We only had one debut this week, being Fingers Crossed from Lauren Spencer-Smith. I really like this song. I think Lauren does an amazing job blending a slow, emotional song with something that keeps the listener entertained throughout the whole thing, similar to Drivers License. Great song, and I bet it will do well here.

Biggest Jump - I Hate U - SZA (+8) - Oh well. I still don't think this will be very big here but I would have preferred it pull a Good Days and leave soon.

Biggest Drop - Happier Than Ever - Billie Eilish (-6) - YES! LEAVE PLEASE! NO MORE BILLIE!

We have a ton of new debuts this week, kicking off with Billie Bossa Nova from Billie Eilish. I don't hate this as much as Billie's other music, mainly because she actually sings in it. The production is stragne though. I hope Hits 1 just stops with Happier Than Ever singles because they all suck.

Next up we have Conan Gray with Jigsaw. I enjoy this song a little, but the pop punk/rock production isnt the best and it takes too long to ramp up. It's like a better version of Happier Than Ever.

Yay, a good debut. Light Switch from Charlie Puth debuts next and wow, is it good. I love everything about this song, from the production and verses to the phenomenal chorus. It is so good and I can't wait to see it's run on the countdown.

Coming in next we have Claire Rosinkranz returning to HitBound with her new song don't miss me. I enjoy this song a lot. I think Claire sounds good here and the production compliments it nicely. I just wish Hits 1 would give her a chance and debut her con the countdown at some point.

Jax has our next debut with her new song To All The Boys I've Loved before. I really like this song. It has great production and Jax sounds really good here. It's a big step up from 90s Kids.

Finally, GAYLE comes swinging again with her song ur just horny. I don't like this as much as abcdefu. I think it could be more entertaining and the production could be better. However, GAYLE sounds great here.

Also coming to us is our giant list of exits, with After You, Sacrifice, Record Player, Enemy, Circles Around This Town and Big Energy, the only ones of which are actually gone being After You and Circles. The rest remain in the abyss. Speaking of the abyss, WE LOST THE OUTSIDE!!! LFGGGG!! We also lost edamame but THE OUTSIDE IS GONE OMGG!!

ur just blurby
Our only exit this week was Whos In Your Head, and I'm pretty happy. I've never liked the JoBros and this stuck around for way too long, so I'm glad to see it finally go.

Speaking of the JoBros, Shivers has gone and broken Sucker's record for most weeks at #1. I like this a thousand times better than Sucker and I'm really glad to see it go and do it.

Wandered to L.A. dropped. Why couldn't it have stayed or jumped again?? Its a really good song.

On the plus side of things, Better Days and Oh My God both had big jumps, and I hope they can stay up there for a while.

U Gurl dropped! Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That'll be it for this week everybody, see you next time!
