Countdown Extra: golden hour - JVKE 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Grand - Kane Brown (+11). Ok then, this had the biggest drop last week now the biggest jump this week. Did this really need to jump? It's super forgettable.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Glimpse Of Us - Joji ⛪ (-10). This has been dropping a lot in airplay, so hopefully it leaves soon.

Last year's #1 song: STAY - The Kid LAROI/Justin Bieber (1/6 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: 90s Kids - Jax

Least favorite song last year: I GUESS I'M IN LOVE - Clinton Kane

Most missed countdown song: Crazy Possessive - Kaci Battaglia (2009)

Most missed hitbound dropout: Miss America - Jax (2011)

Debuts:

Louis Tomlinson's back after 2 years, with Bigger Than Me. This song's fine, but not super memorable. Don't Let It Break Your Heart was way better.

Ava Max has a second song on the countdown with Million Dollar Baby. This is way better than Maybe You're The Problem. This samples Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes. This song's super fun and way less annoying than Maybe You're The Problem.

Hitbound: 

29 - Demi Lovato 

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby (re-entry)

Emotional - Ashe 

I'm Good (Blue) - David Guetta/Bebe Rexha (Debut)

Dutton Ranch Freestyle - David Morris (Debut)

All She Wanna Do - John Legend/Saweetie 

I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson 

Smells Like Me - Charlie Puth (Debut)

sun and moon - anees 

golden hour - JVKE 

Forget Me - Lewis Capaldi (Debut)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter

curious/furious - WILLOW (Debut)

Run Away to Mars - TALK 

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White 

Sting - FLETCHER (Debut)

Did Staying Alive really need to re-enter? I'm fine with it, I guess.

Yes, this next song is amazing and I'm glad it finally entered hitbound. It's I'm Good by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha. This samples Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. The sample sounds amazing and Bebe Rexha sounds great.

When I saw a country rap song entered hitbound, I was not thrilled. Then I heard it and it was better than I expected. It's Dutton Ranch Freestyle by David Morris. The production is really cool and David Morris' rapping sounds great.

Charlie Puth's back with Smells Like Me. The production isn't super memorable, but Charlie sounds great.

Lewis Capaldi (or the Pencil Sharpener according to Waffle) is back after 2 years with Forget Me. I absolutely despised Someone You Loved, Hold Me While You Wait, and Before You Go, so I was not happy he was making new music. This song's good, but not great. The production is upbeat but forgettable, and Lewis Capaldi still sounds like a pencil sharpener. 

WILLOW's back with curious/furious. This one's alright. It's just not that interesting and WILLOW's oversinging a bit in some parts. Transparent soul from last year was better.

Do we really need more Fletcher, she kinda sucks. She's back with Sting. Becky's So Hot was super forgettable, and this is somehow even more forgettable. The production isn't that interesting and Fletcher sounds boring.

Exits:

Heaven - Bazzi

dead inside - blackbear 

Cross Your Mind - ROLE MODEL 

None of these songs were that great, so I'm not that sad they're gone.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco/BTS/Snoop Dogg 

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson 

WAIT FOR U - Future/Drake/Tems 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Can't Stop Us Now - Pitbull/Zac Brown 

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna 

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

MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser

Million dollar blurbs:

We lost Break My Soul and Are You Entertained. Break My Soul got super annoying and Are You Entertained wasn't that great, so I'm glad they're gone.

Did Devil Doesn't Bargain need to jump 5 spots? This song really sucks.

Easy Lover finally entered the top 10.

It seems like I Like You (A Happier Song) got played every five minutes last week, yet it dropped 2 spots.

Did the 🤡 really need to be #1 again this week? Hopefully with Left And Right jumping to #2, it can dethrone it next week.

Bye for now, see you all next week.

Countdown Extra: Run Away to Mars - TALK 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Super Freaky Girl - Nicki Minaj (+9). Sorry Trey, but this song is really good.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Grand - Kane Brown (-8). This song kinda sucks, it didn't deserve to debut so high in the first place.

Last year's #1 song: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (5/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Another Song About Tequila - Tequila Mockingbrd

Least favorite song last year: Need To Know - Doja Cat

Most missed countdown song: 1, 2, 3 Turn Around - Christian TV (2009)

Least missed countdown song: Dancing With A Stranger - Sam Smith/Normani (2019)

Most missed song Hits 1 never picked up: Money On My Mind - Sam Smith (2014)

Debuts:

Britney Spears makes her way onto the countdown in the first time in 9 years, since 2013's Work Bitch. It's Hold Me Closer with Elton John. This song samples Tiny Dancer by Elton John. I was kinda disappointed when I first heard this, but I've grown into a little bit. This is way better than Cold Heart.

