Hey guys! I've made some slight changes to my poll of the week. I will be adding it to the end of my countdown posts instead of my sidebar. I made some changes to the mobile site to make it more mobile friendly. As a result, my sidebar no longer shows up on mobile. So I decided to move it to the end of my countdown posts.

Debuts:
After it should have debuted last week, Easy Lover finally makes its way out of the abyss. This is fine. The production is pretty upbeat and Miley sounds good, but this is very generic. At least this is a lot better than End Of The World.
To no one's surprise, Sabrina Carpenter's latest song Manchild has debuted, but I didn't think it would debut this high. This is basically a carbon copy of Busy Woman, but slightly worse. We really don't need 2 of the exact same song on the countdown.
Hits 1 still doesn't know what it wants to do with Nice To Meet You yet, as it has reentered for a second song, and joins the 3 separate countdown run club. This song is still really fun and didn't need to leave the countdown in the first place a month ago.
Countdown Extra: Avril Lavigne/Simple Plan - Young & Dumb
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Tie between Ravyn Lenae - Love Me Not, Shaboozey - Good News, and Ariana Grande - twilight zone [+5]
Biggest...DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Charli XCX - party 4 u, Tate McRae - Sports car, and Alex Warren - Ordinary [-3]
Last year's #1 song: Hozier - Too Sweet (6/6 weeks at #1)
Favorite song last year: Girl On Couch/Billen Ted - Man In Finance (G6 Trust Fund)
Least favorite song last year: Halsey - The End
Most missed song: Crash Adams - Sugar Mommy (2023)
Recommendation for Hits 1: Tiësto/Sexyy Red - OMG!

Twenty One Pilots are back with The Contract after that super boring song The Line dropped out of hitbound earlier this year. The Contract is finally another banger from them. The production is a bit weird but still amazing and Tyler Joseph sounds great as always.
All Time Low are back with SUCKERPUNCH. This is yet another banger from them and Alex Gaskarth sounds great as per usual.
R&B singer Mariah The Scientist makes her Hits 1 debut with Burning Blue. Yeah, this is quite boring and her voice isn't the best.
The Paradox are back with another pop punk banger Get The Message. Do Me Like That had a Green Day vibe, this time it feels more like blink-182. I really love the pop punk production here, but this feels more forgettable than Do Me Like That, but this could end up growing on me.
Addison Rae replaces herself with Fame is a Gun. This is a lot less weird and a lot more upbeat than Money is Everything, but is still very forgettable.
It's been a super hot minute since we've seen Kehlani on Hits 1. She was last seen 5 years ago when Good Thing with Zedd dropped out of hitbound back in 2020. She's back with Folded. The R&B production is quite boring but at least she has a good voice.
Lastly, we end with a rando because why not. Singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert, who co-wrote Gracie Abrams' album The Secret of Us, releases her first ever song Sue me. I can see the Gracie Abrams inspiration here because this does sound kinda Gracie Abrams-y. The production is pretty fun, but this seems very forgettable.
Exits:
- Ed Sheeran/Arijit Singh - Sapphire [1]
- Addison Rae - Money is Everything [1]
- Benson Boone - Momma Song [3]
- Tate McRae - Just Keep Watching [2]
- Avril Lavigne/Simple Plan - Young & Dumb [5] SOTW
- Joe Jonas - Heart By Heart [7]
I'm surprised Sapphire and Just Keep Watching flopped so hard, but they could enter the abyss soon. Young & Dumb left despite being the countdown extra. And the rest of the songs won't be missed.
2025 total dropouts: 90
Estimated total for 2025: 173 (+3)

Suckerblurb:
We lost Cry For Me, Bad Dreams, and Call Me When You Break Up. They were all getting quite old and annoying and really needed to leave. Bad Dreams somehow did better on the countdown than Miley Cyrus' Flowers, which is just insane.
Sports car went #1 on Mediabase last week, and it looks like Ordinary will go #1 this week. But they both dropped on the countdown this week.
End of the World got purged on Mediabase, so thankfully I don't see this lasting too much longer, as it looks like the much better Easy Lover is being pushed instead.
I'm not really too thrilled that Good News keeps on jumping. At least it's ranking in the all time ultimate rank points.
Nice to see Sally, When The Wine Runs Out in the top 5. This still has a ton of airplay, and I wouldn't mind if it hit #1.
To no one's surprise, Busy Woman has finally reached #1. I don't mind actually, because this is one of her more tolerable songs. But let's just hope this doesn't spend too much time at #1.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
