Only one debut this week, and it's Doja Cat's latest, Jealous Type. This has got to be among her better songs. The 80s type beat is quite good and Doja Cat sounds pretty good over it. Yeah, I'd call this worth the wait.

Maeve- We're Not Together

MGK- Can't Stay Here

Dasha- Like It Like That

Thomas Day- She Got A Thing About Her

Claire Rosinkranz- Dancer

Only three debuts this week. Not too bad. Unfortunately, we have to start off with more Sabrina Carpenter... but in all honesty, this isn't all that bad. The beat isn't all that bad, as in it doesn't make the song sound like a carbon copy of Busy Woman or Manchild, and Sabrina Carpenter sounds pretty good, my real issue is this struggles to find what key to stay in, and this is usually an issue I have. So not bad, but could've been better. Especially compared to...

(trying not to laugh hysterically while typing this) So a new movie with Eminem was released called Stans, and the soundtrack contains this next song from him, Everybody's Looking At Me. Ok guys, this is iconic as fuck. I always love it when he spits out the most bizarre bars ever as Slim Shady, and the lyrics are iconic here too, especially when he name drops Marilyn Manson in the first verse, that's a completely random reference. His flow is completely on point, and the production from Dr Dre makes this as iconic as it should be. Fire banger, glad this made its way into Stans.

Lastly, we have a new song from Knox called White Knuckles. This is yet another great song from him. He once again sounds pretty good and it has a great beat. That's all I need to say here.

We lost Crush and Dumb Girl. Crush was solid enough and good riddance to Dumb Girl.

Blurbs:

Our lone exit was Nice To Each Other. Not sure what the purpose of this song being here was when it did absolutely nothing and wasn't a thing anywhere else. Although I heard another Olivia Dean song debuted the hot 100.

No why did Jump fall back a few spots?

Great to see Love Is Like jumping off the debut.

Seems like Ordinary is on its way out. But I can't complain too much, it had a good run.

Looks like Daisies finally made the top 15.

On My Mind finally made a huge jump into the top 10.

Golden has now made it to #4. It will be interesting to see if this ends up making #1.

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