Last Year’s #1: Sucker - Jonas Brothers [1/13 weeks at #1]


Countdown Extra: Know Your Worth - Khalid/Disclosure

Kicking it off with our first debut, we have death bed by Powfu and beabadoobee. I’m really conflicted on this one. I don’t mind Powfu’s rapping and everything, the song’s catchy enough, but beabadoobee’s TWO LINES that run throughout the ENTIRE SONG are really really annoying. So yeah, I’m not sure about this one.

Next up we have a better debut by the name of Moral of the Story by Ashe. This girl gives off almost a Billie Eilish vibe, except that she’s a bit louder which is very nice actually. The song’s pretty catchy too, and I love the chorus here. Easily one of the best debuts this week.

At #36, spending only one week on the voting poll, we have the other girl by Kelsea Ballerini and Halsey. This song is actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Both Kelsea and Halsey’s voices actually go really well together, although at times it does feel like Halsey is way more produced than Kelsea. This song is very very catchy though. Will this do well? Yeah, it’ll probably hit #1, and I’ll be fine with that.

Two spots up from that, we have Sunday Best by Surfaces. Honestly, I did a full 181 on this song. I used to hate it, but this song is way too catchy and fun to hate. Although I don’t love his voice, it’s kind of grown on me like Tones And I’s did, and has become a lot more tolerable. The chorus is really good, and the lyrics are extremely feel-good. I love this song.

From Trolls: World Tour, (which is apparently coming out on digital instead of theatres because you know why), we get The Other Side by SZA and Justin Timberlake. Will this be as big as CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!? No, I don’t think so, but that’s okay. I like that they didn’t go for the incredibly pop-ish thing again, and went for a more groovy R&B vibe. Which I appreciate a lot. Both artists do really well here, and I like how SZA is credited first. I’d be fine if this did well.

And having a super-weird run, that I think might start happening more often because Falling is on Hit-Bound again, we have Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles returning for its third non-consecutive week. I’m not sure this’ll do well though. I have a feeling it’s gonna have a similar run to Take What You Want, as it’s already lost all traction. But that being said, I’m glad it’s racking up some points for the 2020 Ultimate Rank, and I’m glad to see it back here. For the review, you guys know I like it. It’s got some really great production, and Harry does a much better job vocally here than Adore You, which needs to leave #1 right now.

Best Entrant: Sunday Best - Surfaces

Biggest DROP!!!: Rare - Selena Gomez & Bob Dylan - Fall Out Boy (-7): Meh to both of these songs. I never really liked Rare, and I never really cared about Bob Dylan. There are definitely some better FOB songs.

Biggest Jump: Maniac - Conan Gray & My Oh My - Camila Cabello (+6): I love Maniac, and I’d love to see it be a hit, but I honestly don’t care that much about My Oh My, and I don't get why people love it so much.

Our only entrant on Hit-Bound/the Voting Poll this week is Falling by Trevor Daniel. In case you were wondering, yes, this was previously on the countdown, and yes, you read it as an exit this week. I guess it’s not done yet. Which is a shame, because I don’t really like this song. I don’t like his voice, but other than that I guess it’s okay. But yeah, this isn’t for me, although it’ll probably re-enter next week.

Moral of the Blurb-y

We lost six songs this week, which is actually a lot compared to the usual three or four. We lost as follows: Make You Mine, Don’t Let It Break Your Heart, Memories, Falling, Cuz I Love You and Take What You Want. For both DLIBYH and TWYW, they both didn’t last very long (the former only lasting one week) and I really liked both of them. Although DLIBYH is still on the voting poll, I can’t see it lasting very long there. Make You Mine was about five years old, so goodbye (although it was pretty good and has a decent shot at making my top 45 songs of 2020) Memories was really starting to get on my nerves, to the point where if it did last another week, it for sure would’ve been in orange. Cuz I Love You was just not great, so good riddance, and Falling I’ve already talked about, as it’s up for re-entry (which might be a common theme this year)

Our losses this week consisted of Easier, and that’s it. Despite it being very old and me being happy it’s going, there are definitely some other old songs that also deserve to be losses, such as Only Human and Teeth.

Our only gain this week is Blinding Lights. YAY!!! We’re in the top 6, and checking out that top 5 right there. If this could PLEASE hit #1 soon, that would be much appreciated!

Dance Monkey needs to pick whether it wants to be a hit or not. It can’t just be jamming in the 30-21 range. Although I mean… that is decent points, so y’know what, I’m fine with it.

