Debuts:
After leaving hitbound all the way back in August and being in the abyss for months, I Love You, I'm Sorry finally debuts. This has grown on me somewhat since I called it "This song is boring, I'm sorry." The production while slow is still nice and Gracie sounds good.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Shaboozey - Good News, Morgan Wallen - Love Somebody, The Weeknd - Dancing In The Flames, and Lady Gaga - Disease [+5]
Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between LISA - Moonlit Floor, Myles Smith - Stargazing, and Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club [-5]
Last year's #1 song: Olivia Rodrigo - get him back! (2/4 weeks at #1)
Favorite song last year: AJR - Inertia
Least favorite song last year: Doja Cat - Agora Hills
Most missed song: Calvin Harris/The Weeknd - Over Now (2020)
Recommendation for Hits 1: Jelly Roll - Run It

First up we have some rando named Lola Young with Messy. This sounds very forgettable and her voice isn't that great.
Kpop group TWICE and Megan Thee Stallion collab with Strategy. This is really fun and everyone sounds great.
An almost 2 year old RAYE song called Oscar Winning Tears is just now becoming popular because apparently it played over a video of her reacting to her 2025 Grammy nominations. The production is really good and RAYE's voice is amazing as always.
I don't think So Cold or good old days are ever gonna leave...
Exits:
DJ Lucas Beat/Jason Derulo/Sia - You Can Do Anything [1]
Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams [6] [2nd time]
Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You [4] [2nd time]
You Can Do Anything grew on me a lot and finds itself in the abyss. Not sure why Bad Dreams reentered last week when it just left this week. And Nice To Meet You was very forgettable.
Abyss
DJ Lucas Beat/Jason Derulo/Sia - You Can Do Anything
Megan Moroney - Am I Okay?
Eminem/Jelly Roll - Somebody Save Me
KATSEYE - Touch
Meghan Trainor - Criminals
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
Sabrina Carpenter - Bad Chem
Harry Styles - Daylight
Who is Megan Moroney and why does she have a random song in the abyss? And why is Somebody Save Me randomly in the abyss also?
Oscar winning blurbs:
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart finally left this week. Despite being here for 8 months, it never faded on me, but it really needed to leave.
Hits 1 really liked the number 5 this week since there were a ton of 5 spot jumps and drops.
Hits 1 switched to the Joe Jonas remix of Burning Down. I guess this is slightly better.
Disease jumped to #4. Hopefully this can be a new potential #1.
Did Close To You really need to jump to #2? Hopefully this ends up getting blocked from #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
