Countdown Extra: The Motto - Tiësto/Ava Max

We got four debuts and a re-entry this week, and we're kicking it off with Let's go to Hell by Tai Verdes at #30. I reviewed this last week (and by last week, I mean two days ago), so I won't go on for too long here, but this song's great. Tai sounds fantastic here, the production is awesome and the chorus is super catchy and fun. I'm not sure if this is actually becoming a pop hit anywhere other than here, but I'm more than fine with this being here.

Next up, we have Oliver Tree making his Countdown debut this week with Life Goes On, which comes in at #28. I'm not a huge fan of this song. The production's actually somewhat decent, but Oliver Tree sounds awful here, and the song as a whole is just really weird. The chorus is also really annoying, with the "on and on and on" part going on for a bit too long, in my opinion (heh. I'm a rhyming genius). Also, the way it switches at the end makes me feel extremely unnerved, and I don't like it. I'd rather not have this become a hit here (or anywhere, for that matter).

Happier Than Ever re-entered the Countdown this week, which is awesome! It's a great song, and I'm happy that it's getting a second chance here.

At #25, Post Malone and The Weeknd debut with their new song, One Right Now. I like this song, but I feel like it could've been much better. Post and Abel's voices mix really well together, and the chorus is super catchy, but it feels like this collaboration would've worked better if it was a little darker. Oh, well, this is still good. I'd be okay if this was a hit, I'm just slightly underwhelmed.

Speaking of underwhelming, Silk Sonic score their third song on the Weekend Countdown this week with Smokin Out The Window. I really enjoyed Skate, but this is a very disappointing follow-up to that single. It goes back to their slower vibe from Leave The Door Open, which I didn't love, and still don't. Both Bruno and Anderson sound great here, and their smooth vocals work well with the song, but I just find myself a little bored with this.

Best Debut: Let's go to Hell - Tai Verdes

Biggest Drop: STAY - The Kid LAROI/Justin Bieber (-16): Yeah, I definitely expected this to drop soon, but I was kinda hoping that it had a little more time than that, 'cause it's still pretty enjoyable.

Biggest Jump: Better Days - NEIKED/Mae Muller/Polo G (+10): I wasn't really expecting this, but I'm definitely glad. I'd love to see this become a big hit here. I find it kinda funny how Hits 1 chose it as their One to Watch song, but now it's actually blowing up everywhere else.

Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift

Before we get going, in case you were wondering why the Hit-Bound list is pretty short this week, it's because One Right Now, Life Goes On and Let's go to Hell all pulled Sunday Bests.

Our first Hit-Bound debut this week comes from somebody we haven't heard from in a while, Avril Lavigne. She returns with her new song, Bite Me, and this is a pop-punk song, which is my favourite genre of hers. Her voice just compliments the pop-punk sound so well, and she doesn't break that trend here. Travis Barker's production doesn't disappoint either. I'm happy that Avril's back, and I'd love for this to become a hit.

So, Taylor Swift released RED (Taylor's Version) this week, and HOLY CRAP guys, it's so good. The first half of the album is super nostalgic for me, and the second half of the album is just filled with amazing songs that I've never heard before. I'd highly suggest you give it a listen if you haven't already (if you don't plan to, at least listen to All Too Well (10 Minute Version)). Anyways, Hits 1 decided to pick up on one of the "From The Vault" songs this week, and, predictably, they chose the Ed Sheeran collab, Run. This song's pretty good. It definitely wouldn't be my choice from the "Vault" songs, I probably would've gone with Message In A Bottle, but this song's pretty nice and chill. Both Taylor and Ed sound great here, and their voices mix pretty well. I'd be okay if this was a hit here, although it's not my favourite.

WOOOOOH! Hits 1 picked up on another Twenty One Pilots song from their album Scaled And Icy! This new single's called The Outside, and it's nothing short of amazing. Obviously, I've been familiar with this one for a while now, but I still enjoy it as much as I ever have. Tyler Joseph sounds great here, especially in the rapping bit, and I really enjoy how different each section is from one other (although, Hits 1 edited out the last one). On top of that, you've got really cool production, and a great, catchy, chorus. Overall, this is a fantastic song, and I hope it can manage to debut the Countdown sooner rather than later.

Next up, we have an artist who we haven't heard from in a bit, JP Saxe. If you remember from last year, he had a song with Julia Michaels called If the World Was Ending, and it was a pretty big hit. Anyways, this week he returns with his new song, Soft Landing, and it's great. I still love JP Saxe's voice, and the production in this song actually evolves really nicely, as opposed to the aforementioned song. It's also a bit of a slower song without being too slow, which is perfect for radio. I'd love to see this become a hit.

