Week of November 27, 2021 - Ed Sheeran (6)

Hey, all! I have two HUGE announcements this week, with the first one being that I finally finished the 2020 Ultimate Rank! If you wanna go check out the entire thing, either click the link at the top of the blog, or click here. The second announcement is that the 2021 Hit-Bound Dropouts Rankdown is officially open! If you're unaware as to what this is, it's where we go and rank all of the Hit-Bound dropouts of 2021, then I compile all the results and we find out how we, collectively, ranked all the songs! It's a ton of fun, and I highly recommend you go check it out, and consider submitting. Even if you don't actively comment and interact with us on the blog, it's a good time. You can check that out by either clicking the link at the top of the blog, or just here. Anyways, this week's Countdown was... interesting, to say the least. A bunch of good things happened, which is great, but one really bad thing happened, which sucks. Anyways, here are our exits for this week!

Countdown Extra: SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY (Remix) - Amaarae/Kali Uchis/Moliy

So for our first debut of the week, we have Taylor Swift's Message In A Bottle taking its rightful place on the Countdown. I love this song. It's easily the best "From The Vault" song that we've gotten from either of her re-recorded albums, and I'm extremely glad that it's actually doing well on pop radio. It makes me hopeful for the future of the song here, especially considering Mr. Perfectly Fine managed to hit #1. I don't actually have much to say about the song itself, except that it's a super catchy, fun Taylor Swift song with great, upbeat production. I'm unsure why this was never chosen to be on the original Red album. But, yeah, I'd love to see this do well here.

So, everyone, Fancy Like has now spent its first week on the Countdown where I didn't label it as my "Least Favourite Countdown Song"... I wish that was a good thing. Unfortunately, a much much much worse song has decided to debut. Walker Hayes scores his second song on the Countdown this week with U Gurl. This is possibly the worst song I've ever heard. At least Fancy Like can get credit for actually being a country song, and containing lots of country elements, but this song is just... genreless awful. In the verses, he's just talking, and then you've got this extremely annoying hook with way too much obnoxious bass. I'd really rather not have to listen to this song ever again, so I don't think I will.

Well, everyone, Monsta X have finally done it! They've made their Countdown debut! Which is great, because I've generally liked every song they've had on here, especially this one, One Day. This song is just a slow, chill song with some great writing and some nice production. Everybody here sounds great, and I honestly think that these guys are better singers than BTS. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I'm so happy that this decided to come out of the Abyss and come say hi. I hope it sticks around for a while. The #19 debut makes me hopeful.

Best Debut: Message In A Bottle (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

Biggest Drop: INDUSTRY BABY - Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow (-10): BOOOOOOOO! This should've hit #1, and I'm really upset that it was blocked by Shivers. I like Shivers, but I'd much rather have Lil Nas X hit #1 than Ed Sheeran for the 50th time.

Biggest Jump: Overpass Graffiti - Ed Sheeran (+9): Speaking of Ed Sheeran, *sighs* it looks like Overpass Graffiti will be his next #1, because this is already in the top 10. This isn't even doing well at all on pop radio! This shouldn't be here.

feel like s**t - Tate McRae

I Feel Good - Pitbull/Anthony Watts/DJ White Shadow

Well, I only really have one song to talk about, as our first Hit-Bound debut, Oh My God by Adele, I talked about yesterday when it was in the Abyss. I guess I'm fine with this being here, although I would've rather had Can I Get It be the single.

Anyways, the only other debut this week is abcdefu by GAYLE. For the moment, I feel like this is just a rip-off version of i hope ur miserable until ur dead, but that doesn't mean it's a bad song. It's a fun little pop-punk song, and GAYLE sounds pretty good here. I'm not a huge fan of the "everybody but your dog" line, it feels a little cringey, but whatever. Also, the radio edit is just awful. For whatever reason, they make it "a, b, c, d, e, forget you", which just doesn't make sense, and sounds super awkward. Anyways, this song's pretty good, and I'd be fine with it becoming a hit.

Woah! We only lost two Hit-Bound songs this week, one of which isn't really gone! Anyways, we lost feel like s**t (which is in the Abyss) and MONEY (again). Since feel like s**t isn't reallt gone, I don't really care. As for MONEY, I never liked it, so I'm glad it decided to leave again.

Blurbs Like Me Like Blurbs That Look Like U, Gurl

So we lost three Countdown songs this week, Run, A-O-K and Beggin'. Run wasn't actually a single, so I'm not disappointed in the slightest that it's gone. A-O-K was never good, and did pretty well here, so I'm pretty happy that it's gone. As for Beggin', it was good, but got slightly old, so I also don't care that it's gone.

I'm surprised that One Right Now didn't jump more, as it's becoming a pretty big hit.

