Callout Scores: September 2020 - DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (1)

Yeah, I think I'm gonna bring this back, but just as a monthly thing. I'll keep mostly the same rules, of course starting with everything for this month, but basically, here's the songs that will be on the survey each month.

1. Any song that was in the top 15 on the Weekend Countdown throughout that month.

2. Any song that debuted either Hit-Bound or the Countdown throughout that month.

3. The top 5 on Callout Scores from the past month (If they were played on either show in the current month, if not it will move to the #6 song)

If you want a better explanation of what this is, check out Nick's post, because he explains it better than I ever could.

So yeah, here's part 1 for September, and here's part 2.

Hope you guys all do it!

Last Year's #1: Old Town Road (Remix) - Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus [17/19 weeks at #1]

We had a few re-entries this week, because of the Juice WRLD album bomb leaving: Sunday Best, Chasin' You, The Bigger Picture, The Woo, death bed and Bluebird. I'm happy Sunday Best, The Bigger Picture and The Woo are back, but sad that death bed and Bluebird are back.

Before I get into some DJ Khaled and Drake, we have a debut at #35, Die From A Broken Heart by Maddie & Tae. This has been pretty high in On the Verge recently, and if the album bombs didn't happen, it probably would've debuted a couple weeks ago. But anyways, this song isn't that good. Maddie and Tae's voices are fine and everything, and the writing's good, but it's a country ballad. Those never go very well. It's very boring, and there's not even close to enough production on it. I hope this song doesn't do that well. Country songs never do though, so I'm not too scared.

Our next debut, at #8, is the song from DJ Khaled and Drake that I didn't review for my Hits 1 post last week. GREECE is definitely better than POPSTAR. The production isn't as interesting, and the melody isn't as interesting either, but Drake sounds somewhat charismatic, which is already much better. I'm not sure if this is pitched weirdly or if he's just singing a little high, but his voice has this weird effect, and I'm not sure if I like it that much. But whatever, he at least sounds like he's interested in the song, so I'm not sad.

I reviewed POPSTAR by DJ Khaled and Drake last week, but I doubt it's gonna debut the Weekend Countdown soon, so I probably won't have to review it for a while after this. I still stand by everything I said before, but I think it's grown on me a little bit, because I realized the melody is actually really good, but Drake just delivers it terribly, with no charisma in his voice whatsoever. I also realized that his voice sounds super compressed. Don't ask me why.

Best Debut: GREECE - DJ Khaled/Drake

Biggest Drop: Conversations - Juice WRLD (-31): Yeah, this was definitely expected. I'm not disappointed whatsoever that the biggest drop is a Juice WRLD song.

Biggest Jump: Go Crazy - Chris Brown/Young Thug (+19): Um... wow. I really didn't expect this song to jump all the way up to #10, but I'm definitely happy, because I've been jamming to this a lot lately.

A few songs that left this week made it back to On the Verge. Life's A Mess, Blood On My Jeans and Righteous. I expect all of these to leave next week.

A few songs also came back to On the Verge after being below it last week: Girls in the Hood, Supalonely, Walk Em Down, If the World Was Ending, Got What I Got, I Love My Country and Got It On Me. I'm glad Girls in the Hood, Walk Em Down and Got It On Me are back, but it sucks that Supalonely and Got What I Got are back. I mean, seriously. Do they need to be hits?

For the actual new songs this week, we're kicking it off with Said Sum by Moneybagg Yo. I don't like this song. I don't really love Moneybagg Yo's voice, and his flow is alright, but everything about it feels like a generic rap song. I don't like the weird backup vocals throughout the song, they feel really weird, especially when you're wearing earbuds, because they only appear in one at a time. The production isn't that interesting either. This isn't horrible, but it's not good.

LOCASH come up next, with their new song, One Big Country Song. This isn't the worst country song ever, if I'm being honest. I don't like their voices all that much, but I think the melody and everything are just way too fun to hate. Not much else to say here.

Momma Can You Die From a Broken Bluuuuuuurb?

