Nicky Youre - Week Of July 9, 2022

Corrupted Sunroof

Hey all, what's up? I have extended the due date of my rankdown to July 30. You can find it here https://zestpond.blogspot.com/2022/06/every-1-song-on-weekend-countdown.html or up on my header. This countdown was both good and bad. The good obviously being the #1 song has changed. The bad being an amazing song left hitbound and is now in the abyss.

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

2: As It Was - Harry Styles (-1) (8 weeks at #1)

1: SUNROOF - Nicky Youre/dazy (+1) (1 week at #1)

Countdown extra: Disaster - Conan Gray

Biggest Jump Of The Week: SUPERMODEL - Måneskin (+7) Let's go! This song is amazing and deserves to be in the top 10.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Me, Myself & I - 5 Seconds Of Summer (-5) and Out Of Time - The Weeknd (-5) MM&I is kinda starting to get annoying. As for Out Of Time, I think I'm the only one who likes this song. I like the 80s vaporwave feel.


Debuts:

Break My Soul by Beyonce finally makes its way out of the abyss. I really like this song. I like the 90s house beat and Beyonce's voice is amazing as always.

Until I Found You re-entered. I'm starting to come around to this song, but it didn't need to enter over Don't You Worry.


This Week's Top 5 Songs One Year Ago:

5 • Regard/Troye Sivan/Tate McRae - You (#11) [+6]

4 • Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) (#4) [=]

3 • Marshmello/Jonas Brothers - Leave Before You Love Me (#6) [+3]

2 • Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More (#2) [=]

1 • Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U (#1) [=] [6th Week At #1]

favorite song last year: Dinero - Trinidad Cardona

least favorite song last year: Arcade - Duncan Laurence

favorite song 2 years ago: Level of Concern - Twenty One Pilots

least favorite song 2 years ago: Before You Go - Lewis Capaldi

most missed countdown song: Demeanor - Pop Smoke/Dua Lipa (2021)

throwback pick: Flagpole Sitta - Harvey Danger (1998)



Hitbound (excluding 1TW and Sunday Bests):

the idea - blackbear (Debut)

Glimpse of Us - Joji ⛪

W.I.T.C.H. (Woman In Total Control Of Herself) - Devon Cole (Debut)

Victoria's Secret - Jax (Debut)

Baby Boo - Muni Long/Saweetie

Got Me Good - DNCE (Debut)

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 

Someone to Blame - Dixie (Debut)

Life's Too Short - aespa 

Disaster - Conan Gray 

Breakfast - Dove Cameron

Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto (re-entry)

Dress - Charlotte Sands

Betty (Get Money) - Yung Gravy (Debut)


blackbear is back with the idea. This song is pretty good. I like the pop punk production and blackbear sounds good as always. However, this song is kinda basic and not that memorable.

Someone I have never heard of named Devon Cole is here with W.I.T.C.H. (Woman In Total Control Of Herself). This song is pretty good. It's pretty fun and catchy, and Devon sounds pretty good.

Wow, everyone is making pop punk songs, including Jax. Victoria's Secret is amazing. The pop punk production is incredible, and Jax's voice surprisingly works well.

I don't know how to feel about DNCE's new song Got Me Good. The production is pretty good, but Joe Jonas sounds really weird. They put some kinda filter on it and it sounds super strange. It kinda puts me off from the whole song. Overall a really strange song.

Really Hits 1, we don't need more Dixie. Dixie replaces herself with Someone To Blame. This song is better than A Letter To Me, but it's still generic and boring.

Did Booty really need to re-enter? I do like this song, though. It's just super fun and I like the Crazy In Love sample.

Um, did I just get Rick Rolled in 2022? Because that's just what happened in Betty (Get Money) by Yung Gravy. Yes, this song samples Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. This reminds me a lot of First Class. It has a sample of a song playing in the background. Unlike Jack Harlow, Yung Gravy is actually rapping as opposed to whatever whisper rapping Jack is doing. Like Jiggle Jiggle, I shouldn't like this song. But this song is too stupid to hate. 

Exits:

DON'T YOU WORRY - Black Eyed Peas/Shakira/David Guetta

Bois Lie - Avril Lavigne/Machine Gun Kelly 

a letter to me - Dixie 

Angry Woman - Ashe 

Leah Kate - Twinkle Twinkle Little B****

die first - Nessa Barrett  


DON'T YOU WORRY is now in the abyss. I'm sad to see Twinkle Twinkle Little B**** go. And the rest of the songs I didn't really care about.


