All right, we're back at it, for real this time. Here is our lone exit:

1. Hozier- Too Sweet (=)

It's about time A Bar Song was on here.

It was also about time Million Dollar Baby was on here, and it replaced Agora Hills last week, which is a W.

A bit surprised at Obsessed dropping huge, given that I don't normally keep track of where songs are positioned on mediabase.

When does Lose Control get replaced by The Door?

Last week, they switched to the Mariah Carey remix of Made For Me, which is also pretty good.

Glad they're recognizing I Had Some Help as a hit.

Last week, Too Sweet hit #1, these past two weeks mark the first weeks I can think of where the #1 here and the #1 on Hits 1 were the same #1.

Throwbacks (this week):

Orianthi- According To You (2009)

Avicii- Hey Brother (2013)

Nicki Minaj- Right Thru Me (2010)

La Roux- Bulletproof (2010)

Ciara/ Missy Elliot- 1 2 Step (2004)

Ne Yo- Miss Independent (2008)

Sir Mix A Lot- Baby Got Back (1992)

Owl City- Fireflies (2009)

Dua Lipa- New Rules (2017)

Chamillionaire/ Krayzie Bone- Ridin (2005)

Fall Out Boy- Sugar We're Goin Down (2005)

Pussycat Dolls/ Snoop Dogg- Buttons (2006)

Rihanna/ Jay Z- Umbrella (2007)

According To You kind of slaps. Hey Brother is my favorite Avicii song. Right Thru Me isn't as good as other Pink Friday songs, like Moment 4 Life and Super Bass. Bulletproof feels moderately generic. 1 2 Step is fun. Miss Independent is a bit too slow. Baby Got Back is fun but I prefer Anaconda by Nicki Minaj, which samples it. Fireflies is super enjoyable. New Rules is among my favorite Dua Lipa songs. Ridin slaps so fucking hard. Sugar We're Goin Down is a nostalgic FOB song. Buttons is moderately forgettable. And I don't understand the appeal of Umbrella at all, plus I heard it a lot at work three years ago.

And here's last week's list of throwbacks, which I won't be reviewing:

Kelly Rowland/ Lil Wayne- Motivation (2011)

Masked Wolf- Astronaut In The Ocean (2021)

Childish Gambino- Redbone (2017)

Yellowcard- Ocean Avenue (2003)

Inner City- Good Life (1989)

Big Sean/ E40- IDFWU (2014)

Kali Uchis- Telepatia (2021)

Miley Cyrus- Malibu (2017)

Soul For Real- Candy Rain (1994)

Raymix- Oye Mujer (2015)

French Montana/ Swae Lee- Unforgettable (2017)

Christina Aguilera/ Redman- Dirrty (2002)

Madonna- Vogue (1990)

And that does it for me this week, and I promise these will be out more regularly than I did last week.