Demons dropped out of the top 20 this week and I’m happy about that. Hits 1 needs to stop picking up these mediocre Alec Benjamin songs.

me & ur ghost is in the top 20 now I guess. It’s pretty good, but I don’t really see it being a huge hit.

I’ve kind of lost interest in Stupid Love, and if you ask me, I don’t think this is gonna be a hit at all.

Callout Scores: Week of March 28, 2020 - The Weeknd (5) & Post Malone, Ozzy Osbourne & Travis Scott (1)

So I just realized that I forgot to put Don't Let It Break Your Heart in last week's form... but it doesn't matter anyways since it left this week anyways.

Also, despite being in the top 3, Take What You Want will not be in this week's form, because it did not appear in either the countdown or Hit-Bound.

Countdown Extra: death bed (coffee for your head) - Powfu/beabadoobee

Okay, now that that’s out of the way, we can talk about our debut this week, Don’t Let It Break Your Heart by Louis Tomlinson. This is probably my second-favourite song right now. If you don’t know what my favourite song is, shame on you. This song is great. I love the style here, with him recording his voice over and over again in the chorus to give it almost an effect that it’s a One Direction song, and I feel it works really well. The lyrics are really great and well thought-out. I seriously have no criticisms here. Good job Louis. *7 weeks in Hit-Bound, 8 weeks on Voting Poll

Biggest DROP!!!: Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi (-7): This is the oldest song on the countdown as of right now, so I’m totally okay with it dropping, even if it was only seven spots.

Biggest Jump: Modern Loneliness - Lauv (+6):  I actually really like this song, and I’m very happy that it’s jumping. Good job, Lauv.

the other girl - Kelsea Ballerini/Halsey [1]

Supalonely - BENEE/Gus Dapperton [1]

In Your Eyes - The Weeknd [1]

Small Talk - Niall Horan [1]

Bad Child - Tones And I [1]

Starting off with the other girl by Kelsea Ballerini and Halsey, I have to say, this is much better than I expected it to be. It’s a neat little country/pop song, and I think both artists do really well here. This song is really good and definitely surpassed my expectations.

Next up, we have Supalonely by BENEE and Gus Dapperton, and this is really bad. The beat is cool in itself, but the “LALALALA” part is honestly quite odd and I don’t like it at all. BENEE herself isn’t terrible, but Gus really just tears apart this song for me, to the point where it’s unlistenable. Oh yeah, also Tik Tok. Again. I mean at this point, I’m half-expecting Cannibal by Kesha to debut Hit-Bound.

So I recently listened to The Weeknd’s new album, After Hours, and after the first little bit, I was not really liking it all that much. All of the songs really either sounded like the first part of the title track, or Heartless, neither of which I really like, and it was refreshing when Blinding Lights came on. But right after it, we got this song, In Your Eyes, and it was honestly really great. It gives off even more of an 80s vibe than Blinding Lights. And I really like it. More than Blinding Lights? Of course not, don’t be ridiculous, but it’s still a really solid song.

I also recently listened to Niall Horan’s new album, Heartbreak Weather, and I remember hearing Small Talk, and being like: “Hey, this is really good” I still stand by that three days later. It’s kind of cool, like to the point where I can’t describe it, so go listen to it yourself because I’m tired.

Finally, we have Bad Child by Tones And I. After Dance Monkey was a huge hit, I was like: “okay, this is good, but what’s next?” because if it was just a gimmick, then there wasn’t much else she could do, and she would become a one-hit wonder. But I sincerely think this is gonna be her second hit. I think she uses her voice even better here, and I’d love to see this be a hit.

Yeah, you probably have a question here. I’ve done a full 180 on Sunday Best. Honestly, the lyrics are great, the production is great, and his voice isn’t all that bad. I made a mistake putting it in red. Also the “coffee for your head” got added in parenthesis to death bed.

Don't Let It Blurb Your Heart

We lost Wanted this week. I’m very happy this song is gone, because it was always really boring, and was honestly just taking up space.

Losses:

Memories: Good. I’m really starting to lose interest on this one, to the point where it’s in red, and I’m starting to thoroughly regret putting it in my Top 45 Songs of 2019 list.

Easier: This is also an old one that has to leave.

Gains:

Intentions: Glad to see this getting a bit of traction on its second week.

No Judgement: I’d be fine with seeing this in the top 20.

Blinding Lights: YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Top 11, baby!

Top 5:

hot girl bummer: I don’t think anyone expected this to hit the top 5 when they first heard it. I certainly didn’t.

What A Man Gotta Do: Why is this dropping? This needs to hit #1!

