Biggest Jump Of The Week: Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For (+14)

New Entrants:

Having 4 new entrants is not bad for my birthday weekend. I’ll go from worst to best.

Diplo has collaborated with Jessie Murph and Polo G for Heartbroken. I like this song but Diplo’s production isn’t good enough for this to be in the great category. However, it’s good for now.

Usher, Summer Walker, and 21 Savage have collaborated with Good Good. I also like this song and I think the production is catchy. It’s probably only slightly better than Heartbroken. I’m not a fan of 21 Savage and his verse is probably the worst part of the song.

Around 20 or so years ago, NSYNC broke up. Now, they’re back together and have a new song called Better Place. This is a song from the TROLLS Band Together movie. This song is pretty catchy. In fact, unlike Good Good and Heartbroken, this song is great. I love the verses in this song.

Our final debut and the best one is Junk Kook and Jack Harlow with 3D. I’m a huge fan of the KPOP genre and I’m glad more KPOP songs have been charting recently. This is pop perfection in my opinion. I hope this song lasts long on the countdown.

HitBound

• PinkPantheress - Mosquito
• Ed Sheeran - American Town
• Loud Luxury/Two Friends/Bebe Rexha - If Only I

Only 3 HitBound entrants? This a low for HitBound standards this year. We’ve usually had a lot of HitBound entrants in the past couple of years. One of them is even a reentry. Let’s go over the 3 entrants, shall we?

Chrome Hearted is the best JDXN song so far. Please make your debut soon.

Strangers by Kenya Grace is really catchy. I like her vocals.

I Remember Everything by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves reentered HitBound. This song is good. Maybe it’ll finally make its debut on the countdown

Top 5 HitBound:

1. JDXN - Chrome Hearted
2. Loud Luxury/Two Friends/Bebe Rexha - If Only I
3. Lu Kala - Hotter Now
4. Zach Bryan/Kacey Musgraves - I Remember Everything
5. Ed Sheeran - American Town

Blurber Place:

Okay, why the hell is Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer still in the top 5? Aren’t people getting sick of this song already? Welp, at least it didn’t hold its spot at the top this week.

It looks like it’ll be the end for Nicki Minaj - Last Time I Saw You. I’d be fine with it leaving next week, even though I still like this song.

Zara Larsson/David Guetta - On My Love should not hold its spot at #30. Please jump next week!

SZA - Snooze is soooooooo underwhelming. I don’t know who can tolerate this song.

I may be a stan of KPOP but Jung Kook/Latto - Seven is fading on me. I don’t seem to like it as much as before.

Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World has been on the countdown for too long. I just hope this song exits within the next few weeks. It’s getting on my nerves.

Post Malone - Enough Is Enough is really catchy. It may be a while before I get sick of this song.

Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For took a big jump to the top 10. I’m glad this Billie Eilish song is getting some success. However, I made get sick of this song soon.

As far as out exits go, Jonas Brother - Summer Baby was starting to get old and it was about time is left. Luke Combs - Fast Car was decent, but not that good of a cover. Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss was extremely catchy and I cannot get sick of this song. Timbaland/Nelly Furtado/Justin Timberlake - Keep Going Up was good but nothing special.

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Alec Benjamin – If We Have Each Other (+18)

New Entrants:

We have 6 new entrants this week with the first one coming from Asher Angel. His song is called One Thought Away. To be honest, he seems to be like Austin Brown 2.0, but he’s not as good. His song is pretty underwhelming and more underwhelming than In Betweenin’. I have a strong feeling that this song isn’t going to last long on the countdown. I just don’t see it happening.

After Miley Cyrus sold out a couple years ago, I thought she wasn’t going to add so much more great songs. However, Mother’s Daughter is great. She does show her talent in this song and it has a meaning. It’s hard to believe that this is from the newer Miley Cyrus because it’s so good.

SHAED - Trampoline is yet another underwhelming song. It’s more mediocre now than crap. But TBH, this song has a very underwhelming production that ruins the song. His voice isn’t that great either. This may grow on me tho.

