So now, I'm going to tell you my Lights Over Paris award this year. So, I decided to give this award to:

2023 Lights Over Paris Hit Bound Hero Award: Charlieonafriday - I'm Not Crazy

Now, let's talk about the shortest and longest tenured songs on the countdown. As far as that goes, we only had one song that was on the countdown for the shortest time this year. But some of them lasted a long time on there. So, here are the songs that have their shortest and longest tenured countdown run on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown this year.

Shortest Tenured Song:

Zayn - Love Like This (1 Week) (Debuted On July 29, 2023; Exited On August 5, 2023)

Longest Tenured Song:

Fall Out Boy - Love From The Other Side (22 Weeks) (Debuted On January 28, 2023; Exited On July 1, 2023)

And the last thing I want to mention is the Biggest Whiff Of The Year. That means it's the biggest song on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 chart that failed to be on Hits 1. So, here's the biggest song of the year on Billboard that failed to be on Hits 1.

2023 Biggest Whiff Of The Year Award Winner: The Weeknd/Ariana Grande - Die For You
