So knocking out Living Proof this week, we get My Oh My by Camila Cabello (and not DaBaby). This song is really good, and I’m very happy it knocked out Living Proof, which was only okay. I love the vibe in this song. Wait, no. Honestly, this song is a vibe. Well, the DaBaby version, that is. He added a lot to the song, and the song honestly feels kind of bland without him. I’m hoping that Hits 1 adds him back, but I highly doubt it, since this is Hits 1 we’re talking about.

And then after that, we got 4 songs available for vote that didn’t make Hit-Bound. Our first is Yummy by Justin Bieber. Okay, I’m just gonna cut to the chase. I don’t like this. It feels choppy and messy and overall could’ve used some more flow, because in the chorus, there are parts where Justin sounds like he’s 15, but then some parts where he actually sounds like himself. And they’re all chopped together to make one big happy family. So yeah. I don’t like this.

Next we get yet another TiK ToK meme with Say So by Doja Cat. This song sucks. Doja Cat sounds really bad doing that high stuff, and honestly the entire song is really boring and I want to sleep. Goodnight!

Now we’re getting into the not-so-bad stuff with 10/10 by Orange Rex County. Now, I can’t remember much of this song, (which is never really a good sign) but from what I can remember, it wasn’t that bad. I’m pretty sure the guy was Australian, and there were some elements of the song that I really liked, but I can’t quite put my finger on at the moment.

I kind of forgot that Hits 1 stanned pop/Florida Georgia Line songs until they picked up on this one, Fight with Tayla Parx. This song’s pretty good. I like how their voices blend in the chorus, and yeah. That’s just about all I can remember for the moment.

Blurbs

Time fell a lot this week, which makes me very sad.

Purple Hat has started jumping. Hopefully, it’ll start dropping soon since it’s not even on the voting poll.

Dance Monkey has started jumping again. ;)

Truth Hurts started dropping! Except it brought Trampoline with it, which sucks.

Don’t Start Now is coming up to the top 20, which is great.

Honestly, I never really expected ROXANNE to hit top 20, but I’m very happy it did. My blog hasn’t had the 6 point bonus in the ranking in a really long time.

I’m not sure why Make You Mine hit a new peak, but whatever.

Kay, hold on. I need to end this better. I can't just end it with this random part that I put in there just because I was bored. Hm. I need something to say. Uhhhhhh. "This is Beluga, swimming away". No, that's cringey. "Goodbye!" No, that's too boring. What's goodbye in Swahili?

Kwaheri, everybody. Eat your vegetables.
