Recommendations For Hits 1:
Josie Edwards- Gravedigger

Luke Bryan- Made It A Memory

The Rolling Stones- Jealous Lover

First up, we have Myles Smith's latest, Heaven. This is pretty good. It has an interesting line dance type production and Myles Smith sounds pretty good over it. Plus, the lyrics really give off the right vibe for the love song that this is supposed to be. Fun song.

Our other debut is from 2023 but resurged in popularity due to the Netflix show Off Campus, it's Edge Of The Earth by the Beaches. This is good, but not as good as Sheppard's song from a couple years ago. The beat here is on the tolerable side and Jordan Miller sounds pretty, good, this hasn't fully clicked on me yet. It may someday, but I'll never know.

And saving the best for last, we have Repeat It by Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran coming in all the way up at #19. This is amazing, it could easily go top 5 on my best list at the end of the year, with the current projection being #3. The vibe of this just works, it reminds me a lot of Drifting Away by Audien and Joe Jury from 2022, so of course Martin Garrix's production on this is just outstanding and Ed Sheeran sounds really good, plus the lyrics on this make it one of the best love songs I've heard in recent memory. So yeah, amazing song, I hope this has longevity on here.

Hitbound:

Tyla- Is It Love

Slayyyter- Dance

Alyssa Grace- Bloodstream (Debut)

Akon- Ringtone

Our first debut is from Benson Boone, this is called The Time Of My Life. Yes, it's on the slower side, but it is in a key that I can tolerate and Benson Boone sounds pretty good, plus, there's somewhat of a beat here. I'll take this.

What's this? Sombr actually made a song that doesn't sound like his other songs? So here we have My Body isn't Ready, and this has to be his best song thus far. It gives off a completely different feel than what I'm used to from him, and the lyrics feel like this is about not being ready to commit to a relationship. So, great job here.

And it looks as though literally every Ethan Burdick song to ever exist will now get picked up on Hits 1, since I Get The Picture is his first ever song and his second ever song, Hold You, is now here. However, this is really good, a lot better than I Get The Picture. It is super upbeat, in Bb major, and Ethan Burdick sounds really good here. Also, I like the lyrics, they seem similar to those of H.O.L.Y. by Florida Georgia Line, Love Again by Dua Lipa, etc. And Mikey Piff said the music video stars his (Burdick's) real life girlfriend, so that's a bonus. Hopefully, this actually does something.

Gracie Abrams's new album comes out soon, and we now have Look At My Life. This is pretty good. It has a nice beat to it and Gracie Abrams sounds pretty good here. That's all I need to say here.

Great. Charli XCX is also here, replacing SS26 with somewhat of an improvement, this is called Wink Wink. And yes, this is only good. It has a beat similar to that of Call Me When You break Up by Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco, and Gracie Abrams of all songs, so it is somewhat upbeat, but not in the right key to make this great. Yeah, this could've been better, but it is better than what I last heard from her.

For the first time in almost eight years and only the second time ever, Kelsea Ballerini has done an EDM song. This is a collaboration with Marshmello called Another Drink, and I really like this one. I like Marshmello's production here and Kelsea Ballerini sounds super good, and this sounds rather similar to This Feeling from 2018. So I'll definitely take this.

Up next, new Ravyn Lenae called Saturday night. This is also a good song from her. It has an interesting enough beat and she sounds pretty good. I'll take this one.

Our last debut is from newcomer Alyssa Grace, this is called Bloodstream. I'm not fully sold on this one. It feels a bit on the slower side but it's still interesting enough to prevent me from hating this and Alyssa Grace has a solid singing voice. So I don't mind this being here.

We lost Passenger, High Hopes 3000, Supernova, Happy 2 Be, I Know I Know, and SS26 (as I previously mentioned. The first two are in the abyss and I definitely want them to debut eventually. As for the others, I would've liked to see Supernova debut, but I'm fine with the others leaving, especially SS26, that was ass.

Blurbs:

Our exits were Elizabeth Taylor, I Get The Picture, and Speed Demon. Good riddance to Elizabeth Taylor, it never should have done this well. I'm also fine with I Get The Picture leaving, especially with Hold You now on Hitbound. And at least Speed Demon didn't rot in the bottom 5 for half a year, but still should've lasted longer and peaked higher.

Just when I thought She Did It Again was starting to have success...

Though I'm fine with American Girls dropping.

Hit The Wall is slowly but surely starting to have success.

Umm... how the fuck did I Knew It I Knew You jump as high as it did?

Mr Know It All entered the top 5. Honestly, I wouldn't mind this going #1.

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