Next is Calm Down by REMA and Selena Gomez. I don't really like afropop, but this one's alright. REMA doesn't sound nearly as bad as CKay, and Selena basically saves the song.

Next is SNAP by Rosa Linn. This song is kinda fun, and Rosa Linn sounds really good.

Blackpink is back after 2020's Ice Cream, with Pink Venom, or Pink Vomit as other people call it. I actually really like this one. The production is really strange and all over the place, but it's super fun.

Lastly, we have a really strange debut. AJR replaced themselves from a song they just released with a song they released a year ago. I'm actually really happy, because World’s Smallest Violin is 1000x better than I Won't. This song is super fun, and it might be my favorite AJR song.

Hitbound:

29 - Demi Lovato 

All She Wanna Do - John Legend. Saweetie (Debut)

Emotional - Ashe 

Hold Me Closer - Elton John, Britney Spears (SB)

Million Dollar Baby - Ava Max (Debut)

Heaven - Bazzi 

I Remember - Cheat Codes, Russell Dickerson 

Bigger Than Me - Louis Tomlinson (Debut)

sun and moon - anees 

golden hour - JVKE (Debut)

dead inside - blackbear 

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Calm Down (Remix) - REMA, Selena Gomez (SB)

Run Away to Mars - TALK 

BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White (Debut)

Cross Your Mind - ROLE MODEL 

John Legend is back after his hitbound dropout Dope a few months ago, with All She Wanna Do with Saweetie. The production is kinda basic, but John and Saweetie sound pretty good.

Ava Max is back with Million Dollar Baby. This song samples Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes. This song is way better than Maybe You're The Problem. This song is super fun and Ava sounds great.

Louis Tomlinson is back on Hits 1 after Don't Let It Break Your Heart in 2020 with Bigger Than Me. I'm kinda underwhelmed by this song. The production's kinda boring but Louis sounds alright.

Ewwwww, did we really need more JVKE? He's back after the failure of This Is What Falling In Love Feels Like, with golden hour. TIWFILFL was super strange, but this song is even stranger. The production here is kinda all over the place and JVKE doesn't sound that good.

We have another strange song. It's Billie Eilish. No, not a song by her, it's the title to a song from Armani White. The production is strange, the lyrics are strange, and Armani White's voice is strange.

Exits:

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson 

MANIAC - Macklemore, Windser 

Last Last - Burna Boy 

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy 

Come Back Home is in the abyss, and the rest I don't really care for.

Abyss:

Unstoppable - Sia 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg 

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson 

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Die For You - The Weeknd 

Can't Stop Us Now - Pitbull, Zac Brown 

World's smallest blurbs:

We lost Don't You Worry, When You're Gone, Until I Found You, Becky's So Hot, and I Won't. Don't You Worry used to be amazing but it's started to fade on me. When You're Gone got super annoying and was here way too long. Until I Found You had a good run. I forgot Becky's So Hot existed. I Won't got replaced with a 1000x better AJR song.

Ok, did ⛪really need to jump that high?

Victoria's Secret is now my favorite song on the countdown, it's super super catchy. World's Smallest Violin might overtake that next week, though.

Sorry Waffle, but Maybe You're The Problem is getting extremely annoying and overplayed.

So Good is really starting to piss me off, how is this song even a hit?

Oof, I was really hoping Numb would get #1 this week. Hopefully next week. Actually, it's probably never reach #1 cuz Hits 1 stans a certain individual.

Really, Late Night Talking is #1 again? Hits 1, can we please stop stanning Harry The Clown?

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

Harry Styles (2) - Week Of Aug 27, 2022

Countdown Extra: MANIAC - Macklemore, Windser 

Biggest Jump Of The Week: 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - Lizzo (+7). Lol, Lizzo had both the biggest jump and biggest drop. This song is way better than About Damn Time, so I'm happy it jumped this far.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: About Damn Time - Lizzo (-8). This song has started to get very annoying, so hopefully it's on its way out.