Abyss:

Hot Ish - Cardi B, Kanye West, Lil Durk 

Daylight - Harry Styles 

Want Want - Maggie Rogers 

Viva Las Vengeance - Panic! At the Disco 

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith

DON'T YOU WORRY - Black Eyed Peas/Shakira/David Guetta

this is what falling in love feels like - JVKE 

Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵

Music For A Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles

I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

Hot Ish by Cardi B, Kanye West, and Lil Durk played once on Hits 1, so it's eligible for the abyss. It's okay, I guess. I'll give my full thoughts on it if it debuts hitbound or the countdown.

No, no, no! Don't You Worry went to the abyss, a place I don't want it going. Unlike I Love U, I'm confident that Don't You Worry will debut. It's getting played a lot on my local station and other pop stations. 


TikTok Top 5:

#5    I Like You

#4    Glimpse of Us

#3    Booty

#2    Music For a Sushi Restaurant 

#1    Vegas


You won't break my blurbs:

We lost Bam Bam and Hold My Hand. Bam Bam was starting to get really overplayed and annoying, so I'm glad it's gone. Hold My Hand was good and deserved better.

Why are Sweetest Pie and Numb Little Bug still here? They're really starting to piss me off. 

So Good and Love Me More haven't been here long, but they're starting to get really annoying. 

10 things i hate about you and All 4 Nothing are also getting really annoying. 

Celebrate good times, come on! Yes, after 8 long excruciating weeks at #1, Ass It Was has finally left #1! And none other to take the #1 spot than Sunroof. Yeah, this song totally deserves #1. It deserved #1 more than Harry The Clown. This is the perfect summer song. I have a feeling Nicky Youre won't be #1 for long. Late Night Talking is almost certainly hitting #1 in the near future. But let's just enjoy this moment while we can.

Bye for now, see you next week!

Video - Top 40 Radio Songs When I Was Born, March 14, 2000


 I made a video of the top 40 radio songs when I was born, March 14, 2000. Enjoy!

Harry Styles (8) - Week Of July 2, 2022

Harry The Caveman


Happy 4th of July weekend (or Canada Day if you're Canadian). Just a reminder that my rankdown is due in four weeks, July 30.

2 • Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More (#2) [=]

favorite song last year: Lost - Maroon 5

least favorite song last year: AOK - Tai Verdes

favorite song 2 years ago: Banana (Minisiren Remix) - Conkarah/Shaggy/DJ Fle (remember this song?)

least favorite song 2 years ago: death bed (coffee for your head) - Powfu/beabadoobee (my second worst song of all time, after Way 2 Sexy)

most missed countdown song: Beautiful Soul - Jesse McCartney (2005)


Debuts:

Drake is back on the countdown with Massive after last year's Way 2 Sexy, which is easily my worst song of all time. I'd never thought I'd say this, but wow, Drake actually made a good song. I really like the 90s house beat, and it evolves throughout the song. And Drake actually doesn't sound that bad. Overall a pretty good song and I hope it does well.

Tai Verde is back on the countdown with sheluvme after the short-lived Let's Go To Hell. After hearing this song a lot on Hits 1 over the past week, I've actually grown to like it. Tai is less annoying than he usually is, and the production is pretty good too. 

I knew this song was gonna debut and it has. Left and Right by Charlie Puth and Jung Kook. This is basically Light Switch 2.0. It's a gimmicky song. Whereas Light Switch's gimmick was the light switch sound effect, this song's gimmick is the "I can hear you over here" coming from different sides of the speaker. And you know what, it works. I'm a sucker for gimmicks. I loved Light Switch, and I love this song as well. It's super catchy, and Charlie and Jung sound good. I think this song has #1 potential, but let's wait and see.



Hitbound (excluding Sunday Bests and 1TW):

Don't You Worry - Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, David Guetta

Bois Lie - Avril Lavigne, Machine Gun Kelly (Debut)

a letter to me - Dixie 

Disaster - Conan Gray 

Life's Too Short - aespa 

Angry Woman - Ashe 

Dress - Charlotte Sands

Twinkle Twinkle Little B**** - Leah Kate 

Glimpse of Us - Joji (church hymn alert)

Breakfast - Dove Cameron 

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Baby Boo - Muni Long, Saweetie 

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen (Debut)

Wow, Hits 1 picked up on this song really late. Bois Lie by Avril Lavigne and Machine Gun Kelly was released back in February. This song is kinda basic, but it's still really good. Avril and MGK sound really good, and I really like the 2000s pop punk production. 

No no, no no no!!! Hits 1 picked up on Wasted On You by Morgan Wallen. No no no!!! Really Hits 1, did you not learn your lesson after Walker Hayes' abysmal Fancy Like and U Gurl? We don't need any more horrible trap country songs on the radio. While Morgan does sound slightly better than Walker Hayes, the country trap production is horrible. If this song actually debuts, expect a huge rant.

