So turns out this isn't gone... because I still like doing it, and I think you guys like it too.
Also, it seems like this countdown really likes Alec Benjamin.

We need to talk.
Okay, this is a little different from my usual posts, but I just felt like I really needed to say something here. I've been waiting for an outlet to say what I needed to for so long, but I guess this is just going to have to do, even though I'm just writing for like twenty people and myself. This is mainly for me, so you don't even have to read this at all if you don't want to, but I just really needed to say something, or else my mind would explode.
Our world needs to change.
Okay, listen, I know you're just here to have a good time, and you really don't want to listen to another one of these, but I just need to do this. I have a feeling that someone out there right now, really needs to hear this. Our world is literally falling apart. We have divisions everywhere, and the wrong people are in control of our countries. I know there are good people out there. They're just too afraid to show themselves. But we need to band together, because if we don't, nothing's going to get better. I know we don't even know each other, and I'm just some random guy on the Internet that writes about a music countdown of all things, but our generation has to be the one that changes stuff. I know we can do it. We've already shown that we're capable of caring about things, and we're very passionate about issues. There is hope, even though sometimes it seems like there isn't. There are people who care. But we can't just sit here and do nothing. We need to stand up for our rights and our freedoms, and we need to show these older generations that we're not just some kids addicted to technology. So speak up, and show the world what you're capable of. Because together, I know that we can do this. Our world needs to see what we're capable of and they need to know that we're not messing around. So make a change.
Be the difference.

Countdown Extra: Some Kind Of Disaster - All Time Low
Our first of four debuts this week is Heartless by The Weeknd. And at this point, I’m seriously not sure why this is here, because this is clearly the more trap-sounding song, and Blinding Lights is right now higher than Heartless on the Hot 100. I still don’t really like this. I don’t like the lyrics here, since they’re all about him being “heartless” and how he’s going to abandon anyone. This isn’t good. It’s not very interesting at all, and there’s just nothing here that appeals to me. *2 weeks in Hit-Bound, 3 weeks on Voting Poll
At #36, we have more Alec Benjamin (who else) with Demons. Meh. This is alright. I feel like I’m turning around a bit on this one though. I used to not like it, but then I realized it’s actually not that bad. I mean, sure his vocals could use a bit of work, and the whole thing is a little underwhelming, but it’s still fairly solid. It’s honestly not terrible at all, and I think I definitely judged it before I got a good opinion on it. It’s still not good though.
Next up, we have You should be sad by Halsey. And yeah, this is one of the better Halsey songs. She actually sounds really good, and it’s very catchy. The writing is easily the best part of this song, and yeah. This is really good. For the most part. Again, it’s slightly underwhelming, like Demons, but a little less so.
Finally, at #26, we have Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi. I’m glad to see Lewis getting another debut here, since he’s actually really good. I know a lot of people don’t like him, but I still don’t get it. I think his voice is actually really great. I see nothing grating about it. This song is honestly probably better than Someone You Loved. The writing is for sure better, as it’s about one of his friends that left this world a little too early. This is a great ballad.
Best Debut: Before You Go - Lewis Capaldi
Biggest DROP!!!: How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith (-21): This was definitely due. This stayed up in the top 20 for too many weeks, even though it wasn’t even that big.
Biggest Jump: 10/10 - Rex Orange County (+10): Great! I’d love to see this be a hit!

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Blinding Lights - The Weeknd
My Favourite Song Last Year: Grip - Seeb/Bastille, You Say - Lauren Daigle & Be Alright - Dean Lewis
My Least Favourite Song Last Year: thank u, next - Ariana Grande
So our first debut this week is the big return of Demi Lovato, after what happened to her, with Anyone. This is pretty good. It’s a very solid ballad, and I can find tons of things to like about it, but it’s just really not my style. However, this still is a great song.
Next up we have Nice to Meet Ya by Meghan Trainor and Nicki Minaj. (Notice the lowercase “to”. That’s gonna be very important for blurbs when this debuts, or else things are gonna get really confusing) Probably my favourite part about this song is imagining Meghan’s reaction when Niall came out with his song. There’s nothing really special about this song, but it’s not horrible.
Next up we have another song by blackbear, called me & ur ghost. This one, I’m less surprised that it’s here, since it sounds more pop-y than hot girl bummer. Is this better than hgb? I’m seriously not sure. Both songs are so drastically different, that it’s hard to pair them against each other. Although there are some continuity errors here. In the chorus, he says he threw out his phone, but in the bridge, he says he doesn’t know what to do with the pictures on his iPhone. So unless he threw out his landline, this doesn’t make much sense. Although I don’t know why he hasn’t thrown out his landline yet.
The best debut this week comes from JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. It’s called If The World Was Ending, and the story here is that there was this huge earthquake that scared everyone. Then there are these two exes who broke up for whatever reason, and they’re wondering if this is it, and if it doesn’t matter anyways, would they stay with each other? This is such a sweet story, and I can kind of see this becoming a movie. But for the time being, I think both artists deliver really well here and help bring the story to life.
Next we have another song from Dua Lipa’s next album, Future Nostalgia, called Physical. This is pretty good. This isn’t exactly for me right now, but I can for sure see this growing on me like Don’t Start Now did. This is looking to be a pretty good album.