We lost a bunch of songs from the Top 40 this week: Tell Me U Luv Me, Fighting Demons, Stay High, The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady, Bad Energy, Righteous, Titanic, Blood On My Jeans and Life's A Mess. I expected nothing more of all the Juice WRLD songs, but I hoped The Adventures would've stayed longer. Oh, well.

We also lost a few On the Verge songs this week: Up Up And Away, Screw Juice, I Want It, Can't Die and Man Of The Year. All of which are Juice WRLD songs.

The Box held on for a little longer. Hopefully, it doesn't leave too soon.

Life Is Good also made a huge comeback. Not happy, not sad either.

Why is Before You Go gaining momentuuuuuuuuuuuuuum? I really don't want this to stay on Hits 1 for much longer.

Both Break My Heart and I Hope are back up at their current peaks. I hope that they keep jumping.

Rain On Me made a huge comeback this week. Hopefully it can come back to the top 10 very soon.

Savage Love is at #12!!! I have a good feeling that this'll be a huge hit.

Come & Go is still in the top 10. I'm super surprised that it didn't drop more after the album lost most of its momentum. But very happy.

Taylor Swift will album bomb next week. See where cardigan lands, and where the rest of the tracks land on my post next week. Will ROCKSTAR hold on for an eighth week, or will WHATS POPPIN overtake it? Kwaheri, everybody. See you all soon.

Hot 100 Top 40: Week of July 25, 2020 - DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (6)

DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (6)

We got two posthumous album bombs from rappers in a row. Of course, last week's album bomb was from Pop Smoke, and this week's album bomb is from Juice WRLD, and all of the songs from Legends Never Die, (except for the intro, outro and interludes) show up in this post. Surprisingly, Juice didn't get the #1, and instead, it went to ROCKSTAR again. There were a couple songs that still managed to jump despite the album bomb, one of which is good, and one of which is bad. So enjoy the ridiculous amount of exits (13, to be exact)!

Last Year's #1: Old Town Road (Remix) - Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus [16/19 weeks at #1]

Let's get into some Juice WRLD this week! This first song was actually released prior to the album, except it debut the Hot 100 just one spot shy of the Top 40, so this is technically a debut. I'm talking about Tell Me U Luv Me with Trippie Redd. Probably my favourite part of this song is the beat. It's kind of rushed, but I like it. It gives a good speed to the song. The chorus is pretty good, and honestly, I think Trippie works better with the chorus than Juice. But Juice still sounds really solid here. His verse is pretty great, and Trippie Redd's verse is also really good. He comes with a great flow, and delivers honestly just a spectacular verse. This is good for sure.

This next song is called Fighting Demons. The piano in this song is nice, and it serves as a good indicator of what the album sounds like, as a lot of it is kind of slow. I love the chorus here, and the "take my hand/don't give up" part is really good. The lyrics are really well-written, and Juice did a very good job here. This is one of my favourites.

I really wanna like this next track, Stay High, but I can't, mostly for one reason. I'm not quite sure what's going on here. The chorus sounds like the pitch was messed with, making it just sound awkward. But I like the melody of the chorus, but I can't get behind it, because Juice just sounds so bad. The verses are alright, but they also sound kind of pitch-shifted. Also, I'd just like to note, in the clean versions of these songs, they do a weird reverse thing for what they have to censor, and it affects the beat, and it's pretty weird.

Before we get into more Juice WRLD, we actually get a break! Kid Cudi comes up with his newest single, The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady with (you probably guessed it) Eminem. This song is pretty good. Cudi sounds much better here than he did in THE SCOTTS, because he isn't doing that weird jaw thing that you could hear in THE SCOTTS, and I actually quite like his voice, and he delivers a nice verse. Then Eminem comes in, and it's just classic Eminem, which is to say fantastic. He starts kind of slowly, but it picks up a little. Good song.

Going back into Juice WRLD, in the top 20, we have Bad Energy. This song isn't too special, but it's still very solid. Juice sounds good, and the production's alright, but my favourite part about this song is the chorus. It's got a lot of harmonies, and it's a little slower, and I like it a lot. But yeah, other than that, I don't have much else to say about this.

