We had 5 debuts this week. Let’s kick it off with the best one, FLETCHER’s Undrunk. This song is great in every way. She sounds absolutely fantastic in it especially in the build up to the chorus. The song is super catchy too.

Next we have Marshmello and Swedish band CHVRCHES with Here With Me. This song is super catchy. I absolutely love it. CHVRCHES sounds great and Marshmello’s production here is top-notch. I really hope this does well.

Next we have Ciara with Thinkin Bout You. If I’m being absolutely serious, I find this song super repetitive and boring. There’s just really not much too it. I don’t really have anything else to say about it.

Next we have some more Avril Lavigne this time with Nicki Minaj. Dumb Blonde is a really great song. The drums sound great in the chorus, but unfortunately, in the chorus, that’s about it. She doesn’t sound too great in the chorus. She sounds fine everywhere else, but just there. That’s the only problem I have with it though. Overall, this song is still pretty good.

And now we have even more Ariana Grande with break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored. I don’t hate this, but I still don’t really like it. It is not by any means worse than thank u, next or 7 rings, but I still just don’t really like Ariana Grande right now.

Best Debut: FLETCHER - Undrunk

Biggest DROP!!!: Post Malone/Swae Lee - Sunflower (-23): Well, it had a good run, but I knew it’s time was over. I’m satisfied with how well this did. I really don’t care that much that it’s probably gonna leave next week.

Biggest Jump: Post Malone - Wow. (+13): Wow. I was not expecting this to jump, but I’m kind of glad it replaced Sunflower. I hope this song does even better.

break up with your blurb-friend, i’m bored

Eastside dropped a ton this week. I mean, I feel like everyone was kind of done with it, so it’s really fine.

In Betweenin’ dropped down to #30 after having the biggest jump last week. I don’t really want this to become a hit, so that’s good.

Tequila also dropped down a lot. I was so done with this one, so I don’t care that it dropped at all.

Low Key jumped up a lot. I don’t know what people like about this song, it’s just not good.

Last Hurrah and Speechless jumped up into the top 20 this week. They’re both great songs and I’m happy they jumped up.

I’m starting to get tired of Sucker being at #1. We’ve only had 4 #1s for the whole year.

We lost 5 songs this week. 3 of them were Super Sevens. The Way I Am, I’m A Mess, Genius, ALL THE WAYS and Hurts Like Hell. The Way I Am and I’m A Mess I was getting kind of tired of, so that’s good. Genius was great, and it deserved so much better than 3 weeks and ALL THE WAYS and Hurts Like Hell weren’t that great, so whatever. The rest of the Super Seven are: Maren Morris - GIRL (#42), YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Barker - 11 Minutes (#24) and Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow (#14).

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Avicii/Aloe Blacc - SOS

Most Missed Countdown Song: Avicii/Aloe Blacc - Wake Me Up

Hit-Bound

Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road (Remix) (DEBUT)

Billie Eilish - bury a friend

NOTD/Felix Jaehn/Georgia Ku/Captain Cuts - So Close

BTS/Halsey - Boy With Luv (DEBUT)

lovelytheband - maybe, i’m afraid

MAX/Quinn XCII - Love Me Less

Ava Max - So Am I

Jonas Brothers - Cool

Panic! At The Disco - Dancing’s Not A Crime

Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other (DEBUT)

Kygo/Valerie Broussard - Think About You

Jordan McGraw - FLEXIBLE

Jennifer Lopez/French Montana - Medicine (DEBUT)

Louis Tomlinson - Two Of Us

The Chainsmokers - Kills You Slowly (DEBUT)

No surprise that we got this first Hit-Bound song, Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road (Remix). And despite all the memes, I actually really like it. I think both Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus sound really great. I just honestly think it’s a really solid song.

And now we have a terrible song by the name of Boy With Luv by BTS and Halsey. I can’t stand this song. I already don’t really like Halsey and BTS just makes her sound even worse. This song is just terrible in every way.

Next we have the host of Hit-Bound this week, Alec Benjamin with If We Have Each Other. I actually really like this song. It’s super emotional and you can hear it in his voice. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this song and Alec even sounds better too.

Now we have more Jennifer Lopez, this time teaming up with French Montana on Medicine. Honestly, there’s not much to say about this song. It’s kind of boring and Jennifer doesn’t sound too great either.

And finally, we have The Chainsmokers with Kills You Slowly. So, I looked at the album cover for World War Joy… Kills You Slowly and realized it’s an album list with all the songs blacked out except for this and Who Do You Love. So, it looks like they’ll be revealing the songs for this album one by one. Anyways, this song also doesn’t have much to it. It’s also just kind of boring. I’ll probably grow into this song, but not yet.

Also, why the heck is maybe, i’m afraid still here?
