Wow, 14 recommendations this week. A new record for most songs recommended by anyone.

Ok, now on to the songs that debuted, actually there is one debut and one re-entry this week. We have Beyonce's latest song Break My Soul. Apparently, she is trying to do a dance song here, and that is working out well because EDM needs to be revived. Anyways, I like this one quite a bit. She sounds great throughout, and the dance production is super catchy. I hope this and Drake's Honestly Nevermind album can fully revive EDM.

Lastly, Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez re-entered. Really happy that it's back.

Hitbound (not including Sunday Bests)

Blackbear- The Idea (Debut)

Joji- Glimpse Of Us

Devon Cole- Witch (Debut)

Jax- Victoria's Secret (Debut)

Muni Long/ Saweetie- Baby Boo

Dnce- Got Me Good (Debut)

Morgan Wallen- Wasted On You

Dixie- Someone To Blame (Debut)

Aespa- Life's Too Short

Conan Gray- Disaster

Dove Cameron- Breakfast

Saucy Santana/ Latto- Booty (Re-entry)

Charlotte Sands- Dress

Yung Gravy- Betty Get Money (Debut)

So first up, we have Blackbear's latest, The Idea. This is interesting. He sounds great and Barker's production is cool. It's not all that memorable though, but I will need to listen to this more.

We have newcomer Devon Cole up next with Witch, this is actually an acronym for Woman In Total Control Of Herself. This is super cool. She sounds interesting and the dance type production is super cool. I'd like to see this do well here.

Stop picking up Jax. She's not that relevant and no one really cares that much about her. But we have a new song from her today called Victoria's Secret. This is fine, she sounds good and the production is fine, but it's in F# major and that's the I'm least likely to like a song in. Also, I'm kind of with Trey on the lyrics in this song, he said everything I was going to say on it. Maybe we don't need this to do well. Also, why can't Hits 1 pick up on more Jax Jones instead?

Up next, we have more Dnce, this is called Got Me Good. I'm not that sold on this yet, but it's still good. Joe Jonas sounds good and the production is interesting, but not really screaming Dnce like in songs like Cake By The Ocean or Move. Nothing too horrible, though.

Stop picking up Dixie. She's not that relevant and no one really cares that much about her. Notice how I started this blurb and the one on Victoria's Secret the same? I was inspired by Waffle starting his reviews of She Luv Me, Angry Woman, and Disaster exactly the same. Similarly to him on Tai Verdes, Ashe, and Conan Gray, I have heard multiple Jax or Dixie songs on Hitbound and none of them were that great except One Whole Day by Dixie and Wiz Khalifa. As for this new Dixie song, it's all right. She sounds fine, and the slower pop punk is decent, but we really don't need anymore Dixie on here, now do we?

Booty by Saucy Santana and Latto re-entered. It's grown on me a decent bit, so I'm glad to see it back.

Guys, we have been rickrolled here. This final debut is by Yung Gravy and samples Rick Astley's song Never Gonna Give You Up and the chorus here is to the tune of that song too. I really like his accent here and this whole song reminds me a little bit of Jiggle Jiggle by Duke & Jones and Louis Theroux. I really hope this does well unlike how that song did.

We lost Don't You Worry, Twinkle Twinkle Little B****, Bois Lie, A Letter To Me, Die First, and Angry Woman. Don't You Worry is in the abyss so hopefully it debuts next week. I don't know why Twinkle Twinkle Little B**** could not debut unlike its super bad predecessor, and I'm completely fine with the rest of the dropouts leaving.

I should also explain why I don't like Dress now. I saw in the discord that the lyrics were about Harry Styles, and you know I hate him and I'm tired of girls I know gushing over him, and I can't believe there would ever be a song about him.

Blurbs:

We lost Hold My Hand and Bam Bam. I'm fine with both of these, Hold My Hand was pretty mediocre and while I liked Bam Bam, it's been here for a long time, so it makes sense that it's gone.

I really don't know why we need to make So Good a thing or why it climbed four spots.

At least I Like You is now in the top 20 now.

Also great to see Devil Doesn't Bargain climbing six spots to #19.

Not entirely sure why Me Myself & I fell five spots. It's a great song even though G Eazy and Bebe Rexha's song of the same name is still better.

Out Of Time also fell five spots to #14. I hope it can rebound. 

Speaking of rebounding, Potion is now at #12. Wooh!

Ayy nice to see Supermodel and Maybe You're The Problem jumping into top 10.

So you might be wondering why 10 Things I Hate About You is my least favorite song this week instead of Ass It Was. Simply because Leah Kate's much better song dropped out of Hitbound this week and by sheer coincidence, Ass It Was is no longer #1 this week. You heard that right everybody. Ass It Was is not going to break Shivers' record for most weeks at #1. It is down to #2, and hopefully it continues falling in the coming weeks.

And our new #1 is... drum roll please... Sunroof! WOOH! I never thought this song would ever be #1 on here but it is a great song so I'm super stoked that it is #1 this week. And the fact that it dethroned Ass It Was of all things is even more impressive. Let's keep this song at #1 for three more weeks, it's a great song that deserves all the success it gets.

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