We have a newcomer next, Benson Boone, with his brand new song called GHOST TOWN. This is also a great song. It's pretty slow, but Benson sounds amazing here, and some of the lyrics actually hit pretty hard. The production supports the song decently well, and overall, this is just a solid song. I'd love to see this become a hit here.

For our last Hit-Bound debut this week, we have another new song from Tate McRae, with this one being called feel like s**t. Apparently, this is the first song that Tate wrote that actually stems from real experiences, and that definitely shows in this song. The lyrics sound much more genuine compared to something like you broke me first, and you can hear more emotion in her voice. This is yet another slower song, but, again, it evolves nicely, Tate sounds great*, and the production supports the song well. This is probably my second-favourite Tate McRae song after the blackbear collab from earlier this year. Wow, that was a great batch of debuts.

*if that doesn't prove I'm a rhyming genius, I don't know what will

As for re-entries, MONEY re-enters Hit-Bound after dropping out, Faking Love and Cheat Codes' Hurricane enter the Abyss after dropping out of the Countdown this week, and U Gurl enters the Abyss after dropping out of Hit-Bound last week. I'm really sad that MONEY and U Gurl are back, as they're both bad, but Faking Love and Hurricane are both good, so I'm glad they're still here.

As for dropouts, we lost Boyz, Toxic, TWINNEM, Overpass Graffiti, Telepath and Alone. The only two that I'm kinda sad about are Overpass Graffiti and Telepath, as the former started to grow on me, and the latter was great, even if I was never given the chance to really enjoy it.

Blurb Goes On and On and On and On and On and On and On and On

Our Countdown exits this week were Faking Love, Hurricane, Bad Habits, Paralyzed and Take My Breath. I'm a little sad that Faking Love only spent one week at #30, because it was pretty good. Hurricane was also good, but forgettable, so whatever. Bad Habits and Take My Breath were both great, but also both had some pretty good runs here, so I'm not really complaining. As for Paralyzed, it was almost starting to grow on me...?

*phew* Way 2 Sexy dropped back down to its rightful spot in the bottom 5.

Angel Baby scored a huge boost this week, which is great.

Both Moth To A Flame and Meet Me At Our Spot got four-spot jumps into the top 20 this week, which is awesome for both of them.

A-O-K is likely on its last week here (they also switched back to the original for some reason), which I'm more than okay with.

Memory, Ghost and Who's In Your Head all got big jumps into the top 10 this week, which is great for all of them, because they're all good songs.

Luckily, Fancy Like and Saturday switched places, which is awesome.

Unfortunately, so did INDUSTRY BABY and Cold Heart.

Countdown Extra: Life Goes On - Oliver Tree

For our first debut this week, we have a song that never made it to Hit-Bound, but spent a considerable amount of time in the Abyss. The song is called Faking Love by Anitta and Saweetie. This is a pretty good song. Both Anitta and Saweetie sound great here, and they each do a really good job with their respective parts. The chorus is also pretty catchy, and the song as a whole flows nicely. My only real issue with this is that the production feels just a little too minimalistic for my liking. It doesn't take away too much from the song, though, which is good. Overall, I'd be happy if this became a hit.

I'm honestly a little surprised that this next song actually managed to debut, considering The Weeknd had yet another huge release this weekend. However, the release of that song (which I'll get to in a bit) doesn't seem to have impacted Moth To A Flame with Swedish House Mafia too much, seeing as it debuts at #24 on this week's countdown. I love this song. Abel sounds amazing throughout the song, and Swedish House Mafia did a great job of handling the darker production that often comes with The Weeknd's music. On top of that, the chorus is extremely catchy, and the album cover looks extremely cool (no, seriously. I mean, just look at that thing). I'd love to see this become a hit here.

Best Debut: Moth To A Flame - Swedish House Mafia/The Weeknd

Biggest Drop: Take My Breath - The Weeknd (-11): This was bound to happen eventually, but I kinda wish it had happened just a bit later, because I feel like this song deserves that.

Biggest Jump: Memory - Kane Brown/blackbear (+5): I really didn't expect this song to do that well on its second try, but boy has it been proving me wrong. No complaints here.

Our first new Hit-Bound song is from a new artist, called BoyWithUke. He brings his new song Toxic to Hits 1 this week, and it's... not great. Literally the only part I like about this is the melody of the chorus. Other than that, I'm not loving BoyWithUke's voice, the verses are strange, and the production doesn't do enough to save the song. Overall, I'd rather not have this become a hit here.

