Hey guys! So I’m just going to remind you guys quickly that you only have two days left to submit for my rankdown! If you think you need a small extension of time, just let me know right now.

Countdown Extra: Goosebumps (Remix) - Travis Scott/HVME

So JESSIA’s now our newest One to Watch, after iann dior, which feels like a while ago. Anyways, she debuts this week with her new song, I’m not Pretty. This song’s pretty good. It’s very catchy and the production’s pretty cool. She also sounds good here too. The only issue that I have with this song is that the lyrics are a little weird, but not too much and overall, this song is still really good. Yeah, I hope this song does well and doesn’t leave the second it stops being the One to Watch.

So Machine Gun Kelly brings his second song from his album Tickets To My Downfall onto the Countdown this week. It’s called forget me too and it features Halsey. This song’s pretty great. It’s honestly just a whole lot of fun. Personally, I think that my ex’s best friend is better, but that could definitely change. Both Machine Gun Kelly and Halsey sound pretty great here and they sound surprisingly good together. The instrumentation here is also really good and the heavy electric guitar actually fits well in my opinion. Great song; I hope this does well here.

Best Debut: forget me too - Machine Gun Kelly/Halsey

Biggest DROP!!!: What You Know Bout Love - Pop Smoke (-6): Oh, come on. Did it really need to drop from its biggest jump last week? This deserves to be a hit.

Biggest Jump: Lasting Lover - Sigala/James Arthur (+9): Wooh! Top 15 for this song, awesome! I honestly didn’t think that this would be a hit here.

*Skipped Hit-Bound, so this is technically its first time around

Yeah, so there was this Travis Scott song from way back in 2016 called goosebumps that was a pretty big hit. Then, DJ HVME (pronounced Hume) made a remix of that song. Then, Travis Scott decided to make a remix of that remix and that’s what this song is. Goosebumps by Travis Scott and HVME. I’m still not entirely sure what the difference between this song and the version with just HVME is, but whatever. This song is mediocre. Travis’ voice is pitched down weirdly, so that it’s very reminiscent of Ride It by Regard from last year and I really don’t like it. The production’s fine, but it’s nothing too interesting. This doesn’t really need to be a hit.

So there’s this new artist called Alexander 23 and he brings his new song, Cry Over Boys to Hit-Bound this week. This song’s decent. Alexander 23 sounds pretty good here, but the song overall is a little uninteresting. It doesn’t really build at all and the verses don’t have much substance to them. I still wouldn’t mind if this debuted though.

So there’s this song that I’ve known about for a bit now, because it was played on The Pulse for a bit on Pat Monahan of Train’s show. Anyways, it’s called Remember That Night? and it’s by Sara Kays. This song’s only slightly more interesting than Cry Over Boys because the chorus has a little more substance to it and it’s written pretty well. But this song can get kind of boring too.

So this is a bit of a weird situation. So we’ve known for a while that Taylor Swift was going to start re-recording all of her old albums due to ownership issues, but now she’s released the first song from her re-recorded version of Fearless, which is going to come out on April 9th. But what I didn’t realize is that she’s actually gonna be sending some of the re-recorded songs to radio. So now we have a new version of Love Story on Hit-Bound and it sounds pretty much exactly like the original. Which was totally the point and I’m quite surprised that she could get it to sound so similar, but it makes for a weird radio situation. It’s over whether this would be classified as a debut or a re-entry. I’m classifying it as a debut, because even if I classified it as a re-entry, I wouldn’t have the data to know how many weeks it’s spent on the Countdown or its peak. So I’m just classifying it as a debut. Anyways, onto the actual song. This is easily one of the best Taylor Swift songs. It’s got a cool storyline, she sounds great here (even better on the new version, because her voice has matured) and it’s quite catchy. The best part is the key change though. I’m really happy that this is here and I hope that it debuts the Countdown soon.

So You Want Me to Forget Blurbs? Okay, Forget Blurbs Too

We lost two songs off of the Countdown this week, Deep End and Overwhelmed. I’m super glad that Deep End only spent a week on the Countdown. It was terrible and didn’t deserve to debut. As for Overwhelmed, it wasn’t that great and I don’t care that it’s gone.

Our Hit-Bound exits were Lotus Inn and Goodbye. I really don’t care that much that Lotus Inn is gone and did Goodbye really only spend one week on the Countdown? Seriously? We’ve already had two one-weekers and we're literally only on the second week of February.

