New Entrants
- Our lone entry comes from none other than Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus with a rerelease of Old Town Road. I can understand why one wouldn't like this song but personally I am a fan. I like the production and even with the trap parts, I kinda like the country incorporation. Billy Ray Cyrus did a pretty good job with the chorus and I think the inclusion of Lil Nas X was very good. Overall, I don't see it becoming a huge hit on the countdown just because but this is a good song that should at least do something
(inb4 leaves next week). Overall Rating: 9/10

Old Town Blurb
- Speechless and Dancing With A Stranger have entered the Top 10. I am quite happy about both and extra happy about which songs they replaced. Let Me Down Slowly is still someting I am losing interest in and Happier is just generic garbage. Hopefully it starts going on a decline.
- Walk Me Home and Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored made some expected jumps into the Top 20. I lost a bit of interest in the former and the latter I don't really care much about it. Ariana is going downhill quickly so I don't really like Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored but it's fine that it's here for now.
- However, I am very happy that I've Been Waiting jumped up into the Top 20. I am a big fan of this song and I think the three collaborators may score a goal with this song on the radio. Fun fact: I was not a fan at all before and look now. My biggest guilty pleasure of the year so far.
- Here With Me jumped to #24 on its second week. I'm quite pleased about this and I can see it becoming a big hit in the future. I'm very proud of CHVRCHES for finally getting themselves what looks like a mainstream hit as I saw it on Billboard Hot 100 a few weeks ago.
- 7 Rings took a big drop. This song is so grating that I am actually very happy about it. It almost soulds like Ariana is whispering in the chorus because I was playing it at volume 6/25 which is decent for my laptop and I barely heard the chorus. The lyrics are horrible too; it's her bragging about her money and belongings and all the other crap she has. Overall this is putrid and a huge disgrace to the pop genre, please let it leave.
- Not so happy about Chlorine taking a tumble though. I actually like this song quite a bit and I'm not happy to see it didn't even take a spot in the Top 10 yet (at least I don't think it did). If they come back, I wish they would turn back more to songs like Stressed Out and Ride.
- As far as our lone exit goes, I'm not very happy about Apologize leaving. I like the production and vibe as well as the rock feeling that Grandson's vocals put out. If you haven't already, you should hear some of his other songs including Blood/Water which I absolutely love. I will say my condolences for Apologize; goodbye, we will miss you. Grandson shall come back with a real hit.
- Something I find strange is that they removed six songs from the voting poll and added three. Then on the real week we got two HitBound debuts and one exit. Maybe they were preemptively removing the songs so we could expect a big week soon. After all, So Close and Bury A Friend left HitBound but played quite a lot, maybe they are trying to pull another March 16-23 on us where songs that exited HitBound in one week debut the countdown on the next week.