The next debut is the best debut. Mark Ronson collaborates with Camila Cabello in a song called Find U Again. He had a #1 hit in 2015 with Bruno Mars called Uptown Funk and that song was overrated. It seems as his more recent songs should’ve been hits instead. Nothing Breaks Like A Heart flopped on Hits 1 and I wasn’t happy that it did. Hopefully, this song won’t flop.

I think Stephen Puth is very talented, but he doesn’t show his talent in Look Away. I find this song to be mediocre at best. It’s that type of song that will never be remembered after it leaves the countdown. And not just it’s underwhelming, but it’ll probably also flop like Sexual Vibe did.

I love OneRepublic. They’re a really good band. I like Rescue Me and it’s pretty catchy. I find it a great song but it’s nowhere near as good as their older work. Songs like All The Right, Good Life, and Counting Stars easily beat this song. I know OneRepublic went to a different direction. I just think that they’re more poppy songs are better.

Best Debut: Mark Ronson/Camila Cabello - Find U Again

HitBound

• Jax Jones/Bebe Rexha – Harder
• Panic! At The Disco – Roaring 20s (DEBUT)
• Zara Larsson – All The Time
• Ellie Goulding/Juice WRLD – Hate Me
• Twenty One Pilots – The Hype (DEBUT)
• Taylor Swift – The Archer
• Alec Benjamin – Jesus In LA (DEBUT)
• Sam Smith – How Do You Sleep?
• Katy Perry – Small Talk (DEBUT)
• Ariana Grande/Social House – Boyfriend (DEBUT)
• Thomas Rhett – Look What God Gave Her
• Ed Sheeran/Khalid – Beautiful People
• Dominic Fike – 3 Nights
• Jonas Brothers – Only Human
• Lizzo – Good As Hell (DEBUT)

Roaring 20s is bad for P!ATD standards, The Hype is underwhelming, Jesus In LA is decent but it may likely grow on me, Small Talk Shows that Katy evolved to the worst, Boyfriend is the new best HitBound song, and Good As Hell is the new worst.

Top 5 HitBound:

1. Ariana Grande/Social House - Boyfriend
2. Zara Larsson - All The Time
3. Jonas Brothers - Only Human
4. Jax Jones/Bebe Rexha - Harder
5. Thomas Rhett - Look What God Gave Her

Blurb U Again:

Wow, over half of the top 10 songs are top 10 entrances. To be honest, Senorita is the only one of the 6 that deserve to enter the top 10.

How the fuck did songs like Marshmello/Bastille - Happier and Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar survive a 6 exit week?

As long as Shawn Mendes - If I Cant Have You is #1, we’ll be fine. It’s the only great song in the top 10.

Both of the biggest jumps were well deserved. Neither of these songs were at least good. Now hopefully, we’ll see Kaskade/Meghan Trainor - With You flop here.

The point that Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes is still here makes me wanna scream in agony. This was never that great of a song and the overplay only made things worse. I’m really hoping that this song will leave within’ the next few weeks.

AJR - 100 Bad Days shouldn’t have jumped all the way to the top 20. Now I’m very annoyed by this. Each listen, this song gets worse and worse. At least it wasn’t the biggest jump.

Yep, Jonas Brothers - Cool is probably going to leave before Sucker does.

Thank the voters for putting Halsey - Without Me in the bottom third of the countdown. Now, keep dropping and leave within’ the next few weeks.

Taylor Swift - You Need To Calm Down dropping was unexpected but it was a good thing. This song is nowhere near as good as ME! is.

As far as our exits go, we have yet another 6 exit week. Push Baby - Mama’s House was never even good to begin with. This band formerly known as Rixton has became a Fall Out Boy wannabe. Twenty One Pilots - Chlorine was also never even good. Ellie Goulding/Diplo - Close To Me completely faded on me. Overplay killed it. Martin Garrix/Macklemore/Patrick Stump - Summer Days and Bazzi - Paradise we’re getting old so it was about time they left. Now, for the exit I’m mostly disappointed for, Sam Smith/Normani - Dancing With A Stranger. This is by far Sam Smith’s best work and Normani also did a very good job in it. It’ll definitely be missed by me.
