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

April 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-

First airing at 7am today (Week of 4/13/2024)

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

Apparently, this week's countdown came out a day early (Week of 4/6/2024)

Hello everyone, welcome to a countdown post that is a day early. Apparently, the countdown got leaked early on the app... cool. On another topic, I'm extending the deadline for the Countdown Extras rankdown another week as I only have five submissions counting my own. And a new announcement: we are about a month from my two year anniversary, and I'm once again doing a huge package for my anniversary, which will involve four countdown recreations, these will be for September 8th, 2018, June 27th, 2015, June 6th, 2020 but if it had 45 songs (this was the week after the countdown got shortened), and September 29th, 2007. Let's just get into this week's countdown, here are the songs that left: Tate McRae- Greedy (#18 last week) Jack Harlow- Lovin On Me (#24 last week) AJR- Yes I'm A Mess (#11 last week) Countdown: 30. Benson Boone- Slow It Down (Debut) 29. Olivia Rodrigo- So American (Debut) 28. Hozier- Too Sweet (Debut) 27. Meghan Trainor/ T Pain- Been Like This (+2)

No, the countdown did not get shortened to 20 songs, and Houdini did not hold on to the #1 (Week of 3/30/2024)

March 31, 2024

Hello everyone, welcome to another countdown post. Sorry this is late, I was busy with Easter this past weekend. This week was just about average, except Daniel and a few others made the most bizarre fake countdown I've ever seen, usually, fake countdowns have a new #1 usually disliked by other people in the server. But this fake countdown was shortened to 20 songs "due to Gen Z attention spans" and had Houdini at #1 for a 9th week in a row, whereas the real countdown had 30 songs and a new #1, which I will get into later. Let's just get into it, here are the songs that left: Tyla- Water (#16 last week) Ariana Grande- Yes And (#8 last week) Kenya Grace- Strangers (#10 last week) Countdown: 30. Shinedown- A Symptom Of Being Human (Debut) 29. Meghan Trainor/ T Pain- Been Like This (=) 28. Twenty One Pilots- Overcompensate (-2) 27. Usher- Kissing Strangers (+1) 26. Olivia Rodrigo- Obsessed (Debut) 25. Luke Hemmings- Shakes (+5) 24. Jack Harlow- Lovin On Me (-6) 23. Das

No, seriously, we need a new #1 next week (Week of 3/23/2024)

Hello everyone, it's the first weekend of March Madness edition. I still have only three submissions for my rankdown (not counting my own), so if you are planning on submitting, please get those in.

Let's just go over the songs that left: Jungkook- Standing Next To You (#16 last week) Olivia Rodrigo- Get Him Back (#8 last week) Countdown: 30. Luke Hemmings- Shakes (Debut) 29. Meghan Trainor/ T Pain- Been Like This (Debut) 28. Usher- Kissing Strangers (-2) 27. Madison Beer- Make You Mine (=) 26. Twenty One Pilots- Overcompensate (+4) 25. Selena Gomez- Love On (-2) 24.
