New Entrants

• Kicking off our entrants with newcomer Austin Brown and his single called In Betweenin'. To be honest, I don't know what to think about this. It's pretty good in some factors but horrible in others. It's obviously better than Mean but just isn't very good but not bad either. Overall, this is decent but this can change anytime soon.
• We have the return of P!nk with her song, Walk Me Home. This song has great vocals and content like P!nk's other music. I love the production behind this as it is something we haven't seen much from P!nk. This obviously isn't her best work like So What, Just Like Fire, and What About Us but this is something that I hope becomes a hit.

Best Debut of the Week: P!nk - Walk Me Home

4. Fletcher - Undrunk

5. Kygo/Valerie Broussard - Think About You

Walk Blurbs Home

• We have a new #1 in the form of Sucker, reaching the top in just three weeks. It's obvious becuase it debuted at #7 and I did expect it to get it so quick. I'm anticipating Sweet But Psycho and Who Do You Love may reach the top spot quickly given Hits 1's frequent AirPlay of the former and the latter, well let's just say that they're major stans of both acts.
• Who Do You Love leaped straight into the Top 5. Of course I'm pretty sure 95% of us are happy about this. It was expected because Hits 1 stans The Chainsmokers and 5 Seconds of Summer so I'm sure it will reach #1 in the next month or two even though it's hovering around the bottom half of Billboard Hot 100.
• It's good to have Happier finally going on a decline. We don't need this filler in our Top 10 so hopefully we can keep it out. There's much better music we are able to have there like This Feeling, Dancing With A Stranger, and Shallow. Plus, with Marshmello's new and much better track Here With Me starting to gain steam and Halsey - Without Me out of the Top 5, we might start seeing a new era within our top half of the countdown.
• Let Me Down Slowly oompfed down eight spots to #12. I'm not feeling the best about this though if it starts falling even more, I know it had an amazing run. Alec Benjamin needs to be pumping out more music so he can actually gain recognition on this radio as he is underrated and needs more steam on the radio. I don't think Let Me Down Slowly even made it onto Billboard Hot 100. Oh well, it did great.
• Shallow took a massive leap straight into the Top 20. I want to review this song as it is a very good song. The production is beautifully done and Bradley Cooper had very good vocals. Lady Gaga did good as always and the duo between the two was probably the most notable part of the song. Their voices combine together so well and the production in the back makes it clash even more. Overall, Shallow is such a good song and I think Hits 1 is making up for the horrible run it had in December.
• 2002 is finally losing steam which is good for our radio. We don't need any more of Anne-Marie's crap especially after that disaster called Don't Leave Me Alone. The only truly good thing she was part of was Rockabye and she didn't really even contribute to that. She's one of the worst pop artists I've seen from last year and we don't need our countdown crowded of easily disposable garbage, just let this one fall. (inb4 it justs hangs around in the Bottom 10 for what feels like an eternity)
• Womp. Natural just fell into the Bottom 5. Well that was going to happen, hopefully this holds out for a while longer. I mean it needs that AirPlay, it's been around for several months. Make it longer as we haven't seen a one-year achievement in quite a while. Our last one was MAX/Gnash - Lights Down Low unexpectedly, if this could pull off that camp-in-the-Bottom-15-for-6-months strategy, that would be great for us. Or maybe Bad Liar can do something great. But something for Imagine Dragons.
• Reviewing our exits, good riddance to Sue Me. Sabrina Carpenter certainly hit a wall with that song as Why and On My Way are much better songs that could've been here. Don't Go Breaking My Heart was such a good song and a great comeback for the Backstreet Boys. Hopefully the rest of DNA can make an accomplishment onto here though it's very unlikely as it was literally a 2018 album, nothing will make it on, right? (insert Shallow re-entry here)

New Entrants

• Our lone entrant this week comes from the Jonas Brothers in the form of Sucker, debuting at a sky high #7. This surpasses the summit made by Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe several years back. I definitely like the vocals within this is the unique beat makes this better. I never really liked this at first but it just took some time and this is definitely one of the better end songs this week. This definitely has some potential over the next few weeks to reach the top spot so I would love to see this hit the top spot. This clearly dominates two songs that need to get out of the Top 5. Overall, this song is quite good and has the capacity to enter the Top 5 in the next few weeks.

No HitBound for now.

A Little Blurbs, I Hope You Can Show Me

• Hey Look Ma, I Made It holds its top position this week. I'm quite happy with this as this is definitely a better scenario for #1 this week. I would love to see Sucker, Let Me Down Slowly, or Sweet but Psycho make it on top but this is also a good choice for top hit. Time will tell.
• I don't know who keeps voting for Happier. Whoever is, stop it. I'm losing interest and we don't need this song to be Lights Down Low. And before Ninja asks, the Fortnite concert never made it better. it just made this become more popular and made it even more torturing to hear.
• One of what might be the more surprising opinions will be on Let Me Down Slowly. I feel this song has a nice meaning but not the best vocals. What it lacks in the production makes up for. It's very simple and clear in the music. This is most certainly better than most of Alec Benjamin's tracks so it stands out and I feel it deserves the top very soon. This could potentially grow out but it will take a lot of time. If you want an honest review for another song, let me know and I'll reply as swiftly as possible.
• Tequila is slowly going on what seems like a decline. This song has been long enjoyed and loved and it's sad to see it's slowly fading away. Flash back to last year and how Lights Down Low held out for a year unexpectedly. If this could pull off something similar to it, this would definitely be able to be something on this chart.
• It seems that Tell Me It's Over will be leaving soon. F in the chat, hopefully this great song can hold out for a few extra weeks before leaving. This song never got the respect it deserved and it had so much potential to become big.
• It's awesome to see that The Way I Am is being reduced to the Bottom 5. This song never deserved to become a hit in the first place and it needs to go soon. I know Charlie Puth can do so much better but he doesn't show it here.
• As far as the exits go, Sicko Mode was good and deserved much more on this radio. But because this is a "family-friendly" channel (I quote it because we have 7 Rings, Thank U, Next, etc.), this never really got anywhere. It blew up on other channels and it's not exactly nice to see it wasn't much of a hit on this channel.
