Debut:
Taylor Swift just recently released her new album The Tortured Poets Department, and here she is with Post Malone with Fortnight. The album kinda sucked, most of the songs were boring and sounded the same, but Fortnight was one of the better songs from the album. Taylor and Post both sound great, just wish that Post had more singing than just background vocals.

Lay Bankz makes her Hits 1 debut with Tell Ur Girlfriend. This is pretty fun and Lay Bankz sounds great.
Lauv is back with Potential. This is fine but extremely forgettable.
Jessie Murph is here with Cold because of course Hits 1 has to pick up on all her songs. This is fine but very boring.
Twenty One Pilots are back with Backslide. This is really boring and not near as good as Overcompensate.
Wow, a Doja Cat song that isn't completely vomit worthy. She's here with OKLOSER after MASC dropped out. This is kinda fun but is very forgettable.
Teddy Swims just released the deluxe edition of his album I've Tried Everything But Therapy, and here he is with Apple Juice. This is pretty fun and Teddy sounds great as always.
Yay, Hits 1 picked up on my recommendation from last week, For Life. This samples the 2001 song Lady (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo. The production from Kygo is amazing as always and Zak Abel sounds great.
Change Your Mind got 54 spins last week, I'm really surprised it didn't debut the countdown.
Exits:
Ava Max - My Oh My [3]
Doja Cat/Teezo Touchdown - MASC [3]
Mimi Webb - Mistake [2]
vaultboy - you're my moon [2]
girl in red/Sabrina Carpenter - You Need Me Now? [3]
Porter Robinson - Cheerleader [4]
Mistake, My Oh My, and Cheerleader were amazing and deserved better. Good riddance to MASC. And you're my moon and You Need Me Now were just alright.
Abyss
Jagwar Twin - Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)
Olivia Rodrigo - so american
Madison Beer - Make You Mine
Justin Timberlake - No Angels
Benson Boone - Slow It Down
Lady Gaga/Ariana Grande - Rain On Me
Hayes Warner/Billy B/Kevin Rudolf - Just A Girl
The Weeknd/JENNIE/Lily-Rose Depp - One Of The Girls
Jelly Roll/Lainey Wilson - Save Me
Blurbble Juice:
We just lost Shakes this week. This was fine but insanely forgettable and only became a hit because Hits 1 are huge 5SOS stans.
If II MOST WANTED could go away that would be fantastic.
A Symptom Of Being Human randomly had a huge jump a few weeks ago, and now it randomly has a huge drop.
Nice to see Too Sweet getting a huge jump.
Let's go!!!! Godson Boone is finally #1!!!!!! I'm so glad to see Benson Boone finally get his first #1 song. Beautiful Things is a masterpiece and definitely deserved to be #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