So this next song was actually the first single from Legends Never Die, called Righteous. This is easily one of my favourites from the album. Juice sounds really good in the chorus, and it's pretty catchy too. The production's kind of chill, and I like it a lot. I'm a little sad that this didn't do that well while it was a single, because it's really good.

The next Juice WRLD song is called Titanic. This one's just meh. I don't really like the chorus all that much, and I really don't like when he says "TItanic, TIIItanic". The pre-chorus is easily the best part of this song, and I like the writing there. But yeah, I still can't hate this, and I don't, because it's Juice WRLD, and I love his voice.

This next Juice song is almost unlistenable with the clean version, because of the weird reverse thing that I talked about earlier. But anyways, Blood On My Jeans song start with a guitar, which is a very nice change. But then, the beat comes in, and it's honestly just a bad trap beat. I don't really like the backup vocal things (like him saying "yeah" and stuff like that), and his voice definitely isn't the best it's ever been. So yeah, this is also just mediocre.

We're getting into the Juice WRLD songs that hit the top 10 now, starting off with Hate The Other Side with Marshmello, The Kid LAROI and Polo G. This song is just a chorus by Juice with verses from LAROI and Polo G. But yeah, this is still extremely solid. The chorus is fantastic, with Juice sounding pretty great, and it also being pretty catchy. Polo's verse is really good, and he has pretty great flow. LAROI's verse is... interesting, to say the least, but it doesn't really bring the song down that much, I just don't really like his voice. But Marshmello's production is really good, and honestly just brings this entire song together. Good song.

So, this next song was released as a promotional single, so actually debuted the Hot 100 last week. It's Life's A Mess by Juice and Halsey. This is pretty good. I think both artists have had much better, but the chorus and production are still really good. It's a little slow, which I don't love, but it's fine. Juice's verses are great, and Halsey's verse is also pretty good, although I wished she had a bit more of a presence in the song, rather than just appearing in the second chorus and giving a verse, but whatever. Still good.

The highest non-single comes up next, called Conversations. This is only alright, which is a shame, because I feel like Hate The Other Side or Life's A Mess could've taken this top 5 spot. Whatever, this isn't bad, it's just a little uninteresting, and there's not much to talk about. The production's kind of cool, but the melody here is just kind of boring. Next.

So these next two songs, I actually reviewed last week on my Hits 1 post, since both of them were picked up by Hits 1. The first one is called Wishing Well. This is actually a really good song, which I've learned by listening to the rest of the album, I was just comparing it to Come & Go earlier. The piano line is fantastic, and the chorus is actually quite catchy, but the best part is the pre-chorus, since the melody and the guitar just fit so well together. This hasn't actually been released as a single yet, but it will be in a couple weeks. So I hope it does well on the Countdown and here.

I'm probably gonna end up talking about this tomorrow, because it's definitely gonna debut the Weekend Countdown. So I'll keep this short. Come & Go is nothing short of a masterpiece. Marshmello's production is absolutely on point, Juice sounds really really good, and the song is incredibly catchy. Fantastic song, I could definitely see it hitting #1 on the Hot 100 in the next coming weeks.

Best Entrant: Come & Go - Juice WRLD/Marshmello

Biggest Drop: For The Night - Pop Smoke/Lil Baby/DaBaby (-26): Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm surprised. I honestly don't care that much, I liked The Woo much better anyways.

Biggest Jump: Party Girl - StaySolidRocky (+11): Does this really have to become a hit? I'd much rather prefer if it didn't. Rocky's voice isn't good, and the song as a whole is just really bad.

Before we start more Juice WRLD, there are some songs that left the Top 40, but stayed in On the Verge. death bed, The Bigger Picture, Bluebird, Sunday Best, The Woo, Chasin' You and Toosie Slide. I'm happy death bed and Bluebird left, although they'll probably be back next week, when everything's normal. I'm sad Sunday Best and The Woo are gone, but again, they'll probably be back next week, and everything else, I don't really care about.

