes from Lil Nas X, Star Walkin'. This song is incredible. The production is super cool, and Nas's flow is amazing.

Hitbound:

Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All) - Omar Apollo 

Heartbeat - Shawn Mendes (Debut)

TWO SUGARS - Tai Verdes 

uh oh - Tate McRae (Debut)

Mistakes - 24kGoldn (Debut)

Heaven to Me - Havanna Winter

Celestial - Ed Sheeran (Debut)

Monster - Leah Kate (Debut)

Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean 

Best Friends - 5 Seconds of Summer 

Tripping Over Air - Aidan Bissett 

HEARTFIRST - Kelsea Ballerini

I'm Not Dead Yet - Mike Posner 

I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson 

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby 

Sex, Drugs, Etc. - Beach Weather

Shawn Mendes is back with Heartbeat. This song is from the movie Lyle Lyle Crocodile. This song is really fun and catchy and Shawn sounds great.

Tate McRae is back with uh oh. Everyone seems to really like this one, but I'm mixed on this. The production is kinda cool but not really that interesting, but Tate does sound really good.

Next is 24kGoldn with Mistakes. 24kGoldn is usually known for his upbeat and fun songs, and this song is neither. I was expecting this song to pick up...and it never does. It's just the same guitar chord over and over. And is it just me, or does this sound very similar to New Light by John Mayer?

Ed Sheeran making an EDM song? He needs to start making more, because this one's a bop. The buildup and drop and nice, and Ed sounds great as always.

Leah Kate is back with Monster. C'mon Leah, you can do better than this! Life Sux and Twinkle Twinkle Little B**** were amazing, and Monster was really disappointing. It's just a basic trap beat. Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber's Monster is way better than this one.

Exits:

Unholy - Sam Smith/Kim Petras

29 - Demi Lovato

Wrapped Around Your Finger - Post Malone 

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

29 was terrible, Unholy might be back since it's still on the survey, and the rest are in the abyss.

Abyss:

Wrapped Around Your Finger - Post Malone 

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

Unstoppable - Sia 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco/BTS/Snoop Dogg 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

WAIT FOR U - Future/Drake/Tems 

Bigger Than Me - Louis Tomlinson 

SNAP - Rosa Linn

Daylight - Harry Styles

Star Blurbin':

This week we lost Grand. I'm really surprised it lasted this long, it was in the bottom 5 in airplay for almost its entire run.

Why is Until I Found You still here? It's super irrelevant. 

Week 12 of asking ⛪ to go away.

Week 16 of asking So Boring to go away.

World's Smallest Violin and Forget Me both made huge plus 10 jumps, I'm very happy for the former, and Waffle must be very excited about the latter.

I Like You (An Overplayed Song) really needs to go away too.

I Ain't Worried made a nice jump to #3

2 Be Loved (Am I Annoying) is still blocked from #1, which I'm okay with.

Wow, I was expecting MFASR to be #1 this week, but Charlie managed to hold him off for another week.

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

10k Pageviews Special

Hello and welcome to my 10k pageviews special! I just wanna say thank you to everyone who reads and comments on my blog. It means so much to me that you guys enjoy reading my posts, and I enjoy making them. When I created this blog 4 months ago, I didn't think I would ever reach 10k views, let alone surpass it. I know I hit 10k pageviews about a month ago, and I was gonna review the new Panic At The Disco album for that, but after listening to the album, it kinda sucked, and I did not want to review 12 songs that sounded exactly the same. Then college started and I got busy. But now I'm caught up with my schoolwork and had some free time, so I thought of new 10k special. I'm going to review the AT40 countdown for the week I was born, March 14, 2000. I wanted to review a Hits 1 countdown, but they didn't exist in 2000, so I decided to just review the AT40 countdown. Before continuing, I would suggest watching the above video I made of all the songs on the countdown, so you can at least get a snippet of them. Alright, enough rambling, let's get started!

Songs falling off:

Brian McKnight - Back At One (#18)

Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly (#36)

Counting Crows - Hanginaround (#38)

1. NSYNC - Bye Bye Bye (↔)

Ah yes, Hunter's favorite song. The #1 song on the countdown, and easily the best song here. A really amazing song from NSYNC. Justin Timberlake and company sound great, and the production is super cool. 

