300k Pageviews Special - My Top 100 Songs of All Time

 

Hey guys! Wow, it's hard to believe I'm already at 300k pageviews. Thank you guys so much for all the support these past 3 years. It's been a while since I've celebrated a pageview milestone. The last one I did was my 10k pageview special back in 2022. A combination of laziness/unmotivation to make posts is the reason I didn't make specials for my 100k and 200k pageview milestones. I guess better late than never to continue celebrating my pageview milestones. For my 300k pageview special, I've decided to make a post that's been in the works for 2 years at this point. About 2 years ago, I created a Spotify playlist of my top 100 songs of all time and was planning to make a post about it. But I ended up scrapping the idea because at the time I didn't have the time or energy to make a post that big. But recently, I randomly stumbled upon that playlist, so I decided why not bring it back. I updated the playlist with new songs that grew on me, got rid of songs that faded on me, and changed the positions around on the rest of the songs. I want to iterate this is my personal opinion. If your least favorite song of all time is on this list, or your favorite song of all time isn't on this list, don't come crying to me. You can find the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/24o4d6YU9A9Z80H5dihtiL?si=6d9af6f5aaab4365 Alright, enough yapping, let's get started with my 100 favorite songs of all time!

Debuts: 

After dropping out of hitbound back in May, and randomly entering the abyss a month ago, All The Way finally debuts. This is pretty good. The country trap production is pretty upbeat and BigXthaPlug's rapping somehow works well with Bailey Zimmerman's country voice.

Hits 1 is back to picking up on random AJR non-singles now. After entering the abyss last week, The Big Goodbye debuts this week. I'm usually a huge AJR stan, but I'm not really feeling this song. This song is great don't get me wrong, Jack Met's voice is amazing as always, but this song seems very forgettable and is over 5 minutes long and seems to drag on forever. This just isn't nearly as amazing as Betty.

R&B singer Leon Thomas makes his first Hits 1 appearance with MUTT after being in the abyss for 2 months. This is just alright. The R&B production is very forgettable and this guy's voice sounds very weird.

Countdown Extra: The Chainsmokers - Smooth

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Lady Gaga - The Dead Dance [+12]

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Conan Gray - Vodka Cranberry and Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild [-7]

Last year's #1 song: Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! (2/2 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine

Least favorite song last year: Camila Cabello - GODSPEED

Most missed song: M.I.A. - Bad Girls (2013)

Recommendation for Hits 1: 3OH!3 - SLUSHIE

5 Oldest Songs

1. Tie between Benson Boone - Mystical Magical and Tate McRae - Revolving door {21w}
2. Tie between Myles Smith - Nice To Meet You, Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not, and sombr - undressed {20w}
3. Morgan Wallen/Tate McRae - What I Want {19w}
4. Machine Gun Kelly - cliché {17w}
5. Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild {16w}

Saja Boys/KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Your Idol [8]

KPop Demon Hunters Cast - How It's Done [8]

Doja Cat just released her 80s inspired album Vie, and she's here with Gorgeous. This isn't nearly as good as Jealous Type. Doja's singing and rapping sound good, but this production is a bit basic and seems forgettable.

It's been a very hot minute since we last heard from 5 Seconds of Summer. They had a feature on Galantis' Lighter last year, but they haven't had a solo song on Hits 1 since 2022, which seems hard to believe. They debut this week with NOT OK. I really love the alt rock production here, and the boys sound great as always. Hopefully this ends up being a big hit.

Wait, hold the phone, did Alessi Rose just release an amazing song for once in her life. She's back on Hitbound for the billionth time with First Original Thought. This is easily her best so far. The dance pop production is really fun and she sounds great here. 

Great, just when Tate McRae was starting to become good, she went back to being Tate MidRae. She's here with TIT FOR TAT, which apparently she only wrote 2 weeks ago on Sep 11. This song is not great at all. The production is just some insanely generic trap beat and Tate does not sound good here. Can this not become a hit please?

Exits:

• Thomas Day - she got a thing about her [9; 2nd time]
• flowerovlove - I'm your first [3]
• Jade LeMac - Running Home [2]
• BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT - HEART AWAY [2]

None of these will be missed.

I'm blurbing to Saskatchewan:

We lost party 4 u (again), Ordinary, and Same Mouth. I'll say good riddance to all these songs. Same Mouth was just basic girly pop that stuck around way too long. Ordinary stuck around way too long as well and did not deserve to be the song of the summer, it doesn't even sound like a summer song. And a special good riddance to party 4 u. It was extremely boring and did not deserve to reenter at all.

With party 4 u gone, I no longer have an orange song on the countdown again since May.

Omg Folded finally escaped the bottom 5 after 2 months. Congrats, I guess?

