Shawn Mendes (1)
Hello! I’m officially out of school, so you will probably be seeing many more album reviews and more new stuff I have in mind. As you can probably tell, we finally got a new #1 this week and I am so happy about it. We got 1 great debut and 2 great Hit-Bound songs too. Also, I have officially been listening to the countdown for a year and have not missed a countdown since. So yay!

Last Year's #1: Say Amen (Saturday Night) - Panic! At The Disco [4/4 weeks at #1]
Our only debut this week coming in at #17 is Taylor Swift’s second single from her upcoming album, Lover, You Need To Calm Down. I like this song. I don’t think it’s as good as some of her past work, or ME! for that matter. But it’s still pretty good. I feel like people hate on it because it’s not Taylor Swift standards, but comparing it to a good majority of this list, it’s really good.
Biggest DROP!!!: Thinkin Bout You - Ciara (-9): And right after having a surprising jump into the top 20 last week, it drops back down. Again, I don’t care about this song at all. I really couldn’t care less about how it does.
Biggest Jump: Talk - Khalid/Disclosure (+11): I still like this song. I feel like Khalid has a really good voice here (when does he not?) and I’m pretty happy this song is doing really well. It’ll probably hit #1 sooner or later.
My Top 5 Picks

The Git Up by Blanco Brown. *explodes into laughter* I have no clue why I like these types of songs so much, but this and Old Town Road are just pure perfection to me. I like his voice and I don’t know why, but to me, it’s super catchy and a really good song.
Next is a song that I’ve been listening to and liked for a while now. SHAED’s Trampoline. This song sounds really unique and cool. The vocals are really good and the song is so different from basic pop, that I have to like it. And I do. I know everybody makes that same argument for Billie Eilish, but her vocals suck, so tell me who’s better.

You Need To Blurb Down
We lost one song this week. Out Of Love. I liked the song, but it wasn’t gonna do well anyways.
Nothing much happened this week except for one very significant thing. Sucker is no longer #1. FINALLY!!! This was at the top for way too long and I’m so happy to see it go. However, the #1 song is not ME!, which slipped down to #5. Which kind of sucks. I wanted to see that song hit #1. So Nightmare is at #2 now, which makes me really nervous because I really don’t like this song. And, it boots I Don’t Care out of the top 5. But, our new #1 is If I Can’t Have You by Shawn Mendes. I’m very happy for this song and it is definitely one of the best songs from the past few months. I’d like to see it stay there for a while.

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago
Babe - Sugarland/Taylor Swift
Ah, yes. This song. I really liked this song when it debuted, and I still like it to this day. Unfortunately, it didn’t do well here or anywhere for that matter.
James Dean - The Wrecks
This was a good song for a little bit. It was more rock than pop, but I mean, it was fun while it was here. It still holds up well now, and I like it. Unfortunately, it also didn’t do that well.
High Hopes - Panic! At The Disco Year-End Spot: #4
Geez. Happy 1-year anniversary, High Hopes. Well, yeah. I still like this song, but, as you can see, it’s very very old. I still like it when it comes on Hits 1 though.
LET YOU BE RIGHT - Meghan Trainor
I feel like I made it pretty clear I don’t like Meghan Trainor. This song is better than her others, but it’s still not very good. Fortunately, it didn’t do well on the countdown. I mean, it did okay, but not too well.
I Like It - Cardi B
This was a really big song in 2018 and it got very annoying because it got overplayed. However, it’s been a year and I don’t mind it anymore. This is pretty good compared to other rap songs *cough* God’s Plan *cough* and it’s not that bad.
