Yeah, so I recently remembered some more stats that I wanted to do, so I figured I'd just do a part 2 to my previous Year in Review post. I'm just gonna jump right into it with our first award.
Most Entrants in a Week
I Should Probably Go To Bed - Dan + Shay (#30), my future - Billie Eilish (#28), Lose Somebody - Kygo/OneRepublic (#26), Daisies - Katy Perry (#19), Whats Poppin - Jack Harlow (#18), Heather - Conan Gray (#17), & me & ur ghost - blackbear (#5) [7 entrants] [August 8]
Cool. There were definitely some other years when this happened more than just once, but it's still cool when this happens every once in a while.
Next is some awards relating to the length of songs.
Shortest Countdown Song
CITY OF ANGELS - 24kGoldn (1:52)
Longest Countdown Song
The Hype - Twenty One Pilots (4:25)
Shortest Hit-Bound Dropout
Backyard Boy - Claire Rosinkranz (2:09)
Longest Hit-Bound Dropout
exile - Taylor Swift/Bon Iver (4:45)
Next up is just a percentage of all of the genres for the Countdown songs.
Countdown Song Genres
Upbeat Pop (37%)
Slow Pop (22%)
Rap (16%)
EDM (9%)
Pop Rock (9%)
Country (4%)
R&B (2%)
K-Pop (1%)
Latino (1%)
Upbeat Pop (predictably) is the #1 genre of the year, but I think the most notable thing here is that rap actually had 16% of all of the Countdown songs. That's insane especially compared to other years when we had little to no rap on here. Other than that, pop rock only had 9% this year, which I'm pretty sure is less than usual, especially since Hits 1 really likes pop rock. But I think that's mostly because bands like Imagine Dragons, Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy didn't really release much this year.
Biggest Whiff of the Year
Life Is Good - Future/Drake
Yeah, this was released back when Hits 1 weren't huge fans of rap and even now, I'm not sure if it would be picked up.
Alright, so here's the last award that I'm giving out. It's called the Oops! I Forgot award. It goes to the most forgettable Countdown song of the year. But first, some honourable mentions:

Hunh, this was actually better than last year. Interesting, considering there were a lot less songs that I hated this year, even with the shortening.
Kwaheri, everybody! See you in the next one.
If you know me, I definitely disagree that Funny was a forgettable song. No one on my Hits 1 discord also agrees with that because they see me continue to listen to it all the time. I also don't think I Love Me was at all forgettable.
