Debuts:
Benson Boone brings his second song on the countdown with Slow It Down. This is great but not as great as Beautiful Things. Just like Beautiful Things, Slow It Down starts off slow but gets amazing by the end.
so american makes its way out of the abyss. I don't think this has been pushed to pop so I'm not sure why Hits 1 needs two Olivia Rodrigo songs on the countdown. This is kinda fun but not as good as obsessed.
Hozier makes his first countdown debut in 9 years since Someone New in 2015, with Too Sweet. This has grown on me a lot. This is extremely catchy and Hozier sounds great.
Countdown Extra: JVKE - clouds
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Shinedown - A Symptom Of Being Human [+16]

Goodness 10 debuts, let's get started!
Really Hits 1, did we really need more Doja Cat? She's back along with rapper Teezo Touchdown with MASC. This really sucks. It's super boring and weird and they both sound terrible.
Benson Boone just released his first album Fireworks & Rollerblades, and he's here with Cry. This is another amazing song from him. Just like with his other songs it starts off slow but then gets amazing.
Glass Animals are back after not making music for 2 years with Creatures In Heaven. This is super catchy and is so much better than Heat Waves.
Ava Max is here with My Oh My. If the melody sounds familiar, it's because it samples the same Arabic melody that Kesha sampled in Take It Off. This is really good, it reminds me a lot of The Motto.
Another band is back after not making any music for 2 years. Imagine Dragons are here with Eyes Closed. And oh my this is such a banger. The production is really cool and Dan Reynolds sounds amazing.
Paul Russell is back with Eat Pray Love. Not much to say except this is another bop from him.
Everyone's favorite sampling recycler David Guetta is here along with OneRepublic with I Don't Wanna Wait. This time David Guetta decided to sample that meme song Dragostea Din Tei. This is the perfect summer song. The production is amazing and super fun and Ryan Tedder sounds amazing as always
Tori Kelly is back with thing u do. This is another bop from her. I really like the 2000s R&B vibe and her voice is amazing.
Next is a collab between girl in red and Sabrina Carpenter called You Need Me Now. This is pretty fun and they both sound good.
Lastly we have some rando named Michael Marcagi with Scared To Start. Apparently this is top 30 in the US Spotify charts. This is alright. The production is pretty upbeat and he sounds pretty good.
Exits:
Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust [10]
Camila Cabello/Playboi Carti - I Luv It [1]
Beyoncé/Miley Cyrus - II Most Wanted [1]

Wallows - Calling After Me [2]
Liam Payne - Teardrops [5]

So Much (For) Stardust finally grew on me after 10 weeks, and finds itself in the abyss. clouds and King Size Bed were amazing and deserved better. Good riddance to I Hate It. And the rest were super forgettable.

Eat Pray Blurb:
We lost Lovin On Me, Yes I’m A Mess, and greedy. Good riddance to Lovin On Me, it will not be missed. Yes I’m A Mess and greedy were great but were way too old.
A Symptom Of Being Human randomly jumped 16 spots despite being in the bottom 5 of airplay. Ok, then?
Austin has grown on me a lot and it now becomes my purple song.
Saturn is super weird and boring and it now becomes my orange song.
Seriously, Lose Control has been here for over 7 and a half months, is this ever gonna leave?
We really don't need Justin Miderlake in the top 10.
I was hoping Not The 1975 could take the #1 spot next week, but hopefully it can next week.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
