Ashe/Niall Horan (2)

Again, a really good week ruined by Moral of the Story. Ah, well. Not much you can do, Hits 1 is just mostly annoying like that. We still love Hits 1 though.

Last Year’s #1: If I Can’t Have You - Shawn Mendes [8/9 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Backyard Boy - Claire Rosinkranz

Drake finally makes his 2020 Weekend Countdown debut, with his best song of the year so far, Laugh Now Cry Later featuring Lil Durk. He sounds like he cares about the song, which is already much better than both Toosie Slide and POPSTAR. Lil Durk also does a very good verse here. The production’s pretty good, although repetitive, and I like the beat a lot. Good song.

But a great song makes its debut at #25, Mood by 24kGoldn and iann dior. It’s almost insane how catchy the hook is in this song. In a rap song too, you don’t really see many catchy rap hooks, but this definitely does it. Both 24kGoldn and iann dior sound really good here, and the production is fantastic. The guitar is very good and works really well with the song, and overall, this is just a really really good song. Glad that Hits 1 decided to pick up on more rap songs this year. That’s pretty much the one good thing that came out of 2020.

Best Debut: Mood - 24kGoldn/iann dior

Biggest DROP!!!: Old Me - 5 Seconds of Summer (-11): Good. I’m really glad that this song is probably gonna leave soon.

Biggest Jump: Bang! - AJR (+11): This is at #6!!! Woah! Hopefully it becomes a huge hit here!

Midnight Sky left the Countdown and re-entered Hit-Bound this week. I find it a little ridiculous, but I’m not disappointed.

Our first actual new song this week is a new one from BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez, called Ice Cream. Yeah, there’s two k-pop songs on Hit-Bound now. This song is super weird. The production’s really odd, and the “ice cream, chillin’” part isn’t great. That being said, all of the girls sound pretty good. So for that reason it’s not bad… I think this might grow on me though. That rapping part isn’t that good though.

Next is Over Now by Calvin Harris and The Weeknd. Oh boy. This isn’t that great. I don’t really like The Weeknd’s voice in this song, I much prefer it in the upbeat stuff, and this song can get pretty boring at parts. Calvin Harris didn’t do a spectacular job with the production. Not much else to say about this one.

Why You Always in a Blurb?

We lost one other song this week, that being Roses. It really sucks to see this song go after having such a mediocre run here.

How is WHATS POPPIN in the bottom 5? I thought this was a hit.

Breaking Me took a big hit after getting the biggest jump last week, which kind of sucks, but I expect it to jump back up again soon.

Funny and Control are both in the top 20. Glad to see Funny getting some success, but does Control really have to be a thing?

Geez, Lose Somebody is still jumping! I seriously never expected this.

Wildflower jumped again into the top 15. Gotta say, with this momentum, it’s probably gonna hit #1.

I thought Savage Love was gonna hit #1 this week, but I guess it can take its time.

We also lost a few Hit-Bound songs this week, Heartless, POPSTAR and exile. I’m kind of sad to see all of these go, since they were all good, but I guess some things aren’t meant to be.

Last Year's #1: Señorita - Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello [1/1 week at #1]

Our lowest debut actually comes in pretty high, at #26, we have a song that actually debuted the Hot 100 last week, but jumped really high, skipping On the Verge to come join the party. I'm talking about Mood by 24kGoldn and iann dior. I've already talked about this song earlier this week, and I have a feeling I'm gonna have to talk about this tomorrow again, so I'm gonna keep this short. The song's super catchy, both dudes sound great, and the instrumental is spectacular. Amazing song.

At #14, we have another song that I've had to review quite a bit recently, Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus. Again, the production's really great, but Miley doesn't suit the song all that well. Clearly, it reflected here too, as it missed the top 10 on its debut, so I wouldn't expect it to do that well. It's still a decent song though.

Next is a country top 10 debut. Which legit never happens. Like, ever. This is a big deal, guys. Anyways, this song is by Morgan Wallen, and it's called 7 Summers. Unfortunately, this isn't that good. His voice doesn't sound all that good... like, at all, and the instrumental really doesn't help at all. It's really boring, and shouldn't have debuted as high as it did.