Wow, I'm surprised that Moth To A Flame made that big of a jump, though. I'd really love for this song to be a big hit here.

C'mon, Saturday. Just hang in there for a couple more weeks.

It's kinda funny how Better Days is already in the top 10, and it still has its "One to Watch" status.

Ayy, THATS WHAT I WANT is in the top 5!!! Hopefully, this can do better than INDUSTRY BABY. Please.

Countdown Extra: GHOST TOWN - Benson Boone

Well, that was certainly unexpected. After debuting Hit-Bound last week, The Outside by Twenty One Pilots enters the Countdown at #29! I'm extremely happy that this managed to debut so quickly, as it's a great song. As of right now, I'm not sure how I'd rank it, Shy Away and Saturday, but I'm sure I'll figure it out before I have to make my year-end list. Anyways, this song's nothing short of amazing. The production's really cool here, and actually compliments Tyler Joseph's voice really well. I also love how the song is divided into sections that are all really different from each other, and it makes me a little sad that Hits 1 edited out the last one, even if it's my least favourite. All in all, this is just a really catchy, fun Twenty One Pilots song, and I hope it can manage to hit #1 here.

Speaking of songs that only spent one week in Hit-Bound, Bite Me by Avril Lavigne also enters the Countdown this week. This is a great song. Avril sounds great throughout it, and her voice fits the pop-punk sound much better than it does anything else. Travis Barker did a very good job with the production here too. He's honestly a genius with pop-punk instrumentation. This is an extremely enjoyable song, and I'd love to see it stick around for a bit here.

After releasing Red (Taylor's Version) last week, Taylor Swift scores yet another song on the Weekend Countdown with Run, which is a "From The Vault" song with Ed Sheeran. I'm unsure as to why Hits 1 decided that this was the big single, as Message In A Bottle is the song that's actually being pushed to pop radio, but I'm not as salty about it anymore, considering that that song debuted Hit-Bound this week. Anyways, this song's still pretty good. It's nice and chill, with some warm guitars and nice vocals from both Taylor and Ed. I've liked all of their collaborations, but I would honestly consider saying that this is my favourite of all three. This will likely perform here about the same as Renegade from earlier this year did, but I'd be happy if it decided to do better.

Ed Sheeran also gets a second debut this week, as Overpass Graffiti debuts after dropping out of Hit-Bound last week. I'm totally fine with this being here. It's still not my favourite song from him, and I don't particularly love it, but it's definitely somewhat enjoyable. My main issue with it is that it feels a little bland. He went for a bit of an 80s vibe here, and I don't think he pulled it off as well as artists like Dua Lipa or The Weeknd can. That being said, though, the writing's pretty great, and the melodies are awesome. The production could be better, though.

Best Debut: The Outside - Twenty One Pilots

Biggest Drop: Fancy Like - Walker Hayes & Saturday - Twenty One Pilots (-8): Well, I'm certainly happy that Fancy Like is starting to leave, as a #5 peak was way too high, but I'm pretty sad that Saturday's leaving, even if it had a great run here. I still enjoy it a fair bit.

Biggest Jump: Need to Know - Doja Cat & My Universe - Coldplay/BTS (+8): Ew. We really don't need Need to Know to be a top 10 hit. The sooner this can reverse, the better. As for My Universe, I'm honestly surprised that it's so high, at #7, and is now BTS' biggest song ever here, and Coldplay's biggest in a while.

I have quite a few new Hit-Bound songs to talk about, but before I get into them, Life Goes On and edamame dropped out of the Countdown and into Hit-Bound and the Abyss, respectively, and Alone returned to Hit-Bound after dropping out of it last week. I'm happy that edamame's still here, but not so much about the other two.

Anyways, our first actual new Hit-Bound song is a collaboration between Masked Wolf and Bebe Rexha, which is an... interesting collaboration, to say the least. This is actually a Masked Wolf remix of a pre-existing Bebe Rexha song called Sabotage, and Masked Wolf's renamed this one It's You, Not Me (Sabotage). This song is pretty much just a Masked Wolf song that uses the Bebe Rexha chorus, but because Sabotage is a ballad, the song creates an effect that's very similar to Eminem and Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie, where the hook is really emotional, then the rapper just adds that much more punch that you never knew you needed. It works extremely well, especially here, where the production has enough of a beat to work with the verses, but also a good piano line that works well with the chorus. Both Masked Wolf and Bebe Rexha sound amazing in their respective parts, and their voices work really well together, surprisingly enough. On top of that, you've got an amazing Bebe bridge which fits amazingly with the song. I definitely didn't expect this song to be that good, but it definitely is, and I'd love to see it be a huge hit.

