Lady Gaga (3) Week Of December 14, 2024

So I've turned 22 on Wednesday. Gosh, this feels so good to be in that age. Also, I have some Year-End posts coming out after I get done with this post. So look forward to that. Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks super amazing. We do have lots of more amazing stuff happening on there this week including our lone debut that debuted high on there which was actually super cool. 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 out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Shaboozey - Good News, Morgan Wallen - Love Somebody, The Weeknd - Dancing In The Flames and Lady Gaga - Disease (+5) all took the biggest jump this week. They all deserve to take it! What a week it has been for all of them! I'm so pleased to see them all do that.

I'm not too thrilled to see LISA - Moonlit Floor, Myles Smith - Stargazing and Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club (-5) take the biggest drops. Why would they all do that? But hopefully they'll move back up soon, although I'm sure Stargazing is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry: Since Close To You hit the Top 3, this song finally debuts the countdown after dropping out of Hit Bound back in August and spending months in the abyss. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as That's So True, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Gracie'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 do amazing on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: It dropped out of the Top 3 which I'm actually fine with. But again it still had an amazing run in there so I'll still give credit to that. But I'm sure it's going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

4. Lady Gaga - Disease: Thanks to it's biggest jump this week, this song has now made it's debut in the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see it in there and I'm sure hoping that it should go to the Top 3 soon.

3. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: Well I'm sure this song is going to be out of the Top 3 very soon. But again it still had a nice run in there. But let's see what happens next with it.

2. Gracie Abrams - Close To You: It came back to the Top 5 and debuted the Top 3 this week. I'm so pleased to see that, although I'm sure this is definitely not hitting the top spot. But maybe it might drop out of the Top 3 very soon.

1. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Gosh, this song sure has been doing super well with airplay on there recently. I'm so pleased that it's still in there again. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Meg Donnelly - In My Bag

2. Lola Young - Messy (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Lola Young - Messy: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And of course I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And now, here she is making her first ever Hits 1 appearance this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, Lola's vocals were super heavenly, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super heavenly. This is going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of next year when it makes the countdown. Hopefully it'll be in there soon.

TWICE/Megan Thee Stallion - Strategy: I've actually known this K-Pop girl group band because I've heard The Feels a few years ago which Hits 1 should've picked up because that was a fun song. And now, here they are with their first appearance on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from The Feels. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, the girls from TWICE sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, the chorus was so heavenly, and Megan's rapping in her verse was super phenomenal. Here's to hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

Raye - Oscar Winning Tears: This song was actually released almost 2 years ago and now it has becoming popular since it apparently played over a video of her reacting to her 2025 Grammy nominations which I think is so interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Raye's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
