#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:


Charlie Puth/Jung Kook - Left And Right (2 of 4 weeks at #1)


This Week's Mover and Shaker:


Olivia Rodrigo - Bad Idea Right? (+7) took the biggest jump this week into the Top 10 which I'm pleased to see. And it's almost at the Top 5 so hopefully it'll be in there next week.

Crash Adams - Give Me A Kiss (-9) sure has been losing airplay on there recently. But I do know that it's definitely going to be the end of it.


New Song/s on the countdown this week are:


Zara Larsson/David Guetta - On My Love: Although this wasn't actually the first time those two collaborated because I know the last time they collaborated was This One's For You back in 2016 which Hits 1 should've picked up back then. But as far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as This One's For You, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Zara's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus and drop were so heavenly. Let's see how this one does on there.


Blink-182 - One More Time: The best countdown debut this week. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And now, they have made their humongous return on the countdown this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Edging, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, the vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.


My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:


5. Jonas Brothers - Summer Baby: I'm pleased to see this song debut the Top 5 this week. This deserves it! Now, hopefully this should go to the Top 3 soon.

4. The Weeknd/Playboi Carti/Madonna - Popular: I'm still waiting for this song to be in the Top 3. But hopefully next week it'll be in there.

3. Miley Cyrus - Used To Be Young: I'm pleased to see this song in the Top 3. And now I'm really hoping that it should go to the top spot very soon.

2. Doechii - What It Is (Block Boy): Yeah I'm sure this song is definitely not going to be at the top spot on there, but I'm sure it might leave the Top 3 within the next week or so.

1. Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. Gosh, nothing can sure stop this song from doing super well. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.


Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:


1. All Time Low/Avril Lavigne - Fake As Hell

2. *NSYNC - Better Place (DEBUT)

3. Travis Scott - I Know (DEBUT)

4. Ed Sheeran - American Town (DEBUT)

5. Maneskin - Honey (Are U Coming?) (DEBUT)

6. Lu Kala - Hotter Now

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:


*NSYNC - Better Place: So Justin Timberlake's boy band has reunited again for the first time in 2 decades which I didn't actually expect to happen. And this song was actually taken from the soundtrack of the new Trolls: Band Together movie, which was so interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production and the whistling was so phenomenal and catchy, the boys all sound super phenomenal here, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.


Travis Scott - I Know: Yes, this is just a decent song. There really isn't anything interesting to say about it. Though the production here sounded decent and Travis sounded okay but there really isn't that much of a hook here. And the chorus here sounded decent as well. But I'll admit that the lyrics here were still so interesting, so I'll still give credit to that. But this is a decent song overall for me to listen to. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.


Ed Sheeran - American Town: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. So he has put out his 2nd album of the year, and this was one of the songs that was off of the album. And I've noticed that this song was actually produced by Aaron Dessner, which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Eyes Closed. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Ed's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was pretty heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.


Maneskin - Honey (Are U Coming?): I've also been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Supermodel, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, Damiano David's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon and let's see if it'll do better than on the Alt-18 on there.


AJR - Yes, I'm A Mess: It actually reminds me of Sober Up from 2018 because it actually sounds very similar to it. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. And this was actually another song that I've been hearing a lot on Alt Nation. But let's get to my opinion. The production was so amazing, Jack's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.


Presley Regier - Have Your Way: Remember when he had that Hit Bound dropout this year called Nevermind? Well, he's back this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another outstanding song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Nevermind. With my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Presley's vocals were super outstanding, the lyrics were very nicely-written, and the chorus was so amazing. Let's see if this should be his first countdown appearance on there.


Hayes Warner - Breadcrumbs: She also had a Hit Bound dropout earlier this year and it was called Dead To Me, and I've been enjoying this song back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Dead To Me. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Hayes's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.


Jung Kook/Jack Harlow - 3D: Since Seven hit the Top 10 on the countdown, we now have this song making it's debut on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Seven. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing, Jung Kook's vocals were super amazing, Jack's vocals in his verse were also super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.


PinkPantheress - Mosquito: This is absolutely another phenomenal song and this is actually a step up from Boy's A Liar. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, PinkPantheress's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were pretty nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. But yeah, overall it's such a phenomenal song for me to listen to. I'm really hoping that this should make the countdown soon.
