So the month of December is now officially here and now we are ready to get to the holiday spirit. And this means we are a month away from the new year. Gosh, time sure does fly by so fast. Also, my birthday is coming up next Sunday. I'm gonna be turning 20. Gosh, I sure am getting old. Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it still looks great.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased that Meghan Trainor - Made You Look and AJR - World's Smallest Violin (+5) managed to tie for the biggest jump this week. They deserve it! Now, let's see if they'll go to the Top 10 soon.

I actually did not expect Steve Lacy - Bad Habit (-9) to take the biggest drop this week since it's currently doing so well on the pop radio charts. But I do have a feeling that it's going to be out of here soon.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Lil Nas X - Star Walkin': It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm fine with this song in there. But I'm not sure if it's actually going to be in the Top 3. But if it does soon, I'll still give credit to it.

4. Ava Max - Million Dollar Baby: I'm still waiting for this song to go to the Top 3. But I'm sure hoping that within the next week or so it'll be in there.

3. Lewis Capaldi - Forget Me: This also debuted the Top 5 this week and into the Top 3. I'm so pleased to see it in there as well. He has made his grand return to the Top 5 as well. Now, hopefully this should go to the top spot soon.

2. Sam Smith/Kim Petras - Unholy: Yeah I'd like this song to stay in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer then be on it's way out of here. Let's see how long it should do it.

1. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there. Gosh, Hits 1 sure does love her. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Regard/Drop-G/A-Sho - No Love For You

2. Jordi - Hate You (DEBUT)

3. Nicki Minaj/Maluma/Myriam Fares - Tukoh Taka

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Jordi - Hate You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And she now has her first single on there, which was actually so amazing because this is actually a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Jordi's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should make the countdown soon.

Lizzo - Special: So this is the title track from her album, which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready). As for my opinion, the production was super amazing, Lizzo's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Lewis Capaldi - Pointless: Since Forget Me hit the Top 3 this week, this song has now made it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song and it's actually a step up from Forget Me. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Lewis's vocals were super amazing, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Big Time Rush - Paralyzed: They have made their first appearance on there since Music Sounds Better With U back in 2012. And of course, they were a boy band that starred in the Nickelodeon TV series with the same name and it ran from November 2009 to July 2013. Although I do miss their show, because I really enjoyed watching it at the time when it was around. But this is definitely an amazing song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, the vocals were super amazing, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully it'll make the countdown soon.

Alec Benjamin - Paper Crown: This is just a mediocre song. I know he sure has been making lots of mediocre music lately mainly because of his voice. It's really been 4 years since he has been on there, and he still sounds like a child as of now? No! This can't be. He needs to have a better voice than that. But let's get to my opinion. The production was still awesome, but again Alec's vocals still sound childish here and the chorus was meh. But I don't really mind the lyrics here because I think they're still so nicely-written. But this is mediocre overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Loud Luxury/Kiddo - These Nights: Of course you probably remember back in 2018 these guys had that song Body, which is a decent song for me. But this song is actually way better than Body. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Kiddo's vocals were so phenomenal and he actually doesn't sound like a kiddo which was great, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Jung Kook - Dreamers: This is actually another song taken from the FIFA World Cup soundtrack, which I've actually found interesting. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely another phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Jung Kook's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. I'm sure hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.
