Countdown Extra: all the good girls go to hell - Billie Eilish

Our first of five new songs this week is Circles by Post Malone. I kind of expected this to debut a bit higher but whatever. This is a great song. When I first reviewed it, I didn't like it that much because I thought it didn't work very well with his voice. But now, I think this is even better than Goodbyes. I love the guitar rift and I think it's honestly just a really good song.

The next debut is What Am I by Why Don't We. This song is just really sweet and I love the songwriting. All of them have pretty good voices and I just really love this song. Oh yeah! It's also Why Don't We's countdown debut! I kind of expected this to debut and I'm very happy the guys are getting some success. I'd love to see this do well.

Only Human by the Jonas Brothers finally debuted after way too many weeks in Hit-Bound. This is by far the best single from Happiness Begins. I don't know why this stayed for so long in Hit-Bound since Hits 1 stan the Jonas Brothers, but it's here now, and it prevented Cool from staying at #1, so that's always good. I hope this does somewhat well assuming it's actually charting right now.

Immediately after that, we have the worst single so far from Taylor Swift's album Lover; Lover. This song is pretty much The Archer done wrong. It's so boring, there's like no production whatsoever. I mean, her voice is pretty good, but that's about it. I would be happy seeing this flop.

Our last debut this week is Memories by Maroon 5. This song's not bad. Yeah, there's not much production here, but it's still pretty good. Adam Levine's voice is great and yeah. Just a solid song. I'd be cool if this were a hit here.

Best Debut: Circles - Post Malone

Biggest DROP!!!: boyfriend - Ariana Grande/Social House (-16): Right when I start liking the song, it drops down to the bottom 10. Come on. This just got screwed because of Hits 1 taking it off of the voting poll. I hate it when this happens to great songs. Ah, well. Farewell, good friend!

Biggest Jump: Graveyard - Halsey (+14): Yeah, alright. I can get behind this being a hit. I've kind of made my decision now, and I doubt it's gonna fade on me, so I'd love to see this hit #1. Definitely better than the other two singles.

Dance Monkey - Tones and I [1]

Our first new Hit-Bound song this week is a surprising collaboration between Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber called 10,000 Hours. You can really see just how much Justin Bieber has grown over the years since that phase, and I'm so happy for that. Dan, Shay and Justin have really great chemistry and I wouldn't be surprised and would love it if this debuted next week.

Normani's solo debut Motivation comes in at Hit-Bound entrant #2 this week. Yeah, this isn't my cup of tea. I liked her on Love Lies and Dancing With A Stranger, and even this, but I just don't really like this kind of music. I respect this song, and I wish it all the best and would be cool if it were a hit.

We now have three songs from One Direction guys in Hit-Bound. Nice To Meet Ya by Niall Horan is definitely the best one. I think Niall's had the best career so far. This song sounds really great. I'll probably be able to give it a better review when it debuts. Sorry about that, guys.

Unfortunately, we got more Billie Eilish this week with all the good girls go to hell. This song reminds me of bury a friend but with a bit more production. So in that way, it's a bit better. I doubt this is gonna be another bad guy, but I think it'll still do decentley. Unfortunately.

This next one Hits 1 picked up on a bit late. It's One Thing Right by Marshmello and Kane Brown. I love this song. I know some people *cough* Waffle *cough* hate it, but personally I find it to be really great. I love the mix between EDM and country, and I don't even find his voice to be that bad. It's charting and everything, so I hope it does well and debuts.

Yeah, we have another song available for vote only, and it's not that good. It's Dance Monkey by Tones and I. The vocals here are just horrible. The rest of the song really isn't that bad, but I can't focus on it because the vocals are just so terrible.

Only Blurb-an

We lost 5 songs this week. With You, Bad Liar, Old Town Road, Never Really Over and Here With Me. With You was never good, so I don't really care that it's gone. Bad Liar was great and had a really good run even if it didn't hit top 5. Old Town Road was straight up the biggest song ever, Never Really Over was okay and Here With Me was great and I was just starting to get tired of it, so great timing.

Harder fell to the bottom 5. I can't say I'm surprised.

Trampoline is jumping slowly, thankfully.

Dancing's Not a Crime and Love Me Less seem to hopefully be on their way out soon.

The Hype is really close to the top 20. I really want it to make it.

Look What God Gave Her seems to be on it's way to the top 10. Okay.

Cool fell to #12 this week! That's very good.

Call You Mine is at #5. Alrighty then.

Truth Hurts is #2. Please let this not hit #1.

Easier is #1. I honestly don't care as long as it's blocking Truth Hurts from there.
