BIGGEST DROP!!!!... Of The Week: Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho [-15]

Biggest Jump Of The Week:  Ava Max - So Am I [+10]

New Entrants

The first entrant we have is by Post Malone with Goodbyes. They edited out the verse by Young Thug which is great, his verse was grating and if it was still there the song would be blue. It's a good song and probably one of his most enjoyable songs for me.

The only other entrant is by Bebe Rexha with The Chainsmokers. They have Call You Mine, in which I actually like this song better than This Feeling. You could call it a copy or whatever, but I genuinely like the song.

Call You Blurb

I'm confused how we got rid of Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored quicker than 7 Rings. 7 Rings has been lurking at the bottom 5 for a while, while Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored was there for 1 week.... not complaining about the exits though.

Sweet But Psycho takes the biggest drop, which I'm not complaining because it is getting old really quick.

As one Ava Max song falls, another one rises. So Am I takes the biggest jump to #14, which is much better than Sweet But Psycho anyways.

#45 to #40 can all go. It's just garbage lingering at the bottom which is taking up more space for better songs *cough* Hate Me *cough*

Nightmare is the only song in the top 5 that hasn't hit #1. That seriously needs to change before the song dies out...

I'm tired so that's all the blurbs for today, hope you all have a good weekend!

BIGGEST DROP!!!!... Of The Week: Ariana Grande - Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored [-10] & Taylor Swift with Brendon Urie - ME! [-10] & Halsey - Without Me [-10]

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Panic! At The Disco - Dancing's Not A Crime [+16]

Who do you blurb

We can say farewell to ME!, it's dropping here and dropping everywhere else. It had a good run.

I noticed that there is a lot of garbage at the beginning of the Top 10. Dancing's Not A Crime should not have made that kind of jump at all. 

A few songs have taken a hit this week, but we pretty much see Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored switched positions with 7 Rings. I say they should both be #45 and #44.

I don't know if Hits 1 heard me when I said last week how Who Do You Love hasn't hit #1 yet, well.... here it is. I hope it doesn't stay up top for too long, it's already been on the countdown for quite some time and I'm already drained.

3 words: Screw off, Sucker.

Lewis Capaldi surprised me when Someone You Loved jumped 15 spots to #04. That kinda makes me happy seeing as I love the song. I doubt it will go any higher, or it may even drop massively next week.

Can Close To Me, Happier, Bad Liar, 7 Rings, Dancing With A Stranger, and High Hopes please leave already? I'm sick and tired of them.

Thank you for tuning in this week!

BIGGEST DROP!!!!... Of The Week: Sam Smith & Normani - Dancing With A Stranger [-16]

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Bazzi - Paradise [+13]

New Entrants

~ The first debut comes from P!nk with Hustle. I'm not really into this song as much as I am with Walk Me Home, I don't know what it is but I really cannot get into it. 

~ The second debut is Make You Mine by Public. The song isn't amazing, but it isn't bad either. I could really get down to the chorus, but the other parts are just meh. 

~ The third debut is a song people believe is a rehash of Old Town Road but in all honestly, it's a rehash of the Cupid Shuffle. It's The Git Up by Blanco Brown. I find the song super catchy and honestly I dance to it haha. 

~ The fourth debut is my favorite entrant this week. Lizzo, and her song Truth Hurts. This song is super catchy and everytime it comes on I sing all of the lyrics. She really knows how to sing and her voice is beautiful. I believe it is way better than Juice.

~ The final entrant that DEBUT at NUMBER 8 comes by Shawn Mendes with Camila Cabello with Senorita. I really like this song and it is close to beating out Truth Hurts. The song is still growing on me.

the blurb up

We already see Nightmare slipping. Really sucks.

Sucker needs to stop going up, and it needs to start going down. I don't know what I'm gonna do if that song is in the top 5 or even top 10 for much longer, I will go insane.

So, Bazzi with Paradise has the biggest jump.... after falling several weeks... makes sense Hits 1

I'm happy Dancing With A Stranger is falling, the song is good but I've heard it a million of times and it just needs to be let go before it goes red.

Instead of when the party's over, it should have been 7 Rings or even Close To Me....

With Who Do You Love being overplayed on Hits 1, and how it's the most Wutchuwanted song almost every time, it baffles me that it hasn't hit #1 as of yet. I really don't understand how this mechanism works.


Thank you for taking time to read this! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Biggest DROP!!!!.... Of The Week: MAX / Quinn XCII - Love Me Less (-9)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: It's a tie between a million songs so no point

New Entrants

~ The only debut this week is by push baby with mama's house. I find this song good. Not the best, but not as horrible as some songs on the list currently. Hope it stays for a tadbit.

mama's blurb

It's good to see Shawn Mendes stay up top. Hopefully it will go for a few more weeks without letting Nightmare die out before she can reach #1.

I don't understand. Paradise by Bazzi drops two continuous weeks, then goes right back into basically, it's starting position. Hey, at least it stays for a little while.

Flexible by Jordan McGraw is finally gone, and that means there's a new worst song on this list. That comes in the form of Old Town Road. Song is annoying, overplayed, and I'd rather hear The Git Up over this.

This week was pretty boring, to say the least. A lot, and I mean A LOT of songs stayed put. The biggest drop was only 9, and we had a million song jump tie with 6. 

Hope you guys enjoy your rest of 4th Of July. Have a good weekend!

Biggest DROP!!!!.... Of the week: Ciara - Thinkin Bout You (-9)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Khalid - Talk (+11)

New Entrants

~ The one and only Debut this week is by the one and only Taylor Swift with You Need To Calm Down. I actually appreciate Taylor celebrating pride, and making a great song to show that she really cares. I don't expect this to get VERY far, but it may have a chance at atleast the top 5. 

Blurbians

- I'm super freaking excited that Nightmare, my favorite song on the countdown (and everywhere), jumped to #2. After I heard Who Do You Love at #3 I knew that Shawn Mendes was going to get #1 because of his newest Collab with Camilla Cabello, so I didn't expect her to get #1, but I'm still super excited.

- People have finally decided to let Sucker go. They honestly did not and do not deserve to have #1 13 weeks in a row thus making them the longest song at #1 in history. I'm pretty sure this is due to them reforming together, but man did this station and these people stuff this song down our throats.

- Actually saddened that Out Of Love dropped out when it should have been songs like 7 Rings, Close To Me, and most definitely Flexible. Sorry Alessia, I tried

- I'm still wondering how one of Billie Eilish's superb songs is lingering at the bottom 3, well I mean it's pretty old.. but it's a better song than bury a friend, I think. 

- Ciara takes the biggest drop this week after taking the biggest jump last week. Not surprising, that's how Hits 1 fans work. The song is fine, but I think it's really repetitive. 

- So Am I & If We Have Each Other are both amazing songs. I love So Am I much better than Sweet But Psycho, even if it sounds similar. It may just be the lyrics and the vocals. If We Have Each Other is a great song, because Alec makes the song into a story. Let Me Down Slowly is holding in, but it will drop more soon enough.

- Such a dissappointment from Bazzi. Debuts, then continues to fall the second consecutive week. Wouldn't be surprise that it drops out next weekend. The song and production is great, but I guess it's not good enough.

Thank you for taking your time and reading!