Nice to see The Dead Dance getting a huge jump.

back to friends jumped 10 spots into the top 10. This really needs to leave to make room for 12 to 12 instead.

Finally, I didn't think Manchild would ever leave the #2 spot.

Welp, Tears jumped to #2 this week, so it's almost certainly hitting #1 next week unless some miracle happens.

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

Debuts: 

Everyone's favorite Olivia "Goddess" Dean has returned to the countdown this week with Man I Will. I will say this is a big step up from Nice To Each Other. This has some pretty groovy production and Olivia sounds great here. But this song is just too damn forgettable. Hopefully this song does something instead of just rotting in the bottom 5 spots its entire countdown run.

Great just what we needed, another Ed Sheeran power ballad. He's here with Camera. Yeah this is not interesting to listen to at all. The production is alright, I guess, but it's just extremely boring. Let's hope this doesn't stick around for long, but it's Ed, so it will.

Countdown Extra: Demi Lovato - Here All Night

Oh wow, 10 debuts/reentries, let's get started then!

The Chainsmokers are back after a year with Smooth. Mikey compared this to Something Just Like This, and I can kinda see that. The production feels very nostalgic and it has a nice drop. Let's see if this ends up becoming a hit.

Oh nice, I was not expecting Hits 1 to ever pick up on this next song, but I'm very glad they finally did. I guess 3 months is better late than never. Laufey returns to hitbound with Lover Girl. Yeah, this song is nothing short of amazing. The jazz samba production is a weird combination but it works really well, and Laufey's voice is amazing. Can this please debut the countdown and not get robbed like Tough Luck did?

This is a very weird collab. Miley Cyrus has collabed with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood from Fleetwood Mac with Secrets. This song is alright. The 80s style production is a bit slow and generic and Miley just sounds alright. But luckily this isn't nearly as annoying as End Of The World was.

Oh great, we definitely needed these 2 people back. FINNEAS and Ashe created a band called The Favors, and they debut this week with David's Brother. This song actually isn't that bad. The production is pretty upbeat, and the 2 of them sound good here. This is neither of these artists' best songs, but it's far from their worst.

This next song sounds like something Hot AC would eat up hard. but not something that should be on Hits 1. Alexander Stewart and Lauren Spencer Smith have collabed on Friends Don't. Yeah, this is forgettable as hell, and I'm not really sure why Hits 1 felt the need to pick up on this.

We have more Madison Beer after a year with yes baby. Apparently she's just turned to EDM music now, like Demi Lovato. This is alright. The EDM production is pretty cool, but this just feels like a carbon copy of 15 Minutes from last year.

We have more RAYE with WHERE IS MY HUSBAND after Oscar Winning Tears and Born Again flopped hard earlier this year. This song is really good. The production is really fun and RAYE's voice is amazing as always. Hopefully this ends up being a hit.

Why did she got a thing about her reenter? And why after 9 weeks is Hits 1 still calling it "she got a thing about"?

Ok we really did not need more Lewis Capaldi. He's here with Something In The Heavens. Yeah this song is garbage. The production is just way too slow and Lewis sounds like a cross between a dying dog, a dying frog, a dying horse, a dying guinea pig, and a dying whale. At least Survive is somewhat tolerable. This is just complete garbage. Let's hope this doesn't debut but it almost certainly will.

Everyone's favorite Hits 1 plant People R Ugly are back with WAKE UP. This is a fun little bop, but it's not nearly as good as BETTER.

Exits:

• Knox - White Knuckles [3]
• Audrey Hobert - Thirst Trap [5]
• sombr - 12 to 12 [6; 2nd time]
• Machine Gun Kelly - cant stay here [6]
• BLACKPINK - BOOMBAYAH [1]
• Damiano David/Tyla/Nile Rodgers - Talk to Me [1]
• Conan Gray - Caramel [5]
• Crash Adams - New Heart [8; 2nd time]

12 to 12 is in the abyss so hopefully it debuts soon. I wish BOOMBAYAH could have lasted longer than 1 week but whatever. And nothing else will be missed.

Where are my blurbs?

We lost Just Keep Watching for a second time and Blue Strips. Just Keep Watching was a great song but I don't think it deserved to reenter in the first place. And good riddance to Blue Strips. It was complete garbage and stuck around way too long. It will probably end up being #1 on my worst list this year unless a worst song comes out.

With Blue Strips gone, party 4 u returns to being my orange song 4 months later. Can this song just die already?

The Dead Dance has grown on me a lot and becomes my purple song.

I thought Tears would jump into the top 5 this week but I guess not. It probably will next week.

The entire top 8 didn't change at all...

undressed is #1 yet again for a 6th week in a row. I only see one, maybe 2 more weeks at #1 until Tears eventually takes over the #1 spot.

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