Welp. Daniel decided to prank the Hits 1 server again by leaking a fake countdown. I actually fell for it too until I looked on the app and the countdown wasn't there. But I decided to go ahead and still write the fake countdown review. Let's get started with the real countdown!
Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown:

Dasha is back with Didn't I. This is not near as good as Austin. This is kinda boring but Dasha sounds really good.
Katy Perry is back with more solo music after 4 years (she also had a feature on Alesso's When I'm Gone 2 years ago) with Woman's World. This isn't a great comeback song from her. This is just a generic woman anthem song and the music video really sucks, but Katy does sound great like she always does.
Eminem just released his new album, and he's here with Somebody Save Me that samples Jelly Roll's Save Me. Save Me is such a weird song to sample but ok then. Eminem sounds great, the sample somehow works, but this is just kinda forgettable.
Some rando named flowerovlove who I know nothing about cuz her Spotify description only says "18" is here with Boys. This is a fun little bop and her voice is great but this is very forgettable.
Australian DJ CYRIL is here with Stumblin In'. This is a good but very generic EDM song that I'm not gonna remember 2 seconds after listening.
I guess Hits 1 forgot Henry Moodie was the one to watch because they haven't mentioned it again after that one time.
Exits:
Moneybagg Yo/Morgan Wallen - WHISKEY WHISKEY [1]
RAYE - Genesis, pt. ii [4] x2
Ashe - Running Out Of Time [2]
UPSHAL - Summer So Hot [3]
BIA/JID - Lights Out [2]
WHISKEY WHISKEY finds itself in the abyss. Genesis was great but was nowhere near her best. Running Out Of Time is just another generic Ashe dropout. And I don't even remember what Summer So Hot or Lights Out sounded like.
Abyss
Moneybagg Yo/Morgan Wallen - WHISKEY WHISKEY
Coldplay - feelslikeimfallinginlove
Myles Smith - Stargazing
Wallows - Calling After Me

Blurbin' In:
Well this was a very uneventful week compared to the fake countdown. There were no exits, which sucks but makes sense cuz WHISKEY WHISKEY was the only hitbound song getting spins. But this week wasn't all boring cuz there were a few big jumps and drops.
Fortnight didn't quite drop 20 spots like the fake countdown but it still managed to drop a whopping 14 spots.
RIP Houdini. I wonder if Hits 1 will push Somebody Save Me instead.
Can End of Beginning just go commit Samsung Galaxy Note 7 already please? Good riddance this is one of the most mid songs ever made.
Good Luck, Babe jumped to #5. This is fine, even if I prefer Hot To Go more.
Espresso is getting very annoying and needs to leave the #1 spot soon.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
