Hey guys, what's up? There's something I need to address before we get started. If you're not in the Hits 1 Discord, there's been some drama recently. Long story short, there was a huge fight that resulted in me, HrishK, and Daniel getting banned from the server. So we decided to move to a different Discord server. This shouldn't affect anything on the blog and I'll still be active in the community. With that out of the way, let's get started on this week's HalloWeekend countdown!

Debuts:
Calm Down re-entered. I'm not the biggest fan of this song, but I don't mind it came back.
This song has really grown on me since it left hitbound. It's Enough by charlieonnafriday. This guy sounds exactly like Post Malone. If you told me he was, I'd probably believe you. I really love the production here and I love his voice too.
Well, It's been a while since we've had a song from Taylor that wasn't a folk song or a re-recording of an old song. She's back with Anti Hero. I'm in love with this song. I love that this song tells a story, and the production's pretty catchy. And Taylor sounds great as always.
Hitbound:
Common - Quinn XCII/Big Sean
Lift Me Up - Rihanna (Debut)
I Remember - Cheat Codes/Russell Dickerson
if you ask me to - charli d'amelio (Debut)
Made You Look - Meghan Trainor (Debut)
Narcissist - Avery Anna
Bad Idea - Dove Cameron (Debut)
Nonsense - Sabrina Carpenter
dumb dumb - mazie
Before You - Benson Boone (Debut)
LOVE ABOUT IT - Waterparks/blackbear
Heaven to Me - Havanna Winter
Remember - Becky Hill/David Guetta (Debut)
SIMPLY THE BEST - Black Eyed Peas/Anitta/El Alfa (Debut)
100 degrees - kenzie
WDIA (Would Do It Again) - Rosa Linn/Duncan Laurence
Rihanna's back after not making any music for 6 years. And her comeback...isn't that great. Lift Me Up is decent. It's kinda slow, but Rihanna does sound pretty good.
Dixie's younger sister Charli has started making music, and here she is with if you ask me to. This song isn't that great. The production is fine but kinda boring and Charli doesn't sound that great.
Meghan Trainor is back on Hits 1 after her hitbound dropout Nice To Meet Ya in 2020, with Made You Look. This song's fine. The production's pretty upbeat and Meghan sounds fine, but I can tell this song's going to get really annoying really quickly.
Dove Cameron's back after the failure of Breakfast, with Bad Idea. This song is such a bop. It's way better than Breakfast and Boyfriend. Wait, I just realized all her songs start with B. Anyways, the production is super cool and Dove's whispery voice actually works really well with this song.
Um, I don't think anyone asked for more Benson Boone. Ghost Town and In The Stars really sucked, so I wasn't happy that's he's back. Before You isn't as bad as those songs, but it's not great either. The production is really slow and Benson does not sound that great.
The next song, Remember by Becky Hill and David Guetta, was released a year ago, so I'm not sure why Hits 1 picked up on it now, but I don't care, this song is such a bop. Becky Hill sounds really great here and David Guetta's production is fantastic as always.
Now the best for last. Black Eyed Peas is back along with Anitta and El Alfa with Simply The Best. And my oh my is this song a bop! I have been streaming this song nonstop since it released Friday. The production is just insanely catchy and will.i.am and everyone else here sounds amazing. Probably my LOP award if it doesn't debut.
Exits:
THE LONELIEST - Måneskin
EDGING - blink-182
Celestial - Ed Sheeran
Best Friends - 5 Seconds of Summer
Sex, Drugs, Etc. - Beach Weather
Hot All The Time - Leah Kate
It looks like Edging will be my LOP award this year. We lost Celestial and Best Friends for a second time. I was starting to warm up to Sex, Drugs, Etc. And The Loneliest and Hot All The Time weren't that great.
Abyss:
BILLIE EILISH. - Armani White
Unstoppable - Sia
Die For You - The Weeknd
Power (Remember Who You Are) - SPINALL/Summer Walker/DJ Snake/Äyanna
MANIAC - Macklemore/Windser
Bigger Than Me - Louis Tomlinson
Jimmy Cooks - Drake/21 Savage
fmk - GAYLE/blackbear
Anti-Blurbs:
We lost uh oh, Pink Venom, and Betty. uh oh was starting to grow on me and I'm not sure why it only lasted 3 weeks. Betty was getting really annoying so I'm glad it's gone. And Pink Venom wasn't that good.
Good, Evergreen hasn't moved at all since it debuted. Hopefully it leaves soon.
I thought Late Night Talking would leave this week, but it looks like it's hanging on til next week.
Wow, I’m Good made a surprising jump to #3. Can it please hit #1 next week instead of the 🤡 ?
I was really hoping I Ain't Worried would hit #1 this week instead of 2 Be Loved because it jumped to #2 in airplay and 2 Be Loved fell to #5. But nope, Am I Ready 2 Be Annoyed just had to stay #1 again and I Ain't Worried fell to #5. C'mon Hits 1, give my boys OneRepublic a #1 song! They haven't had one since Love Runs Out in 2014. Ugh, and Music For A Sushi Restaurant hit #2 this week, so you know it's gonna be #1 next week. C'mon Hits 1, stop stanning this stupid clown!!!
That's all for now, see you all next week!
