Debuts:
Camila Cabello replaces herself with HOT UPTOWN with Drake. This is Drake's first appearance on the countdown since Massive in 2022. This is pretty fun and Camila and Drake both sound good, but this isn't as great as HE KNOWS.
These next 2 debuts are amazing and I'm glad they debuted. First up is Knox with Treadmill. This is by far his best song since Not The 1975. This is insanely fun and Knox sounds great as always.
Crash Adams are finally back on the countdown with Hotel Party. And wow this is my favorite song from them, even better than Give Me A Kiss. The production is super fun, it reminds me of LMFAO, and their singer sounds great as always.

Alex Warren is back with Before You Leave Me 2.0, aka Carry You Home. This is a fun little folk song, but I prefer Before You Leave Me more.
Rapper Moneybagg Yo and Morgan Wallen collab on WHISKEY WHISKEY. This is an alright country trap song and the 2 of them sound alright.
Kesha stop making weird music challenge (impossible). She's back with JOYRIDE after having that very weird hitbound dropout Only Love Can Save Us Now last year. JOYRIDE isn't as weird as that one, but this is still kinda weird. There's a weird vocal filter on her voice that doesn't sound great. The production is pretty fun but it's just too weird.
Henry Moodie is the one to watch, but for some reason bad emotions isn't getting any spins outside of hitbound nor is it on the countdown. I'm not really sure what's going on.
Exits:
None!
Wow, no flops this week. Anything to help bring down the hitbound dropouts total.

Tell the neighbors I'm sorry, it's a hotel blurb:
We lost feelslikeimfallinginlove, HE KNOWS, and Beautiful Things. feelslikeimfallinginlove wasn't Coldplay's best song, but it still deserved better than 1 week. HE KNOWS was starting to get kinda old so I don't mind it got replaced by another song from her. And Beautiful Things had a great countdown run but it was getting very old and it was time to leave.
Is MILLION DOLLAR BABY ever gonna do anything besides sit in the bottom 5 of the countdown its entire run?
so american dropped a massive 10 spots after having a huge reentry 3 weeks ago.
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is finally starting to get spins outside of the countdown, and for some reason Hits 1 decided to make it drop. Hits 1 literally doesn't make any sense sometimes.
Nice to see A Bar Song in the top 10.
Why is End of Beginning still in the top 10? This really needs to go away.
LUNCH had a huge 12 spot jump to #6.
The top 5 didn't change at all 😴
That's all for now, see you all next week!
