#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Rhodes- The Love I Give

No debuts, but we do have a couple re-entries from Touch by Katseye and Forever Young by David Guetta, Alphaville, and Ava Max. Not sure why Touch re-entered as it has started to fade on me, but I am obviously very happy that Forever Young re-entered, and if you saw my best list for 2024, you'll know why.

Hitbound:

The Marias- No One Noticed

Rosé- Drinks Or Coffee (Debut)

Almost Monday- Can't Slow Down

Sza- BMF (Debut)

Dasha- Bye Bye Bye (Re-entry)

Jonah Marais/ Ryan Lewis- Slow Motion

Kesha- Delusional (Debut)

Raye- Oscar Winning Tears

Balu Brigada- So Cold

Griff- Last Night's Mascara

Twenty One Pilots- The Line

Twice/ Megan Thee Stallion- Strategy

Lola Young- Messy

Sza- Drive

Crash Adams- Optimist

Nessa Barrett/ Artemas- Mustang Baby

Oh boy... I have yet another song from Rosé's debut album to talk about, this one being Drinks Or Coffee. Tbh, aside from APT, this might be my favorite from that album, mostly because it's more upbeat than the previous two Rosé songs I talked about, plus the lyrics are interesting. I'm fine with this on here.

And then we have two Sza songs on here, the new one being BMF. This is tolerable. It has a better beat than certain other songs she did, plus, she sounds pretty good here, it's just a bit forgettable. So I'll honestly take it.

For whatever fucked up reason, Bye Bye Bye by Dasha re-entered... this really didn't need to happen, period.

Lastly, we have Kesha's latest, Delusional. This is quite good, and I agree that it has somewhat of the vibes of her earlier music. Also, I like how this reflects on a relationship that never worked, so yeah, another solid song from her.

We lost Toxic Til The End, Heartbreaker From Tennessee, Good Old Days, and Sip. Guess how many of those I'm going to miss? NONE.

Blurbs:

Our exits were Disease and Wildflower. I'm a bit surprised that Disease is out already, although it's not really among my favorite songs right now. And Wildflower is likely done for good this time, and I'm fine with that.

Why is I Love You I'm Sorry already flopping?

Great seeing Love Somebody rebounding. I'd love to see this continue jumping.

That's So True finally jumped huge, I was sort of expecting this.

Not a whole lot of movement in the top 10...

...aside from the fact that Die With A Smile overtook the #1 spot again. Hopefully Taste is in freefall after this, it's apparently in the bottom 5 in airplay. Again, I'm not sure how long this will last, hopefully APT makes it to #1 soon.

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