Debuts:
Glass Animals make their return to the countdown in 3 years with Creatures In Heaven. This is so much better than that overplayed garbage Heat Waves. This is super catchy and singer Dave Bayley sounds amazing.
After dropping out of hitbound last week, Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus are here with II MOST WANTED. They both sound decent but this is super boring and forgettable.
Imagine Dragons make their return to the countdown in 2 years with Eyes Closed. This is easily their best song they made in the last 10 years. The production is super cool and I really like the dubstep drop, and Dan Reynolds sounds amazing
Countdown Extra: Ava Max - My Oh My
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Ariana Grande - we can’t be friends (wait for your love) and Olivia Rodrigo - so american [+6]
Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Dua Lipa - Houdini [-7]
Last year's #1 song: Tiësto/Tate McRae - 10:35 (4/6 weeks at #1)
Favorite song last year: Maisie Peters - Lost the Breakup
Least favorite song last year: Labrinth/Billie Eilish - Never Felt So Alone
Most missed song: Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake - Love Never Felt So Good (2014)

10 debuts again this week, let's get started!
Dua Lipa is back with Illusion. This is pretty fun but kinda forgettable. This will probably grow on me like Houdini and Training Season did.
God, please not more d4vd! He's back with Feel It. This is a lot better than Here With Me, but it's still not that great. The production is pretty upbeat but d4vd's voice is pretty bad.
OneRepublic brings their second song on hitbound with Nobody. This is really fun and reminds me a lot of I Ain't Worried.
Mimi Webb is back with Mistake. This is amazing. It has a really cool EDM drop and Mimi sounds amazing as always.
People R Ugly are back with DUMB. Brain Dead was a banger, but Dumb is super boring.
Wow, Hits 1 actually picked up on my last week's recommendation for Hits 1. Artemas is here with i like the way you kiss me. This is a super fun and catchy alt song.
Sabrina Carpenter is here with Espresso. The disco production is pretty fun and Sabrina sounds good.
Mark Ambor is here with Belong Together. This is pretty fun but very forgettable.
Remember vaultboy? He had a random song on Hits 1 in 2021 called everything sucks. That one was a banger, you're my moon however is very boring.
Chappell Roan is back with Good Luck, Babe after her boring song Kaleidoscope dropped out of hitbound last year. Luckily this is a lot better. The 80s style production is really cool and she sounds great.
Exits:
The Beaches - Blame Brett [8]
Teddy Swims - The Door [11]
Paul Russell - Eat Pray Love [1]
Haiden Henderson - hell of a good time [4]
Tori Kelly - thing u do [1]
Porter Robinson - Cheerleader [3]
Jagwar Twin - Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa) [15]
Nicky Youre - Part Time Lover [4]
Good riddance to Bad Feeling, which Hallett pointed out lasted longer in hitbound than vampire lasted on the countdown. The Door was amazing but also lasted way too long. Part Time Lover and Blame Brett were just alright. Cheerleader, thing u do, hell of a good time, and Eat Pray Love deserved better.
Abyss
Muni Long - Made For Me
Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust
Lady Gaga/Ariana Grande - Rain On Me
Jessie Murph/Jelly Roll - Wild Ones
Victoria Monét - On My Mama
Hayes Warner/Billy B/Kevin Rudolf - Just A Girl
Jelly Roll/Lainey Wilson - Save Me
The Weeknd/JENNIE/Lily-Rose Depp - One Of The Girls
Jennifer Lopez/Latto - Can't Get Enough
Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder on the Dancefloor
i like the way you blurb me:
We lost Lose Control, Is It Over Now, and exes. Good riddance to Lose Control, it stuck around way too long. Is It Over Now got super overplayed and annoying. And exes deserved better.
Shakes, Slow It Down, Me Myself & Your Eyes, and A Symptom Of Being Human all had big jumps despite all being in the bottom 5 of airplay.
Beautiful Things jumped to #2. Hopefully this can get #1 next week.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
