Justin Bieber surprise dropped a new album recently, and from it, we have Daisies, which is projected to be the song that debuts the highest on the hot 100. This is kind of cool. The swung beat is kind of cool and Justin Bieber sounds quite good per usual. Good to see him back.

MGK brings us another song this week, this is called Vampire Diaries. I'm gonna be honest, this might be my favorite song that he has put out recently. The pop punk production is really fun and MGK delivers one of his better vocal performances, plus, this is in the right key for this kind of song. I hope this is on the countdown soon.

So this Twitch streamer named JasonTheWeen has started making music, and he put out a new song with D4vd called Summer Uptown. Even I was surprised by how much I liked this. The beat gives off the proper summer song vibes and both of them sound pretty good, it's no surprise that D4vd does because I've heard songs from him before, but I was not expecting JasonTheWeen to sound as good as he does. Yeah, solid song, I'll definitely take it, no questions.

Lisa, Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo have all put out solo music within the past year, and now, all four of them have reunited for a new Blackpink song called Jump, with Diplo on production. Wow, this is really good for Blackpink standards, it might even be my favorite song from them. All four of them sound really good and Diplo's production is wild AF. Yeah, I'll easily take this as a Blackpink comeback single.

Looks like Hits 1 switched Gameboy by Katseye for a song of theirs that I believe is on the Hot 100, this is called Gabriela. This is solid. All of them sound pretty good and the beat is all right. It's just a bit forgettable though. It's fine.

Thomas Day brings his third song to Hitbound, this is called She Got A Thing About Her. This is a pretty good song, to my surprise. It has a similar beat and tempo to Daisies by Justin Bieber which I talked about earlier, and Thomas Day sounds pretty good here. Ok then.

AJR have a new EP coming out soon, and from it, we have Betty. Between this and Yung Gravy's song of the same title, I can't exactly decide which one is better because both of them are equally good in their own right. And as for AJR's song, this has a decent beat and Jack Met sounds pretty good per usual, and this seems to be about wanting to make a relationship, specifically one with a girl named Betty, work out. So yeah, I'm excited for this EP, if this song is any indication.

Lastly, we have a new song from Conan Gray called Vodka Cranberry. This is fine. It feels somewhat slow, but there is a decent beat. It also reminds me of his 2020/ 2021 songs. Plus, he sounds pretty good. So, decent enough.

We lost The One, The Contract, Gameboy (as previously mentioned), Suckerpunch, Touch Me Like A Gangster, Mr Electric Blue, IRL, and Shapeshifter. The first two are in the abyss, I believe, so I hope they debut soon. I wish that Suckerpunch had debuted, and I don't mind the rest of them leaving.

Blurbs:
Ok, Nokia can never be #30 ever again.

Surprised Just Keep Watching dropped huge, but there are better F1 songs out there.

Survive and On My Mind both jumped four spots off their debuts from last week... more happy about the latter than the former.

What I Want is finally in the top 20.

Looks like Anxiety is on its way out. Can't complain too much, it had a good run on here.

Abracadabra also seems to be on its way out as well.

Busy Woman finally fell out of the top 10. Keep dropping.

Unfortunately, that opened the door for its literal clone to hit #3. We really didn't need this.

Thankfully, Azizam, rebounded to #2. If this could hit #1 bfore Manchile, I would greatly appreciate that.

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