Up first, we have Dasha's latest, Didn't I. I think I like this more than I like Austin. She once again sounds pretty good and it has a fun beat Fun song.
Oh boy, this next one is going to be interesting to talk about, and in neither a good nor a bad way. So for the first time since When I'm Gone with Alesso a couple years ago (if you're new here, I quite liked that song), Katy Perry is back with new music, this is called Woman's World. Apparently, people were worried about how this was going to turn out as Dr Luke was producing, and he's been involved in some controversies over the years while this song is supposed to be a female empowerment anthem. I wasn't too worried about that, since the last time I talked about Dr Luke was when he produced Stand By Me by Lil Durk and Morgan Wallen, which was my #1 song of 2023 (although I do agree that Dr Luke is an asshole). Now on to my opinion itself, it's way too underwhelming. Sure, Katy Perry sounds fine, and Dr Luke's production is solid, the song just can't decide what key it wants to be in and I feel like there's other songs I want to listen to whenever I hear this. I hope the rest of 143 is better than this, especially the one with 21 Savage.
Well thankfully, after that semi train wreck, we have a song from Eminem's new album The Death Of Slim Shady, this one being Somebody Save Me with Jelly Roll, and this samples Jelly Roll's song Save Me. Normally, I'd have a problem with that, but I don't. Ultimately, this samples Save Me in the same way the same way that Stan sampled Thank You by Dido, where he used the sampled song's first verse as the hook. So this kind of works, as the verses are about Eminem's past drug addictions preventing him from not being there for his daughters and wanting to apologize to them, and these verses are rapped over a beat similar to that of his song Lighters from 2011*. So yeah, all of this works, and I'm excited for what else The Death Of Slim Shady has on it.
*Lighters is by Bad Meets Evil, which Eminem is part of
And to finish out our list, we have two debuts by random newcomers, starting with Boys by FlowerOvLove. This is solid but not too memorable. I think she has an interesting voice and I like the beat this has, it's just a little bit forgettable. Not sure where this will go though.
And our final debut comes from Australian DJ Cyril, and this is his song Stumblin In, and Mitch said this is actually a remix of a song from 1979. I like how he modernized this, it has a good beat and the vocalists sound solid here, it feels a little bit generic and forgettable. It's okay though.
We lost Whiskey Whiskey, Genesis Part 2, Running Out Of Time, Summer So Hot, and Lights Out. Whiskey Whiskey is in the abyss, so hopefully, it debuts next week. Genesis Part 2was just there. Running Out Of Time was another Asse song that I have no intention of ever listening to again, and the last two probably should have debuted the countdown.
Blurbs:
I'm calling it, Hotel Party actually should have jumped 24 spots to #6 instead of holding on to the #30 spot.
360 dropped five spots. I honestly don't get the appeal to that album, so I'm fine with this.
Finally. Fortnight took a huge fall. Get the fuck out of here next week.
Houdini dropped more than Daniel had it dropping. I hope this makes somewhat of a recovery, pun semi intended.
Super happy that I Don't Wanna Wait is starting to get success.
And, of course, with Fortnight on its way out, that leaves the door open for I Can Do It With A Broken Heart to start doing well.
Not sure what the point of So American dropping huge last week was if it was just going to re-enter the top 10 again this week.
Yes! Good Luck Babe is now in the top 5! Hopefully, this hits #1 soon.
...and then the entire top 4 held their respective spots from last week. I think we need a new #1 next week, I Had Some Help and Good Luck Babe would be my top choices for the next #1.
I guess that does it for me this week, see you guys next week.
