Lady Gaga (4) Week Of December 28, 2024

So this is the last countdown of 2024. It sure has been quite another phenomenal year with music on there. And I'm sure looking forward to see what 2025 brings up 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. We did welcome back a song that was in my Top 10 Songs of the year on there and our Top 5 looks so interesting. But I'm gonna get to that 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 to see Gracie Abrams - That's So True (+13) taking the biggest jump. This totally deserves to gain lots of airplay! Now, hopefully this should go in the Top 10 very soon.

Gracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm Sorry (-9) somehow took the biggest drop since That's So True took the biggest jump, and I'm not really too thrilled to see that. But hopefully it'll move back up very soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

KATSEYE - Touch: No debuts this week, we only have 2 songs coming back in there. I actually did not expect this song to come back to the countdown, but I'm pleased that it somehow did it. Now, let's see how this one does on it's second run in there.

David Guetta/Alphaville/Ava Max - Forever Young: I'm super pleased to see this song back on the countdown. And of course this song was in my Top 10 Songs of the year as it ranked at #6 on there. It's pretty awesome to see this song come back in there and I'm sure hoping that this song should do better in it's second run.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: It dropped back out of the Top 3 which I actually expected. But it still had another nice time in there. But I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

4. Gracie Abrams - Close To You: Yeah I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 5 very soon. Maybe I'll keep it in there for at least one more week or so.

3. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. And now she has her first ever Top 3 song on there which was exciting, but can this be her first ever #1 song on there? Hopefully it'll be at the top spot soon.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: It dropped back out of the top spot. But it still had another nice time in there last week. But I'm sure it's going to drop out of the Top 3 very soon.

1. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: I'm pleased to see this song back at the top spot. I kinda expected it to happen because I know it has been getting popular lately. Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot on it's second time in there.

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

1. The Marias - No One Noticed

2. Rose - Drinks Or Coffee (DEBUT)

3. Almost Monday - Can't Slow Down

4. SZA - BMF (DEBUT)

14. SZA - Drive

15. Crash Adams - Optimist

16. Nessa Barrett/Artemas - Mustang Baby

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Rose - Drinks Or Coffee: She replaces herself on there once again. Though I wasn't really to thrilled to see Toxic Till The End drop out of here this week, but as far as this new song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Toxic Till The End, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Rose'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.

SZA - BMF: It's so interesting that she now has 2 songs on there this week. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Drive. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, SZA's vocals were so incredible, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Maybe this should be on the countdown soon and I'm sure Drive will drop out of here. Let's see if this should make the countdown soon.

Dasha - Bye Bye Bye: I actually didn't expect this song to come back on there, but I'm actually glad to see it happen. Now, let's see if this should have another chance to be on the countdown soon.

Kesha - Delusional: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is absolutely another phenomenal and fun song and it's actually a step up from Joyride. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal and it actually somewhat has some vibes of her earlier music which is so interesting, and Kesha's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.