Our first On the Verge Juice WRLD song is titled Up Up And Away. I really like the production in this song. It's nice and chill, and it's actually quite calming. I mean, even the beat is quite calming. Juice's voice is a little jumpy, which is probably what stops it from being one of my favourites (and I use that word loosely), but this is still a very very good song.

The next one is called Screw Juice. This is okay. I can tell why this and the next one didn't make the Top 40. Both of them are kind of uninteresting, and Juice's voice in this song has a weird vocal effect on it, and I don't really like the sound of it. The verses and chorus are alright, but it doesn't redeem this that well.

The next mediocre song is called I Want It. This is probably the most forgettable of song from this album. Like seriously, I can never remember what it sounds like, but I can always get a pretty good idea of what the others sound like at this point. Yeah, this is just boring and forgettable. Next.

This next song is probably the best writing on the whole album. I'm talking about Can't Die, and you should look up the lyrics. The verses are only okay, but the chorus and the lyrics more than make up for it. Yeah. Solid song.

So the lowest song from Legends Never Die is here, and it's called Man Of The Year, and it's not that good. He's singing in a range that's honestly not that great with his voice. Either that, or his voice was just pitched weirdly. Yeah, I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. The production's pretty good though, but I can't appreciate it because of his voice.

The very last song this week isn't actually by Juice WRLD. It's Rags2Riches by Rod Wave and ATR Son Son. This song is honestly pretty good. The beat is pretty solid, and ATR Son Son does pretty well on the production. Rod Wave actually sounds pretty good here, and the chorus is honestly pretty great, even though it's just one phrase repeated over and over again. My only problem with this is that this song is pretty short.

This Type of Blurbs Don't Always Come and Go

There are a few songs that left that didn't make it back to On the Verge: High Fashion, 44 BullDog, Gangstas, Aim For The Moon, Got It On Me and Dior. I expected this from all of the Pop Smoke songs, but High Fashion NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's legit one of my favourite songs now, although I do realize that it's kind of old. Ah, well. Good things must come to an end.

We lost a few On the Verge songs too: Something Special, Yea Yea, Mood Swings, Stuck with U, Supalonely, Walk Em Down, Make It Rain, Be Kind, Girls in the Hood, What You Know Bout Love, THE SCOTTS, Snitching and Bad B**** From Tokyo. Again, I expected this from all the Pop Smoke songs, but I'm sad that Walk Em Down, Be Kind and THE SCOTTS left. I'm happy that Supalonely left though.

The Box dropped down to #40... it's been real.

Hard To Forget and The Bones also took huge drops, which sucks, because those are actually country songs that I like.

Why the heck did Rain On Me drop 12 spots? I mean, come on! Why can't this just be a hit?

Don't Start Now and We Paid also dropped 12 spots. I'm happy that both of them dropped, but for Don't Start Now, mostly just because it was old.

So somehow, despite the album bomb, Savage Love still managed to jump up 10 spots into the top 20. This bodes extremely well for how this song is gonna do.

ROCKSTAR somehow still holds at #1. I would've prefered Come & Go at #1, but I still really like ROCKSTAR too.

Next week will be a normal week before we get a Taylor Swift album bomb, so be excited for that. Kwaheri, and see you all soon.

Hot 100 Top 40: Week of July 18, 2020 - DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (5)

DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (5)

...so Pop Smoke's label released a posthumous album from him, called Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon. Most of the songs charted on the Top 40 and On the Verge, so consider this my... almost-album review of it. Other than that, I changed some stuff. Instead of having all the stats be relative to the Hot 100, I made it relative to the Top 40. So for example, instead of writing T40 DEBUT, or H100 DEBUT, I just write DEBUT, and the amount of weeks now are only relative to the top 40. With that being said, here are the seven exits.

My opinion on Pop Smoke's album? I quite liked it. Honestly, I would probably listen to it again. The lowest song in the Top 40 is 44Bulldog. This is definitely not one of my favourites. I like Pop Smoke's voice, which you'll see repeatedly through this post, but I think the production's a bit lazy, and I don't love the "brrrrrr" stuff happening in the background. The song doesn't really have a catchy hook, but I still like Pop's voice, so it goes in blue.