Last year's #1 song: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (4/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Love Tonight - Shouse

Least favorite song last year: Essence - WizKid/Justin Bieber/Tems

Most missed countdown song: 1901 - Phoenix (2009)

Most missed Hitbound dropout: Everybody Else - Care Bears On Fire (2009)

Debuts:

Zedd and Maren Morris are back together after 2018's The Middle, which sucked. Luckily, Make You Say is much better. I really like the production, it's super fun, I especially like the chorus.

Panic replaced themselves with Don't Let The Light Go Out. It's good, but Middle Of A Breakup is so much better. The production is kinda slow, but Brendon Urie sounds good.

After being in the abyss for months, Grand by Kane Brown finally debuts. After hearing this song a few times, I quite like it now. The trap country production isn't too bad and Kane sounds good too.

Hitbound:

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson 

I Remember - Cheat Codes, Russell Dickerson (Debut)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Calm Down (Remix) - REMA, Selena Gomez (Debut)

MANIAC - Macklemore, Windser 

29 - Demi Lovato

Run Away to Mars - TALK (Debut)

Emotional - Ashe (Debut)

sun and moon - anees (Debut)

dead inside - blackbear (Debut)

Cross Your Mind - ROLE MODEL (Debut)

Last Last - Burna Boy 

Don't Let The Light Go Out - Panic! At The Disco (SB)

Hold Me Closer - Elton John, Britney Spears (Debut)

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy 

Heaven - Bazzi (Debut)

Cheat Codes is back after last year's Hurricane, I Remember with country singer Russell Dickerson. This is a really fun EDM country song, similar to One Thing Right by Kane Brown and Marshmello in 2019. 

Can we please not have more afropop? We have Calm Down by REMA and Selena Gomez. This Rema guy is not very good. This song sounds very similar to CKay's love nwantiti from last year. Selena is the only saving grace of this song.

Next is a song that was released last year, it's Run Away to Mars by TALK. It's okay, I guess. The production's kinda boring but this Talk guy sounds alright.

Ewwww, not more Ashe! We have her latest song Emotional. This song is super strange. It has a weird Latin country vibe, I don't even know how to describe it. This actually might be my favorite Ashe song, this song is actually kinda fun.

Next is some guy named anees with sun and moon. This guy sounds very similar to Tai Verdes (he might even sound better). This song is alright. The production is kinda boring but anees sounds alright.

blackbear is back again with dead inside. I really like the punk rock production here, but I think I like toxic energy more.

Remember ROLE MODEL? He had a song 2 years ago called Going Out. He's back with Cross Your Mind. This song is way better than Going Out. It's pretty fun, and Role Model sounds pretty good.

This next song's been hyped for ages, it's Hold Me Closer by Elton John and Britney Spears, which samples Tiny Dancer. I'm slightly disappointed in this. I was expecting more. The production is kinda basic, and Elton and Britney have weird effects on their voice. This song is definitely way better than Cold Heart, though.

No, please not more Bazzi!!! He's back with Heaven. Actually, this song is kinda good. It's definitely way better than Will It Ever Feel The Same.

Exits:

Drowsy - OHNO 

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa 

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore 

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

SNAP - Rosa Linn

Pink Venom and Snap are in the abyss. Ferrari deserved better. The rest I don't care about.

Abyss:

Running Up That Hill 👵 - Kate Bush 

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK

SNAP - Rosa Linn

_World - SEVENTEEN, Anne-Marie 

Can't Stop Us Now - Pitbull, Zac Brown 

Don't let the blurb go out:

We lost Me Myself & I, Middle Of A Breakup, and Supermodel. Me Myself & I got very annoying so I'm glad it's gone. Middle Of A Breakup deserved more than 3 weeks, and Supermodel was good but was starting to get old.

Um, why is ⛪ jumping?

Can When You're Gone leave please? It's been here way too long and is extremely annoying.

Can So Good not jump please?

Victoria's Secret made a nice jump into the top 10.

Maybe You're The Problem and Bones are getting super annoying. 

Numb jumped to #3. Please hit #1 next week!

Can Harry The Clown not be #1 please? Sunroof is #1 on Mediabase and AT40, so it deserves to still be #1 here too. Oh yeah, Hits 1 stans the crap out of Harry Styles!!!

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

Nicky Youre (5) - Week Of Aug 20, 2022

What's up? This was a pretty good week. A really old song left, a really really old song left, and Harry is yet again denied #1.

Before we get to this week's fresh 30, here's the songs we're saying goodbye to:

Countdown Extra: love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Music For A Sushi Restaurant - Harry Styles (+9) . Um, how? It got barely any airplay.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Me Myself & I - 5 Seconds Of Summer and So Good - Halsey (-11). Yes, these songs both suck.

