New Entrants:
I’m going to kick off with the new entrants with Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved. I don’t see how people can like this song. Lewis has a bad voice and it doesn’t suit for the production of the song either. I’ve had this song as mediocre but it got worse. Sorry but Lewis doesn’t have a very good voice.
After a few steps up with Alessia Cara, she has gone down again. I like a more fast paced Alessia Cara other that a slower paced. She isn’t that good at singing ballads. She needs to be going a few steps up other than down. However, I do not see this song lasting very long.
NOTD is back collaborating with Felix Jaehn, Captain Cuts, and Georgia Ku. I’d have to say, I’ve been growing into this song lately. I really don’t like a lot of generic EDM but this is pretty much catchy in my opinion. I don’t love it but I’ll still take it.
Ugh, MAX is back after Gibberish which was one of my least favorite songs of 2015 and Lights Down Low which lasted way too long on the countdown. His collaboration with Quinn XCII also isn’t working. Love Me Less kinda sounds like HandClap which was one of my least favorite songs from 2017. But to be honest, he isn’t capable of being a singer at all.
Now, I’m starting to get into Billie Eilish more and more. Bury A Friend has became pretty catchy and she is starting to show her true talent. After You Should See Me In A Crown which was one of the worst songs from last year, I can finally see her going uphill. If she keeps it that way, she’ll be producing more good music.

Bury A Blurb:
Both of the songs that had the biggest jump had unexpected ones. Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar is flopping on many countdowns yet Hits 1 is still holding it. Also, I seriously thought Twenty One Pilots - Chlorine would’ve flopped like their other songs from Trench. However, both jumps probably won’t last very long because they only jumped 8 spots.
I’m not happy about the biggest drop this week. Avril Lavigne is a great singer and Nicki Minaj is also good when she collars with Dumb Blonde. I see another Avril flop.
I’m very happy that Anne-Marie - 2002 yet survived another 5 exit week.
I’m still happy that Jonas Brothers - Sucker is holding the #1 spot instead of a bad song hitting the spot.
Man, FLETCHER - Undrunk fell down to the bottom 5 this week. I’d knew that this song would’ve been a flop.
What’s with Dean Lewis - Be Alright reentering the top 20? I do assume people still like this song. However, I’m not one of them.
Lizzo - Juice I slowly fading away on me. Don’t be surprised if it’s going to be in red within the next few weeks.
Can Hits 1 please let go of Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next? I really don’t want to see myself hate an Ariana Grande song for being still on the countdown. I seriously had enough of this song at that point.
Ciara - Thinkin Bout You is a destined flop.
It’s ridiculous that Halsey - Without Me is still in the top 5. This song is so annoying and it needs to leave that spot forever.
As far as the exits go, 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood and Khalid/Normani - Love Lies overstayed and they should’ve both left a long time ago. Cardi B/Bruno Mars- Please Me was kinda old and it would’ve been much better if it wasn’t for Cardi B. Kelsea Ballerini - Miss Me More and Maren Morris - GIRL didn’t deserve to be flops. I’m sad to see both of them go.
