Panic! At The Disco (3)

Big news! Sometime near the end of the year, I’m going to a Chainsmokers concert! I will most likely be doing a review of the performance. I’m not quite sure how it will work, because they’re deejays, but I mean, maybe they’ll just be doing songs where Drew Taggart sings, but that would leave out a lot of their big hits like Something Just Like This, Don’t Let Me Down and Hope, but… we’ll see! Anyways, we got 7 songs this week so let’s jump into it!

Last Year’s #1: Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle (3rd week at #1)

#1: Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It (-) (3rd week at #1)

Alright, so I'm not even sure who this person is or why this debuted, but Kelsey Karter - Harry debuted this week. This song is just absolute crap. For most of the time, she's just yelling and none of it sounds good.

On a better note, Shallow re-entered the countdown this week. I was really missing this song and I am so glad it's back. It couldn't have been better timing too because this song is pretty big right now. I just love this song in every way. I wish it the best second try.

Madison Beer comes back with Hurts Like Hell. This song is… decent I guess. We didn't get a great lineup this week with debuts. There’s just not much to say about it… well the next one is better, so let’s just skip to that one.

Coming in at #35, is Genius by LSD and Lil Wayne. I really like this song. Every time it comes on, I just find myself jamming to it. I really like these guys and the song is just really good in a lot of ways.

Can somebody tell me why Hits 1 keeps picking up country? I mean, we can keep like, Dan + Shay but when we get crap like GIRL by Maren Morris I ask myself why country exists at all. Geez GIRL, you've got me questioning the existences of things.

I don't really like Meghan Trainor. I just find her songs boring. ALL THE WAYS is no exception. It's just not interesting at all.

YUNGBLUD/Halsey/Travis Barker - 11 Minutes is next. I think both Halsey and Travis sound really great in this. It's really catchy and my only problem with it is the 30 second long outro where Halsey sounds terrible but whatever.

Best Debut/Re-Entry: Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow

Biggest DROP!!!: Sabrina Carpenter - Sue Me (-11): Whatever. I couldn't care less about this song and how it does. It just isn't appealing at all.

Biggest Jump: Dean Lewis - Be Alright: I’m so glad this song is doing so well. It's so great and deserves every bit of success it's getting.

ALL THE BLURBS

We lost seven songs this week. Stephen Puth - S**ual Vibe, Seeb/Bastille - Grip, Lauren Daigle - You Say, Avril Lavigne - Tell Me It's Over, Limitless, Shotgun and broken. S**ual Vibe was pretty good and deserved better, Grip was great and deserved better, You Say was straight up AMAZING and deserved better, Tell Me It's Over was great and deserved better, Limitless was destined to die, Shotgun stayed for a SURPRISINGLY long time, and broken stayed for too long.

365 is flopping despite it being a great song.

Sunflower dropped out of the top 20. Whatever. It had it’s time and was destined to go soon.

7 rings has started dropping because of break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored. I hope this goes like thank u, next.

And Sucker jumped up to #2 on it’s second week! I'm so happy and I want it to go to the top

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

We got 2 great songs this week. The first one is some more Marshmello and Swedish band CHVRCHES with Here With Me. This one is really really good. I like it a lot and the vocals are good, the drop is good and just the production is overall great. I’d love to see this debut.

And next, we have Sweet But Psycho 2.0, So Am I by Ava Max. I kind of like this song, it’s super catchy, but my only problem is with why it’s so catchy. There’s no difference between this and Sweet But Psycho. That’s when you can tell when an artist is unoriginal, if they just copy themselves. I overall like the song, but it just feels like it’s been done before in Sweet But Psycho.
