Hits 1 be like nah f*ck music meta logic (#1) [13th Record-Breaking Week at #1] (.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................)
#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night) (3/4)
Biggest DROP!!!... of the Week: Marshmello ft. Bastille - Happier (-17)
Biggest Jump of the Week: Ciara - Thinkin Bout You (+21)
New Entrants
- There's two entrants, one that Hits 1 is overrating and the other I'm actually surprised about. I'm gonna start with the first one which is With You by Kaskade and Meghan Trainor. Honestly, I'm surprised they did a whole premiere for this because I thought this would really only be a hit in the United Kingdom and Canada but I guess not. This is actually really good for Meghan's choreography but compared to the rest of the countdown... yeah no. Her vocals are mediocre here but the production is kinda cool, I guess. The drop is underwhelming but that's kind of it. It's an okay song for the time being.
- The second song is Cool by the Jonas Brothers which takes home the award for the second highest debut of all-time. To be fair, this is a good song. Not as good as pre-#1 Sucker but I'll still take it. I think Nick and Joe have some good vocals. The production is a little underwhelming for a bit of the song but I really like the electric guitar solo before the bridge. The references are pretty cool too. There's some James Dean, Game of Thrones, even Post Malone. So yeah. This feels like it'll fade quickly like Sucker or Close to Me but it's good for now.

Lately I've Been Blurbing So Cool
Lately I've Been Blurbing So Cool
- I'm gonna save my rant for last. But for now, let's just start with the rest of the Top 5. I Don't Care rose into the Top 5 and it seems like I may not be able to get into this. Sorry to everyone who likes it but it just feels bland in my opinion. My apology.
- Nothing new in the Top 10 though. Here With Me fell out of the Top 5 which is sad because I thought it had some momentum here after reaching #5. I guess not though.
- Why is it that after two and a half months, Thinkin Bout You is just now gaining a crap ton of steam? It's a decent song but I feel like this peak could've been made a while ago. I hope this is its peak.
- One spot lower is Someone You Loved entering the Top 20. Now I know there are people who want to burn me in the comments but hear me out. This is way too overhated. He does have some scratchy vocals but that's where the pain ends. The production is good and the lyrics are nice. Basically a recap of what I said two months. Roast me all you want but Lewis Capaldi is overhated.
- ...and just like that, Talk is in the Top 20. What I can't believe is that his highest peaking song on Billboard is his worst song. Songs like Eastside, Better, and Location are really good but this is an embarassment for him. We have So Am I in the Top 20 too which I don't really mind. As long as it isn't the next Sweet But Psycho, I'm okay with it up here for a while.
- As far as Top 20 exits go, it looks like the end for Walk Me Home. It's annoying because I just grew into this and now it's tumbling out? Really? We also have Dancing With A Stranger out which I'm not satisfied with because it's a great song (30 Pop participant Grandpa's opinion doesn't count). Love Me Less fell out of the Top 20 too which I guess I'm fine with. It's not MAX's best work so I don't mind it. On the other hand, Bad Guy is freefalling. It's pretty overrated so I'm perfectly good with it leaving soon. What I find really interesting is the fact that Bad Liar tumbled straight out of the Top 10 to #21. I guess it's not that surprising because it never really played but come on, the week flew by pretty fast. So yeah, that's out.
- High Hopes fell to #34 which is great. It's one week away from lasting a year on the countdown but based on the Wutchuwant survey I got, this might actually leave on the week it would have lasted a year, barely missing the cut.
- As far as the exits go, Boy With Luv sucks and I overrated it in the start. It's really underwhelming and I know these guys can make good music but they choose not to. Tequila sadly left and it was two or so months from lasting a year on the countdown. It really pisses me off because it's a great song and it deserved a lot of success. I believe it was also cut off from its one year anniversary on Billboard by one week because of either Tyler the Creator or Miley Cyrus' new albums (Igor and She Is Coming).
- Now the moment you've been waiting for. You should be able to guess the #1 by now and I decided to be nice and give you a picture hint this week. If you give up, it's Sucker for the record-breaking 13th week in a row. It's a bummer that this, the least deservant song of 10+ weeks at #1 is breaking the record and making itself undefeatable. And remember guys, this is all because the Jonas Brothers returned. Let me just say it myself: we get it. The Jonas Brothers are back and they have a new album (it's a good album, check it out, it's called Happiness Begins) but this is not a record-breaking title when a lot of people don't give two sh*ts about them. They made classics like Burnin' Up. But then this rolled around, I enjoyed it. So did Hits 1. Then they suddenly it's the best song of all time despite the fact that it's been around since the beginning of March and streamed like it's radio Avatar. It's hard to believe that despite the fact that half the world doesn't care or know about the Jonas Brothers, Hits 1 suddenly thinks they're gods
like Keanu Reevesand give them a record breaking title. It's honestly so unsatisfying and it's basically the only #1 I've blogged about this whole time. It's been THREE MONTHS since the last #1 that wasn't Sucker! And Hits 1 does not care at all and continues streaming it like absolutely nothing happened. I know I've repeated myself several times throughout this rant but let me say this: no one cares. Hopefully soon enough, Hits 1 forgets this song existed and we can all move on from this accident.
That was fun. Hopefully you read the whole thing because I spent my entire day writing this.
