Stop! Using Your Blurbs As Weapons:

I Like You is the first song to join the 30 week club since You Broke Me First last year. I thought shortening the countdown was supposed to prevent these old songs from staying on the countdown so long. And out of all the songs why does it have to be the most annoying song of the year! This song has been here for 7 months, this is just getting ridiculous at this point.

It's Been So Long is finally starting to jump.

Super Freaky Girl really does not need to be jumping.

Lavender Haze keeps dropping for some reason.

Enough entered the top 10. This song is fading on me a bit but I'm okay with it.

Oof, looks like STAR WALKIN' got blocked from #1.

I'm Good jumped to #2 and will most likely be blocked from #1. I don't see it dethroning Anti-Hero, and a EDM song hasn't been #1 since Come & Go in 2020.

And Anti-Hero is still #1 for 7 weeks. I wonder if it can break Shivers' record, because I don't see any songs that could dethrone it, except maybe I'm Good, but it's very unlikely.

That's all for now, see you all in 2023!

2: STAR WALKIN' - Lil Nas X (=) (13 weeks) [peak: 2]

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

Least favorite song last year: GHOST TOWN - Benson Boone

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.
