Solid movement but something questionable did happen (Week of 11/29/2025)

 

Hello everyone, welcome to another post. My worst list for 2025 should be out later this week, and my best list, which I've definitely been looking forward to making, should be out in a couple weeks. Let's just get into it, here are our exits:

Countdown Extra: Tate McRae- Nobody's Girl

Last Year's #1: Lady Gaga/ Bruno Mars- Die With A Smile

#1 Two Years Ago: Tate McRae- Greedy

My Favorite Song Last Year: Shaboozey- Good News

My Favorite Song Two Years Ago: Knox- Not The 1975

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Blackbear- Britney In 07

I mentioned at the beginning of this post that my worst list would be coming out later this week, and you guys should probably expect this first song to be on it. Anyways, Sienna Spiro is the next One To Watch, and her song Die On This Hill debuts... and yeah, this is quite bad. It's boring AF and Sienna Spiro doesn't exactly have the voice to save this at all. I have no fucking idea how this made its way on to the countdown, but I hope it has no longevity after it is the 1TW.

Thankfully, our other debut is a lot better despite pulling a Sunday Best this week, it's Kevin Jonas's first ever solo song, Changing. This is pretty good. This has a rather solid beat and Kevin Jonas sounds pretty good here. So, solid excuse for a first Kevin Jonas solo song.

Hitbound (not including Sunday Bests):

Lewis Capaldi- The Day That I Die

Olivia Dean- So Easy (To Fall In Love)

Charli XCX- Chains Of Love

Katy Perry- Bandaids

Jackson Wang- Made Me A Man

Tyla- Chanel (Debut)

Tate McRae- Nobody's Girl

The Kid Laroi- A Perfect World

Max/ Andy Grammer- The Thing I Love

Alessi Rose- Get Around

Tyler The Creator- Sugar On My Tongue

5 Seconds Of Summer- Everyone's A Star

In Color- Headlights

Jessie Murph- I Stay I Leave I Love I Lose

Tame Impala- Dracula

We only have one debut this week, it's Chanel by Tyla. This is yet another fun song from her. The beat here is really cool and Tyla once again sounds pretty good. Hopefully, this makes its way on to the countdown.

No dropouts this week, thank god.

Blurbs:

Our exits were Undressed and No Broke Boys. Undressed has been here for way too long, I believe it first debuted HB back in February, spent a decent chunk of time there, and then spent 28 weeks on the countdown, 8 of them it was #1. And I'm not sure why No Broke Boys re-entered last week if it was just going to leave the following week, I was hoping it would at least jump a few spots this week, but I just let my expectations get too high.

Yukon is finally not #29.

Changes is finally starting to make some moves.

It seems as though Camera is on its way out. Can't complain too much, there were a couple Play songs that were better.

Umm... do we really need to make Lover Girl a thing this far into its run?

Well, I am a bit surprised at Bloodline in the top 10. For it debuting after however long in the abyss it was, I'll definitely take this.

Looks like Where Is My Husband is now at #4. I'll definitely take this as her first ever #1 here.

Unfortunately... that might not happen because The Fate Of Ophelia dethroned Golden this week. Just what I needed. This eventually going to #1 and possibly blocking everything in its path for as long as humanly possible. Man I Need, Where Is My Husband (as previously mentioned), and Back To Friends all deserve to be #1, and now the Swifties might not allow that to happen.

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