Alex Warren- Carry You Home

Only two debuts this week, should be easy to do. Up first is Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richman. I have no idea how this blew up, but I'm forever grateful that it did. This is a complete banger. It has such a fun beat and Tommy Richman sounds quite great throughout, even when he's singing in falsetto. This is definitely making my 2024 best list.

Our other debut is also a banger, as after eight weeks in Hitbound, I Don't Wanna Wait by David Guetta and OneRepublic finally makes its way on to the countdown. This is fire on all levels. David Guetta once again did a great job producing and Ryan Tedder sounds great like he normally does. Hopefully this doesn't flop too hard.

Up first, we have a new song from Imagine Dragons called Nice To Meet You. This is pretty good. I like the retro type production here, it's moderately different for them in a good way and Dan Reynolds sounds quite good per usual. Fun song.

Ok, this next song is quite legendary. It's worth mentioning that Eminem's earlier music is quite legendary (notably My Name Is, The Real Slim Shady, Stan, and Without Me, and the last two were made especially legendary thanks to Pete Davidson parodying them on SNL). Well, he's now back with the lead single to his upcoming twelfth album The Death Of Slim Shady called Houdini. And this is amazing. It completely resembles classic Eminem music in a good way, and I especially like the callback to Without Me at the beginning. It's also very interesting when he makes random references and does a good job with that here (although he went a little bit too far with the reference to Megan Thee Stallion getting shot). But aside from that, amazing Slim Shady banger.

Our next debut comes from Meghan Trainor and actress Niecy Nash, this is called I Wanna Thank Me. This is solid. It has amazing lyrics and is well produced, and Meghan Trainor sounds great as always. Although Niecy Nash only does a spoken intro that was completely unnecessary. But it's cool.

Our last debut comes from Pink Pantheress, her new song is called Turn It Up. This feels a little bit that what I've recently heard from her, it has a interesting trap type beat and it goes surprisingly well with her voice, and she once again sounds pretty good. Although I'm still not entirely sold here yet, it could indeed click on me soon.

We lost Up and Baby Blue Bathing Suit. Up deserved better and Baby Blue Bathing was ruined by the key change at the end.

Blurbs:

Our exits were I Like The Way You Kiss Me and Feel It. I'm glad we finally realized I Like The Way You Kiss Me was bad, and Feel It was sort of robbed as it was growing on me.

Amazing to see Miles On It jumping off its debut.

Looks like Beautiful Things is on its way out. But it had a really great run here and hit #1, so I can't complain too much.

Completely appropriate that Good Luck Babe jumped during pride month.

Looks like we are indeed making I Had Some Help a thing, which is great to see. Hopefully, it forces Fortnight off the charts.

I see Slow It Down is on track to replicate Beautiful Things's success.

That's mostly it, aside from Fortnight still getting blocked from the top 3 and Too Sweet still being #1. If Fortnight does eventually hit #1, I hope Obsessed or Espresso can make it there first.

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