The next one is Gangstas. This one's better than 44Bulldog. Mostly because it has an actual hook that you can follow, and I actually quite like it. Pop sounds great, and he has pretty great flow in this song. The production's a little more interesting, but still not too interesting. Overall, it's good, but not great.

The next song is Aim For The Moon featuring Quavo. This song is pretty good. Pop raps a bit higher, and sounds pretty good. Both Pop and Quavo actually sound decent in the chorus. This is one of the best Quavo parts in any song. Not the best, which you'll actually see later in this post, but surprisingly really good compared to some other stuff he's done, like in Strip That Down or Intentions.

The next song is another solo Pop Smoke song, Got It On Me. This is easily one of the best songs from the album, and there are multiple parts that hit really hard and give you chills. The chorus is spectacular, and the lyrics are probably the best part. It's a little sad, considering what happened, and they really make that hit hard with the sirens, then the trackless last chorus. Honestly, you should listen to it. It's pretty good.

Next up is a Pop Smoke song that's actually been on the Hot 100 for a while, but it only spent a week in the Top 40 when it debuted, and then now. It's called Dior, and it's very good. The production is fantastic, with the higher parts sounding really good, and Pop Smoke sounds really good with the production. I don't love the talking, but I can easily overlook that, because the rest of the song is really good.

The next song is my favourite from the album. Take one wild guess why. It's The Woo with 50 Cent and Roddy Ricch. If you guessed Roddy Ricch, you'd be right. If you guessed anything else, I don't even know why you read this blog. Anyways, the rest of the song is actually really good too though. The production is fantastic, and it's got some latino guitar that actually fits really well with the song. 50 Cent sounds a lot like the guys that did Don't Rush, and I really like his accent, and he delivers his verse really well. The chorus is great, and Pop Smoke sounds good in his verse too, and there's actually two key changes. One when he starts his verse, and then one later in the last chorus. I think the key change down actually amplifies the one up. But fun fact, all the choruses are sung in the same key. That's why they did a key change down.

Our last Pop Smoke song debuts at #6, and it's called For The Night with Lil Baby and DaBaby. I'm not sure why the two Babys like working together so much, because I actually really like DaBaby, but I don't like Lil Baby, so it really just brings down DaBaby's stuff. Pop Smoke sounds really good in his chorus and verse, Lil Baby doesn't sound good in his verse, and DaBaby sounds fantastic in his verse. I actually really like the production and stuff, but Lil Baby brings down this song a lot.

Best Entrant: The Woo - Pop Smoke/50 Cent/Roddy Ricch

Biggest Drop:Toosie Slide - Drake (-12): I find this song to be only mediocre/decent, so I honestly don't care that it's gone, and in my opinion, it didn't really deserve that week at #1.

Biggest Jump: One Margarita - Luke Bryan & Break My Heart - Dua Lipa (+3): I'm glad to see Break My Heart jumping a lot, maybe it could get to the top 10, but I can't possibly see One Margarita jumping any higher, but you never know with country music.

Bad B**** From Tokyo (Intro) - Pop Smoke (DEBUT)

Before we get into more Pop Smoke, I'm gonna go through the exits from the Top 40 of this week that re-entered On the Verge. We have: Stuck with U, Emotionally Scarred, Walk Em Down, Be Kind, Girls in the Hood and THE SCOTTS. I'm sad all of these songs left the Top 40 (except for Emotionally Scarred), but I'm especially sad about Walk Em Down and Be Kind, since both are great.

Anyways, back to Pop Smoke I guess. The highest-charting On the Verge Pop Smoke song is Something Special. I really like the "shopping spree" thing, and the beat is pretty great. The track kind of sounds like elevator music, but I kind of like it. Pop sounds great with that, and the chorus is good. He also has some pretty great flow in the verses, probably one of the best deliveries he's given in this album. Good song.

The next Pop Smoke songs is called Yea Yea. This is also good (I mean, if I'm being honest, I've liked pretty much every song so far). I think he's rapping a bit too high for his range in the verses, but that's really my only issue with it. Other than that, it's definitely solid. The hook is good with the echo thing happening, and overall it's a good song.