Exits:

Carolina - Taylor Swift 

Booty - Saucy Santana/Latto

Booty was pretty fun but I never excepted it to debut. Carolina is one of the worst Taylor Swift songs I've heard so I'm glad it's gone.


Abyss:

Music For a Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles 

I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

Want Want - Maggie Rogers 

BREAK MY SOUL - Beyoncé 

Daylight - Harry Styles 

Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez 

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith 

this is what falling in love feels like - JVKE 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 

It's funny, the same artist has my favorite and least favorite abyss song. While MFASR has really cool production and is fun to listen to...Daylight on the other hand is not. The song itself isn't that bad. Harry sounds pretty good. But the production, if you can even call it that, is boring and nonexistent. This borders on church hymn territory, but I don't think I'm gonna call it that yet.


Blurbs follow me left and right:

We lost I Love U, Viva Las Vengeance, and Jiggle Jiggle. I think I was the only one who liked Viva Las Vengeance, but it was kinda forgettable, so I'm fine that it's gone. Jiggle Jiggle was a hilarious song, but we all knew it wouldn't last long here. I Love U was a great song that Hits 1 decided to fuck over for some reason. 

So instead of removing Numb Little Bug and Sweetest Pie, two really annoying overplayed songs, Hits 1 decided to remove I Love U and Jiggle Jiggle. What the actual fuck Hits 1? Please do better.

So Good has only been here for 3 weeks, but it's starting to get really overplayed and annoying.

Really Hits 1? The top 7 songs haven't changed at all.

Now for the biggest fuck you Hits 1 has given us. Ass It Was fell to the #8 spot in airplay, and Sunroof rose to #1 in airplay. So it would make total sense to make Sunroof #1 on the countdown. Ass It Was had been #1 for 7 weeks in a row, so people would be tired of it by now. Nope! Hits 1 randomly decided to make Harry The Clown #1 for an 8th week in a row! This song does not deserve 8 weeks at #1. It didn't even deserve #1 at all! If this breaks Shivers' record for #1, I'm going on the biggest rant ever. And I have a very bad feeling that it will, we all knew it the moment this song debuted.

Bye for now, see you all next week!

Harry Styles (7) - Week of June 25, 2022

Harry Styles In WWII


Hey guys, what's going on? Just a reminder to do my rankdown on all #1 songs on the weekend countdown. You have 3 weeks from today, July 16, to complete it. https://zestpond.blogspot.com/2022/06/every-1-song-on-weekend-countdown.html. This was a very bad week. A lot of really awful songs debuted hitbound, expect for one amazing one, the one to watch has one of the worst songs I've ever heard, and there have been some very questionable exits, jumps, and drops. Before we get to this week's fresh 30, let's say goodbye to the songs leaving the countdown.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Numb Little Bug - Em Beihold (-7) This song is kinda starting to get annoying, so I hope it leaves soon.

#1    Running Up That Hill


Debuts:

Congratulations to Amelia Moore for being the next one to watch...and having one of the worst songs I've heard this year. The production is super strange. But the worst part of this song is Amelia's voice. She's way oversinging here. She's actually screeching in the chorus. I feeeeeeeeeeel eeeeeeeeeverything. God this song is super annoying, and I hope it leaves quickly after her 1tw is over.

On a better note, Hits 1 revived I Love U from the dead. I thought this song was gone forever. It got barely any airplay, then it started getting more airplay, and here it is. This song is amazing. I like the Japanese style production, and Drew's voice is pretty good. Unfortunately, I think this song is gonna pull an iPad and not last much longer here.


Hitbound:

Baby Boo - Muni Long, Saweetie 

Breakfast - Dove Cameron (Debut)

Life's Too Short - aespa (Debut)

Left and Right - Charlie Puth, Jung Kook (Debut)

sheluvme - Tai Verdes (Debut)

a letter to me - Dixie 

Angry Woman - Ashe (Debut)

Disaster - Conan Gray (Debut)

Don't You Worry - Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, David Guetta

Carolina - Taylor Swift (Debut) (church hymn)

Twinkle Twinkle Little B**** - Leah Kate (Debut)

Glimpse of Us - Joji (church hymn)

i feel everything - Amelia Moore (Sunday Best)

die first - Nessa Barrett (Debut)

Booty - Saucy Santana, Latto 

Dress - Charlotte Sands 

Dove Cameron is back with another song, Breakfast. This song is very strange. The lyrics are very questionable. I eat guys like you for breakfast. This song is okay, I guess, not as good as Boyfriend.

