3 new songs this week, and our first only stayed in Hit-Bound for one week. I promised you guys last week that I would review this song when it debuted, thinking it would give me more time to listen to it and stuff, but NOPE! That’s fine though because I have an opinion on it now. Juice by Lizzo is super forgettable. It just doesn’t stick with me after I listen to it. Her voice is okay, but I mean… there’s just not much else here.

Our second one is not much better than the last. (We didn’t get very good debuts this week) It’s Low Key by Ally Brooke, the fourth member from Fifth Harmony to go solo. Turns out none of them are very good singers. I don’t really enjoy any of their music except for maybe Normani Kordei and Havana. Anyways, back to Low Key. This song just doesn’t have much going for it and is uninteresting again.

And finally, we have the latest by Bebe Rexha, Last Hurrah. This song is really good. Bebe sounds spectacular, especially in the last chorus, and the song is just overall super catchy. I absolutely love it. I love how intense it gets near the end it just feels so awesome.

Best Debut: Bebe Rexha - Last Hurrah

Biggest DROP!!!: Meghan Trainor - ALL THE WAYS (-16): Good. This song jumped up a lot last week and I really didn’t want it to do well. Honestly, I don’t think any of the Super Seven are doing well except for Shallow.

Biggest Jump: Austin Brown - In Betweenin’ (+18): Honestly, this song is very forgettable. He reminds me a lot of Alec Benjamin, and I don’t know, I don’t mind this song, so I’m kind of happy it jumped, but I don’t really care.

Last Blurbah

We lost 3 songs this week. Zedd/Katy Perry - 365, Maroon 5/Cardi B - Girls Like You and Kelsey Karter - Harry. 365 should’ve lasted so much longer. It was so good and I don’t know why it flopped. Girls Like You was okay, but in my opinion, I heard it too much and I’m honestly just sitting here laughing at how short Harry’s run was. And that’s the first of the Super Seven to leave. The rest are: Madison Beer - Hurts Like Hell (#41), LSD/Lil Wayne - Genius (#40), Meghan Trainor - ALL THE WAYS (#39), Maren Morris - GIRL (#35), YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Barker - 11 Minutes (#27) and Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow (#17).

Can I’m A Mess and The Way I Am just leave already? They’ve been here for so long.

Every Super Seven song dropped this week. I feel like at least Genius deserved better.

I don’t know why, but I’ve Been Waiting dropped down again. I really like that song and I wish it did better.

Walk Me Home jumped up quite a bit. I’m happy about that.

Let Me Down Slowly jumped back up to #4. I thought this song was dead.

Sweet But Psycho is sitting at a dangerous #2. I really don’t want this song to hit #1 because it just feels super unoriginal.

Also 3 new Hit-Bound songs this week! All of them are great. Let’s kick it off with Jordan McGraw’s FLEXIBLE. I actually really like this song. His voice kind of reminds me of Stephen Puth’s. The song itself is really catchy and I enjoy it a lot.

And we already get a new Jonas Brothers song! This one is called Cool and it’s just as good as Sucker. I think they were going for a Song Of The Summer with Sucker, but then it got big too quick, so they released this one. I love this song. It’s great and is so different from Sucker that it already feels fresh and I’m not getting tired of too much Jonas Brothers.

And now we have the host of Hit-Bound this week, MAX with his newest single Love Me Less. Wow. We got some pretty great Hit-Bound songs this week. This song just sounds really great. I don’t really have a great opinion on it yet, but I know I like it.