Teeth: Why doesn’t this song please just leave!

Don't Start Now: This could hit #1 too, and I’d be fine with that.

Adore You: This needs to leave #1! Now! It's super irrelevant, and I'm certain nobody's voting for it.

Week of March 14, 2020 - Harry Styles (5)

Harry Styles (5)

One year ago, history was made as Sucker made the highest debut ever at #8. It also made a record number of #1 weeks at 13. It then ended at #3 of the year. Good job. As for this week, it looks as though a fuse went off. It’s insane up in here. Except no new #1. Also, here’s the callout scores form for next week. Also also, I have a couple extra weeks of March Break (Canadian Spring Break) so watch out for some cool new posts.

Last Year’s #1: Hey Look Ma, I Made It - Panic! At The Disco [2/3 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Sunday Best - Surfaces

Our first debut, down at #41, we have Maniac by a new artist, Conan Gray. This song’s pretty good. I feel like the verses are a little weak, and could use something, but the chorus is really good. It’s extremely catchy, and he sounds really really good here. I really like seeing new artists break out at this time of year, and I’m very excited to see what Conan has to offer.

Skipping Hit-Bound, we have I Love Me by Demi Lovato. This is definitely better than Anyone, and I’m for sure glad this debuted, rather than Anyone. This song is pretty catchy, but I’m just not sure I like it. I may have to formulate a better opinion on it, but for now, it’s just kind of meh. However, I can see this doing really well.

Justin Bieber gets his second song on the countdown from his album Changes, called Intentions featuring Quavo. This is so much better than Yummy. The lyrics are actually somewhat smart, and the production is so much better. Plus, the melodies even are improved on. This song is just so much better than Yummy, that it really deserves this spot. I’m very glad Yummy flopped.

Niall Horan gets the highest debut this week with No Judgement at #30. Meh. This song is kind of boring, and really doesn’t have enough to it as Nice To Meet Ya. I honestly couldn’t care less about this song.

Best Debut: Intentions - Justin Bieber/Quavo

Biggest DROP!!!: Good As Hell - Lizzo (-17): This song’s pretty old. It was due time for it to start dropping.

Biggest Jump: me & ur ghost - blackbear & Bob Dylan - Fall Out Boy (+17): me & ur ghost is very great jumping up like this and I’d love to see it hit the top 20, but why is Bob Dylan getting a second life? It seems really irrelevant at this point.

Oh My God - Alec Benjamin [4]

First up, we have 17 by Pink Sweat$, and I have to say, from the band name, this is not what I expected. This is a ballad. Yeah, you probably didn’t see that coming either. It’s not bad by any means, I think I just need time to formulate an opinion (again). It’s definitely leaning more towards green though.

Next up is Moral of the Story by Ashe, and this song is honestly really good. Ashe is actually a really great song, and the writing is great too, which apparently FINNEAS worked on (Billie Eilish’s brother). So yeah, this song is pretty good. Although, it was released last year, so I'm not sure why it's big now. [Editor's Note (also me, by the way): Tik Tok]

Next up, we have death bed by Powfu and beabadoobee (Yes, that’s a real artist's name). I think the female voice, which I think is beabadoobee, is a little persistent. Because it never stops. Powfu just kind of raps overtop of it. But other than that, this is a very solid song, and I’m not sure why Hits 1 just decided not to show us this and Moral of the Story on the voting poll. [Editor's Note: This is also Tik Tok... apparently. Our Hit-Bound is corrupted]

Hits 1 seems to be insistent on picking up Monsta X’s music, as we get YOU CAN’T HOLD MY HEART after WHO DO U LOVE? (a Hit-Bound dropout last year). This song honestly isn’t bad. It’s extremely catchy, and it really doesn’t sound all that much like k-pop. Even though it is, that really doesn’t bother me as much as it should.

Finally, we get more of The Chainsmokers (who else?) teaming up with blink-182, on P.S. I Hope You’re Happy. This is very good. All the artists have some pretty good voices, and the “I won’t be shy for the sake of it” line is pretty great. Travis Barker also kills it with the percussion. Very good song by The Chainsmokers.

Best Debut: um…….. Geez. I’m not sure. I guess Moral of the Story - Ashe

No Blurb-ment

We lost four songs this week: Señorita and Lover were pretty old, and were for sure destined to leave. Who Do You Love was really old and shouldn’t have lasted as long as it did for being a #1 of the year. As for 10/10, it should’ve lasted a lot longer.

