Gracie Abrams (1) Week Of April 5, 2025

So the month of April is now upon us and we are now officially in the second quarter of the year. I feel like the first quarter has been super amazing with music. I'm sure hoping that the next 3 quarters of the year will be more amazing with new music. Hopefully we keep things up during them! Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks so phenomenal. We do have a super phenomenal Top 5 this week followed by another brand new #1 song. But like always, I'm gonna get to that later on in this post. 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 pout of the countdown this week.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Sabrina Carpenter - Feather (2 of 4 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Doechii - Anxiety (+9) take the biggest jump. This really needed to do that because of the Somebody That I Used To Know melody in it. What an amazing week for her! Now, I'm really hoping that this should go to the Top 10 very soon.

I was not surprised to see Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem (-7) drop out of the Top 5 from the top spot with the biggest drop this week. Come on, this really deserves better than that! But I'm sure it's going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Jonas Brothers - Love Me To Heaven: This was actually their first solo song in 2 years which was actually super interesting. And now they're back on there after Slow Motion with Marshmello flopped early this year. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's actually a step up from Slow Motion. With my opinion on it, the production was so amazing, both Joe and Nick's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Tate McRae - Sports Car: I'm super pleased to see this song in the Top 5. This totally deserves to be in there! And I'm really hoping that this should go to the Top 3 and get to the top spot very soon.

4. Rose - Toxic Till The End: I'm so pleased to see this song move up. Now, can we please let this song go to the Top 3 within the next week or so?

3. Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams: I'm still waiting for this song to get to the top spot, but again I'm not sure if it'll do it, but maybe it might drop out of here very soon.

2. Lady Gaga - Abracadabra: I'm still waiting for this song to get to the top spot. But I'm sure hoping that it should definitely be in there next week.

1. Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. This is now her second #1 song in 3 weeks on there which I think is super amazing. But I'm sure another song might take over the top spot next week, but let's see how long it'll hold the spot.

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

1. Jack Harlow/Doja Cat - Just Us

2. Michael Clifford - Cool (DEBUT)

4. Crash Adams - Karaoke (DEBUT)

16. Thomas Day - Sleep When We're Dead

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Michael Clifford - Cool: We now have another 5 Seconds Of Summer member starting to make solo music on there which I think is super amazing. I could say that he actually has an amazing voice but not as good as Luke Hemmings though. But he still has an amazing voice. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Michael's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Crash Adams - Karaoke: After Optimist spent a few months in the abyss, it's now time for another brand new single from them. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Optimist, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, the vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were very remarkable, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Ed Sheeran - Azizam: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. He's now officially back on there for the first time since American Town 2 years ago. And of course he hasn't made an upbeat song in 3 years but now he has finally made one. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's definitely a step up from American Town. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Ed's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super marvelous, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Miley Cyrus - End Of The World: She has made her return on there since Used To Be Young back in 2023 which was actually so amazing because I've actually been waiting for her to come back and make new music. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Used To Be Young, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Miley's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this will be on the countdown soon.

Knox - Going, Going, Gone: This was actually the title track of his first album that he just released which was super interesting. And now he replaces himself on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from 50/50. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Knox's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Hayes Warner - Threw Me Away: This song was actually released the day before this episode of Hit Bound aired which was actually perfect timing because we really needed a lot of those songs to be released the day before they enter there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Oh. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Hayes's vocals were super unstoppable, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
