1: Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift (=) (9 weeks) [peak: 1 (6 weeks)]


Debuts:

The first debut is Creepin' by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage. This song has grown on me a little over the past few weeks. The production is very catchy and The Weeknd and 21 Savage both sound great.

I thought SZA's new single was Shirt, but here we have Nobody Gets Me instead. I would say this is better than Shirt. The production is decent but I'm not really a big fan of SZA's voice.


Countdown Extra: Too Well - Reneé Rapp

Biggest Jump Of The Week: I’m Good (Blue) - David Guetta/Bebe Rexha (+6) 

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: 6 way tie between Left And Right - Charlie Puth/JungkookLavender Haze - Taylor SwiftWorld’s Smallest Violin - AJRMade You Look - Meghan TrainorMillion Dollar Baby - Ava MaxUnholy - Sam Smith/Kim Petras (-2)

Favorite song last year: Bite Me - Avril Lavigne

Sweater Weather - Neighbourhood 



Merry Blurbmas!

We lost Lift Me Up and fmk. Lift Me Up was terrible so I'm glad it's gone. fmk was also very boring so it won't be missed.

Barely any movement this week. The biggest drop was only -2 with 6 songs.

I wish It's Been So Long could do something here.

I'm convinced I Like You is never gonna leave.

It's hilarious Lavender Haze dropped 2 spots after its high debut last week.

I'm Good jumped back up to #3. Hopefully that or Star Walkin' can overthrow Anti Hero.

Anti-Hero is #1 for a 6th week in a row. I don't really mind, but hopefully this doesn't stay #1 for much longer.

That's all for now, merry Christmas, and see you next week!

2022 Hits 1 Year End List

 It's time to take a look at the 2022 Hits 1 year end list, where Hits 1 counts down the top 30 biggest songs.

30: Taylor Swift - Message in a Bottle

This song was pretty fun, but did get kinda overplayed.

29: Ed Sheeran - Shivers

This song broke the #1 record, how was this not higher? I do love this song, even if it didn't deserve to break the record.

28: Tiësto/Ava Max - The Motto

This song is super dark and I love it.

27: Halsey - So Good

Another Halsey snoozefest.

26: OneRepublic - I Ain't Worried

Extremely fun and catchy.

25: Marshmello/Khalid - Numb

This was pretty fun but did get kinda old.

24: Jax - Victoria's Secret

I love the pop punk production, and it has a good message.

23: Post Malone/The Weeknd - One Right Now

This got extremely annoying.

22: Tate McRae - she's all i wanna be

The production was super cool

21: Imagine Dragons - Bones

Another annoying ID song.

20: Jack Harlow - First Class

The production is super bland and Jack Harlow sounds terrible.

19: Shawn Mendes - When You're Gone

This felt super generic.

18: NEIKED/Mae Muller/Polo G - Better Days

Really fun EDM song.

17: Charlie Puth/Jung Kook - Left and Right

Super fun and I love the speaker gimmick.

16: Ava Max - Maybe You're The Problem

This was generic and way too overplayed.

15: Harry Styles - Late Night Talking

The production is pretty cool but this got way too annoying.

14: Post Malone/Doja Cat - I Like You (A Happier Song)

Extremely annoying and overplayed.

13: Lauren Spencer-Smith - Fingers Crossed

A carbon copy of Lewis Capaldi's Before You Go.

12: Latto - Big Energy

This got super annoying.

11: Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti

Good but nothing special.

10: Em Beihold - Numb Little Bug

This was good but slightly weird.

9: Dua Lipa/Megan Thee Stallion - Sweetest Pie

My second worst song of 2022/

8: GAYLE - abcdefu

Good pop punk song but got kinda annoying.

7: Charlie Puth - Light Switch

This was super fun and the production is really cool.

6: Imagine Dragons/JID - Enemy

Everybody wants to be my enemeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! If you read my worst list, then you know this was my worst song of 2022.

5: Dove Cameron - Boyfriend

The production was super cool, but this did get kinda overplayed.

4: Lil Nas X - That's What I Want

I thought this song would be #1 but I'm happy it made it this far. This song was super fun and dethroned Shivers from #1.

3: Nicky Youre/dazy- Sunroof

One of my favotie songs of 2022, and my favorite on this list. This was the ultimate summer song.

2: Lizzo - About Damn Time

Not the worst Lizzo song, but it still got super annoying.

1: Harry Styles - As It Was

Why am I not surprised Harry The Clown is #1. This was #1 the longest at 8 weeks, so it's no surprise it's #1 here. This song has grown on me slightly, but it's still not a great song.


Well, that does it for now. Stay tuned for my Hits 1 year in review post sometime in Jan.

Debuts:

Debuting all the way at #11 with hardly any airplay is Lavender Haze by Taylor Swift. I like this song. It's a nice little vibey song, and it's way better than Anti Hero. Hopefully this does well.

These Nights - Loud Luxury/KIDDO (re-entry) {2}

Paper Crown - Alec Benjamin {3}

First up is actress Reneé Rapp with Too Well. I'm really liking this one. The production is super fun and she has a great voice.

SZA replaces herself with Nobody Gets Me. This is slightly better than Shirt, but not by much. The production is slow but decent and SZA sounds decent.

These Nights re-entered. I'd rather Paralyzed came back, but I guess I'll take it.

Who the heck is Kate Peytavin? Apparently she's a TikTok star or something. She makes her Hits 1 debut with ever fallen. Apparently this song samples a Shrek 2 song. Idk, I've never seen that movie. This is decent I guess. The production is decent and she also sounds decent.



Exits:

i'm yours - Isabel LaRosa {4}

Shirt - SZA {1}

Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta {7}

Dreamers - Jung Kook/BTS/Fifa Sound {2}

Shirt and Dreamers exit to the abyss. Remember was great, and i'm yours was super boring.


Abyss:

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Hollywood Forever - Havanna Winter

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

Shirt - SZA

Dreamers - Jung Kook/BTS/Fifa Sound

Narcissist - Avery Anna

Simply The Best - Black Eyed Peas/Anitta/El Elfa 

The Loneliest - Måneskin


Lavender Blurbs:

Good grief 2 Be Loved finally left, it was getting extremely annoying.

I've really grown on It's Been So Long. Hopefully this can do well here.

Thank God Evergreen just dropped.

Lift Me Up didn't drop but at least it didn't jump either.

I Like You needs to do less jumping and more leaving the countdown.

golden hour entered the top 10. This song is weird but good.

Star Walkin jumped to #2. Hopefully this can overthrow Anti Hero.

And of course Anti Hero is still #1. This song is getting kinda annoying, so it better leave #1 soon.

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