Week of January 1, 2022 - Ed Sheeran (11)

Hey, all! Happy 2022! It was a pretty boring week, which is to be expected, since it's the first Countdown of the year. In case you still wanted to submit for the rankdown, the deadline has been extended for a few more days, so you still have time for a last-minute submission. No exits this week, so let's jump into it.

Countdown Extra: WYD Now? - Sadie Jean

Biggest Drop: Who's In Your Head - Jonas Brothers (-7): This song's dropped a lot recently, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was its last week here. I'd be fine with it leaving, because it did pretty well here.

Biggest Jump: abcdefu - GAYLE (+14): Ayy, nice! This song's started to grow on me quite a bit, so I'm glad that this jumped into the top 10. I'd love to see this become a huge hit, and I'm pretty sure it will.

Blurbs

Meet Me At Our Spot dropped quite a bit this week, which kinda sucks. It's a pretty great song.

Both GHOST TOWN and Smokin Out The Window got huge boosts this week. For GHOST TOWN, it's starting to fade on me a bit, but I'm still fine with it jumping. As for Smokin Out The Window, I'd really rather not have this here. It's just taking up space at this point.

Moth To A Flame dropped out of the top 10, which sucks. I'd like to see this be a big hit here.

THATS WHAT I WANT is up to #2, which is sadly where it'll probably stay. I honestly don't see Shivers moving out of the #1 spot for a few more weeks.