Last year's #1: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (3/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: Love Tonight - Shouse

Least favorite song last year: Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish

Most missed countdown song: One Of The Boys - Katy Perry (2008)

Least missed countdown song: Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson/Bruno Mars (2014)

Most missed hitbound dropout: Best Friend - Sofi Tukker (2018)

Least missed hitbound dropout: Girls Want Girls - Drake/Lil Baby (2021)

Debuts:

Nicki Minaj is back on the countdown since 2019's Dumb Blonde with Avril Lavigne, with Super Freaky Girl. This samples Super Freak by Rick James.  This song is super fun, and Nicki's rapping sounds good.

Russ finally has a song on the countdown, after Handsomer dropped out of hitbound earlier in the year. After hearing this song a few times, I've warmed up to it a little bit. The trap production is kinda annoying, but Russ and Ed Sheeran don't sound too bad.

Hitbound:

Drowsy - OHNO (re-entry)

29 - Demi Lovato (Debut)

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa 

MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser (Debut)

Pink Venom - BLACKPINK (Debut)

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

Don't Let The Light Go Out - Panic! At The Disco (Debut)

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore 

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Make You Say - Zedd/Maren Morris/BEAUZ (Debut)

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

Come Back Home - Sofia Carson (Debut)

Last Last - Burna Boy (Debut)

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

Obsessed - Calvin Harris/Charlie Puth/Shenseea 

Drowsy re-entered. Okay, I guess?

Next is Demi Lovato's newest song off of her new album Holy Fvck, called 29. This song is not very good. The production's kinda messy, and Demi's screaming like Amelia Moore in the chorus.

Next is Manic. No, not by Conan Grey, by Macklemore. It's been a while since Macklemore's been on Hits 1. I'm pretty sure the last time he was here was 2019's Summer Days. Anyways, this song's good, but Macklemore has made better songs than this.

Blackpink is back after 2020's Ice Cream, with Pink Venom. I know everyone hates this song, but I actually quite like it. The production's interesting and Blackpink doesn't sound that bad.

Panic! At The Disco's new album Viva Las Vengeance was just released, and we have Don't Let The Light Go Out. This one's pretty good. It's a bit on the slower side, but I really like the production. The melody sounds like it came from an 80s song or something.

Zedd and Maren Morris collabed again after the super annoying The Middle from 2018, with Make You Say. This is way better than The Middle. I really like the production, and Maren actually isn't annoying for once!

Next up is the Disney Channel star Sofia Carson with Come Back Home. This is fine, I guess. It's super boring, but Sofia sounds alright.

Hits 1, can we please stop picking up on Afropop, after the disaster that was Love Nwantiti? We have Last Last by Burna Boy. This song is alright. The production is kinda repetitive, but at least Burna Boy is singing, unlike CKay's mumble singing.

Exits:

what would you do? - Tate McRae

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

toxic energy - blackbear/The Used

American Psycho - Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd

World's Smallest Violin - AJR 

Grand - Kane Brown 

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Daylight - Harry Styles 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Her - Megan Thee Stallion 

He want a freaky blurb:

We lost Running Up That Hill and 2step. RUTH should never had debuted in the first place. 2step had a good run here, but got really annoying.

Um, Music For A Sushi Restaurant barely got one spin a day, how did it jump 9 spots? Oh yeah, Hits 1 stans Harry Styles!

Haha, ⛪fell 2 spots.

Yay, I Ain't Worried and Don't You Worry both jumped!

Left and Right jumped to #3. Hopefully it can hit #1 soon.

No way, Nicky Youre denied Harry The Clown #1 again! We need to keep fighting against the Harry stans!

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

I Recreated The Weekend Countdown & Hitbound For Sep 19, 2009

I was browsing YouTube, and I stumbled upon weekend countdown snippets from Sep 19, 2009 when Green Day hosted the countdown as well as hitbound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n49F0ByxcM4&t=461s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-EUu_6pniI

Countdown Extra: Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Easy Lover - Ellie Goulding, Big Sean (+15). Yesss, this song is amazing.

Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) 👵(-12). Yes, burn baby burn.

Debuts:

First up is Bad Habit by Steve Lacy. This song's kinda weird, but it's a nice little chill song.

FLETCHER makes her way back onto the countdown since 2019's Undrunk, with Becky's So Hot. The production is pretty cool and FLETCHER sounds pretty good.