Go Crazy dropped from its jump last week. Does this seriously have to flop? I mean, come on.

Ayyyy My Head & My Heart making huge gains, we love to see it.

Diamonds can leave aaaany time now.

Yeah, so for some reason, Afterglow decided to drop. I really hope it doesn’t keep dropping.

So yeah, The Weeknd did his Super Bowl performance last week and it was really good. He really used the entire stadium, which was awesome and a lot of the visuals were honestly really cool. Especially when he had all of those dancers out on the field when he was doing Blinding Lights. He did pretty much all of his big hits and he sounded great in all of them. Overall, it was just a really fantastic performance. Definitely better than last year’s (J-Lo and Shakira).

Yeah, so Treat People With Kindness is in the top 10 now. I guess it’s only a matter of time before this hits #1… that’s fine, just as long as it doesn’t stick around for too long.

Speaking of Harry Styles, Golden is back up to #2 this week. I really hope that this doesn’t hit #1 again.

Countdown Extra: Best Friend - Saweetie/Doja Cat

Okay, how did THIS become Tones And I’s second song on the Countdown? Fly Away is easily the worst of her four songs that she’s had on here. Not that it’s bad or anything, she sounds fine, the whole song is just ridiculously boring. I find it hard to listen to because it’s just extremely substanceless. It’s not like the production’s that interesting and the melody doesn’t really grab me either. I highly doubt that this’ll do too well on here and I hope that it doesn’t because it’s really just filling up space on the Countdown right now.

Clinton Kane scores his first song on the Countdown this week with Fix It to Break It. I quite like this song. Not too much, it’s my least favourite song in the “Great” tier, but I still really like it nonetheless. Clinton Kane sounds pretty great here and I really like the melody, especially in the chorus. The production’s not too interesting, but it’s enough to hold up the song. I hope this song does pretty well here.

Well… I have a new least favourite song on the Countdown now I guess. Deep End by Fousheé debuts this week… why? Who actually said that they liked this song in the surveys? I can’t see any appeal in this song whatsoever. Fousheé sounds terrible here and it’s not like the song’s interesting either. I really hate this song and I have no clue why it debuted the Weekend Countdown.

Hunh. Yup, I definitely expected SO DONE to debut before WITHOUT YOU, but here we are as The Kid LAROI gets his first song on the Countdown. There’s one down side to this song debuting the Countdown, because I would’ve made my best song on the Countdown My Head & My Heart, but this is better in my opinion. I think The Kid LAROI actually sounds quite good here and I really like the melody here. I think the chorus is actually pretty good here. Aside from the obvious line that’s not great, this is a pretty great song.

Overwhelmed re-entered the Countdown this week. I can’t possibly see this sticking around for much longer.

Best Debut: WITHOUT YOU - The Kid LAROI

Biggest DROP!!!: positions - Ariana Grande (-7): Aw man. It really sucks that this didn’t even really get a chance to stick around in the top 5.

Biggest Jump: Go Crazy - Chris Brown/Young Thug & What You Know Bout Love - Pop Smoke (+8): Wow, I’m really glad that both of these songs made decent sized jumps and I’d love to see them keep jumping.

*It skipped Hit-Bound, so this is technically its first time around.

So yeah, you guys know that I don’t really like Saweetie, I made that pretty clear when Tap In was in Hit-Bound back last year. Now, she’s back with Best Friend featuring Doja Cat. This could very possibly grow on me. The main reason is because I think Doja Cat does really great here. I think if it was just Doja Cat, I would definitely like this song. Saweetie just doesn’t really sound that good and I find her voice really quite annoying. But yeah, Doja’s great here.

Skin dropped out of the Countdown and entered Hit-Bound this week. I don’t care that much and it’ll probably re-enter anyways.

So Mike Posner brings his first song on Hits 1 since I Took A Pill In Ibiza all the way back in 2016. Anyways, this song’s called Momma Always Told Me and it features Stanaj and Yung Bae, who don’t have any presence on here whatsoever, but whatever. I don’t really know who they are anyways, so I’m fine with it just being a Mike Posner song. This song’s pretty groovy. It’s nothing too special, but it’s definitely enjoyable and I’d like to see it become a hit.

