1: Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss (=) (16 weeks) [peak: 1 x 3 weeks]

Debuts:

Doja Cat is back with Paint The Town Red after Attention flopped. This is a lot better than Attention. This is pretty fun and Doja sounds good.

Kpop girl group NewJeans make their Hits 1 debut with Super Shy. This is pretty fun and everyone sounds great.

Post Malone replaces himself with Enough Is Enough. This is pretty good, and slightly better than Mourning but not as good as Chemical. The production is pretty cool and Post sounds good.

Kylie Minogue makes her return to the countdown since All I See in 2007, with Padam Padam. This is an amazing EDM song. The production sounds very Tiesto-y. It's not produced by him, but it is written by someone who writes songs for Tiesto. And Kylie's voice is amazing as always.

Countdown Extra: MAX/JVKE/Bazzi - Strings

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Noah Kahan/Post Malone - Dial Drunk (+8)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Jonas Brothers - Waffle House (-7)

NOTD/Maia Wright - AM:PM (re-entry) {4}

DJ Khaled/Lil Baby/Future/Lil Uzi Vert - Supposed To Be Loved (Debut)

Jelly Roll - NEED A FAVOR {8}

will.i.am/Britney Spears - Mind Your Business {4}

Olivia Rodrigo is back with bad idea right. And holy crap this is a banger. This reminds me of brutal and good 4 u. The pop punk production is really cool and Olivia sounds great. If this could please replace midpire that would be great.

The band BORT make their Hits 1 debut with Can You Hear Me. The group consists of Jordan McGraw, who had that Flexible song four years ago, Jack from DNCE, and Zach from All Time Low. This is a decent pop punk song. Jordan McGraw sounds good and the production is alright.

Flyana Boss, a rap duo consisting of friends Bobbi Lanea and Folayan Kunerede, are here with You Wish. This kinda slaps, and they both sound good.

AM:PM re-entered. This is kinda strange, since it doesn't seem to be getting a pop push or anything, but I don't mind as it's a really amazing EDM song.

DJ Khaled, Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert (who finally gets their first song on Hits 1) are here with Supposed To Be Loved. This is pretty fun and everyone sounds good.

Exits:

Teddy Swims - Lose Control {3}

Tori Kelly - Cut {2}

Bebe Rexha/David Guetta - One in a Million {1}

Lose Control finds itself in the abyss. One in a Million and Cut were amazing and deserved better.

Abyss:

Miguel - Sure Thing

Bakar - Hell N Back

Taylor Swift  - You're Losing Me (From The Vault)

iCandy - Keep Dat

Jain - Makeba 

Kaliii - Area Codes

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN

Harry Styles - Daylight

Busted/Jonas Brothers - Year 3000 2.0

Taylor Swift - I Can See You (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

Flo Rida - What A Night

Zayn - Love Like This

Teddy Swims - Lose Control

Blurb The Blurbs Red:

We lost Daylight, Last Night, and Mourning all for a second time, as well as Fast Car. They were all getting pretty old and annoying so I'm glad they're gone.

What Was I Made For really does not need to be jumping.

Nice to see In The Stars get a nice +7 jump.

Snooze needs to be snoozing off the countdown instead of jumping.

Summer Baby finally enters the top 10.

Nice to see What It Is in the top 7.

How is vampire still not in the top 5 yet?

Give Me A Kiss has managed to hold onto #1 for a third week now. I wonder how long it can hold there until Cruel Summer or vampire overtakes it.

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

1: Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss (=) (15 weeks) [peak: 1 x 2 weeks]

Debuts:

Hold Me Like a Grudge re-entered. This is a bit odd, since I thought Hits 1 was gonna push We Didn't Start The Fire instead, but I guess I'll take it.

After dropping out of hitbound last year and returning this year and being in the abyss for ages, In The Stars finally debuts. I really hated this last year but luckily it's grown on me a lot. This is a really amazing ballad and Benson Boone actually sounds really good.

Noah Kahan makes his return to the countdown after Hurt Somebody in 2018, with Dial Drunk with Post Malone. This is a really amazing folk song. The production is really catchy and Noah and Post both sound great.

Countdown Extra: Tori Kelly - Cut

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Fall Out Boy - We Didn't Start The Fire (+15)

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: TOMORROW X TOGETHER/Jonas Brothers - Do It Like That (-7)

Last year's #1 song: Harry Styles - Late Night Talking  (1/5 long and overrated weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Black Eyed Peas/David Guetta/Shakira - Don't You Worry

Least favorite song last year: Amelia Moore - i feel everything

Most missed song: Calvin Harris/The Weeknd - Over Now (2020) 

Recommendation for Hits 1: James Blunt - Beside You

5 oldest songs:

FIFTY FIFTY/Kaliii - Barbie Dreams {4}

Bebe Rexha/David Guetta - One in a Million (Debut)

Travis Scott/Bad Bunny/The Weeknd - K-POP {2}

Charli XCX - Speed Drive {2}

Lauv is back with Love U Like That after having that super annoying song last year All 4 Nothing. This is pretty catchy and Lauv sounds good.

Next up is one of the most random collabs ever. MAX, JVKE, and Bazzi are here with Strings. This is pretty fun and everyone sounds good.

Doja Cat is here with Paint The Town Red. This is a lot better than Attention. This is pretty fun and Doja sounds good.

Everyone's favorite recycling bin David Guetta is back along with Bebe Rexha with One in a Million. Apparently David Guetta ran out of songs to sample, because he sampled his own song When Love Takes Over. Despite the obvious sample, this song is amazing. The production is really cool and Bebe sounds amazing as always.

Exits:

Busted/Jonas Brothers - Year 3000 2.0 {1}

Presley Regier - Fly {1}

Year 3000 2.0 finds itself in the abyss, and Fly was super forgettable.

Abyss:

Miguel - Sure Thing

Bakar - Hell N Back

Taylor Swift  - You're Losing Me (From The Vault)

iCandy - Keep Dat

Jain - Makeba 

Kaliii - Area Codes

Pitbull/Lil Jon - JUMPIN

Kylie Minogue - Padam Padam 

Metro Boomin/NAV/A Boogie Wit da Hoodie/Swae Lee - Calling

Aqua - Barbie Girl

Harry Styles - Daylight

Busted/Jonas Brothers - Year 3000 2.0

Taylor Swift - I Can See You (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

Flo Rida - What A Night

Zayn - Love Like This

Blurb U Like That:

We lost Love Like This, Attention, and Chemical. Weird to see Love Like This flop, Hits 1 usually stans One Directioners. Attention wasn't that great and will get replaced by the better Paint The Town Red. And sad to see Chemical gone but it had a good run. 

How is What Was I Made For still here and jumping? I've only heard it once on Hits 1 the whole 3 weeks it's been here.

I'm not really sure why Do It Like That took a huge tumble. It had a ton of airplay and Hits 1 really stans the Jonas Brothers.

Snooze really needs to be snoozing off the countdown instead of jumping.

We Didn't Start The Fire took a huge 15 spot jump to almost the top 10. I'll gladly take it.

Nice to see What It Is in the top 10.

If Eyes Closed and Jaded could leave soon that would be fantastic.

Sorry Olivia Rodrigo stans, but vampire is almost getting as annoying as Deja Vu and Traitor. 

Give Me A Kiss is somehow still #1 this week. I thought Cruel Summer would overtake it but I guess not. I'm really glad Hits 1 is giving these songs that aren't a hit elsewhere a chance.

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