Recommendations For Hits 1: Yung Gravy- Clementine and Black Eyed Peas/ El Alfa/ Becky G- Tonight

First up, Make You Mine and Slow It Down both re-entered. No real opinion, Make You Mine has faded on me and Slow It Down still hasn't clicked yet.

On to actual debuts, starting with Feel It by D4vd coming in at #29. You'll notice I moved this up a tier from last week. Well, I think this is quite groovy and D4vd sounds a lot better than he did on Here With Me from about a year ago. Glad we saw this on here.

Our next debut is a fairly interesting collab. It's Camila Cabello and Lil Nas X on He Knows. This is an interesting song. The production is super fun and they both sound quite good Hopefully, this does better than any previous 2024 songs from them.

On the topic of interesting collabs, next up, we have Post Malone and Morgan Wallen on I Had Some Help. is quite good, definitely redeeming to me after Fortnight happened (and I will have some words to say about that song later on in this post, you've been warned). This is upbeat, like the two times Morgan Wallen featured on Lil Durk songs, and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen sound great here and have surprisingly great chemistry. I see this is on track to be a hit, and let's just hope it is.

Our final debut is the third single from Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine album, this is called The Boy Is Mine. And it's safe to say I like this more than Waffle does, in fact, it might be my favorite Eternal Sunshine track thus far. It's in Bb major, a key that I don't think she's used since Break Free 10 years ago, and that is my all time favorite song from her btw. Anyways, this (The Boy Is Mine has a cool beat and cool melodies. Fun song.

Yesterday, Billie Eilish dropped a new album, and I have two songs from it to talk about, starting with the actual single, Lunch. I'm not sure if it's just me or not, but this kind of gives off vibes of Bad Idea Right by Olivia Rodrigo, but in a more neutral way, definitely an improvement over What Was I Made For, though. I'd be fine with this on the countdown.

What I would not be okay with being on the countdown, however, is this "new" Henry Moodie song called Drunk Text, which, according to Zestpond, was released over a year ago. And yes, this is bad. He sounded better in Pick Up The Phone and this is super fucking slow, unlike either Billie Eilish song we have on here. I hope this isn't on here for too long.

Next up, we have a new song from Stephen Sanchez- it's been about a year since I last talked about him. Wow. On to the song, this starts off fine, the song is upbeat, but I'm completely distracted by the key change at the end, and that brings the song down a couple tiers from what it's probably supposed to be. It's fine, though.

And next up, we have this. It's a collaboration between Tyla, Gunna, and Jamaican rapper Skillibeng called Jump. This is such a fun song, I honestly like this more than Been Thinking and Water combined. She sounds quite good per usual and I quite like the contributions from Gunna and Skillibeng. Such a fun song, I hope it is a hit.

Up next, we have the other song from Billie Eilish's new album that I referenced a couple times already. This is called Birds Of A Feather, and it might be the better of the two. Zestpond said this is boring, but I don't exactly see that. It has a cool beat and she sounds pretty good. Solid song.

Our last debut comes from Charli XCX after Von Dutch from a couple months ago. I wouldn't exactly call this a party loop, the song is kind of catchy though. It's just on the forgettable side. Not too much of a problem though.

We lost Zombieland, Cold, and Come Back To Me. Zombieland was good but I never saw it doing anything. With Cold leaving, I hope Hits 1 finally realizes no one wants any Jessie Murph on here. And Come Back To Me is in the abyss, but hopefully, it never debuts.

Blurbs:

Our exits were Pick Up The Phone, Blame Brett, Creatures In Heaven, Too Much, Eyes Closed, and On My Mama. Pick Up The Phone was here for a while, but I'll take it over what he now has on HB. Blame Brett was an interesting song, Creatures In Heaven was growing on me, so I'm a little sad to see that go, Too Much was starting to fade on me, so I'm fine with that leaving, Eyes Closed got slightly robbed, and I'm not sure what the point of bringing On My Mama back if they weren't going to do shit with it.

That's a relief. II Most Wanted isn't at #30 again.

Super happy A Bar Song jumped a few spots off its debut?

Umm... why the fuck is I Like The Way You Kiss Me in the top 20 already?

I think Illusion and Training Season technically need to switch spots.'

NO! Why did Fortnight jump into the top 5? It's going to be #1 soon, isn't it?

Well I hope we're able to get Obsessed and/ or We Can't Be Friends to #1 before Fortnight gets there.

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