Before You Blurb
This week, we lost Panini, Trampoline, Mother and We Made It. Panini was pretty good, but Hits 1 picked up on it on its decline. So it wasn’t destined to last very long. Trampoline was one of the best songs of 2019, but it was getting a little old at this point. Mother was terrible, and not even big, so it really didn’t deserve to be here. And We Made It was kind of forgettable.
What Am I dropped eleven spots this week, which kind of sucks, but it was kind of old.
Raising Hell also dropped. Whatever.
So for some reason, Yummy is becoming a hit. Please no.
hot girl bummer is up in the top 30, which is for sure good.
Dance Monkey is really close to hitting the top 20. Come on, Hits 1. Let me have one thing here.
ROXANNE is back in the top 20, which is great.
Don’t Start Now made it into the top 5! YAY! I’d love to see this hit #1.
Adore You is up at #2, which is scary. Hopefully Circles blocks this off before Don’t Start Now hits #1.
Also, we lost Good Thing. I can't believe this didn't debut the countdown, because it seems like exactly the type of song that Hits 1 loves. Oh well.

Should I start keeping track of how many weeks a song's lasted on the countdown or would it get too cluttered?

It’s not very interesting at all, and there’s just nothing here that appeals to me. *2 weeks in Hit-Bound, 3 weeks on Voting Poll
At #36, we have more Alec Benjamin (who else) with Demons. Meh. This is alright. I feel like I’m turning around a bit on this one though. I used to not like it, but then I realized it’s actually not that bad. I mean, sure his vocals could use a bit of work, and the whole thing is a little underwhelming, but it’s still fairly solid. It’s honestly not terrible at all, and I think I definitely judged it before I got a good opinion on it. It’s still not good though.
Next up, we have You should be sad by Halsey. And yeah, this is one of the better Halsey songs. She actually sounds really good, and it’s very catchy. The writing is easily the best part of this song, and yeah. This is really good. For the most part. Again, it’s slightly underwhelming, like Demons, but a little less so.
Finally, at #26, we have Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi. I’m glad to see Lewis getting another debut here, since he’s actually really good. I know a lot of people don’t like him, but I still don’t get it. I think his voice is actually really great. I see nothing grating about it. This song is honestly probably better than Someone You Loved. The writing is for sure better, as it’s about one of his friends that left this world a little too early. This is a great ballad.
Best Debut: Before You Go - Lewis Capaldi
Biggest DROP!!!: How Do You Sleep? - Sam Smith (-21): This was definitely due. This stayed up in the top 20 for too many weeks, even though it wasn’t even that big.
Biggest Jump: 10/10 - Rex Orange County (+10): Great! I’d love to see this be a hit!

Next up we have Nice to Meet Ya by Meghan Trainor and Nicki Minaj. (Notice the lowercase “to”. That’s gonna be very important for blurbs when this debuts, or else things are gonna get really confusing) Probably my favourite part about this song is imagining Meghan’s reaction when Niall came out with his song. There’s nothing really special about this song, but it’s not horrible.
Next up we have another song by blackbear, called me & ur ghost. This one, I’m less surprised that it’s here, since it sounds more pop-y than hot girl bummer. Is this better than hgb? I’m seriously not sure. Both songs are so drastically different, that it’s hard to pair them against each other. Although there are some continuity errors here. In the chorus, he says he threw out his phone, but in the bridge, he says he doesn’t know what to do with the pictures on his iPhone. So unless he threw out his landline, this doesn’t make much sense. Although I don’t know why he hasn’t thrown out his landline yet.
The best debut this week comes from JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. It’s called If The World Was Ending, and the story here is that there was this huge earthquake that scared everyone. Then there are these two exes who broke up for whatever reason, and they’re wondering if this is it, and if it doesn’t matter anyways, would they stay with each other? This is such a sweet story, and I can kind of see this becoming a movie. But for the time being, I think both artists deliver really well here and help bring the story to life.
Next we have another song from Dua Lipa’s next album, Future Nostalgia, called Physical. This is pretty good. This isn’t exactly for me right now, but I can for sure see this growing on me like Don’t Start Now did. This is looking to be a pretty good album.

Before You Blurb
This week, we lost Panini, Trampoline, Mother and We Made It. Panini was pretty good, but Hits 1 picked up on it on its decline. So it wasn’t destined to last very long. Trampoline was one of the best songs of 2019, but it was getting a little old at this point. Mother was terrible, and not even big, so it really didn’t deserve to be here. And We Made It was kind of forgettable.
What Am I dropped eleven spots this week, which kind of sucks, but it was kind of old.
Raising Hell also dropped. Whatever.
So for some reason, Yummy is becoming a hit. Please no.
hot girl bummer is up in the top 30, which is for sure good.
Dance Monkey is really close to hitting the top 20. Come on, Hits 1. Let me have one thing here.
ROXANNE is back in the top 20, which is great.
Don’t Start Now made it into the top 5! YAY! I’d love to see this hit #1.
Adore You is up at #2, which is scary. Hopefully Circles blocks this off before Don’t Start Now hits #1.
Also, we lost Good Thing. I can't believe this didn't debut the countdown, because it seems like exactly the type of song that Hits 1 loves. Oh well.