Gains:

Take What You Want: Very glad this song is getting success.
Heartless: As for this, not so much. It is slightly growing on me though.
Dance Monkey: This song has been a rollercoaster. Really hope it hits top 20 though.
Stupid Love: For sure glad to see this in the top 20 in its second week.
Blinding Lights: I’m VERY happy to see this in the top 20.
Demons: I’m not sure why this is in the top 20, let alone the countdown at all.
You should be sad: I’m super happy this is close to the top 10.

Losses:

Wanted: I have no clue why this song even debuted at all. I’m very glad to see it leaving.
Lose You To Love Me: This song should’ve lasted for a bit longer at the top.
Beautiful People: This song was pretty old. I still like it though.
Rare: I’m surprised this wasn’t a hit, but I’m glad.
Someone You Loved: This is now the oldest song on the countdown, and it should start dropping.
Graveyard: This is also old, and was too big of a hit here for my liking.
Easier: This needs to leave now.
Only Human: Same with this.
Some Kind Of Disaster: Aw man, did this really have to drop out of the top 20?
South of the Border: This was a surprise. A little odd to see it drop so soon.

Top 5:

Nice To Meet Ya: This is getting kind of old, this should probably leave the top 5 soon.
Teeth: This should have left the top 5 a long time ago.
What A Man Gotta Do: Can this please hit #1?
Don’t Start Now: I’d be okay with this hitting #1 too.
Adore You: This has gone on long enough. Please fall off of #1, Adore You.

Last Year’s #1: Hey Look Ma, I Made It - Panic! At The Disco [1/3 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Maniac - Conan Gray

Okay, so for our first debut, at #40, we have Falling by Trevor Daniel. I don’t really like this one. Okay, first of all, his voice sounds super whiny. To the point where it gets really really annoying. The production’s not terrible here, but it’s nothing really special. The song itself is pretty catchy, and I’ll give it that, but other than that, this is just another whiny-rap song.

At #38, we have me & ur ghost, blackbear’s second song here, because hot girl bummer is somehow becoming a hit (yeah, I’m not quite sure how) I actually really like his voice, and the vibe on all his songs is really cool. This one’s actually quite different from hot girl bummer, and I really like that he decided to switch it up a bit.

After seventeen weeks, Take What You Want by Post Malone, Ozzy Osbourne and Travis Scott finally debuts. I feel like I’ve said everything I need to say about this one. It’s really good and I’d love to see it be a hit. Except that’s the problem. I have no clue why it debuted, since it hasn’t been on the Hot 100 in a long time, and there’s no way it’s gonna get any traction now. I mean, it’s already off of the voting poll, so it might be the song that lasts only one week, which would be a shame.

Next up, for our highest debut, we have Stupid Love by Lady Gaga. This is a great song. Honestly, it’s probably one of my most favourite Gaga songs ever. It sounds a little more like her old stuff than The Cure, which is good, but it also mixes in a bit of current stuff, like a drop (which is nice). So yeah, I love this song.

Best Debut: Stupid Love - Lady Gaga

Biggest DROP!!!: How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith, 10/10 - Rex Orange County & Dance Monkey - Tones and I (-5): I’m not sure why the biggest drops and jumps are so low, with so many debuts, but other than that, I love both of these songs and really wouldn’t like for them to leave. (I just realized How Do You Sleep? was here too. Meh, this is also really close to the bottom)

Biggest Jump: What A Man Gotta Do - Jonas Brothers (+5): This is a great song to be at #3. I’d very much like for it to replace Adore You at #1 very very very very soon.

RITMO (Bad Boys For Life) - Black Eyed Peas/J Balvin [1]

For our first Hit-Bound song, we got SUGAR by BROCKHAMPTON. This is a little odd to have here, since it kind of feels like a rap boy-band, except it’s not really. I don’t mind this one. For the moment it’s just okay, but I can for sure see this growing on me. (Not much of a review here, but you’ll get a better one when it debuts. And I’m pretty sure it will. It’s getting quite the traction)

The Black Eyed Peas score their first song on Hits 1 since like, 2010, this time with RITMO with J Balvin (and without Fergie, but this song works without her since they used a sample) This samples from Rhythm of the Night, and both the BEP’s and J Balvin’s voices work really well with it (and together, surprisingly) this song is pretty long, which is great since it’s really good.

Blurb What You Want

We lost four songs this week: Truth Hurts, What Am I, If I Can’t Have You and Fight. Truth Hurts, What Am I and IICHY were definitely due to leave, and Fight was getting really really annoying.

Nothing happened this week. Adios!