Next up is Mood Swings with Lil Tjay. Both Pop Smoke and Lil Tjay sound really good here. I actually really like Tjay's verse. The lyrics aren't great, but the chorus is pretty good, and Pop sounds good in the verses. The production's not really much to write home about, but it's definitely solid. But yeah, as I said before, Lil Tjay is probably the best part of this song. He delivers his verse really well, and I actually like his voice, except that it's a bit nasally. But his part is really good.

Make It Rain with Rowdy Rebel re-enters next. I already talked about this, but yeah, I still like it. The telephone stuff is pretty cool, and I honestly kind of like how he raps through the phone. The production's good, which I think is by Rowdy Rebel. Good song, glad it's back even if it's only for a week.

The third-last song comes next. What You Know Bout Love. This song takes a little while to start, but when it does, the production's really good. Pop's voice is good, as always, and his flow is good. Not much else to talk about.

This next one is my second-favourite of the album, after The Woo. It's Snitching with Quavo and Future. Man, I can't believe I'm saying this, but my favourite part of the song is Quavo. He comes in with literally the best he's ever sounded, delivering a fantastic intro, then also sounding really really good in the chorus. I don't even know how, but he actually managed to make me like him in a song. Pop Smoke also sounds really good. Future isn't great, which kind of brings the song down a bit, but whatever. Quavo brings this one home.

And finally, we have the forty-second long intro to the album, Bad B**** From Tokyo. This feels unnecessary to be On the Verge, but whatever. It's still Pop Smoke, but since it's so short, it's only decent.

She Wanna Blurb with the Woooooooooo

So there's actually only one song that left the Top 40 and didn't re-enter On the Verge, and that's How You Like That by BLACKPINK, and it's a shame, because I just started to like it.

As for On the Verge songs that left because of Pop Smoke, we have Memories, Nobody But You, hot girl bummer, Here And Now, I Love My Country, Wash Us In The Blood, If the World Was Ending, Like That, Got What I Got, Does To Me, TROLLZ and GOOBA. I'm sad about Like That and hot girl bummer, but happy about Memories, Got What I Got, TROLLZ and GOOBA.

High Fashion somehow survived Pop Smoke. Don't ask me how, but I'm definitely happy.

Party Girl and death bed dropped quite a bit this week. If these could keep dropping, that would be great.

Savage Love and Go Crazy still managed to jump! That's a fantastic sign for both of these songs.

The Box left the top 20. It's been a wild ride, and I liked it while it was here.

Happily, We Paid left the top 10. I hope it keeps dropping.

So somehow, Blinding Lights is back up at #2. I like the song, but even I think that this is unnecessary.

Okay, that is all. Stay tuned next week for Juice WRLD's Legends Never Die album bomb, where I'm certain he'll get almost all of his songs in that post, and maybe even a #1. Kwaheri, see you all soon.

DaBaby/Roddy Ricch (4)

The #1 this week is still awesome, and we had a fantastic debut, with exits that I'm very happy about. We got a surprising but welcome #2, and a rather unwelcome #10. As for On the Verge... that's another story.

Last Year's #1: Old Town Road (Remix) - Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus [14/19 weeks at #1]

Our lowest entrant this year is a re-entry from Be Kind, which left last week, and I'm definitely happy that it's back. Hopefully, it can stick around for a while more.

Next up is a Hot 100 debut, How You Like That by BLACKPINK. Although this is k-pop, it's not terrible. The verses are actually quite good, and the production's really good. I don't love the weird production in the chorus though. The rapping in the second verse is alright, although definitely not as good as the first verse. But yeah, overall, this is solid.

I reviewed this song last week, and now I know the backstory behind it. So basically, there was an instrumental loop called Laxed - Siren Beat, by Jawsh 685, and it became a trend on TikTok. Then Jason Derulo made lyrics to it on his TikTok account, and people told him he should record it, so he did, and called it Savage Love, and here it is, in the top 40 on the Hot 100. The production is fantastic, and Jason Derulo sounds incredible. Especially in the verses. It's also incredibly catchy, and I seriously can't get enough of this song, so much so that it even bests ROCKSTAR. Fantastic song. I love this so much.

