Our first new song is one by the late Lil Peep, Fall Out Boy and ILoveMakonnen with I’ve Been Waiting. I have to say, everybody sounds good in this one. Patrick Stump sounds outstanding and the song is just really catchy, especially the chorus. I wish this one the best.
Now here’s one I was recommending weeks before it debuted on Hit-Bound. It’s Bad Liar by Imagine Dragons. Spyder Harrison was saying it’s probably been years since an Imagine Dragons song wasn’t on the countdown. He’s right. It’s been since Believer debuted. Bad Liar will probably carry that to either their next single off of Origins or even their next album. Bad Liar is just a beautiful and amazing song. I wish it the absolute best.
Best Debut: Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar
Biggest DROP!!!: 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood (-16): Finally. This one stayed way too long, and I’m glad to see it starting to drop fast. I kind of liked it at first, but I’ve just heard it way too many times.
Biggest Jump: Sam Smith/Normani - Dancing With A Stranger (+21): Okay. Whatever. I don’t really care about this one. It’s good and they both sound great, but it just doesn’t really appeal to me. Not my cup of tea.

5 new songs in Hit-Bound this week! Kicking it off with new P!nk with Walk Me Home. This one is just amazing. I really love it and the chorus is amazing and super catchy. P!nk sounds spectacular (when does she not?) and I just really enjoy it.
Austin Brown’s In Betweenin’ also joins the Hits 1 group this week. If I’m being honest, Austin Brown reminds me a lot of Alec Benjamin. I don’t find any of their voices special and it’s just kind of bland. It’s early on, so I can’t have a strong opinion yet, but…
Does Hits 1 have a thing with editing out male rappers in other people’s songs? I think they do. Ally Brooke comes alone this time with Low Key without Tyga. This song is just really bad. Ally Brooke sounds terrible (as most of the Fifth Harmony singers do) and it’s just not interesting whatsoever.
Something no one expected; the Jonas Brothers are back together! They hosted Hit-Bound and I don’t have much to say about that, but I have a lot to say about their new song Sucker. It sounds amazing. They all sound really good, and it is so catchy. I absolutely love it and I can totally see this one debuting next week just because I think everybody’s happy these three are back.
Kygo/Valerie Broussard - Think About You is our last new song on Hit-Bound pushing the count of Hit-Bound songs to 16. This one is pretty forgettable. I think it’s pretty good but the problem is, I just can’t remember much of it after hearing it.
My Top 5 Hit-Bound Picks
#5: Jonas Brothers - Sucker
#4: YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Parker - 11 Minutes
#3: Panic! At The Disco - Dancing’s Not A Crime
#2: LSD/Lil Wayne - Genius
#1: Lauv/Troye Sivan - i’m so tired…
What I Voted For For Next Week: Lauv/Troye Sivan - i’m so tired…
I’ve Been Blurbing
I put the Blurbs here because I wanted to talk about Gesaffelstein/The Weeknd - Lost In The Fire and Rita Ora - Let You Love Me failing to debut. I don’t think their times were up, and they should’ve stayed much longer than that. I hope they give them a second chance, but I don’t have high hopes.
The Last Of The Real Ones surprisingly dropped down to the bottom 5, but, honestly this one was getting kind of old so this was due.
You Say is not doing well. I’m kind of sad ‘cause I think it’s great. I don’t know why it’s failing, but I wish it would jump back up again.
365, Miss Me More and Please Me all jumped up quite a bit. I’m happy for two of them and not for the other. Hopefully, you can figure out which is which.
I wish Hits 1 would give Shallow another chance. It’s doing well everywhere else, and I’m sad it’s not on Hits 1 anymore.
Let Me Down Slowly jumped up to #4, and I have to say, why? This song is just not good. Why do people like it so much?
We lost 2 songs. Zara Larsson - Ruin My Life and Charli XCX/Troye Sivan - 1999. Ruin My Life was decent, but I didn’t really care about it. 1999 was crap, so…
