Two Year Anniversary post (Week of 5/11/2024)

Image
  It's that time of year again, welcome to my two year anniversary post. I'd like to state that I'm also delaying my Radical Optimism album review to next week in addition to my countdown recreations. I've just been busy this past week with travelling. Now on to this countdown, it was a solid week, mainly due to our new #1 that I was kind of wanting to hit #1 for a couple weeks. Let's get into it, here are the songs that left: Beyonce- Texas Hold Em (#21 last week) Shinedown- A Symptom Of Being Human (#20 last week) Countdown:  30. Beyonce/ Miley Cyrus- II Most Wanted (=) 29. Artemas- I Like The Way You Kiss Me (Debut) 28. Twenty One Pilots- Backslide (+1) 27. Doja Cat- OkLoser (+1) 26. Glass Animals- Creatures In Heaven (-2) 25. Shaboozey- A Bar Song (Debut) 24. The Beaches- Blame Brett (+3) 23. Victoria Monet- On My Mama (+2) 22. Imagine Dragons- Eyes Closed (-4) 21. Taylor Swift- I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (+5) 20. Muni Long- Made For Me (+3) 19. Teddy Swims

First ever Electric Top 20 post (5/5/2024)

  Hello everyone. Well, as I've previously said, I will be reviewing the Electric Top 20 for the two weekends before my two year anniversary. Then this could become a recurring post depending on what time I have and if I feel like doing it. So if you don't know, the Electric Top 20 is a weekly top 20 pop hits countdown that Daniel, Tri, and I like to listen to in the discord that also throws in a few throwbacks, usually they are good, but also, there are some that I've never heard of. Let's just get into it, here is our lone exit: Justin Timberlake- Selfish (#20 last week) Countdown: 20. Djo- End Of Beginning (Debut) 19. Tate McRae- Greedy (-1) 18. Jelly Roll/ Lainey Wilson- Save Me (+1) 17. Sabrina Carpenter- Feather (=) 16. The Weeknd/ Jennie/ Lily Rose Depp- One Of The Girls (-3) 15. Nicki Minaj/ Lil Uzi Vert- Everybody (-4) 14. Hozier- Too Sweet (+1) 13. Taylor Swift/ Post Malone- Fortnight (+3) 12. Dua Lipa- Illusion (+2) 11. Renee Rapp/ Megan Thee Stallion- Not My

  Hello everyone, welcome to my post for the week before my two year anniversary. I have one quick announcement, I will be delaying the releases of the four countdown re-creations I planned on doing by one week as I am currently travelling, but the two Electric Top 20 posts and Radical Optimism album review should be out as scheduled. This was a moderately interesting week. Let's just get into it, here are the three songs that left: Renee Rapp/ Megan Thee Stallion- Not My Fault (#10 last week) Justin Timberlake- Selfish (#17 last week) Usher- Kissing Strangers (#21 last week) Countdown: 30. Beyonce/ Miley Cyrus- II Most Wanted (-1) 29. Twenty One Pilots- Backside (Debut) 28. Doja Cat- OkLoser (Debut) 27. The Beaches- Blame Brett (+3) 26.

The bittersweet type of movement (Week of 4/27/2023)

  Hello everyone, welcome back to... my first time ever posting in the last week of April (remember I took two weeks off last year while in Europe). So compared to last week, this was an improvement, notably none of the top 9 holding on to their spots from last week. It also wasn't that great, thanks to our one debut that I have a shit ton to say about. You've been warned. Let's just get into it, here is our lone exit: Luke Hemmings- Shakes (#23 last week) Countdown: 30. The Beaches- Blame Brett (=) 29. Beyonce/ Miley Cyrus- II Most Wanted (-9) 28. Glass Animals- Creatures In Heaven (-3) 27. Muni Long- Made For Me (+2) 26. Taylor Swift/ Post Malone- Fortnight (Debut) 25. Teddy Swims- The Door (+3) 24. Victoria Monet- On My Mama (+3) 23. Shinedown- A Symptom Of Being Human (-12) 22. Sabrina Carpenter- Espresso (=) 21. Usher- Kissing Strangers (+3) 20. Imagine Dragons- Eyes Closed (+1) 19. Dua Lipa- Illusion (+7) 18. Girl In Red- Too Much (-1) 17. Justin Timberlake- Selfish (

It went wrong in the final third (Week of 4/20/2024)

  Hello everyone, and happy 4/20 to those who celebrate (I don't, but I'm sure there are people reading this who do). This week started out promising, with 6 exits and and some decent jumps in the beginning but got boring fairly quickly, including the entire top 9 holding their respective positions from last week. Hitbound, meanwhile, is easier to talk about this week with only two debuts compared to 20 combined in the past two weeks, but one of them, I have too much to say about. You have been warned. All right, let's just get into it, here are our exits: Benson Boone- Slow It Down (#26 last week) Olivia Rodrigo- So American (#23 last week) Madison Beer- Make You Mine (#27 last week) Dua Lipa- Houdini (#10 last week) Selena Gomez- Love On (#12 last week) Twenty One Pilots- Overcompensate (#19 last week) Countdown: 30. The Beaches- Blame Brett (Debut) 29. Muni Long- Made For Me (Debut) 28. Teddy Swims- The Door (Debut) 27. Victoria Monet- On My Mama (Re-entry) 26. Dua Lipa-

  Hello everyone, I'm writing this two days after the Kelce brothers did their podcast live at UC (I unfortunately had to miss it due to homework). I still only have five submissions for my rankdown, so please, for the love of God, get those in if you haven't done so already. Also, for my two year anniversary, in addition to the four countdown recreations I previously announced I would be doing, I will be doing a couple Electric Top 20 posts, one for the anniversary weekend and one for the week before. If you don't know, the Electric Top 20 is a weekly countdown that Daniel, Tri, and I like to listen to every week. Now on to this week in Hits 1, here are the exits: Tate McRae- Exes (#5 last week) Taylor Swift- Is It Over Now (#12 last week) Teddy Swims- Lose Control (#19 last week) Countdown: 30. Glass Animals- Creatures In Heaven (Debut) 29. Beyonce/ Miley Cyrus- II Most Wanted (Debut) 28. Imagine Dragons- Eyes Closed (Debut) 27. Madison Beer- Make You Mine (-4) 26. Benson