After the success of Savage, Megan Thee Stallion made another single, called Girls in the Hood, and it's making its debut here, and I quite like it. I really liked Savage, and this is definitely not a step down. Megan has great flow, and of course, the production is great here, and really cool. The chimes are really cool, and you can hear little licks of the production in Savage if you listen closely. Yeah, good song.

Tory Lanez, DaBaby and Lil Wayne made a remix of Jack Harlow's WHATS POPPIN, and it's fantastic. Most artists here do a really good job. I say most, because although Jack Harlow, Tory Lanez, and DaBaby do a good job, Lil Wayne's verse isn't great, but that's just because it's Lil Wayne. This remix brought this song up to #2, and it definitely deserves it. Great song.

Best T40 Entrant: Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat) - Jawsh 685/Jason Derulo

Biggest Drop: The Bigger Picture - Lil Baby (-7): I knew this wasn't gonna be a hit, but I'm really sad that it got replaced with We Paid.

Biggest Jump: We Paid - Lil Baby/42 Dugg & Watermelon Sugar - Harry Styles (+8): I'm pretty happy Watermelon Sugar is getting success, even though I think it's old. We Paid, on the other hand, is really bad and shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10.

Three songs that left the Top 40 this week re-entered On the Verge, Memories, Here And Now and TROLLZ. Memories and TROLLZ are crap, so I'm glad to see them out of the Top 40, and Here And Now was just alright, so I'm not sad it dropped off of the Top 40 after one week.

Our first actual new song in On the Verge is from Kanye West and Travis Scott, called Wash Us In The Blood. I actually quite like this. Other than the screaming samples, which I could do without, both Kanye and Travis Scott do a really good job here. I like the production too. But yeah, Travis is easily the best part of this song, as he's the best part of every song. But yeah, I like this.

Another On the Verge debut is a song that's on Hits 1, Like That by Doja Cat and Gucci Mane. I pretty much still stand by what I said when I reviewed it for my Countdown posts. I like the chorus, and I like Gucci Mane's verse, but I don't like Doja Cat's verse, because I don't love Doja's rapping voice.

Our last debut is a country song by Jason Aldean, Got What I Got. This song is extremely boring, which is why I don't like it. The heavy guitar really doesn't sound good with this, and Jason doesn't have the voice to do a ballad (I mean, if I'm being honest, no country artist has the voice to do a ballad). Yeah, this really isn't good.

Your Savage Blurbs, Your Savage Blur-Blur-Blurbs

Our only real exit from the Top 40 this week is BLACK PARADE by Beyoncé. I'm not sad this is gone.

High Fashion dropped a lot this week, and I'm kind of sad because it's quite good. I like Roddy Ricch a lot.

Toosie Slide dropped out of the top 20 this week. I'm not too sad to see it go.

Stuck with U also took a tumble, so I'm not quite sure if it's gonna actually be a hit or not, despite what Hits 1 says.

I switched Life Is Good to blue, because although I hate Future's verse, I just love Drake's verse.

Bang! by AJR is swiftly climbing up the chart, so it could very likely debut On the Verge soon.

I also realized that I actually like the version of I Hope without Charlie Puth more than the one with Puth. I think Gabby Barrett actually delivers the second verse better than him, although the last chorus feels a little empty. So yeah, I'm sad this dropped out of the top 20.

Break My Heart entered the top 20, Hopefully, it'll hit #1 on Hits 1 soon. I mean, come on. Dua deserves it.

Savage dropped a couple spots. I guess it's losing traction.

ROCKSTAR's still holding at #1, and I'm really happy, and I hope it stays at #1 for a few more weeks before WHATS POPPIN probably dethrones it.

We lost a few On the Verge songs this week; I Hope You're Happy Now, everything i wanted, Snow On Tha Bluff and After A Few. I didn't care about any of these songs, so I don't care that they're gone.

That's all for today! Kwaheri, everybody, and see you all tomorrow!
