Countdown Extra: Bob Dylan - Fall Out Boy
Okay, so first we have a song that’s kind of late here… it’s Panini by Lil Nas X. I don’t like this as much as Old Town Road, but the beat is definitely better. I find his voice is still good here. I seriously don’t know why I like this style so much. I’m not sure it’s gonna do too well here, since it’s kind of losing traction everywhere, but we’ll see. With Hits 1, really anything can happen.
Next, we have a not so great OneRepublic song called Wanted. This song is just so boring, bland and unoriginal. The production is so lazy here and Ryan Tedder doesn’t sound that great. I’m really disappointed by This because I know OneRepublic is capable of so much more.
At #34, we have our best debut, from Ed Sheeran’s collaborations album, it’s South of the Border with Camila Cabello and Cardi B. I seriously didn’t think this would work, but boy did it work. Both Ed and Camila work great with the vibe of that song, and even Cardi’s verse isn’t even that bad. The beat in this song is really good and I just love this song so much.
And for our highest debut, we have Don’t Start Now by Dua Lipa. At first, I didn’t really like this song, but boy did it grow on me. This entire song is really catchy and I especially love the part with the wooden blocks in the chorus. I’d love to see this do well here, and I think it will.
Best Debut: South of the Border - Ed Sheeran/Camila Cabello/Cardi B
Biggest DROP!!!: You Need To Calm Down - Taylor Swift (-5): Man, our biggest jumps and drops have been really small lately.
Biggest Jump: Into the Unknown - Panic! At The Disco (+11): I really hope this keeps jumping since this is a great song.

Put A Little Love On Me - Niall Horan [2]
Play Your Game - X Lovers [1]
Push My Luck - The Chainsmokers [6*]
Mind Is A Prison - Alec Benjamin [1]
Wave - Meghan Trainor/Mike Sabath [10*]
Next is a song that I recommended a really long time ago called Good Thing by Zedd and Kehlani. I love this song and I feel like Zedd really redeemed himself here from The Middle. Kehlani sounds great here and we really haven’t heard much from her since Nights Like This with Ty Dolla $ign, so I’m glad she’s back. Overall this is a great song, even though it still uses that stupid ticking clock which needs to die.
Next up we have these two guys called X Lovers (kind of a stupid name) with a song called Play Your Game. This sounds like k-pop. Especially the “EH! EH! EH!” part. I really don’t feel like reviewing it, because it’s probably not gonna debut, so there’s no real point.
Mind Is A Prison is a typical Alec Benjamin song. I feel like that’s all I need to say and you know exactly what it sounds like.

Don’t Blurb Now
Alright, so last week we lost two songs, Stack It Up and all the good girls go to hell. I’m really glad Stack It Up left, but I can’t believe all the good girls didn’t last longer. And then for this week’s exits, we have Watermelon Sugar, frick, i’m lonely, Lights Up and Look At Her Now. Watermelon Sugar and Lights Up were really good and left too soon, same with frick, i’m lonely. And Look At Her Now was just okay.
Not much happened this week, so there’s no more blurbs, because I have nothing to say.

It's been forever but I'm missing Walk Me Home, Jesus in LA, Let Me Down Slowly, 3 Nights, and I'm Lonely. All of these songs were some of my favorites and I'm also hoping IWHEO doesn't leave soon.
