The reason this is out late is because I had to do it all from my phone. And I had to review 12 different songs. And listen to the countdown. All while being in London, England on vacation. That being said, it is an interesting countdown. We had 6 debuts both on the countdown and Hit-Bound, and 2 surprising top 5 entrants. Enjoy.

Countdown Extra: Small Talk - Katy Perry
Ayyyyyy! Six debuts! Our first, though, isn't that good. It's One Thought Away by Asher Angel. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with this song, there's just not much to talk about. So yeah, not great.
Our next debut is Mother’s Daughter by Miley Cyrus. This has already kind of flopped, but I still want it to become a hit. This song has a great beat, great vocals and it's super catchy. Great direction for Miley. Keep going.
For our third debut, we have a really good song by SHAED, Trampoline. I love this song because it's so different. It sounds so cool and the vocals are pretty good too. Great song, hope it does well.
Immediately after, we have Find U Again by Mark Ronson and Camila Cabello. The vocals here are really good, and I love the key change in the “Tears in your eyes” line. The production here is great. Personally, I don't think it's as good as Nothing Breaks Like a Heart, but that's alright.
Immediately after that we have Look Away by Stephen Puth. This song isn't as strong as the last three. I just can't really get into it. It's catchy and all, but I feel like it was pushed too hard by Hits 1 for a mediocre song. I just don't think this will do too well.
At #32 with our highest debut is Rescue Me by OneRepublic. I love this song. OneRepublic is one of my favourite bands, and Ryan Tedder's vocals are amazing. This song is super catchy and should become a hit.
Best Debut: Trampoline - SHAED
Biggest DROP!!!: With You - Kaskade/Meghan Trainor & So Am I - Ava Max (-16): Overall, I'm happy both songs dropped. With You was never a hit, so it doesn't really matter, and So Am I never should've made it into the top 20, let alone #7. So, good.
Biggest Jump: If We Have Each Other - Alec Benjamin (+18): Uh, I guess this is at #3 now. I'm totally okay with it, I'm just confused how it got there. Well, I don't think this will stick around for long.

I have to say, when I saw that Twenty One Pilots had a new song, I was pretty hyped. The Hype was not a disappointment. I like the feel-good vibe of this song, compared to Trench, and I hope this song makes it big, because Trench was kind of a flop. My only criticism with this is that it's 4 minutes long, but that's expected from Twenty One Pilots these days. So yeah, definitely worth the hype.
Our next song is Jesus In LA by Alec Benjamin. This song is pretty good. It's definitely better than Let Me Down Slowly, but not as good as If We Have Each Other. I have a feeling you guys won't like it, but the bridge is good, you have to admit it. Also, it will be a hit. (Yeah, not much to talk about.) :/
After Never Really Over, I didn't have much expectations for Katy Perry’s next single, Small Talk. But, consider me surprised because I find this song really really good. It's so catchy and Katy sounds great. Also, it's not produced by Zedd, so that's good. It really takes me back to the Teenage Dream Katy Perry. Definitely one of my favourite songs of the year. Fun fact: Charlie Puth.
Mmmmmmmgh!!!!! Why, Ariana!!! Stop making music!!! Take a break and rethink the direction you're going! I just really don't like Ariana Grande. boyfriend is too catchy and just sucks. Also, Social House adds nothing to the song.
Um…. I like a song by Lizzo. Shoot. But in all honesty, Good as Hell is nowhere near Truth Hurts. The piano here sounds really good, and her voice is actually not bad. I really like the chorus, and overall just a spectacular song that should become a hit. Also, that long note. Perfection.

One Blurb Away
We lost 6 songs this week. I liked Chlorine, but it was old. I never really liked Dancing With A Stranger, so goodbye. I'm happy with the amount of success that Close To Me got. I stopped caring about mama’s house as soon as it debuted. I don't really care about Bazzi that much, so I was fine to see Paradise go, but Summer Days??? That song should have gotten so much more success.
I'm happy Sweet but Psycho dropped to #44. That song did not deserve that #2 peak.
Every time I sit here and type ME! with a peak of #2, I cry. I cannot stress this enough.
Geez, Goodbyes is flopping hard. Yikes.
Here With Me left the top 20. I feel like this was probably due since it wasn't a hit, and I'm happy with that #5 peak.
For some reason Make You Mine just hit #24. Not sure why, but I'll take it.
100 Bad Days jumped into the top 20. I’m not sure how, since no one likes AJR, but whatever.
You Need To Calm Down fell hard out of the top 10 entirely. Sucks.
Why do we have to let Truth Hurts into the top 10? I mean, come on people.
For some reason Easier is sitting at #5. Again, not sure how it got there, but that's okay.
