The Kid Laroi (5) Week Of October 9, 2021

The countdown still looks good this week. We did get rid of another piece of trash but unfortunately we replaced it with another really bad song, which sucks. But other than that, we do have an amazing Top 5 this week. I'll get to that one later on in this post, but for now, 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:

Kacey Musgraves - Justified, Lil Nas X - That's What I Want, Jonas Brothers - Who's In Your Head, Doja Cat - Need To Know, Justin Bieber - Ghost and Olivia Rodrigo - Traitor (+4) were all tied for the biggest jump this week?! That's so crazy! Though I'm okay with one of them, but I'm so pleased about the other ones.

I'm not too thrilled about Duncan Laurence - Arcade (-12) taking the biggest drop this week. But I do have a feeling that this might be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Sueco - Paralyzed: Formerly known as Sueco The Child, I remember back in 2019 I listened to his song Fast, and that was a song that I didn't enjoy, but it was okay. But now we have this song, which is so bad. And of course, he is yet to be the next One To Watch, which I'm not cool with. And this is yet to be another pop-punk song which I'm definitely not into it. It's definitely a horrible song. For my opinion, the instrumentation was obnoxious, Sueco's vocals were so bad, and that chorus was so horrible. Although the lyrics were still great, so I'll still give credit to them. But this is a horrible song for me overall. This better not do great on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Weeknd - Take My Breath: Gosh, what is this song doing there still standing at this spot? I've been waiting for weeks to let this song be in the Top 3. But I'm sure it'll definitely be there soon.

4. Dua Lipa - Love Again: I actually didn't want this song to leave the Top 3, but I do have a feeling that this might be out of the Top 5 sometime soon.

3. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: It looks like this song is almost out of the Top 3, but again I'm sure this is going to hang around in there for a couple more weeks longer.

2. Twenty One Pilots - Saturday: It's almost at the top spot! I'm super pleased that it's in that spot. Now, I'm really hoping this should be at the top spot soon. I know Stressed Out and Heathens both hit #1 on there, and now, can this be their 3rd #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out. But I'm not sure if it'll happen.

1. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: Holding the top spot for the 5th week in a row. Gosh, what has this song been doing on there and how is it doing on TikTok? It really has been doing amazing on there. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Mimi Webb - 24 / 5

2. Cheat Codes/Grey/Tyson Ritter - Hurricane

3. Tiesto/Karol G - Don't Be Shy

4. Skylar Grey/Polo G/Mozzy/Eminem - Last One Standing (DEBUT)

5. Trevor Daniel - Alone

6. Madison Beer - Reckless

7. Doja Cat - Get Into It (Yuh)

8. The Anxiety - Meet Me At Our Spot

9. Ckay - Love Awantiti (Ah Ah Ah)

10. Sueco - Paralyzed

11. Maneskin - Mammamia (DEBUT)

12. BBNO$/Rich Brain - Edamame

13. Why Don't We - Love Back (DEBUT)

14. Troye Sivan - Angel Baby

15. Nessa Barrett - I Hope Ur Miserable Until Ur Dead

16. Monsta X - One Day

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Skylar Grey/Polo G/Mozzy/Eminem - Last One Standing: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Now, the last time she was on there was Glorious with Macklemore back in 2017, and that was a song that I enjoyed back then. And now, she's finally back. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a super phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production here was super phenomenal, Polo G, Mozzy and Eminem all sounded super phenomenal in their verses, Skylar's vocals were super phenomenal in the chorus, and the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of. But yeah, this is a super phenomenal song for me overall. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Maneskin - Mammamia: Because of how Beggin is doing on the countdown, this song has now made it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. But not as good as Beggin, but it's still amazing. For my opinion, the production here was super outstanding, the vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and that chorus was super amazing. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Why Don't We - Love Back: This is also another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Lotus Inn, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production here was so amazing, the vocals were super amazing, those lyrics were so nicely-written, and that chorus was super amazing. But yeah, this is another amazing song overall for me to listen to. Although I'm not sure if it'll be on the countdown because it's them. But we're gonna have to see. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
