My Favorite Song Last Year: Regard/ Troye Sivan/ Tate Mcrae- You

My Favorite Song Two Years Ago: Black Eyed Peas/ J Balvin- Ritmo and Regard- Ride It

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Lost Frequencies/ James Arthur- Questions

Our First debut is Potion by Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, and Young Thug.I really like this. It reminds me of Levitating from last year a little bit. Both Dua and Thug sound good here, and Calvin Harris's production is really cool. I want to see this do well.

Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez is up next, and I moved this up a tier from last week. I still think it would be better remixed, but Stephen Sanchez sounds good here and the lyrics are really enlightening here. I'm glad this is on the countdown.

So I don't think I have ever spoken about this next song before, Get Into It Yuh by Doja Cat. This is pretty cool, probably not as good as Woman, though. Doja sounds good, and the production is really interesting. I guess I'm glad this is here.

Ok I'm tired of pretending I hate this next song, Late Night Talking by everyone's favorite clown, Harry Styles. This would have been really great if it were by Dnce, Years & Years, or Justin Bieber, but it is by Harry Styles so I only find it in the lower spectrum of the decent tier. Hits 1, please don't overrate this...

And finally, I want to talk about this week's countdown extra, Jiggle Jiggle by Duke & Jones and Louis Theroux. I have heard many funny songs over the years, for example, last year, we had Goosebumps by Travis Scott and Hvme and The Business by Tiesto the rapper, and we had Pushin P by Gunna, Future, and Young Thug earlier this year. I find all three of those songs really funny (and if I find a song funny, I am guaranteed to like it), but not as funny as this song, Jiggle Jiggle. So essentially Louis Theroux is actually a journalist from the UK, which just makes it all the more funnier. You can hear his British accent really well, and the way he says Jiggle Jiggle along to Duke & Jones' production just makes me crack up really hard. I hope this debuts.

Hitbound (not including Sunday Bests)

Conor Maynard- Pgnl

Mimi Webb- Goodbye (Debut)

88Rising/ Bibi- Best Lover

Post Malone- Wrapped Around Your Finger (Debut)

Tate Mcrae- Don't Come Back

Mabel/ 24kgoldn- Overthinking

Panic At The Disco- Viva Las Vengeance (Debut)

Em Beihold- Too Precious

Blackbear/ MGK- Gfy

Alec Benjamin- Devil Doesn't Bargain (Debut)

Dixie- Wild

Amelia Moore-I Feel Everything (Debut)

Lawrence- Don't Lose Sight (pls just go away already)

Dermot Kennedy- Something To Someone (Debut)

Madeline The Person- Mean

Maggie Rogers- Want Want (Debut)

Ok did we really need ANOTHER Mimi Webb song on here? No, we did not. But unfortunately, we have one, Goodbye. I really hated Good Without from last year, and this new song is just as bad. It's a ballad, which I would be fine with if it were someone like Benson Boone, but we're talking about Mimi Webb here, and she just can't sell a ballad well. Also, she doesn't sound good here. I hope this drops out.

Next up we have a random track off Post Malone's new album 12 Carat Toothache. I already talked about this here, so click this link to see a full review. 

Panic At The Disco is back with a new song after almost three years, Viva Las Vengeance. I want to like this more since the production is kind of cool and he sounds good here, but the consistent key changes in between the verses and the chorus keep distracting me. I guess I'd be fine with this debuting.

I realize I've never talked about Alec Benjamin on here before, but today, he brings us Devil Doesn't Bargain. I kind of like this. I've always liked his accent, and he sounds good here too. The production is also kind of fun. I hope this debuts but I'd be fine if it didn't because it's not that special.

These next three songs are all by artists who are making their debuts on Hits 1, starting with I Feel Everything by Amelia Moore. This is really interesting. She sounds like a cross between Tate Mcrae and Ariana Grande, and we also have cool production here. Could this be the next one to watch? We'll see, and if so, I will happily take this over 10 Things I Hate About You.

Something to Someone by Dermot Kennedy is up next. I'm not feeling this one right now, but I definitely don't hate it either. This sounds as though someone put energy into a Clinton Kane song since he sounds sort of like Clinton Kane here. Not sure what is going with the production here but it I feel that is what is preventing a higher ranking from me.

Finally, we have Want Want by Maggie Rogers. This is kind of cool. Did Barker produce this? Because it sounds as though he did. But the production is cool regardless, it makes this song sound like a better version of T r a n s p a r e n t S o u l by Willow and Barker from last year. Also, Maggie Rogers sounds good here. I'd like this to become a hit here.

We lost Will It Ever Feel The Same, No One Dies From Love, and 100 Sad Songs. I guess I'm fine with all three of these going, they were never that memorable.

Blurbs

Our exits were Complete Mess, Love It When You Hate Me, Freaky Deaky, and Move. I really wish Move had lasted a lot longer, especially after its eight spot jump a couple weeks ago, but I'm fine with the rest: Complete Mess was not good, so I'm glad that that's finally gone, Love It When You Hate Me was already on its way out and lasted a long enough time, and Freaky Deaky did well on Hits 1 for a Tyga song.

Supermodel finally jumped from #30 last week. please don't leave next week please don't leave next week please don't leave next week...

Cooped Up is now out of the bottom 5. Good to see that.

Yeah this is definitely Enemy's last week here, as it fell another 6 spots to #24 this week.

Could First Class please crack the top 15 next week at least?

OK WHY DID FLOWERS JUMP TO #19 THIS SONG IS NOT GOOD AT ALL PLEASE JUST LEAVE ALREADY

At least 10 Things I Hate About You fell a little bit this week.

Sunroof is now in the top 10. Glad this is here.

Guess Sweetest Pie lost whatever shot it had at dethroning Ass It Was. However, we have two new contenders for the next #1, as 2 Step jumps to #4 and About Damn Time jumps to #2. One of these needs to dethrone Ass It Was next week, I don't care which one, it will be someone's first ever #1 on here, either Lil Baby or Lizzo.

I guess that does it for me this week, see you guys next week.
