Hey, you guys might know what's happening, since Nick did this a while ago but stopped and I really missed it. I'm dropping the WECDBT20R for this. I'm not sure if you guys like this or not, but I'm doing it anyways. Full credit for this goes to Nick. Here's a form, it's all explained on that:

Last Year's #1: High Hopes - Panic! At The Disco [4/8 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Memories - Maroon 5

Our first and only new song this week is Jesus In LA by Alec Benjamin. This is a pretty mediocre song. Alec doesn't have the best voice here, it sounding really young even though he's 25. It's not even that catchy. I don't really get what Hits 1 sees in this song or Alec Benjamin in general, with If We Have Each Other doing really well, even though it's not a single. I don't really want this song to do well.

Biggest DROP!!!: Nightmare - Halsey (-14): Geez. This fell really hard. Good. I hate this song and I really didn't want it to be a huge hit here. (I say that because it hit #2 a lot)

Biggest Jump: All the Time - Zara Larsson (+15): Okay, I have no clue why this song is at #11 since it's gaining zero traction everywhere else. I really hope this starts dropping and I have no clue why people like it.

Our Hit-Bound entrant this week is WHO DO U LOVE? by Monsta X (which sounds like a k-pop group's name) and French Montana. This song is okay. It kind of actually sounds like a k-pop song. Just english. But also not really. It's kind of cool. It's really not what I expected when I saw the title, and it's probably better than Who Do You Love. (Aw, geez. That's gonna get confusing.) Honestly, I wouldn't be mad if this debuted eventually. Ah. They are k-pop. Alright then.

Jesus In Blurb-A

We lost Let Me Down Slowly this week. The song was never that good. I'm glad to see it go and it just never really appealed to me, but I can see why people liked it even though it shouldn't have stayed that long. Good riddance.

Make You Mine hit the bottom 5 this week. Yeah, I'm not sure why this ever hit the countdown, but it was still pretty good.

Khalid finally credited Disclosure on Talk, and so did I!

Both Shameless and Liar fell this week. I'm kind of surprised, but honestly, I can kind of see neither of these songs doing well.

The Hype, Graveyard and Mother have their sights set on the top 20. I'm totally okay with The Hype and Graveyard hitting it, but Mother not so much.

boyfriend fell out of the top 20 this week just as I start to like it. Come on.

Hate Me's in the top 20. That's pretty good.

It's not looking too good for Goodbyes which is a shame since it's a great song.

I know I've said this a lot, but Hey Look Ma should not still be here. It's not even on the Hot 100 anymore.

You Need To Calm Down fell off of #1. *sigh* It was a good run.

But it got replaced by Cool. Why? Just because "WOW! The JOnas Brothers are BACK!"? That's not a reason. I'm sorry, this shouldn't be at #1 if the countdown at all. Come on. Stop it Hits 1. Get Only Human on the countdown instead of this hitting #1.

Countdown Extra: Dear Future Self (Hands Up) - Fall Out Boy/Wyclef Jean

Honestly, I didn’t expect to get a 3 debut week after a 7 debut one, but I mean… I’ll take it! Let’s kick it off with one of the Camila Cabello songs from last week, Shameless. The production here is really great and definitely better than Liar. I like the vibe here a lot, but I think the thing that brings this song down a lot are the mediocre vocals and the mediocre song-writing. The song is still good, but I don’t know… the vocals could definitely be better. I can see this being a hit though despite all that. Hope it does well.

Next we have The Hype by Twenty One Pilots. Looking at this song, I don’t know why I even liked Chlorine in the first place. This song is so much better. The beat is great, and Josh Dunn does a great job. Tyler Joseph’s vocals are really good and it doesn’t sound like he’s holding much back. I love how unique this is. The ukulele in the bridge somehow sounds really good and fits. Honestly just a really great song that deserves to be a hit.

I’m so conflicted on whether Liar or Shameless is better. On this side, Liar has great vocals, a super solid beat and it returns to a Havana-like vibe. The instrumentation is pretty good but something just feels like it’s missing from this song. I’m not sure what. I’ve already discussed Shameless, and I feel like even with the messy vocals, the production kind of makes up for it and that’s my favourite one at the moment. However, Liar will probably be the bigger hit.

Best Debut: The Hype - Twenty One Pilots

Biggest DROP!!!: Never Really Over - Katy Perry (-16): Yeah, I expected this to drop sometime. It was flopping everywhere else. Pretty okay drop.

Biggest Jump: Goodbyes - Post Malone (+10): Honestly, this is the best song this year. I mean, there’s no denying it. I’m so happy this song is in the top 10 and I’d like to see it in the top 5.