Jax is back on the countdown after last year's 90's Kids, with Victoria's Secret. Some people don't like this song, but I quite like it. I like the pop punk production, and the song has a really good message. 

After being in the abyss for months, Music For A Sushi Restaurant finally debuts. This song has faded on me a bit after hearing it for so long, but it's still really good. I really like the production here. It sounds like David Bowie or Prince or something. And since this is Harry Styles, it's probably going to reach #1.

Last Year's #1: Bad Habits - Ed Sheeran (2/5 weeks at #1)

Favorite song last year: i hope ur miserable until ur dead - Nessa Barrett

Least favorite song last year: Arcade - Duncan Laurence

Most missed countdown song: Love You Like A Love Song - Selena Gomez (2011)

Most missed hitbound dropout: Momma Always Told Me - Mike Posner (2021)

Most missed song that never made it to Hits 1: Shots - Imagine Dragons (2015)

Hitbound:

Obsessed - Calvin Harris/Charlie Puth/Shenseea

what would you do? - Tate McRae

Staying Alive - DJ Khaled/Drake/Lil Baby

love me or leave me alone - Amelia Moore (Debut)

Her - Megan Thee Stallion (Debut)

Sucks to Know You (FU) - Mergui 

toxic energy - blackbear/The Used

All the Things I Hate About You - Huddy (Debut)

American Psycho - Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd  

SNAP - Rosa Linn 

Life Sux - Leah Kate 

Someone to Blame - Dixie 

Super Freaky Girl - Nicki Minaj (Debut)

Ferrari - James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa (Debut)

Bad Habit - Steve Lacy (SB)

rain rain go away - Havanna Winter 

Hits 1, we don't need any more Amelia Moore. She's back with love me or leave me alone. I didn't think she could make a song worse than i feel everything, then this released. This song is just terrible. At least i feel everything had some redeemable qualities, like a groovy production. But the production here is super boring. And there's Amelia herself, she sounds terrible. She's whisper singing in the verses, and doing her signature screeching in the chorus. Hits 1, can we not make this a thing, please?

After one of the worst songs I've ever heard, we have one of the best. Megan Thee Stallion just released a new album, and we have Her. It seems like everyone's making house music nowadays. Drake, Beyonce, and now Megan. This song is just extremely fun and catchy. Megan sounds amazing, and I really like the chorus when the bass drops and it goes "her her her her her her, she she she she she". Just a super fun song and I hope it does well.

Remember The Eulogy Of You And Me from last year? LilHuddy, now called just Huddy, is back with All the Things I Hate About You. The punk rock production is good and Huddy sounds good.

Nicki Minaj has returned to Hits 1 after it seems like forever, with Super Freaky Girl. This song samples Super Freak by Rick James. The sample sounds really good and so does Nicki. 

Last up, we have Ferrari by James Hype and Miggy Dela Rosa. Apparently this song is #1 on BPM. This is a really fun dance song. The production by James Hype is really good and Miggy Dela Rosa sounds good too.

Exits:

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

Are You Entertained - Russ, Ed Sheeran 

Drowsy - OHNO 

Are You Entertained and Bad Decisions are in the abyss, and Drowsy is gone.

Abyss:

Get Into It (Yuh) - Doja Cat 

Flowers - Lauren Spencer-Smith

Are You Entertained - Russ, Ed Sheeran 

die first - Nessa Barrett 

Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠

WAIT FOR U - Future, Drake, Tems 

Grand - Kane Brown 

Unstoppable - Sia

Daylight - Harry Styles 

World's Smallest Violin - AJR 

Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco, BTS, Snoop Dogg

I know Victoria's blurbs:

We lost i feel everything, As It Was, Potion, and Massive. i feel everything was one of the worst songs I've ever heard. As It Was had a great run. Potion was painfully mediocre. Massive was good but not that memorable.

How did Middle Of A Breakup not move? It's #4 in airplay.

Bones is starting to get as annoying as Enemy.

Maybe You're The Problem is getting way too overplayed and it's super annoying. But it's still a good song.

Can When You're Gone go away please. It's been in the top 5 for what seems like months. 

I thought 2step would leave, but it got a huge drop this week. Hopefully it leaves next week, it's starting to get really annoying.

No! Don't You Worry dropped. But I'm happy I Ain't Worried jumped.

Wow, I was not expecting Sunroof to dethrone Harry Styles. Hopefully it can for at least a little while longer.

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