Wrapped Around Your Finger by Post Malone is back after leaving the countdown a few months ago. I'm glad this is back, it's way better than I Like You.
What is this, a good Tai Verdes song? He's back with TWO SUGARS. This is way better than sheluvme. It's super fun and Tai actually doesn't sound annoying for once.
Next up is Tripping Over Air by someone I've never heard of Aidan Bissett. It's a decent pop punk song, but nothing special.
blackbear has his millionth hitbound song, fmk with GAYLE. blackbear and GAYLE sound alright but the production's kinda boring.
Exits:
Emotional - Ashe
I'm Good (Blue) - David Guetta/Bebe Rexha
All She Wanna Do - John Legend/Saweetie
Forget Me - Lewis Capaldi
Forget Me is in the abyss. I'm Good is yet another robbed EDM song. And the rest weren't great.
Abyss:
Forget Me - Lewis Capaldi
Unstoppable - Sia
Bad Decisions - Benny Blanco/BTS/Snoop Dogg
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush 👵
Wasted On You - Morgan Wallen 🤠
Die For You - The Weeknd

Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna
Don't You Worry - Black Eyed Peas/Shakira/David Guetta
MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser
Until I Found You - Stephen Sanchez
I bite my blurb, it's a bad habit:
No exits this week, even though a lot of songs deserved to leave.
Nooooooo, World’s Smallest Violin dropped!
⛪ needs to leave immediately.
Ewwwww, So Good's in the top 10.
No, Numb dropped. Please Hits 1, stop screwing over EDM.
2 Be Loved does not deserve to be so high. It's getting really overplayed and annoying.
Really, Left And Right couldn't jump to #1? This song isn't great, but I'll gladly take literally any song besides Harry at #1.
Ewwwwwwwwwww, Harry The Clown is still #1! Get this garbage out of here!!!
That's all for now, see you all next week!

Harry Styles (4) - Week Of Sep 10, 2022
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)

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!