Kill My Mind - Louis Tomlinson [2]

This first song, Dear Future Self (Hands Up) is honestly just a good Fall Out Boy song. It’s pretty much everything you would expect from Fall Out Boy. Great vocals from Patrick Stump a great beat and some awesome production. I could probably do without Wyclef Jean, but the “Knock, knock, knock, who is it?” line is pretty awesome. I really hope this becomes a hit.

Mother is a pretty weak replacement for I Warned Myself. I mean, it’s not bad, but… come on. IWM was so much better. This is honestly just a generic Charlie Puth song. It might debut, I’m not sure. We’ll see.

For our last Hit-Bound debut, we have yet another Halsey song by the name of Graveyard. I will say that it's not as bad as Nightmare. In fact, it’s not that bad at all. She’s not screaming all the time in this one, and it’s not terribly annoying like Without Me. I have a feeling this will get overplayed to death. I could probably do without the gasp, but it’s not that bad.

Just kidding. I have lots to talk about. First of all, we lost I Warned Myself and I’m very sad. I’m happy they tried to promote it by making it the countdown extra last week, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough… you will be missed.

We lost 3 countdown songs this week. Speechless, One Thought Away and 100 Bad Days. For Speechless, this was due a long time ago, so I don’t really care. For One Thought Away, I mean, it was never gonna do well, so goodbye! As for 100 Bad Days, I’m really sad. It will be missed.

Without Me has to leave.

I’m so sad that Trampoline is probably leaving soon. It deserved much more.

I’m kind of shocked that Dream Boy didn’t jump. I thought more people would vote for it than that.

I’ve softened up on How Do You Sleep? a little bit. It’s honestly just good Sam Smith.

With You shouldn’t still be here. It’s super irrelevant.

I’m sad I Don’t Care didn’t do better. I’m happy it at least hit #5, but come on…

boyfriend shouldn’t be top 20. It doesn’t deserve it.

It seems as if we might be seeing Nightmare starting to drop soon. Yay!

Someone You Loved fell off of the top 5. Kind of sucks.

So did Cool! Yay!

Hey Look Ma, I Made It had better start dropping soon or else I’m gonna scream.

If I Can’t Have You finally fell off #1. About time…

Our top 3 is great. #3 is Señorita. I’m happy it’s up here and I’d love to see it at #1. You Need To Calm Down is #2 and I’d also love to see it hit #1. Our #1 is… Easier? Um. Okay. I’ll take it. I seriously didn’t expect this at all. I don’t think anybody did. Congrats.

Countdown Extra: I Warned Myself - Charlie Puth

We got 7 songs this week. Our first is 3 Nights by Dominic Fike. This is a pretty good song for the most part. It’s nothing special, it’s just a ukelele track with a guy singing, but it’s pretty catchy. It’s just a really fun song here. I don’t expect it to do that well, but that’s alright.

Our next song is really mediocre. It’s Harder by Jax Jones and Bebe Rexha. Honestly, I’m just really not feeling this song. The vocals are pretty good, but it’s just so boring. The production isn’t that great, and for Jax Jones making his countdown debut, I think they could’ve picked a better song. Like That’s What I Like About You with Theresa Rex.

Immediately after that, we have a song that I didn’t really expect to debut. It’s Dream Boy by Waterparks. This song is a bop. The vocals are pretty good for the most part, except for the part with the electronic vocals. I like how this is one of the songs that like, only Hits 1 picks up. I honestly don’t know where they find these songs. I hope this becomes a hit. We’ll see.

Sam Smith has his first solo debut of the countdown this year with How Do You Sleep?. This song isn’t bad, just kind of underwhelming. I like his voice, that always sounds good, but my problem with it is the weird production in the hook. It just doesn’t work that well with his voice. But not a bad song by any means.

Juice WRLD makes his countdown return with Ellie Goulding on Hate Me. I really like this song. Both artists sound great on it and I love the chorus. It’s just so catchy. I think Juice WRLD is super talented and I hope this song gives him more success on Hits 1.

Our only bad debut this week comes from Ariana Grande (Who else?) and Social House. boyfriend is legit just another bad Ariana Grande song. I hope this isn’t from a new album ‘cause I don’t think I can handle more Ariana Grande. Social House doesn’t add much to this song and I just don’t want to see it do well.

For our highest debut, we have a spectacular song by the name of Beautiful People by Ed Sheeran and Khalid. This song is just so Beautiful. ;) But seriously, this is a collaboration I never saw coming, but it works so well. The second verse gives me chills every time when Khalid says “LA” and then the track just stops. Great debut, and it will do well.

