sombr (3) - Week of May 16, 2026

 


Well, this week was gonna be the more boring week in history. Then the second half of the countdown started to get interesting. So, I guess this is the most boring week in history...kinda.



Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown: 

Oh wait, there's nothing here...

Gracie Abrams just announced her new album "Daughter from Hell" releasing on July 17, and we have the first single from it Hit the Wall. Mikey said this was the "poppiest" song on the album. If that's the case, then I don't have high hopes for this album. The production is pretty boring here. It starts to pick up a little towards the end, but not really by much. And Gracie doesn't sound that good here. Yeah, I can tell this song is going to get very annoying very quickly. 

On a more positive note, we have a collab between Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran called Repeat It, that apparently has been in the works since 2014. This is a really nice EDM song. It has a great drop and Ed sounds great. Hopefully this can become a hit.

I did not have a Machine Gun Kelly and Wiz Khalifa collab on my Bingo card for 2026, but here we are. girl next door is alright. The production is pretty upbeat and they both sound good together, but this seems very forgettable.

Geeze, Drake just released 3 albums on the same day. Ain't nobody got time to listen to all that! He's here with I guess is the first single 2 Hard 4 The Radio. The title doesn't lie, this song is a bit too hard for the radio. This song is actually pretty good. It's a lot better than Nokia. The production is pretty fun and Drake sounds good. I wouldn't mind if it became a hit. But if it does, it better not spend 3 months rotting in the bottom 5.

Ugh, we really did not need more Kevin Jonas. Little Things is even more boring than Changing. Changing at least had somewhat of a beat. This song is so painfully generic it hurts to listen to.

  • Shaboozey - Born To Die [3]
  • Madison Beer - lovergirl [1]
  • Alex Warren - FINE PLACE TO DIE [2]
  • Myles Smith - Hold Me In The Dark [1]

Little More Time and FINE PLACE TO DIE find themselves in the abyss and will probably debut next week. Nothing else will be missed.

The abyss list keeps getting bigger and bigger 💀


2 hard 4 blurbs:

Well, no debuts means no exits, so nothing to talk about there.

I should go over the obvious. The first half of the countdown was a complete snoozefest. The biggest jump and drop were only 1 spot. Luckily, the top half was a lot more interesting

Well, I guess there goes When Did You Get Hot's chance of going #1. It looks like Sabrina Carpenter is gonna lose her 8 song streak of every countdown song going #1. Every countdown song of hers since Feather has gone #1.

For the first time since Nov 15, 2025, WHERE IS MY HUSBAND is no longer in the top 10. That took way too long. 

I was worried Harry Styles could make a miraculous jump to #1, but luckily that didn't happen, at least for now.

I Just Might fell to bottom 5 in airplay. How is it still #2 on the countdown?

Holy hell, Elizabeth Taylor made a huge 13 spot jump to #3. It's grown on me a little, so I wouldn't mind if it was our next #1 song, since Homewrecker is starting to get a bit old.

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

Debuts:

We have a collab between Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter that sounds like it belongs on the Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, but surprisingly isn't. Bring Your Love is actually Madonna's first song on the countdown when she was the main artist since all the way back to 2008 with her song 4 Minutes with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. The dance pop production is super catchy and Madonna and Sabrina both sound great together.

Skipping hitbound entirely and debuting straight from the abyss is a collab between Kygo and country singer Carter Faith called That's When You Know. This is so much better than Save My Love. Hopefully this doesn't end up flopping as hard as that song.

Finally, we have an amazing Charli XCX song for once after the disaster that was Wuthering Heights. Rock Music is basically what the title says. It's a rock song, mixed with some hyperpop. This is super fun, and hopefully it does well.

Apparently Hits 1 is just picking up on every Tiffany Stringer song now. Supernova is a lot different than Bullet and Damn Good Actress. This has some interesting alt production and Tiffany sounds great. This could end up growing on me.

Ugh, we really did not need more Madison Beer. She released a deluxe version of locket, and she's here with lovergirl. I mean, this is slightly better than bittersweet. But this is still pretty forgettable.

Apparently Hits 1 is also picking up on every STELLA LEFTY song now too. I Know I Know is probably her best so far. This is pretty fun and Stella sounds pretty good. This should have been the hit over Boston.

Myles Smith will be releasing his first ever album 'My Mess, My Heart, My Life' on June 19th, and we have the next single from it Hold Me In The Dark. Yeah, this is pretty boring. It's even more forgettable than Drive Safe.

As soon as I found out these next 2 artists collabed, I just knew Hits 1 would eat it up. And it looks like I was correct. Khalid and Lauv collab on Tied Up. This song is forgettable as hell. Khalid and Lauv both sound good together, but the production is just some basic R&B beat.

I'm sorry, but who is this? Malcom Todd is here with a song called Earrings that he released 2 years ago, but is just now trending and entered the Billboard Hot 100. I don't know how to feel about this song yet. This song is very weird and short. But this is the good kind of weird that may end up growing on me. This sounds like the type of song that might randomly grow on me in a month.

Pitbull/Lil Jon - Damn I Love Miami [12]

Zara Larsson - Lush Life [15]


Beauty And A Beat is trending again due to Justin Bieber's Coachella performance. It's an amazing song, so I guess I'll take it.


Superblurbs:

We lost Opalite and Mr. Know It All. Opalite had an incredible run and I kinda wished it could have joined the 30 week club, but oh well. Mr. Know It All wasn't the most memorable song, but it didn't deserve to flop that hard. Oh well, you won't really be that missed.

WHERE IS MY HUSBAND and Die On This Hill are just refusing to leave.

Nice to see Stateside jump to the top 10.

It's not nice to see The Great Divide making a huge jump back into the top 10.

The two songs I thought might jump to #1 this week, American Girls and When Did You Get Hot, ended up dropping. Hopefully When Did You Get Hot goes #1 soon and doesn't end up being blocked because it's an actual rare amazing Sabrina Carpenter song.

Why did I Just Might jump up to #2? It's not going #1 again, so just let it drop already.

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