So this is the last countdown of 2023. It sure has been quite another phenomenal year with music. And I'm really looking forward to see what 2024 brings us with music. Hopefully we should have more amazing songs and less bad songs on there! Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks super amazing. There has been lots of amazing stuff happening on there this week, but I'm gonna get to them later on in this post like always. But other than that, I don't have anything else to say here, so let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 30, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Doja Cat - Agora Hills (+10) taking the biggest jump back in the Top 20. It totally deserves to be back in there! Now, let's see if this should go to the Top 10 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me (-8) taking the biggest drop. It doesn't deserve to lose airplay! But I'm sure this is going to be out of here sometime soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Renee Rapp/Megan Thee Stallion - Not My Fault: So I've heard that earlier next year, she will star in the new Mean Girls movie, which I'm really looking forward to seeing in theaters when it comes out. And now, she has put out a new song from the soundtrack of it making it's debut on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Too Well and Bruises. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Renee's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, the chorus was so heavenly, and Megan's rapping in her verse was pretty heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now: Oh come on! This doesn't deserve to be out of the Top 3! Can we seriously get this song back in there and get to the top spot?

4. Dua Lipa - Houdini: I'm also not too thrilled to see this song out of the Top 3 as well. Although I'm not sure if it'll actually get to the top spot, but let's see if it'll be back in the Top 3 soon.

3. Jonas Brothers/Bailey Zimmerman - Strong Enough: It debuted the Top 5 this week and into the Top 3. I'm pleased to see this song in there, but I'm not sure if it'll actually go to the top spot. But let's see if it does soon.

2. Tate McRae - Greedy: I'm pleased that it's back in the Top 3, but again I'm sure it's not going to come back to the top spot. But maybe it might stay in there for a couple more weeks longer at the very least.

1. Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back!: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. Gosh, this song sure has been doing so amazing on there recently. But I'm sure another song might take over the top spot very soon, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Mitski - My Love Mine All Mine

2. Victoria Monet - On My Mama

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Jagwar Twin - Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa): So this is a rare 17th Hit Bound song that made it's debut on there this week. And what I've noticed about this song is that it actually samples the Oompa Loompa song from the 1971 Willy Wonka movie, which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, the 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.