Best Debut: Beautiful People - Ed Sheeran/Khalid

Biggest DROP!!!: Trampoline - SHAED & bad guy - Billie Eilish (-12): For Trampoline, I’m so sad it’s not doing well here, since it’s doing fine everywhere else. For bad guy, I’m happy. I hated this song from the very beginning.

Biggest Jump: Truth Hurts - Lizzo (+20): No.

Liar - Camila Cabello [1]

Teeth - 5 Seconds of Summer [3]

Roaring 20s - Panic! At The Disco [5]

Kill My Mind - Louis Tomlinson [1]

Our first new Hit-Bound song is by the extremely talented NF. Time is one of my favourite songs by him. His voice sounds really great, the beat is amazing and the violins work really well with the song and the outro is probably the best part of the song. The chorus isn’t bad either. I’m not sure about the high voice, but overall, this is a great song that should definitely be a hit.

Our second song is a really sweet song. I was kind of waiting for Why Don’t We to get a big mainstream hit, ‘cause they’re not bad. When I first heard What Am I, I never thought it would be this. But little did I know, it is. I’m not sure if it’s gonna be a huge hit, but it’s still really good. All of them sound really good and the chorus is very catchy. The bridge is great too. I hope this debuts.

Our first of two Camila Cabello songs on Hit-Bound is Liar. I like the vibe here even though it’s similar to her other songs. It’s pretty catchy and pretty good. I’m gonna have to listen to it a few more times to review it properly, so I’ll do a more thorough review when it debuts.

Our fourth Hit-Bound song is Circles by Post Malone. This also has a unique vibe. It doesn’t work as well with his voice than Goodbyes, but that’s okay. The vibe is great. I like the guitar throughout the song and his voice isn’t bad. My main problem with this is that his voice doesn’t work that well.

Next is another song from 13 Reasons Why. It’s frick, i'm lonely (or, i’m lonely according to Hits 1, but that just doesn’t sound that good) by Lauv and Anne-Marie. This is a great song. I know I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this because a lot of people don’t like these artists. Anne-Marie is my favourite female artists, so I like it a lot. I don’t find Lauv’s voice that bad. However, I do find their voices quite compressed in the verses for some reason, but whatever. It’s still good.

This is definitely the better Camila Cabello song that debuted Hit-Bound this week. I know Adrian is gonna argue that her voice sucks in this but I mean, come on… it’s not that bad. I like how this is stepping away from the latin vibe a bit, and it works really well. The production is great here. The writing isn’t anything special, but that’s alright. I hope this one debuts before Liar. If these songs both debut, they’ll be Camila Cabello songs #4 and #5 of 2019. (Consequences, Señorita, Find U Again)

Alright! The fourteenth song that I have to review this week! This is it! Oh no. Kill My Mind by Louis Tomlinson isn’t that good. Not a great way to end Hit-Bound. His voice doesn’t sound that good. I don’t really like the vibe here either. Can we have Two of Us back? No? Okay. Fine.

#1: Time - NF

We lost 7 songs this week. Sweet but Psycho, Happier, High Hopes, Find U Again, So Am I, Mother’s Daughter and The Git Up. For both Ava Max songs, they weren’t that good and were pretty much the same song. For Happier, it was probably due time for this to go, but I still liked it. For Find U Again, it was mediocre and I didn’t expect it to do well. For Mother’s Daughter, it was good and I’m sad it’s gone. For The Git Up, I wish it lasted longer because it was pretty good. For High Hopes, it’s been here for way too long. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a great song, but when you hear a song on the countdown and then also on last year’s #1, you know something’s wrong.

Speechless should leave soon. We shouldn’t have a country song be the #5 oldest song.

100 Bad Days fell out of the top 20 this week. Sucks. I wish this lasted a bit longer.

Dancing’s Not a Crime fell out of the top 20. No doubt it’ll get a boost when it’s released.

Um. Look What God Gave Her is in the top 20. Alright. I’ll take it.

Rescue Me hit top 15 this week. I hope this becomes a huge hit.

Please leave, Hey Look Ma, I Made It.

Why is Cool in the top 5? Get rid of this for Only Human please.

There are much better songs that should be at #1 other than If I Can’t Have You. Like You Need To Calm Down, Señorita, Someone You Loved. Maybe even Sucker again.

Higher Love - Kygo/Whitney Houston [1]

Well, we got a song on the voting poll this week, so I guess that counts for something. It’s Higher Love by Kygo and Whitney Houston of all people. I didn’t grow up listening to her, so I don’t have that kind of connection with the song, but I think it’s a really great tribute to her. It sounds really good and I’m happy Kygo decided to do this. I really hope it debuts next week.