A kpop group called aespa brings Life's Too Short. It's fine, I guess. Just a generic kpop song.

God, does Tai Verdes intentionally make the most boring, worst songs ever? 100sadsongs was terrible, and sheluvme is just as bad. This song is not interesting at all, and it sounds like Tai is singing while eating cheese or something. 

For God's sake Hits 1, no one likes Ashe, stop trying to stan her!!! The production with Angry Woman is kinda cool, it's very alternative-ly, but Ashe's voice is not good at all.

Church Hymn alert!!! If you don't know, a church hymn is a song that is very boring/slow, has very little evolution in the production, or has uninteresting vocals (I got the idea from Hippo). And Taylor Swift's song, Carolina, fits all 3 bills. This song comes from the movie Where The Crawdads Sing.  This is just a generic guitar ballad. There is hardly any evolution throughout the song. It feels like anyone could have sang this song, it even sounds like Billie Eilish is singing at some parts. 

Nessa Barrett is back with die first. This song is just okay, it's not as good as dying on the inside. Nessa's voice is pretty good, but the production is kinda generic. 

Conan Gray is back with Disaster. After the disaster (pun intended) of Jigsaw, I was not looking forward to this song. But I was pleasantly surprised. The production is really good, it almost reminds me of Stay. And Conan's voice is pretty good. I hope this becomes a hit here.

Leah Kate brings us a new song called Twinkle Twinkle Little B****. With a title like that, I didn't have high hopes. The Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sample actually works very well. And I like the pop punk production, and Leah sounds pretty good. This song is way better than 10 things i hate about you, and I hope it does well.

Now the best song for last. Charlie Puth and Jung Kook (from BTS) bring us Left And Right. And holy cow, the production is amazing. The two "I can feel you over here"s coming from different sides of the speakers is simply brilliant. And this song is just insanely catchy. Also Charlie and Jung sound really good here. I think this song is going to be a huge hit, and might even hit #1 (it might even be the one to dethrone Ass It Was). 


Exits:

Falling Back - Drake

Only You - Eddie Benjamin, Alessia Cara

Want Want - Maggie Rogers

Grrrls - Lizzo 

Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez 

Falling Back, Want Want, and Until I Found You find themselves in the abyss. Grrrls was terrible. Only You was good but was never gonna debut. 


Abyss:

I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

Falling Back - Drake

Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) - Kate Bush

Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez

this is what falling in love feels like - JVKE 

BREAK MY SOUL - Beyoncé 

Want Want - Maggie Rogers 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Massive - Drake 

Hits 1 replaced Falling Back with Massive. Massive is way better than Falling Back. Massive has a 90s house feel, and actually evolves throughout the song. I think I've found a Drake song that I actually like.

Beyonce is back on Hits 1 after 10 years with Break This Soul. This song is amazing. Like Massive, it has a 90s house feel, and Beyonce's voice is amazing, as always. 

OneRepublic has a song from the Top Gun Maverick movie, I Ain't Worried. This song is just really fun. I'm a huge fan of whistling in songs, and this song is no exception. And Ryan Tedder sounds really good. I wish this song would become a hit here, but I doubt, this seems more like a Pulse song.


twinkle twinkle little blurb:

We lost Skyline and Skin Of My Teeth. Skyline was still good, and still deserved to stick around at least for a few more weeks. And Skin Of My Teeth adds another one week wonder to the growing list of this year's one week wonders.

About Damn Time, When You're Gone, Boyfriend, Bam Bam, and 10 things i hate about you are starting to get really overplayed and annoying. And Sweetest Pie got annoying a long time ago.

I seriously don't know how Late Night Talking is still here. It barely gets any airplay. It's lucky to get one or two spins a day. It's a shame, I do really like this song.

About Damn Time had a chance to overthrow Harry Styles, but it fell two spots. I'm gonna go on a rant. For some reason, Hits 1 hates black females. In the past 11 years, guess how many black females have reached #1 on the weekend countdown. 3!!!!! Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris - We Found Love, Cobra Starship ft. Sabi - You Make Me Feel, and fun ft. Janelle Monáe - We Are Young. There has never been a solo black female at #1, all 3 songs had help from a white male. Out of 175 songs that have been #1, 3 are from a black female - 1.7%! C'mon Hits 1, we need to do better.

Ass It Was is #1 for a 7th week in a row. The only song that has a chance of overthrowing it is Sunroof, but I highly doubt it. Get ready for Harry Styles to break the #1 record.

Bye for now, see you all next week!