A good top 10 debut comes up next, and it just barely missed the #1 spot, as Laugh Now Cry Later by Drake featuring Lil Durk comes in at #2. I kind of wished it took the spot from WAP, but whatever, there's not much you can do. Drake actually sounds like he cares about this song, which is already a huge step up from POPSTAR and Toosie Slide. The production's actually pretty solid, and the beat is great. Lil Durk adds a nice level of freshness, and he actually delivers pretty well. This is a good song. Not great though, because the production's kind of repetitive. But good.

Best Debut: Mood - 24kGoldn/iann dior

Biggest DROP!!!: Smile - Juice WRLD/The Weeknd (-27): I expected this to drop, but I'm still a little disappointed. #teamcome&goforlife though.

Biggest Jump: Be Like That - Kane Brown/Swae Lee/Khalid & For The Night - Pop Smoke/Lil Baby/DaBaby (+3): *snickers* three spots as the biggest jump. That's just sad. Good for both songs though, I think I'm starting to like For The Night more, even if Lil Baby is there.

All of the songs that left the Top 40 this week re-entered On the Verge: Girls in the Hood, Say So, Rain On Me and my future. Take a wild stab at which two I like, and which two I dislike.

Anyways, our first of only two debuts this week is One Of Them Girls by Lee Brice. This starts as one of your typical country songs, with the mediocre verses and alright production, but then the chorus happens, and I actually like it. Lee Brice's voice actually sounds pretty good, and the instrumentation is actually pretty good there, and I like how it builds. Yeah, good song.

Lovin' On You by Luke Combs, on the other hand, is your typical country song. Plucky guitar, not great vocals and an overall boring experience. Not much else to say here.

That Was Seven Blurbs Ago

We lost a few On the Verge songs this week: Hard To Forget, Done, the 1, Supalonely, Like That and Bluebird. Sad to see Hard To Forget and Like That gone, but happy that Supalonely and Bluebird are gone.

Party Girl, We Paid and Intentions all took six spot dips to the bottom 5. I'd be fine with all of them leaving next week.

cardigan took a pretty big hit this week too. I seriously didn't expect it to flop this hard.

Rags2Riches fell ten spots this week. Kind of sucks that it didn't stay in the top 20 for much longer after its debut.

Okay, how is Circles still here? Seriously? I still like it, but how?

I Hope made it into the top 10 this week, which I guess I'm pretty happy about.

Yeah, that just about raps up this week. See where Dynamite by BTS lands next week, and if it nabs the top spot.

Last Year’s #1: If I Can’t Have You - Shawn Mendes [7/9 weeks at #1]

Countdown Extra: Be Happy - Dixie D’Amelio

Our first debut, at #26, after just one week in Hit-Bound, is Midnight Sky by Miley Cyrus. The production in this song is really really good. Like I last week, it sounds like something that would come out of Future Nostalgia. I don’t think Miley Cyrus was the best choice for this song, but she does an alright job here. This is an okay song.

But the real highlight of the debuts is our final debut this week, finally coming in at #17, Bang! by AJR!!! SiriusXM The Pulse, the AT40 and even the freaking Hot 100 all beat Hits 1 on adding this song to their lists. This is well overdue, but it’s here now, so I don’t even care. This is legit one of my favourite songs of probably ever. This is hands-down my favourite AJR song, even better than Sober Up (which I consider one of the most underrated songs of the 2010s). The carnival vibe fits Jack Met’s voice so well, and the chorus is so catchy. Even the weird voice saying “here we go” fits with this song. Everything about it works so well, and I love it in every way. I hope this is a huge hit.

Best Debut: Bang! - AJR

Biggest DROP!!!: Control - Zoe Wees (-7): Pffffffffshhhhh, HAHAHAHAHAHA. Two biggest drops in a row. I can’t believe it.

Biggest Jump: Breaking Me - Topic/A7S (+14): Woah. Didn’t expect that, but I’m really happy about it.

K-pop boy band sensation BTS have a new song this week called Dynamite, and dang! This is actually quite good! (Not as good as Make It Right, but that was just mostly because of Lauv.) The production in this song is honestly really great. The guitar fits really well, even if you can only barely hear it. The song overall is pretty catchy, but my only slow problem with this is that their voices aren’t that great. The main dudes sound alright, but the guys that have a huge falsetto don’t sound that great. The key change was also actually pretty well-done. Good job, BTS.

