Debuts:

Wait, hold the phone, did Doja Cat just release an 80s synthpop banger? As you're probably aware, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Doja Cat. She's released some incredible music like Say So, Celebrity Skin, and Get Into It (Yuh). But she's also released some garbage songs that instantly make me want to vomit like Need To Know, Agora Hills, and MASC. Luckily this song joins her incredible list. I already know this song will end up being a huge hit, and maybe give Doja Cat her first ever #1 song on Hits 1?

Oh joy, just what we needed. Sabrina Carpenter has released her new album Man's Next Friend, and here she is with Tears. This honestly isn't that bad. The production is pretty groovy and Sabrina sounds pretty good here. But I always say this to every Sabrina song that debuts hitbound, and it won't stay good for long when it inevitably spends its 900th week at #1. 

Ok wow, I was not expecting Eminem to debut hitbound this week. He's back with Everybody's Looking At Me. Apparently this was originally an unreleased song from 2002, then he rerecorded it and added a few verses. This is really good. Eminem's rapping is amazing and reminds me a lot of his earlier songs. Hopefully this ends up being a hit.

Knox has released a deluxe version of Going, Going, Gone and he's back on hitbound for the millionth time with White Knuckles. The deluxe album only has 2 new songs, which doesn't really seem deluxe to me, but whatever. This song is just alright. The production is forgettable as hell, but at least Knox sounds great as always. 


Exits:

  • Zara Larsson - Crush [2]
  • Alessi Rose - Dumb Girl [5]

Crush deserved better. And Dumb Girl was just, well, dumb.


2025 total dropouts: 131

Estimated total for 2025: 179 (-2)


Abyss

Taylor Swift - So High School [1]

Taylor Swift - loml [1]

Taylor Swift - Robin [1]

Taylor Swift - Mary's Song (Oh My My My) [1]

Olivia Dean - Nice To Each Other [1]

Leon Thomas - MUTT [2]

Demi Lovato - Fast [3]

Saja Boys/KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Soda Pop [4]

Saja Boys/KPop Demon Hunters Cast - Your Idol [4]

KPop Demon Hunters Cast - How It's Done [4]

PinkPantheress - Illegal [4]

Alex Warren - Eternity [6]

Mariah The Scientist - Burning Blue [7]

Ed Sheeran/Arijit Singh - Sapphire [7]

Great just what we needed, more random old Taylor Swift songs in the abyss.


Victoria was made up by a blurb:

Just 1 exit this week, Nice To Each Other. This was forgettable as hell and it just spent its entire run rotting in the bottom 3 spots. It seemed like something my local Kohl's store would play, not something that should be on pop radio.

Lol to Alex Warren having both the biggest jump and biggest drop. I'm surprised Ordinary dropped so hard since #1 songs usually just leave the countdown from the top 10.

Can Survive please stop surviving? This really needs to leave.

Golden keeps climbing towards that #1 spot.

Nice to see sombr holding off Sabrina from #1 yet again. Hopefully it can continue to do so.

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