So next up is a blackbear song that was released on Christmas Day 2020. It’s called cheers featuring Wiz Khalifa. This is a fun little song. I think blackbear sounds pretty good here and I like the hook here, it’s pretty catchy. I like the production, even though it’s pretty minimalistic. It’s not my favourite blackbear song and Wiz Khalifa’s verse is pretty unnecessary, but this song’s really fun and I enjoy it.

So next up is a song that I’ve actually known about for a while now. I actually first heard it the day it came out. It’s I’m not Pretty by JESSIA. I have a bit of a complicated relationship with this song. If I was just talking about the production and melody, this would be great. But the lyrics are just kind of odd and it’s really hard to take her seriously, especially when she’s talking about a pretty serious topic. Yeah, I don’t know. It’s also quite short.

Tate McRae has another song this week, called rubberband. This song’s alright. It’s not really memorable at all, you broke me first is definitely more memorable and this song’s very similar in a lot of ways. She sounds pretty much the same, the production sounds pretty much the same and really the only difference is that the chorus doesn’t really sound the same, but yeah, this is pretty much just a carbon copy of you broke me first.

Blurbed Here Without Youuuuuuuuu

As far as the exits go, they were all pretty old, so I’m not disappointed to see any of them go. Wonder and Take You Dancing were just good and I’m satisfied with the amount of success that they both got. I think Holy could’ve done better (for some reason, Hits 1 has something against Justin Bieber) and I think Save Myself stuck around for a bit too long.

As for Hit-Bound exits, the only one was Space Girl. I’m honestly not that sad that it’s gone and it was never gonna debut anyways. That “SUCKED INTO A BLACK HOLE” part was pretty good though.

#30-#24 are all songs that have spent either one or two weeks on the Countdown. Heehee, I love it when little things like that happen.

Really? My Head & My Heart didn’t jump? Whatever, I’m pretty sure that this will be a huge hit anyways.

Anyone made a decent-sized jump. I’d like to see it be a hit, but as I said before, Hits 1 has something against Justin Bieber.

Okay, I’ll admit that Lonely shouldn’t be jumping though, it’s not great.

Diamonds is finally starting to see its way out. I’ve gotten pretty tired of this song, so I’m definitely not disappointed.

Treat People With Kindness jumped into the top 15 this week. I’m definitely not surprised, but honestly, I’m not sad either.

Super Bowl performer The Weeknd’s song Save Your Tears made a really good-sized jump up to #12. I’d love to see this hit the top 10 and I’m really excited for his performance (and for Blinding Lights to go back to #1 on the Hot 100 the week after… maybe… drivers license and Up by Cardi B could both beat it. It’s gonna be exciting nonetheless. Also, yeah, I’m gonna catch up on my Hot 100 posts soon).

34+35 also made a seven-spot jump up into the top 10. Sure, why not?

Yay Golden dropped out of the top 5! Wooh!

drivers license is up at #3. Honestly, I could probably see this hitting #1 in the coming weeks and I definitely wouldn’t be disappointed because it really grew on me.

my ex’s best friend is up at #2 though, so that might block it. I’d like for it to hit #1, but I don’t really want it to block drivers license.

Levitating holds at #1 this week, which is great. I’m really happy that it’s finally doing well here.

Countdown Extra: forget me too - Machine Gun Kelly/Halsey

So Jason Derulo brings us yet another single this week, called Lifestyle featuring Adam Levine. This song’s fine. It’s not all too memorable and I don’t think it’s going to be too huge of a hit, but it’s still enjoyable. Both Jason Derulo and Adam Levine sound good here and they actually sound kind of similar. They definitely blend well together though. The chorus is pretty fun and the production’s decent too. Overall, it’s good, but it’s forgettable.

So after just a couple of weeks in Hit-Bound, Heat Waves by Glass Animals makes its debut on the Weekend Countdown this week at #29. I’ve been enjoying this song more and more with every listen. Mostly just because of the chorus. It’s really catchy and the guy singing sounds pretty good there. He doesn’t sound great in the verses and the verses as a whole are pretty forgettable, but that chorus is just fantastic.

Another song that I’ve been really growing into lately is My Head & My Heart by Ava Max, which also makes its debut this week. This song is a bop. I’d say that it’s one of the best singles from Heaven & Hell, although all of the singles from it are great. Ava sounds great here though and the production throughout the song is really great. Even though the verses are the exact same melody as a song by A Touch of Class, it doesn’t really bother me that much. This is a fantastic song and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a huge hit.