2. Backstreet Boys - Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely (↔)

The first of many boring ballads on this list.

3. Celine Dion - That's The Way It Is (↔)

Amazing song from Celine Dion, with a really good key change at the end.

4. Christina Aguilera - What A Girl Wants (↔)

Solid song from Christina, but is kinda boring.

5. Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You (↔)

A really boring ballad.

6. Third Eye Blind - Never Let You Go (↔)

Super cool pop punk song.

7. Blaque/NSYNC - Bring It All To Me (↔)

8. Lonestar - Amazed (↑4)

Really boring country song.

9. Blink-182 - All The Small Things (↑1)

Solid dance song, but not that interesting.

11. Sugar Ray - Falls Apart (↓2)

Really cool alt rock song.

12. Santana ft. Product G&B - Maria Maria (↑5)

Recognize this one? DJ Khaled sampled this on Wild Thoughts. The guitar from Santana is good, but the rest of the song isn't that interesting.

The guitar from Santana is really cool and Rob Thomas sounds amazing as always.

14. Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) (↓6)

Recognize this one? David Guetta sampled this one with I'm Good (Blue). A really cool electronic song.

15. Madonna - American Pie (↑1)

Solid but kinda boring song from Madonna.

16. Kid Rock - Only God Knows Why (↑3)

Kinda boring at first and there's way too much autotune on Kid Rock's voice, but the song gets way better towards the end.

17. Vertical Horizon - Everything You Want (↑3)

Solid alt song but kinda boring.

18. Smash Mouth - Then The Morning Comes (↓5)

20. Filter - Take A Picture (↓5)

The alternative production is interesting but kinda boring.

21. Macy Gray - I Try (↑2)

You might recognize this one, Shaylen covered this with Goodbye. Super nostalgic with a really good key change at the end.

22. Destiny's Child - Say My Name (↑2)

Back when Beyonce was still in Destiny's Child. A super nostalgic song.

23. TLC - Dear Lie (↓1)

Wow, what a snoozefest, I think I fell asleep listening to this.

24. Jennifer Lopez ft. Fat Joe & Big Pun - Feelin' So Good (↑3)

This one was kinda boring and not that interesting.

25. Creed - Higher (↑5)

I usually like rock, but this one is very boring.

26. Amber - Sexual (Li Da Di) (↓1)

I love late 90s and early 00s electronica, and this is no exception. The production is super fun, and while Amber doesn't sound great, she isn't too bad either.

27. Marc Anthony - You Sang To Me (↑4)

A solid ballad, but nothing special.

28. Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch (↑5)

This one was extremely sexual, but it's stupidly fun.

29. Ricky Martin ft. Meja - Private Emotion (↑3)

The production's pretty cool and Ricky Martin sounds great.

30. Montell Jordan - Get It On Tonite (↑4)

This one was pretty catchy.

31. Jessica Simpson ft. Nick Lachey - Where You Are (NEW!)

This one was extremely boring, but Jessica sounded pretty good.

32. Mandy Moore - Candy (↓6)

This one was pretty fun.

33. Mariah Carey ft. Joe & 98 Degrees - Thank God I Found You (↓5)

This one was really bad. It was super boring, and the music is way too loud and the vocals are way too quiet, I could barely hear them singing. 

34. Hoku - Another Dumb Blonde (↑5)

This song was pretty fun and Hoku sounds great.

35. Britney Spears - From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart (↓6)

C'mon Britney, you can do better than this! A really boring ballad from her, but Britney sounds great as always.

36. Enrique Iglesias - Rhythm Divine (↓1)

Solid chorus and vocals from Enrique.

37. Lenny Kravitz - I Belong To You (↑3)

Super catchy chorus and good vocals from Lenny Kravitz.

38. Westlife - Swear It Again (NEW!)

Just another generic ballad, but the group does sound pretty good.

39. Enrique Iglesias - Be With You (NEW!)

Solid chorus and Enrique sounds really good.

40. Bosson - We Live (↓3)

The production is pretty upbeat but nothing special, and the group sound pretty good.

I guess that's it for my 10k pageviews special. Thanks so much for reading my blog, it means so much to me. Bye for now!
