Recommendations For Hits 1:

Voila- Our Tomorrows

Vince- Palmeri- Do It Again

Talk- Time Machine

Bebe Rexha/ David Guetta- Sad Girls

Up first, we have Earrings by Malcolm Todd. I've been seeing some not so great reviews on this, but I kinda dig this. It has a groovy beat and Malcolm Todd sounds rather good here. I'll take this being a sleeper hit, even though I'm not sure if it will last long at all.

Our other debut this week is The Cure by Olivia Rodrigo. This is solid, but definitely nowhere near as good as Drop Dead. It feels a bit generic and forgettable and is a bit too long, but Olivia Rodrigo sounds good here, so that makes the song solid enough. I'll take this for now.

Hitbound:

Noah Kahan- Doors

Ariana Grande- Hate That I Made You Love Me (Debut)

MGK/ Wiz Khalifa- Girl Next Door

Ravyn Lenae- Handle (Debut)

Charli XCX- Rock Music

H33ra- Shook

Knox- Long Story Short (Debut)

Niall Horan- End Of An Era

Tiffany Stringer- Supernova

Kevin Jonas- Little Things

Ella Langley- Be Her

Drake- 2 Hard 4 The Radio

Alessi Rose- Skin

Charli XCX- SS26

Stella Lefty- I Know I Know

Martin Garrix/ Ed Sheeran- Repeat It

Up first, we have a new song from Ariana Grande called Hate That I Made You Love Me. This is pretty solid. In my opinion, it sounds a lot like Kill Bill by Sza of all songs, but the lyrics seem less violent. Also, Ariana Grande sounds pretty good here per usual. I'll take this.

It seems as though each new song I hear from Ravyn Lenae gets better than the previous one. Love Me Not was solid, Reputation with Dominic Fike from earlier this year was a lot better, and this new song, Handle, might be her best. It is her most upbeat song that I've heard and she sounds pretty good over this production. Yeah, if she puts out more songs like this, I could become a fan.

And saving the best for last, we have Knox's latest, Long Story Short. Yet another banger from him. The beat goes really hard, Knox sounds really good here per usual, and it seems to be about a rather brutal breakup where a lot happened but he only wants to tell the short version of everything. Keep it up, Knox.

We lost Material Lover and Promise. I doubt Material Lover is done for good since it was the extra this week, and Promise was really forgettable, so I'm fine with that leaving.

Blurbs:

Our exits were When Did You Get Hot and Silent Treatment. I'm rather unsure as to why When Did You Get Hot is the first Sabrina Carpenter song since Nonsense to not go #1 as it was easily the best song from either Short N Sweet or Man's Best Friend. And Silent Treatment was drastically fading on me, so I'm fine with that leaving.

Good seeing Speed Demon jump off its debut instead of pulling a Yukon.

Looks like I Get The Picture is starting to do something.

Seems as though New Religion will have a better second run.

Same with Mr Know It All, which is already in the top 10.

So Easy (To Fall In Love) might be on its way out.

Drop Dead has surged all the way to #3, hopefully this hits #1 soon.

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