My Favorite Song Last Year: MGK/ Jelly Roll- Lonely Road
My Favorite Song Two Years Ago: Lil Durk/ Morgan Wallen- Stand By Me
#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Regard/ Tayna- Piece Of Me
Up first, we have Ed Sheeran's latest song, A Little More. This has to be my favorite song from his album Play thus far. It's rather catchy (and in Bb major, might I add) and he sounds pretty good throughout, and then there's that rap verse where he sounds almost exactly like Central Cee. So yeah, great song, I hope this has at least some success.
And then for some ungodly reason, fucking Party 4 U by Charli XCX re-entered. Uncalled for.

Crash Adams- New Heart
Up first, Maroon 5 put out their new album Love Is Like, and from it, we have the title track with Lil Wayne. This is pretty good. It has a pretty fun beat and Adam Levine sounds pretty good, and I think Lil Wayne's verse goes well in this. Fun song.
Conan Gray also put out a new album recently, and from that, we have Caramel. This is pretty good as well. It has a solid beat and Conan Gray sounds pretty good, this feels somewhat forgettable but it definitely has the tendency to grow on me.
Well, I haven't heard from Claire Rosinkranz in a hot minute. She now has a song called Dancer, and this is rather fun. The beat is cool and she sounds pretty good here. That's all I need to say here.
Zara Larsson is also back, and her new song is called Crush. This is quite good, although I prefer Pretty Ugly from earlier this year. The beat is fun and Zara Larsson sounds pretty good, and the lyrics seem to be out having a huge crush on somebody. So yeah, fun song.
Audrey Hobert just put out her new album, and from it, we have Thirst Trap. I have been impressed by the songs she has written for herself thus far, and this is no exception. This has the best production jobs on her songs and she once again sounds pretty good. Glad I continued listening to her music.
And we're saving the best for last. This is a collaboration between Disco Lines and Tinashe called No Broke Boys, which is a remix of Tinashe's song with that title from last year. I've made it clear I like Tinashe EDM songs, and this is also quite good. Disco Lines did a great job producing and Tinashe sounds quite good here per usual. I'm glad this is becoming somewhat of a hit.
We lost Fast, You'd Like That Wouldn't You, Remember When, Wet Hair, and California. Fast is in the abyss, and the other four I'm fine with leaving, with the last two being replaced by better songs from the artists. Yes, Wet Hair was starting to fade on me.
Blurbs:
Our exits were Hot Girl Problems and Busy Woman. I wish Hot Girl Problems had lasted more than a week, but hey, at least it's in the abyss. And Busy Woman is finally gone, this is easily the top contender for my least favorite song of 2025.
Can Nice To Each Other be nice to us and just leave instead of rotting in the bottom two?
If Blue Strips would also leave, that would be great.
Survive made a shocking fall, but I'm more neutral about that.
Just Keep Watching made a decent jump off the re-entry.
What I Want is slowly but surely making its way up the chart.
Golden being in the top 10 is definitely something I'll take, I think this might be growing on me.
And thankfully, Manchild got dethroned from #1 again, this time by Undressed. Yeah, overall, I'm perfectly fine with this being #1 and I'm glad we're starting to make Sombr a thing. Hopefully, Manchild never goes back to #1.
I guess that does it for me this week, see you guys... hopefully tomorrow.
