Knox- Change Your Mind

Well, only two debuts this week, makes my life a lot easier. First up is a new song from Jelly Roll after Save Me thankfully never did jack shit on here. This is called I Am Not Okay, and it's safe to say this is better than that song, however, it is still a bit slow. At least there is some production here unlike in The End, and the lyrics are a bit assuring. So overall, not great, but tolerable.

So... does anyone remember Isabel LaRosa from her 2022 song I'm Yours? If not, I don't exactly blame you, because I forgot how that song goes myself. Well anyways, she's back with Favorite, and this is a lot better. For one, I'm convinced this samples Con Altura by Rosalia, J Balvin, and El Guincho (for those that don't know, that was a reggaeton song from 2019). The Beats to both songs sound quite similar, so of course this (Favorite) is a catchy song and Isabel LaRosa sounds quite good, although I'm not a huge fan of the breathy vocal effects in the hook. But overall quite an improvement over her previous song on here.

We lost Please Please Please and Whoops, both of which are in the abyss and could debut next week.

Blurbs:

Our exits were Saturn and We Can't Be Friends. Surprised by Saturn leaving but I'm totally cool with that as it isn't that great. And We Can't Be Friends had a great run, but The Boy Is Mine is now here and is better, so I have no complaints about the exits.

Miles On It really shouldn't have dropped five spots.

Umm... why is the most underwhelming Twenty One Pilots song ever jumping six spots off its debut?

At Least Houdini got an even bigger jump off its debut. I'm glad we're making this as huge as it is.

How is I Can Do It With A Broken Heart still in the top 15 when it hasn't been on the airplay chart in fucking weeks? It should be gone by now.

Looks like Fortnight won't be hitting #1. :relieved:

As much as I still like Too Sweet, I think it's about time for a new #1 on here. It definitely won't be Obsessed due to decrease in airplay, but I probably see Espresso hitting #1 here, if yes, only for a few weeks please.

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