Tai Verdes returns this week with his second solo song, Let's go to Hell. Alright, Tai, fine. I'll let you have this one. A couple more songs like this and I can forgive you for A-O-K and Sheesh!. Anyways, this is an amazing little song. Tai Verdes genuinely sounds great throughout most of the song, and the chorus is so stupidly catchy that even if I wanted to hate this, I couldn't. In addition, the production here compliments the song extremely well, just adding to the overall energy of the song. Overall, fantastic song, I'd love for it to do well.

Well, that was short-lived. We're jumping right back into the bad music, as next up is TWINNEM by Coi Leray. Let me get one thing straight before I start: the verses are fine. Coi sounds decent in them, and the big, thumpy bass isn't that annoying. But that chorus... it's so freaking annoying that I don't think anything could save this song from it. I'd really rather not hear that chorus one more time, but I know that that's asking a lot, so... how about we compromise, Hits 1, and it just doesn't debut the Countdown?

Moving on, we have a new Silk Sonic song before the release of their album tomorrow, with this one being called Smokin Out The Window. Yeah, Skate is still my favourite Silk Sonic song, and I don't think that that's gonna change anytime soon. This song goes back to the croony vibe of Leave The Door Open, which is not my favourite, and doesn't fit very well on the radio. That being said, Bruno and Anderson's voices save the song from being bad (or even mediocre, for that matter), but it's still super boring. I'd be okay if this doesn't get as big as LTDO.

Next, we have Have Mercy by Chlöe (of Chloe x Halle). I know I gave this a "red" rating in my ItCMS post last week, but I gave it another listen, and realized that it's actually quite a good song. The sample fits really well with the song, and Chlöe sounds great throughout this song, especially in the rapping bit. The beat is pretty good, and fits the song well. Overall, this is a pretty great song, and I'd love to see it do well here.

We see Ava Max make a Hits 1 return this week after My Head & My Heart from early this year. She teams up with Tiësto on this new song, called The Motto. This song's fine. I'm not so sure Ava's voice works that well with Tiësto's thumpy* EDM production, but she still sounds good, and the chorus is pretty catchy. I'd say that this is a good song, however, I don't really see it doing that well here or anywhere.

*Did I seriously use the word "thumpy" twice in this post?

Conan Gray returns again with another super upbeat song to join Maniac and Overdrive this week. This new song's called Telepath, and it's just as good as those two songs. Actually, I think it falls somewhere in the middle (better than Maniac, slightly worse than Overdrive). It's a super fun song, and Conan sounds great throughout it, with the upbeat production complimenting his voice really well, but I don't find it ridiculously memorable. I'm sure this'll debut anyways, though.

Alright, everyone, we've made it to the big release of the week. Post Malone and The Weeknd teaming up on a new song called One Right Now. This is a good song, but it could've been much better, in my opinion. Personally, I think it would've worked better as a darker song, but the upbeat vibe still works. Post and Abel mesh pretty well together, which doesn't really surprise me, and the production's fun, but again, this had the potential to be much better than it is. I'm sure it'll still be a big hit, though.

justified dropped out of the Countdown this week and found its way to the Abyss. Will this re-enter? Probably not. In fact, I see it leaving completely in the next week or two.

As for dropouts, we lost U Gurl, Present, Signals, Darling and MONEY from Hit-Bound, and HIT IT, Hurricane and Love Tonight from the Abyss. I know for a fact that U Gurl isn't gone, as it's already started to get spins, which absolutely sucks. Present and Signals both only lasted a week here, and were super forgettable, so I don't care about either of them. Darling was great, but not a single, so whatever, and MONEY was pretty bad. As for our Abyss exits, I'm happy two of them are gone, and pretty sad that the other is gone. Take a wild guess as to which is which.

But Does He Know You Call Blurbs When He Sleeps?

Our other Countdown exit this week is Love Again. I really liked that song, but it had a pretty good run here, so I'm not ridiculously sad.

edamame got a nice rebound after its drop from last week, which is good to see.

Unfortunately, Way 2 Sexy also jumped quite a bit... this can leave... please.

Bad Habits is either on its last or second-last week here, which I'm fine with, because it did very well here.

Ayy, I'd love to see For Tonight become a hit!

Maybe not Need to Know, though.

THATS WHAT I WANT is sitting right outside the top 10, which is fantastic. I'd love for it to do well here, because it's a great song.

Both A-O-K and Fancy Like jumped three spots to #6 and #5, respectively. I'm okay with A-O-K for now, just as long as it leaves relatively soon, but this is high enough for Fancy Like. I don't even know why it's still here, let alone in the top five... it is better than U Gurl, though, so I'll give it that.

INDUSTRY BABY is #2! Come on. Just one week at #1 before Easy On Me dominates it for 10+ weeks in-a-row. Please.