Last Year’s #1: Without Me - Halsey [4/5 weeks at #1]
Countdown Extra: Demons - Alec Benjamin
Our first debut this week comes from Rex Orange County, and I have to say, 10/10 really grew on me. I honestly didn’t expect this to be that good. But I like his voice a lot, and I find it kind of catchy. The whole song is a little repetitive, but I think it’s still pretty great. I can see this growing on me even more. *3 weeks in Hit-Bound, 4 weeks on Voting Poll
Next up, we have Fight by Tayla Parx and Florida Georgia Line. I actually forgot that Hits 1 stans FGL’s pop/country songs before this got picked up. This is pretty good. I think Tayla, Tyler and Brian all have some pretty good chemistry. They all have really good voices and it’s decently catchy. It’s pretty good, but not great. *2 weeks in Hit-Bound, 4 weeks on Voting Poll
At #32, we have Cuz I Love You by Lizzo. I don’t really want any more Lizzo songs. None of them are good. (Except maybe Good As Hell.) This isn’t as terrible as Truth Hurts, but it’s still really bad. It suffers from the same issues. Her voice is terrible, the instrumentation is generic, and it’s way too catchy for its own good. So yeah, this really isn’t good. *5 weeks in Hit-Bound, 6 weeks on Voting Poll
And for our best debut, a top 20 debut actually, we have What A Man Gotta Do by the Jonas Brothers. (Of course.) This song is great. These guys keep making absolute bangers, and I hope they never stop. This song is better than Only Human, and maybe even better than Sucker. The energy in this song is perfect. They seem super excited to be alive, and it’s infectious. So yeah, a really great song, and I have no doubt this will hit #1. *1 week in Hit-Bound, 2 weeks on Voting Poll
Best Debut: What A Man Gotta Do - Jonas Brothers
Biggest DROP!!!: Mother - Charlie Puth (-18): Well, considering this wasn’t a hit at all, yeah, this is a good drop. It was just kind of taking up space anyways.
Biggest Jump: Wanted - OneRepublic (+14): Well shoot. I thought this would flop, but I guess we can’t have good things around here.

My Favourite Song Last Year: Empty Space - James Arthur
My Least Favourite Song Last Year: Ocean To Ocean - Pitbull/Rhea
Replacing Paper Rings this week we have The Man by Taylor Swift, which I guess makes sense since it’s being pushed as a single, but I really would’ve rather had Paper Rings. Anyways, The Man is pretty good. The writing is easily the best part of this song, with Taylor singing about how if she was a man, how different her life would be. The production is alright, and it’s still pretty catchy, but I feel like Paper Rings is still so much better. Oh well.

What A Blurb Gotta Do
We lost four songs this week. Nightmare, If We Have Each Other, The Hype and Into the Unknown. Nightmare was terrible, and should’ve left a long time ago. IWHEO was old, so whatever. The Hype should’ve been a bigger hit, and same with Into the Unknown.
Who Do You Love finally hit the bottom 5. This took too long.
Same with Truth Hurts.
My Oh My is really close to the top 20, so that’s really good.
Don’t Start Now left the top 10. This is unfair.
Lose You To Love Me is finally top 5! But oddly, so is Teeth again.
CIRCLES IS #1!!! THIS TOOK WAY TOO LONG, BUT THAT’S OKAY!!!

So now’s normally when I would do the album of the week, but this weekend, I just never got around to listening to Eminem’s new album. I knew I wasn’t gonna get this post out on time if I tried to listen to it, and honestly the album reviews are a lot of work, because of how many songs you have to listen to. So I might do it next week, but we’ll see.
So I was looking back at my most popular posts, and wondering what I did that made people like them. Then I realized it was me praising the new #1. So I’m pretty hopeful for this week.

#94: Take What You Want - Post Malone/Ozzy Osbourne/Travis Scott
So now’s normally when I would do the album of the week, but this weekend, I just never got around to listening to Eminem’s new album. I knew I wasn’t gonna get this post out on time if I tried to listen to it, and honestly the album reviews are a lot of work, because of how many songs you have to listen to. So I might do it next week, but we’ll see.
Callout Scores Again! (Cuz Why Not)
Okay. Take two. In case you have absolutely no clue what this is, check out this post, because I think Nick explains it better than I can.
Anyways, so after just three weeks Nick discontinued callout scores.
Then I tried to bring it back.
And I messed up two weeks in a row.
So I stopped.
And now I'm bringing it back again.
So for real this time, here's callout scores.

Good luck, and may the force be with you.
