#1 Two Years Ago: All Time Low/ Blackbear/ Demi Lovato- Monsters

My Favorite Song Last Year: Pitbull/ Anthony Watts/ DJWS- I Feel Good

My Favorite Song Two Years Ago: Lil Nas X- Holiday

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Lost Frequencies/ Elley Duhe/ X Ambassadors- Back To You

First up is Crepin by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, and 21 Savage, which apparently interpolates I Don't Wanna Know by Mario Winans from 2004, which I never heard of before. That does not change my opinion on the song at all. This has cool production from Metro Boomin and The Weeknd sounds great in this, and 21 Savage delivers a great verse like he usually does. I hope this can last longer than one week.

Our other debut is Nobody Gets Me by Sza. I still haven't listened to her album SOS yet but this is defiitely one of the weaker ones. She sounds fine, but it is a bit slow for my liking. I don't want this to stick around for too long, because this could get fairly annoying.

Hitbound (not including Sunday Bests)

Joji- Die For You

Kate Peytavin- Ever Fallin

Ava Max- Weapons

Lizzo- Special

Loud Luxury/ Kiddo- These Nights

Alec Benjamin- Paper Crown

Lewis Capaldi- Pointless

Raye/ 070 Shake- Escapism

Renee Rapp- Too Well

Martin Garrix/ Jvke- Hero

Lila Drew- Used To

Sza- Kill Bill (Debut)

Regard/ Drop G- No Love For You

Jordi- Hate You

Nicki Minaj/ Maluma/ Myriam Fares- Tukoh Taka

One debut this week, and it's another track off Sza's SOS album, this time, it's Kill Bill. This is kind of cool. The production makes more sense than those on the other SOS songs so far. She also sounds great here. Interesting song.

No dropouts this week, which is very uncommon these days.

Also, Escapism is getting pretty annoying for me.

Blurbs

Our exits were Lift Me Up and Fmk. I'm perfectly fine Lift Me Up leaving after jumping huge a couple weeks ago, it's super slow. Then Fmk was good, but not great for Gayle or Blackbear standards.

When will Left And Right and I Like You leave? It's honestly as though Jackie Reed is forgetting those two songs are still on the countdown. Still good songs though.

At least Calm Down is jumping. Progress.

Ok good. Enough rebounded.

Seriously. Cuff It does not need to be in the top 15.

So far, Lavender Haze is following Love Story (Taylor's Version)'s run, as in it debuted at #11 then fell to #13 the following week. Keep falling. We need a lot less Taylor Swift on here than we already have.

Sweet. I'm Good jumped back to #3. I hope this dethrones Anti Hero next week.

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