Lil Nas X (3) Week Of February 12, 2022

So again the Super Bowl is this weekend. The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals are playing this time. I'm really looking forward to watch it. I'm pulling for the Rams to win this one. I'm also looking forward to Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar's performances during the halftime show. Hopefully they'll do amazing and I really hope they should perform some of their old songs. Anway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks super amazing. We do have a debut this week that is actually going to be one of my top songs of the year. But I'll explain what that song is later on in this post.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Avril Lavigne/Blackbear - Love It When You Hate Me (+13) take the biggest jump. This totally deserves it! Now, hopefully this should be in the Top 10 next week.

I did not expect Ed Sheeran - Shivers (-4) to take a small biggest drop this week. And I'm sure this song is going to be out of here very soon. But it sure did had a historical time on there as it broke the record for most weeks spent at the top spot. And now, it's time for this song to be on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Coi Leray - Anxiety: She has finally made her first countdown appearance this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's definitely a step up from Twinnem. For my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing and super fun, Coi's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were very nicely-written, and that chorus was so phenomenal. But yeah, this is definitely an amazing and fun song overall for me to listen to. Let's see how this one does on there.

Tiesto/Ava Max - The Motto: The best countdown debut this week. This is definitely his best song ever because I know he collaborated with a super talented singer. And it's definitely a huge step up from all of his other songs. With my opinion, the production was super heavenly, Ava's vocals were pretty heavenly, I'm definitely a humongous fan of the lyrics, the chorus was extremely heavenly, and the drop was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 5 Songs of the year. Hopefully this should do super amazing on there.

Machine Gun Kelly/Willow - Emo Girl: This is absolutely an amazing alt-pop song. And I've actually been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. Though this is not as good as Forget Me Too and My Ex's Best Friend, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, MGK's vocals were super amazing, Willow's vocals were super phenomenal in her contribution, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super fun. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Tate McRae - She's All I Wanna Be: She replaces herself on the countdown this week since Feel Like Shit left. As far as the song goes, it's definitely phenomenal and this is definitely a step up from Feel Like Shit. As for my opinion, the production was super amazing, Tate's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was definitely what I really stand for. So yeah, this is an amazing song overall. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Gayle - ABCDEFU: Wow, what is going on with this song not moving up and let it still stand at this spot? I was still waiting for it to be in the Top 3, but I'm not sure if it's ever going to happen.

4. Justin Bieber - Ghost: Wow, this song has been standing at this spot for 8 weeks. Gosh, when will this song move or drop? But I'm sure this is going to do either of the two soon.

3. Taylor Swift - Message In A Bottle: It debuted the Top 5 and into the Top 3 this week. I actually knew that it was going to be in there because everybody knows why. It's her. But I'm so pleased to see it in there and I really hope that this should be in the top spot soon.

2. Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti: Gosh, how is this song still standing at this spot? I really would like to see it at the top spot, but hopefully it'll do it very soon.

1. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm okay with this song still in there, however I do want another song to be at the top spot that's much better than this one. But let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Doja Cat - Celebrity Skin: Since Need To Know left the countdown this week, we have picked up another new single from her. As far as the song goes, this is absolutely another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Woman, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Doja's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super nicely-written, the chorus was so phenomenal and super fun, and I really love the parts where the pop-punk electric guitar is not present. So yeah, this is amazing and fun overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Saweetie/H.E.R. - Closer: I feel like she's getting better with her music lately because this is also another amazing song. But definitely not as good as The Chainsmokers's hit song from 2016 with the same title, but it's still amazing. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Saweetie's verses were so phenomenal and she flows very nicely here, the lyrics were super amazing, and H.E.R.'s vocals in the chorus were super phenomenal. So yeah, overall it's an amazing and fun song. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Nicky Youre - Sunroof: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I've actually found this guy yet to be another talented singer after giving this song a listen for the first time. And now, here he is. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Nicky's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal and super fun. But yeah, phenomenal song overall. I'm really hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

Ed Sheeran/Taylor Swift - The Joker And The Queen: Here we go again with those two collaborating again. Although this is the Taylor remix of the song, but they're still collaborating. As for this song, it's definitely amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, both Ed and Taylor sound super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. So yeah, this is such another amazing song overall. I'm hoping that it'll be on the countdown within the next week or so.
