Freya Skye- Silent Treatment (Debut)

Lewis Capaldi- The Day That I Die

So first up, Alex Warren remixed Eternity with Gigi Perez. And this is as good as the original was, if not better. Gigi Perez's contributions work really well, and when she and Alex Warren sing the hook and bridge together, it just makes the song work the way it should. Guys, good job on this.

Next up we have Eurovision alum Freya Skye, who represented the UK in the 2022 edition, making her Hits 1 debut with Silent Treatment. This is pretty good. It has a pretty good beat to it and Freya Skye sounds pretty good. Also, the lyrics seem to be about getting ghosted (been there, done that). So yeah, solid song.

Our last song is from Role Model, this is called Writing's On The Wall. I like this one as well. This also has a solid beat and Role Model sounds good here. It also seems to be about the inability to let a hot but sort of toxic girl go. So yeah, Role Model made another banger.

We lost Sugar On My Tongue and Made Me A Man. I'm pretty sure Sugar On My Tongue is an actual hit, so I'm not sure why it spent a long time on Hitbound and never debuted. And it's Made Me A Man that's in the abyss instead... oh god, that probably shouldn't debut.

Blurbs:

Not a lot happened this week, it mostly consisted of 1 to 2 spot jumps and drops.

Seems like they finally figured out that First Original Thought won't be huge.

Also interesting to see 12 To 12 now in the top 10.

But aside from that, the only other movement in the top 10 was Back To Friends and Where Is My Husband switching spots. Yes, The Fate Of Ophelia is once again #1. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But still, I think we need a new #1 soon, there are a lot more songs that deserve it.

I guess that does it for me in this post, see you guys in the next one.