Five, six, seven, eight, this song isn’t that great. I’m talking about Backyard Boy by Claire Rosinkranz. I don’t like this really at all. Claire’s voice is seriously nothing that special, and the production is super boring. The deep robotic voice is super weird, and really shouldn’t be here. The writing’s also really weird. Yeah, not a fan.

Next up is a new song by country artist Morgan Wallen, called 7 Summers. Yeah, the same dude in Heartless (or Chasin’ You, if you read my Hot 100 posts. Check ‘em out. They’re some good stuff). I was kind of surprised when I saw that Hits 1 had picked up on a song by a country artist so quickly, but then it debuted in the top 10 of the Hot 100, which literally never happens with country music. Anyways, onto the actual song. It’s not that interesting. Like, at all. Morgan Wallen’s voice isn’t that interesting, and the production is super boring. Yeah, not much to talk about at all. I hope this doesn’t debut, since it really honestly shouldn’t be here, even if it’s probably gonna be a big hit.

New Zara Larsson music comes up next, this one being WOW. I’m kind of disappointed that they skipped over Like It Is with Kygo and Tyga, since it’s leagues better than this. Zara actually has a pretty good voice, but the production is way too weird for me to like it. I don’t think a single artist could pull off production like that. The verses are actually pretty good, but then you get to the… and know that it pains me to say this… drop (and I use that term loosely here). It’s pitched really weirdly, and cut up super weirdly, and I don’t even know what to think right now.

Let’s Go Out with a Blurb (Blurb! Blurb! Blurb!)

We lost two songs this week: Daisies and Break My Heart. Daisies always sucked, so I’m really happy to see it gone. As for Break My Heart, I’m really sad it didn’t get the #1, but it was getting kind of old. Still disappointed though.

How is Let There Be Love at #30? Come on. This better jump in the next couple of weeks.

HAHA my future is a FLOOOOOOOP!

How is WHATS POPPIN not doing better? It’s a hit and really good.

I guess I spoke too soon last week, as Roses loses its top 20 spot this week. Perfect.

Both Wildflower and Lose Somebody entered the top 20. I didn’t think the latter would get any momentum whatsoever, so I’m very happy, and the former… I mean, it’s 5SOS, what did you expect?

Like That actually got a decent jump this week. Hopefully it becomes a hit here.

Old Me finally left the top 10! This was well overdue, and should’ve happened months ago.

Come & Go is in the top 10? Uh, okay! I’ll certainly take it!

Both Watermelon Sugar and Midnight fell out of the top 5 this week, which is good because they’re starting to get old.

I Hope and Savage Love replaced them, which is great, because they’re good!

And our new #1… Moral of the Story. I’m not even gonna complain, because you guys know how I feel about this, and all I can say is that hopefully, Savage Love dethrones it very soon.

Last Year's #1: bad guy - Billie Eilish [1/1 week at #1]

Our first and lowest entrant this week is by Kane Brown, and it's called Cool Again. I seriously didn't think I would like this, since Kane Brown is a pretty big hit and miss for me, and he was my least favourite part of Be Like That, but I think he works much better with this song than with that one. He's the highlight here, but the song just seems to fit more with him. The chorus is great, the verses are really good, and his voice is honestly pretty solid. The only parts I don't really like are the guitar, and that weird bridge. But other than that, this is a good song.

Geez, back-to-back Kane Brown. Like I said earlier, I think Cool Again is better than Be Like That featuring Swae Lee and Khalid. The best part in this song are the features. Swae Lee does a good job here (for Swae Lee standards. Nothing can be better than Sunflower) and Khalid delivers a really solid verse, but I find that this song gets kind of boring. The production is super uninteresting, and the melody's alright. Still good, but definitely not as good as Cool Again.

It's been a while since I last reviewed this next song, but it returns for its second week this week. I'm talking about Girls in the Hood by Megan Thee Stallion. This definitely isn't as good as Savage, but I think Megan still has really good flow, and the chorus is good. The production's alright, and I think Meg does a good job at working with it, but this isn't as good as Savage. Still good though.

