For the first new song on the countdown is Olly Murs with Moves. This one is a super fun track. It’s great, upbeat, and overall just a really good song. I hate how they edited out Snoop Dog’s part, but whatever.
And then we have Lauren Jauregui with Expectations. When I first heard this one, I thought this was really good. And then, I listened to it a bit more, and realized it’s actually not that good. It’s not very catchy, but I mean, it’s okay.
And with the highest debut of the week, at #30, we have Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho. This one, is actually really really good. From the first time I heard it, I really liked it. It’s super catchy and it’s fun and great. I wish this one well.
Best Debut Of The Week: Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho
Biggest DROP!!!: Maroon 5/Cardi B - Girls Like You (-9): This song faded on me really fast, and I actually think this one should have dropped a long time ago. (Even if it only dropped 9 spots.)
Biggest Jump: Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It (+12): And this one’s back. Not a surprise. It was high, then low, and now it’s high again. This one’s pretty unpredictable. I just hope it stays a bit longer, because I like it.

Blurbs
As far as the exits go, we lost Ariana - God Is A Woman, Alex Aiono - Big Mistake and Loud Luxury/Brando - Body. As for God Is A Woman, it faded and I don’t really care. I really enjoyed Big Mistake, and I’m sad to see it flop. And Body, well, I don’t really care about that one.
The Middle is finally in the bottom 5. This has stayed too long, and now it’s just really annoying.
Breathin’ is finally getting some success, and it’s great to see it this high.
Youngblood finally dropped off #1, and I don’t think it’s gonna be back. Yay!
And This Feeling is finally up at #1. That’s great. I really like it, and I’m so glad to see it getting this level of success.
Hit-Bound
Dan + Shay - Speechless
Alessia Cara - Trust My Lonely
Twenty One Pilots - Chlorine
Seeb/Bastille - Grip (DEBUT)
Zara Larsson - Ruin My Life
Imagine Dragons - Machine
Steve Aoki/BTS - Waste It On Me
Dean Lewis - Be Alright
Ellie Goulding/Diplo - Close To Me
Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
James Arthur - Empty Space
Charli XCX/Troye Sivan - 1999 (DEBUT)
Khalid - Better
Lauren Daigle - You Say (DEBUT)
5 Seconds Of Summer - Killer Queen
And with that, we’ve got 3 new Hit-Bound songs. The first, Seeb and Bastille with Grip. This one feels a little weird to me. It’s just kind of awkward and not what I’m used to from Bastille.
The next one is another weird one. And it’s called Charli XCX/Troye Sivan - 1999. In an interview with Charli, she said she didn’t even really wish we could all go back to 1999, she just thought it would be a good song title, and that just bleeds through in this. It’s just really weird.
And then finally, we have Lauren Daigle with You Say. This one is just absolutely beautiful. It is a perfect beautiful song. I absolutely love it.
