Debuts
Our first debut comes from Amaraae, Moliy, and Kali Uchis, and it's called SAD GURLZ LUV MONEY. I don't like this song very much at all. No one sounds good here and as a whole the song is very annoying. I hope this finds itself gone from Hits 1 within a few weeks.

Next up we have my new worst song on the countdown, from *shocker* Billie Eilish, called Male Fantasy. It is almost like she autotunes whisper-singing in, she does it SO much. The production on this is atrocious too. I really hope this flops like Your Power did because we don't need two Billie EIlish songs making the countdown bad.

So our next debut is much better than the last two, and it's Wandered to L.A. from Juice WRLD and Justin Bieber. This song is really good, and it's really grown on me since it's debut on Hitbound. Juice WLRD sounds amazing here, but I think Justin Bieber could have delivered better. This song is amazing lyrically, and the production complements the song really well.

Finally, we have Oh My God from Adele re-entering at number 18. Yay! I really hope it reaches #1 and kicks Easy on Me out.

Best debut: Wandered to L.A. - Juice WRLD/Justin Bieber

Biggest Jump - Message In A Bottle - Taylor Swift (+9) I'm very glad that this was able to jump here. Hopefully it can hit #1 soon.

Biggest Drop - Whos In Your Head - Jonas Brothers (-7) I hope this gets completely out of here soon. In the meantime, it's nice to see it dropping and getting less airplay.

Our only debut this week comes from 24kgoldn with more than friends. I like this song a lot. He sounds really good here, and the production is nice. I'd like this to debut on the countdown soon and I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

We had no dropouts this week but we did have the re-entry of bite me. I don't really care about this song so I wouldn't mind if it leaves.

Blurb Fantasy
Shivers has now tied Good 4 U for the longest-running #1 in 2021. Hopefully it doesn't break that record and something like Message in a Bottle replaces it. 

Moth to A Flame is now in the top 10. Hopefully it can enter the top 5 soon. 

Why does Need to Know keep jumping? Hopefully it's gone soon. 

C'mon I Feel Good, start rising.

U Gurl keeps falling. Lets get this outta here and replaced by something good. 

Hopfully feel like this jumps soon. It;s only the second week, but still.

Let's switch up the top 5 soon It's been Ghost, THATS WHAT I WANT, Cold Heart, Easy on Me, and Shivers basically retaining the same place throughout a long stretch of weeks. Lets get Moth to a Flame, One Right Now, Message in a Bottle, and Better Days in there.

Our exits this week were pretty bad if you ask me. One Day left, which is great, and so did love nwantiti. love nwantiti has been just sitting in the bottom 5 for eternity so it's about time it left. I'm pretty happy about one day leaving, and I'm hoping You Problem being on Hits 1 means One Day won't be coming back. Bite Me re-entered HitBound, and while I'm sad about Lets Go to Hell leaving, I'm not that mad. Hopefully it re-enters.

Se y'all in the next one, and thanks for viewing.
