We had three debuts this week, and kicking off we have I Hate U from SZA. This song has slightly grown on me, but I still find it extremely boring and hope it leaves soon.

Next up at #26 we have a much better song, WYD Now? from Sadie Jean. I enjoy everything about this song. I think Sadie Jean sounds really nice here and the production compliments it well.

Finally coming in at #23 we have Woman from Doja Cat. I LOVE the production on this song. It is so upbeat so fun, and so amazing. I HATE the chorus of this song. It is so annoying and so underwhelming. I enjoy the verses though.

First up this week we have Tai Verdes with his new song that I wont type the name of. I enjoy this song a fair amount. I think Tai sounds good here and I like the production and melody, but the song is quite boring and forgettable.

Here's a song that Hits 1 should have brought a whole lot sooner, Infinity from Jaymes Young. I enjoy the chorus and production of this song a lot, but the verses are underwhelming and forgettable. 

Yay, Record Player is back. This song has really grown on me since it left and I hope it debuts. 

Our next song is from Lauren Spencer-Smith, and its called Fingers Crossed. I like this song a lot. I think Lauren Spencer-Smith sounds really good here and everything just comes together nicely.

Coming up next we have a new Avril Lavigne song with blackbear called Love It When You Hate Me. I like this song a decent bit. It has great production and the vocals are amazing, but its very forgettable.

Second to last is Marren Morris coming to us with Circles Around This Town. This song is not very good. It's bland, forgettable, and underwhelming. Marren Morris sounds fine here, but it doesnt do anything to save the song.

Finally, we have I love You So by the Walters, far and away the worst Hitbound song this week. IT IS SO BAD. The production is terrible, it is super forgettable, and everyone sounds terrible.

What Are You  Blurbin Now?

Shivers has tied the record for longest #1 on the countdown with the JoBros and Sucker.

As far as our exits go, YAY MALE FANTASY IS GONE! STAY OUT AND NEVER COME BACK. Sad Girlz just took up space, and I am satisfied with traitor's run though I would have liked to see it hit #1 to keep Olivias perfect #1 streak alive but oh well. 

How is STAY still here? It should be gone to the moon and back by now.

Ugh Smokin Out The Window jumped. Hopefully this doesn't become a thing. 

The top 5 needs to change soon.

Yeah thats about it, see you guys in the next one!