What You Know Bout Love decided to re-enter after it left last week. I’m definitely happy that it’s back and I hope it stays around for a bit longer.

So Sabrina Carpenter brings her first song to Hits 1 since Sue Me in 2019. Before that she brought us Almost Love in 2018 and both of those songs were pretty forgettable. I’m not entirely sure if this song is just going to fade or not, but for now, it’s pretty enjoyable. I think it takes a solid minute and a half to pick up, but once it does, it’s good. Sabrina Carpenter sounds great here and I really like the chorus.

So Joshua Bassett’s song Lie Lie Lie debuts this week. While I don’t like this as much as I did when it was first released a few weeks ago, I definitely still like it. I think Joshua Bassett sounds quite good here and the song itself is extremely catchy, especially in the chorus. Not much else to say here, this is just a really enjoyable song and I hope it’s a hit.

Best Debut: My Head & My Heart - Ava Max

Biggest DROP!!!: Wonder - Shawn Mendes & Take You Dancing - Jason Derulo (-6): Not too disappointed by either of these songs dropping, as I feel like both of them have had their run.

Biggest Jump: drivers license - Olivia Rodrigo (+14): This song jumps all the way to #6 this week, which is just absolutely insane, but I’m definitely glad and I’d love for it to be in the top 5 soon. I’m really glad that this has blown up as much as it has, it definitely deserves it.

Girls Like Us - Zoe Wees [2]

So Why Don’t We bring us another song from their new album, The Good Times and The Bad Ones. This song’s called Lotus Inn and it’s decent. There’s not too much that’s memorable in the song and I don’t think the guys sound too great in the chorus, but the verses are still enjoyable and the production’s pretty good. I wish this was a bit more like Fallin’, but when it really comes down to it, I’m glad that this is here.

Yeah, so when Machine Gun Kelly released his album, Tickets To My Downfall, it was only a matter of time before Hits 1 picked up this one. It’s forget me too featuring Halsey (I’m pretty sure why you can figure out why Hits 1 picked this up). It was a while back, but I’ve actually reviewed this on my Hot 100 posts before. I really like this song. I don’t think it’s as good as my ex’s best friend, but both MGK and Halsey sound pretty good here and I like the production. This could very possibly fade on me, but we’ll see.

So I would have already reviewed this next song on my Hot 100 posts before had I not been really behind on those posts. Don’t worry, I’ll get to it. Anyways, this next song is Good Days by SZA. I’ve never been too much of a fan of R&B and this isn’t too much of an exception. I think SZA sounds really good here and the production’s okay, but this is just way too boring for me to really enjoy.

Goodbye left the Countdown after only one week and re-entered Hit-Bound… this really didn’t need to happen. It should’ve stayed for at least a few more weeks.

So we have some more Zara Larsson next. This song is called Talk About Love and it has a verse that Hits 1 would’ve edited out a year ago by Young Thug. This song’s good. I’ve always enjoyed Zara Larsson, with WOW being pretty much the only exception. I think she has a really good voice and she’s pretty underrated. The chorus here is great. The only problem with this is Young Thug. He really doesn’t sound that great here and I would definitely prefer this if he was edited out. That being said, he doesn’t really make the song bad, just less good than it would’ve been without him.

Sometimes All I Think About Is Blurbs

We lost a total of six songs from the Countdown this week, and just five that I haven’t already talked about. Holding On, Monster, Laugh Now Cry Later, Bang! and HOLIDAY. I’m not too disappointed that Holding On and Laugh Now Cry Later are gone, as they were good, but not good enough to stick around for too long. As for Monster, Bang! and HOLIDAY? I’m sad about all of them. The first and last one should’ve been better bigger hits and I’m really happy with the amount of success that Bang! got, but I’m still sad that it’s gone.

One Whole Day left Hit-Bound this week. I never really expected it to debut, but I’m still kind of sad that it’s gone.

Both Put Your Records On and Treat People With Kindness jumped into the top 20 this week. I’m definitely more happy about the latter than I am about the former.

my ex’s best friend is finally in the top 5. This took way too long.

Speaking of things that took way too long, they FINALLY gave Dua Lipa the #1 spot!!! Levitating is now #1 and I’m SO HAPPY that it’s there, mostly just because it gives Dua Lipa and DaBaby their first #1s. I really hope that this stays for a few more weeks.
