Debuts: 

Jack Harlow Sunday Bests with Hello Miss Johnson. Finally a Jack Harlow song that doesn't make me immediately want to vomit. Lovin On Me was awful and will probably end up being my worst song this year. Luckily Hello Miss Johnson is so much better. The jazz style production is really fun and Jack sounds great.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Khalid - Heatstroke [+12]

Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: KATSEYE - Touch [-7]

Last year's #1 song: Tate McRae - greedy (7/11 long weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: LANY - XXL

Least favorite song last year: Doja Cat - Agora Hills

Most missed song: blink-182 - The Rock Show (2001)

Recommendation for Hits 1: G-Eazy - Nada

Hitbound

Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You [3]

ROSÉ - number one girl [2]

almost monday - can't slow down [5]

Kendrick Lamar/SZA - luther [Debut]

Jessie Murph - Sip [5]

Twenty One Pilots - The Line [2]

Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson [SB]

Balu Brigada - So Cold [10]

Meg Donnelly - in my bag [3]

The Marías - No One Noticed [3]

Kendrick Lamar/SZA collab with luther. They both sound alright but this is very boring.

Ariana Grande replaces herself with another song from Wicked, Defying Gravity with Cynthis Erivo. I'm not sure why Hits 1 replaced Popular because Popular seemed to get a radio push and this hasn't. It's a shame because Popular was starting to grow on me. Defying Gravity is alright I guess. It's another forgettable musical song that's way too long.

Exits:

Ariana Grande - Popular [1] SOTW

Lil Nas X - need dat boy [1]

Popular was just starting to grow on me and I'm not sure why Hits 1 keeps making the countdown extra leave hitbound, and need dat boy was just alright.

Abyss

Joe Jonas - Work It Out

Katy Perry/Doechii - I'M HIS, HE'S MINE

Taylor Swift - So High School

Akon - Akon's Beautiful Day

Lil Nas X - LIGHT AGAIN!

The Kid LAROI/Quavo - SLOW IT DOWN

Jason Derulo/Jawsh 685 - Make Me Happy

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine

Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action

Charli XCX/Ariana Grande - Sympathy is a knife (remix)

Sabrina Carpenter - Bad Chem

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry

Harry Styles - Daylight

Um, why is Work It Out randomly getting spins again?

Nice to Blurb You:

Just one exit this week, I'M HIS, HE'S MINE. I'm not really sure why this reentered because it was already starting to flop the first time it left.

Why did Pink Pony Club and That's So True have such high debuts last week if they were both just gonna drop 3 spots this week?

Nice to see APT finally get in the top 10. Hopefully this hits #1 soon.

Um, why in the actual hell did Heatstroke randomly jump 12 spots to #8? I thought we were finally about to be rid of the most generic song that's ever been made.

It's about damn time Die With A Smile finally hit #1. It's been #1 on mediabase for a few weeks now and Hits 1 has been refusing to make it #1 for some reason. Die With A Smile is kinda an underwhelming comeback ballad, but I'll gladly take anything else besides Taste at #1. This marks Lady Gaga's first #1 since Born This Way in 2011, and Bruno's first #1 since That's What I Like in 2017.

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