Wow, Rod Wave must really not use that tactic, since his song Rags2Riches featuring ATR Son Son makes its debut this week pretty high. Which is great, since this song is pretty good. I think the chorus is pretty good, even if it's just one line repeated over and over again, and the beat was pretty well-made. It feels a little boring at parts, and it's kind of short, but it's still not bad.

I guess Juice WRLD's label had another song that they wanted to add to Legends Never Die, since Smile with The Weeknd was just released. This is definitely good (I mean, I liked a good chunk of the album). I think The Weeknd adds some to the song, and he delivers pretty well, but I have a problem with this. This should be much better. The chorus is only alright, and The Weeknd uses his voice that he used for the boring songs from After Hours, which just brings me bad memories. But I still think it's alright. Juice sounds great.

The #1 debut that I'm pretty sure everyone saw coming is next. WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. The production's alright, and both girls deliver pretty well, but there's an obvious problem with this. The lyrics are... questionable, to say the very least. The clean version censors it to "Wet and gushy", which is weird. Yeah, I don't think there's much else to say about this.

Best Entrant: Cool Again - Kane Brown

Biggest DROP!!!: my future - Billie Eilish (-32): I expected this to drop, but this dropped HARD. Hopefully, this is the song that makes Billie Eilish fade to irrelevance.

Biggest Jump: Mood Swings - Pop Smoke/Lil Tjay (+8): Wow, I seriously didn't expect this to do better than For The Night, or especially The Woo. Good, though.

Why We Drink - Justin Moore (DEBUT)

I Love My Country - Florida Georgia Line

Like That - Doja Cat/Gucci Mane (RE-ENTRY)

Bluebird - Miranda Lambert (RE-ENTRY)

A few songs left the Top 40 and re-entered On the Verge this week. The Box, Hard To Forget, the 1 and Bluebird. It really sucks to see The Box and Hard To Forget gone, and I wish the latter had gotten more success, but I'm glad Bluebird's gone.

The only new song this week is a country song, Why We Drink by Justin Moore. This song is essentially just saying "we drink all the time, because we're awesome!" So yeah. Other than that, there's not much else to talk about. His voice is annoying and the production isn't that interesting. Next.

Like That is back again. Hopefully, it'll debut the Top 40 sometime soon.

From Blurbs to Riches

There's two Top 40 songs that left that I haven't already talked about: exile and Move Ya Hips. I'm kind of glad Move Ya Hips wasn't a hit, but it sucks that exile isn't getting any success, since it's really good.

Wishing Well took a huge dip this week. I guess the release of it hasn't really helped all that much.

cardigan also took a huge tumble down to #24. Gotta say, I definitely expected this, and it's not like it deserved to take up a top 10 slot.

Seems like Blueberry Faygo's losing momentum. I'm kind of alright, since it did really well while it was here, but I still really like it, so I'm sad to see it go.

Before You Go is somehow in the top 10. I mean, seriously? This just means it'll stay for even longer on Hits 1.

Bruh, Watermelon Sugar fell to #5 after hitting #1 last week. I didn't really expect that, but I'm not too disappointed.

Hot 100 Exits from Past Top 40 Songs

Falling - Trevor Daniel (#48) [#17] {38 weeks}

Walk Em Down - NLE Choppa/Roddy Ricch (#59) [#38] {20 weeks}

the last great american dynasty - Taylor Swift (#66) [#13] {2 weeks}

my tears ricochet - Taylor Swift (#69) [#16] {2 weeks}

august - Taylor Swift (#73) [#23] {2 weeks}

mirrorball - Taylor Swift (#93) [#26] {2 weeks}

Blood On My Jeans - Juice WRLD (#96) [#12] {4 weeks}

seven - Taylor Swift (#98) [#35] {2 weeks}

There's not too much to talk about here, since most of it is either folklore songs or the one Legends Never Die song, but we did get rid of two other songs: Falling and Walk Em Down. I really liked Walk Em Down, so it's sad to see that go, but Falling was overdue.

Kwaheri, everybody! See you all soon.
