  2. Mark Ronson/Camila Cabello - Find U Again
  3. The Chainsmokers/Bebe Rexha - Call You Mine
  4. OneRepublic - Rescue Me
  5. Miley Cyrus - Mother’s Daughter

Blurb Hurts:
Do not even question the #1 for me. It’s The Chainsmokers/5 Seconds Of Summer - Who Do You Love. This song is off the charts and should be on its way out. This shows that Hits 1 overrated The Chainsmokers like crazy. This happened ever since when Closer stayed at the top 10 for too long.

3 songs are tied for the biggest drop and I have mixed feeling about the 3. Ariana Grande - Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I’m Bored should not be dropping. It deserves to have a longer tenure. Taylor Swift/Brendon Urie - ME! has faded on me so I don’t care about that one. But good fucking idea for making Halsey - Without Me drop. This song cannot stay much longer.

Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar looks like it’s going to take a quick drop off.

This was the first week since January 5 to have no exits and TBH, this also forced less activity in the countdown. We really need some trash to leave the countdown now.

Jonas Brothers - Sucker already had 13 weeks at #1. Why is it at #2 this week? We know this already broke the record so no.

I’m quite surprised Public - Make You Mine is jumping. This song is almost literally 5 years old and it’s currently charting on Hits 1? How about a no.

I’m not happy that Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Señorita took a 2 week drop out of the top 10 down to #15. I honestly thought for sure that this song was going to make the top 5 this week but no.

Hits 1 is happily not ready to get rid of 7 Rings just yet. I’m glad we will get more success from that song.

Push Baby - Mama’s House is just a countdown filler. It’s literally doing nothing.

Really? Panic! At The Disco - Dancing Not A Crime up up 16 to the top 10? I’m not even going to question that. It should be time for this song to be on its way out. Thanks to its long HitBound tenure.

Most Missed Song: Meghan Trainor - No Excuses

Throwback Pick: Shakira - Hips Don’t Lie (2006)

#1 Recommendation For Hits 1: Ed Sheeran/Chris Stapleton/Bruno Mars - BLOW

Favorite Song This Week Last Year: Ariana Grande - No Tears Left To Cry

Biggest DROP!!!... Of The Week: Sam Smith/Normani – Dancing With A Stranger (–16)

Biggest Jump Of The Week: Bazzi – Paradise (+13)

New Entrants:
Our first new entrant comes from P!nk - Hustle. This song is pretty catchy for a P!nk song IMAO. I’ve had mixed feelings with this song. I like it, then I lost interest in it, then I gained back interest in it. I really think that it’s better than Walk Me Home which is old. I wonder how it’ll do here.

Our next entrant is nothing but an annoying countdown filler song that’s over 4 years old. Public - Make You Mine is pretty bland IMAO and shouldn’t even be here. I find this song to be very boring for the most part. Because of how fucking old this song is, I already see it being a flop.

And now, more trash from Blanco Brown is on next. This song is just an obnoxious piece of shit singer. He’s worse than Lil Nas X and The Git Up is OTR 2.0. Because of its similarities with OTR, I unfortunately see this also becoming a hit. I really hope that this song doesn’t get big.

Lizzo - Truth Hurts is yet another bad debut. Lizzo’s vocals are not good in this song or any song, TBH. She has no singing talent whatsoever. Luckily, Juice flopped which means that this song will most likely flop as well.

And finally, the best debut and new best song of 2019, we’ve got Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Señorita. This collab is just amazing and it’s got a really catchy Latin vibe to it. Many Latin vibe songs are trash because they’re vibes are very weak. This one, however, is the complete opposite. Shawn sounds amazing and Camila and sounds great. But when they collab together, it’s better than I expect it to be. This song debuted high up at #8 which means that it’ll probably hit #1 in the future. I really hope this song stays for a long while.

You Can Call Me Blurburita:
I’m happy that after we had a bunch of boring weeks the past few weeks, we’ve finally have an active week for once. However, this week wasn’t as good.

Alec Benjamin - Let Me Down Slowly dropped to the bottom 3rd this week. I used to really like this song, but now it seriously needs to leave. I like what he does but this song has been on the countdown for way too long.

Another song that dropped into the bottom 15 is Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar despite it having the biggest jump last week. It does need to go as it’s old. And TBH, this song may really likely leave unexpectedly as it dropped unexpectedly.

Two of the other biggest jumps from last week also dropped. Kaskade/Meghan Trainor - With You and Martin Garrix/Macklemore/Patrick Stump - Summer Days both dropped 7 spots. The former was very well deserved as it’s bad for Meghan Trainor standards. I’ve been losing interest in the latter lately, I’m ready for it to leave soon.

The final biggest jump from last week ended up being the biggest jump for the 2nd week in a row this week. Bazzi - Paradise, just like Summer Days has been fading on me. I thought it was going to flop but I was clearly wrong.

Lauv/Troye Sivan - I’m So Tired is no longer the worst song on the countdown. That title now has to go to Halsey - Nightmare. Halsey definitely sold out. Her yelling is very unnecessary and it pretty much ruins the song. This is definitely one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard.

Push Baby - Mama’s House fortunately isn’t going to last much longer.

Im surprised but very happy that Ariana Grande - 7 Rings managed to survive a 5 exit week. This week would’ve been far worse if it was a 6 or 7 exit week.

Lil Nas X/Billy Rae Cyrus - Old Town Road isn’t as big as a hit here as it is elsewhere which I’m really happy about.

As far as the exits go, they all deserved to leave. Ciara - Thinkin Bout You, Billie Eilish - Bury A Friend, and NOTD/Felix Jaehn/Captain Cuts/Georgia Ku were all getting old and it was about time they left. And Billie Eilish also has When The Party’s Over leaving which was a good thing because it’s trash. Post Malone - Wow. was pretty bad and definitely isn’t a song that I would wow for. Good riddance to all of you.
