Debuts:
Wow, this is unheard of. 3 re-entries!
Snap was growing on me a lot so I'm glad it's back.
Million Dollar Baby has started to fade on me a bit but I'm still glad it's back.
Remember Wrapped Around Your Finger? It spent a week on the countdown in June then left, and now it's back. This song has grown a lot on me since it left and I'm really glad it's back.
Our only new debut, Cuff It by Beyoncé. This song's pretty fun and Beyonce sounds great, but I slightly prefer Summer Renaissance more.
Hitbound:
THE LONELIEST - Måneskin
Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift (Debut)
EDGING - blink-182
100 degrees - kenzie (Debut)
dumb dumb - mazie (Debut)
Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean
WDIA (Would Do It Again) - Rosa Linn/Duncan Laurence (Debut)
Celestial - Ed Sheeran (re-entry)
Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter
Best Friends - 5 Seconds of Summer
Sex, Drugs, Etc. - Beach Weather
Hot All The Time - Leah Kate
Love About It - Waterparks/blackbear (Debut)
Heaven to Me - Havanna Winter
I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson
Narcissist - Avery Anna (Debut)
Yay, Celestial is back! This is a really cool EDM song.
3 debuts from people I've never heard of. First is 100 degrees by kenzie. This one's pretty good. The production's pretty cool and kenzie sounds great.
This next song is super bizarre. It's dumb dumb by mazie. This sounds similar to the Build A B**** song from last year. I don't really know how to feel about this one. This is just super weird, but mazie sounds pretty good.
Next is Avery Anna with Narcissist. This is okay. Her voice is really good but the production is just too boring.
Waterparks is a name I haven't heard in while. They had a song on the countdown in 2019 Dream Boy. They team up with blackbear with Love About It. I really like the pop punk production and blackbear's verse is great.
Duncan Laurence is back along with Rosa Linn with WDIA. I really hated Arcade last year, so I wasn't looking forward to new Duncan Laurence. But I'm happy to say that this one's pretty good. The production is fine but not special but Duncan and Rosa both sound good together.
Now the biggest song for last. Taylor Swift is finally back. I'm a pretty big fan of Taylor. I loved her songs from the 2000s and 2010s, but her newer songs have been kinda mediocre. She released two folk albums in 2020, folklore and evermore, which I wasn't a big fan of, but now she's back with a pop album. I've listened to most of the songs off the album, and most of them are good. Bejeweled is probably my favorite. But the lead single off the album will be Anti-Hero. Yeah, this song is great, and is probably going to be #1 for multiple weeks. The build-up is really nice and the chorus is great, and Taylor sounds amazing as always.
Exits:
omw - Ashe
Enough - charlieonnafriday
Charlie Be Quiet - Charlie Puth
curious/furious - WILLOW

Daylight - Harry Styles
Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage
Wrapped around your blurbs:
We lost Calm Down, Glimpse Of Us, About Damn Time, and Make You Say. ADT had a really historic countdown run, but it was super annoying, so I'm glad it's gone. Calm Down was never that good. GOU was terrible and never deserved to be here let alone 14 weeks. Make You Say was great but was slightly fading on me so I don't mind it's gone.
Evergreen hasn't moved. Hopefully it leaves soon.
It's hilarious that Pink Venom has been here for 8 weeks but hasn't peaked higher than 23.
Good riddance, can Late Night Talking leave soon please?
Same for So Boring.
Nice to see Hold Me Closer almost hit the top 5.
I Ain't Worried jumped to #2. I really hope it hits #1 next week.
Am I Ready 2 Be Annoyed is #1 this week. We went from not having a solo black female artist at #1 on the weekend countdown in 14 years to 2 in one year. Good for you Lizzo! As for the song itself, I'm not a big fan of it. I loved it when it came out, then Hits 1 decided to play it every 5 minutes and it got super annoying. But it's still a decent song and I don't mind it's #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!

Hey all, so I think I decided I'm gonna start reviewing the AT40 countdown. I don't know if I'll do it every week, but I'll do it if I have time. I won't be doing a full review like my Hits 1 posts, I'll just color code the songs and give some blurbs. People have been telling me that AT40 is better than Hits 1, but I'm not so sure. AT40 has been around for longer, since 1970, and they have all their countdowns archived. Unlike Hits 1, whose countdowns aren't archived anywhere and instead I have to rely on other people's posts. But Hits 1, on the other hand, tends to pick up on songs much earlier than other stations. And songs don't last as long on the weekend countdown as they do on AT40, after Hits 1 shortened the countdown. Hits 1 and AT40 both have their pros and cons, but I still think Hits 1 is better. So the primary focus of this blog will still be on Hits 1 and AT40 second. Alright, enough blabbering, let's get started!
Songs falling off:
Kane Brown - Grand (26)

Debuts:
Pink Venom and Forget me just now debuted after Hits 1 picked up on them a month ago.
Star Walkin' is amazing and I'm glad AT40 picked up on it also.
Numb little blurbs:
Bruh, Sweetest Pie just now left AT40!? Bad Decisions was pretty fun and I wished it could've debuted on the weekend countdown. Grand was fine but not that great.
Bruh, why are there so many old songs still here!!?? That's What I Want is still here!!?? Boyfriend, Big Energy, Numb Little Bug, As It Was, and First Class are also super old.
There's a song here, Escape, that Hits 1 never picked up on, it's actually a pretty cool EDM song. Not surprised Hits 1 didn't pick up on it, judging how they treat EDM.
I'm so glad Wait For U never entered the weekend countdown, it's almost as bad as Way 2 Sexy.
Ewwwwwwww, ⛪ is in the top 10!!!
Bruh, how is Ass It Was still in the top 5? And About Damn Time top 10?
Unsurprisingly, the overplayed song is #1, I'm so glad it never hit #1 on the weekend countdown.
That's all for now, see you Saturday for my Hits 1 post.
Hey guys! We had a pretty good week. We lost some old songs that really needed to leave and had some great new entrants. Also, I have fina...