Next up, we have, as I hinted at earlier, Taylor Swift with the song she's actually pushing to pop radio, Message In A Bottle. This is another "From The Vault" song from her new version of Red, and I'm honestly really surprised that this wasn't on the original album. It's super upbeat and fun, the chorus is extremely catchy, and Taylor sounds great throughout. In addition to that, it's got some great production that definitely wouldn't have been there had it been released in 2012, so there's one upside to this being released now (that, and the fact that it can be pushed on radio). Overall, this is just a really fun song that I'd love to see become a huge hit. It's certainly better than Mr. Perfectly Fine, and if that can hit #1 here, I'm sure this can too.

Wow, I've really had enough of EDM songs that sample four lines of a song and add a beat. But, naturally, we have another one of those songs stumbling its way onto pop radio this week. This song's called Do It To It by ACRAZE and Cherish, and, as you guessed, it's awful. It's extremely repetitive with very underwhelming production. The only thing that I could praise it on would be the vocals, except that ACRAZE made them super choppy. Yeah, this song is terrible, and I really hope it doesn't debut anytime soon.

So, funny story, when I was listening to Hit-Bound last night, the last song and this one played back-to-back without even a little "EAR-poppin' music" thing in between, and I thought they were the same song. When I heard that, I was like "why the hell was there an awful two-minute long intro to an iann dior song?". Then, it jumped straight into the Most Wutchuwanted Song, and I realized that they were two different songs, which makes a lot more sense. Anyways, this next song is, as I said, by iann dior, and it's called let you. It's an extremely fun song, which seems to be a trend with iann's music, and the dance production is super fun. In addition, iann sounds great here, and the chorus is extremely catchy. I'd love for this to become a hit, because iann dior is a great artist and really deserves a second hit after Mood.

Okay, so our next song is, no joke, called SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY. Trust me, the title's a good indication of the song, as in, it's a mess. It's by Amaarae, Kali Uchis (if you remember her from telepatía earlier in the year) and Moliy. Yeah, anyways, this song's really slow and R&B-y, which just isn't my type of song anyways, but all the artists are singing extremely quietly here and the song as a whole is super boring. I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to take this song seriously or not, but judging by the title, I probably shouldn't. Either way, I don't want it to be a hit.

So, we didn't get any new Adele songs from her album 30 on Hit-Bound this week, but my most recent Hitmaker survey asked about two Adele songs, and they're both getting airplay on the channel, so I added them to the Abyss list. The first of the two songs is called Can I Get It, and it's an upbeat, guitar-filled song. This one's pretty fun. The verses evolve nicely, and I like the progression of the beat throughout the song, but I wish that the choruses stayed full energy, because they kind of drop off, and we don't even get one full energy chorus, not even at the end. That part kinda sucks, but Adele can still sell the song well with her voice, so I'm not complaining too much. This is good.

The other Adele song here is called Oh My God. This song's essentially the opposite of Can I Get It, where the verses lack energy, but it picks up a lot in the choruses. I definitely like Can I Get It more, because I think Adele sounds better in that one, and I like the production more. This one's slightly boring, and I'm finding it a little hard to get into it. It's far from bad, though.

We only lost three Hit-Bound songs this week, which is definitely a step up from the last few weeks. Anyways, we say goodbye to The Motto, i hope ur miserable until ur dead and MAMMAMIA this week. The Motto wasn't super memorable, so I don't really care that it's gone. i hope ur miserable definitely deserved to debut, especially considering it's actually somewhat of a pop hit, so I'm pretty sad that it's gone. As for MAMMAMIA, it definitely wasn't fit for pop, so I don't mind that it's gone.

As for Abyss exits, we lost Essence, Cheat Codes' Hurricane and justified. I also removed Wildest Dreams from the list, but that's only because I realized they were treating it like an old song, and it was never gonna debut. All three of these songs were good, but not very memorable, so I don't care that any of them are gone.

Or Am I on the Blurb-side?

We lost four Countdown songs this week, Life Goes On, edamame, Angel Baby and You Right. I'm definitely happy that Life Goes On only spent one week on the Countdown, and I hope it doesn't re-enter. edamame was pretty good, and I'm genuinely surprised that it's already gone. I'm pretty sad that Angel Baby's gone, as it was actually really starting to grow on me. It probably would've switched to blue in the next week or two. Oh well. As for You Right, it was old and never that good, so I'm glad it's gone.

It seems as though STAY is on its last week here, which I'm okay with, because it did very well here.

I'm glad Smokin Out The Window dropped on its second week, because it's just taking up space here.

There were a couple big jumps this week from Let's go to Hell and Happier Than Ever, which is great, because I love them both.

Ghost is all the way up at #6, which is pretty cool. I'd love to see it become a top 5 hit.

Speaking of top 5 hits, Who's In Your Head is now one. I'm okay with that.

Hunh. Maybe Easy On Me won't hit #1. I'm probably speaking too soon, though.
