Hello, fam! We’re officially heading into the first full week of summer! While there was a drop-off in terms of activity this week, at least things are looking better in Hits 1 Countdown land than the AT40. I don’t really have too much else to say. It’s like I can’t come up with something interesting to talk about in my introductions. But hey, at least I can be able to get posts out quickly. There are no songs leaving the countdown this week, so let’s get right to it!
The Countdown:
Last Week’s #1 Song: Panic! At The Disco – Say Amen (Saturday Night)
45. Charlie Puth – How Long (#44) [–1] [Spent 2 Weeks At #1]
44. Camila Cabello – Havana (#45) [+1] [Spent 1 Week At #1]
43. ZAYN – Let Me (#39) [–4]
42. Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso featuring Florida Georgia Line and Watt – Let Me Go (#40) [–2] [Spent 1 Week At #1]
41. G-Eazy featuring Halsey – Him & I (#43) [+2]
#1 Song This Week One Year Ago: The Chainsmokers featuring Coldplay – Something Just Like This (3rd and Final Week At #1)
Biggest DRRRRRRROP!!! Of The Week: Tie between Rudimental featuring Jess Glynne, Macklemore, and Dan Caplen – These Days and Echosmith – Over My Head (–16)
Biggest Jump Of The Week: Post Malone featuring Ty Dolla $ign – Psycho (+23)
Blurbin’ On A Prayer
– It’s nice to see Brendon Urie and co. at #1 for the third week in a row. Like I said last week, I think this may be the song of the summer, at least on this countdown. They just recently released their album, Pray For The Wicked this week. I’m sure it’s really good. I’ll just have to take a listen.
– We have two new entrants in the Top 5 this week. The re-entry from Delicate isn’t surprising considering it’s still doing pretty well elsewhere, but I’m not complaining. Friends, on the other hand, I’m not thrilled about at all. That one shouldn’t even be up there. It needs to seriously move down, but I doubt it’ll happen unfortunately.
– …..Did we really need Psycho to be in the Top 10, let alone having the Biggest Jump Of The Week??? Who is voting for this? I’m already having to deal with this being #1 on the AT40. Let’s PLEASE not make it happen here.
– However, we do have some new songs entering the Top 10 that I’m pleased about. Sit Next To Me at #6 was pretty unexpected, but I’ll take it. I Wanna Know is also surprising. I wonder will these two somehow become elusive hits on this countdown? Only time will tell on that.
– On the note of other big jumps I’m not very thrilled about, we have I Like Me Better roaring back into the Top 20 again. Come on, people. I was just softening on that song. Now, it’s nearly impossible for me to hate the song a little less.
– As one song from 5 Seconds Of Summer drops out of the Top 20, another one takes its place in that region. Youngblood has made its way there in its second with that big jump. We’ll see how well Hits 1 can treat this one. I haven’t listened to their latest album yet. But judging by its first two singles, it sounds pretty good. Maybe there’s another song or two that I’ll probably like.
– The guest DJ that introduced One Foot called her kids by her superhero names! I’ll bet they watch a lot of superhero cartoons, kinda like I did back in the day.
Hit-Bound:
- Cardi B. – I Like It
- MNEK featuring Hailee Steinfeld – Colour
- Fall Out Boy – The Last Of The Real Ones
- Sugarland featuring Taylor Swift – Babe
- Backstreet Boys – Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
- lovelytheband – Broken
- Panic! At The Disco – High Hopes
- Dennis Lloyd – Nevermind
- Julia Michaels featuring Trippie Redd – Jump (DEBUT)
- Meghan Trainor – Let You Be Right
- In Real Life – Tattoo (How ‘Bout You)

- Cole Redding – Father Father
– So, we have only one debut on Hit-Bound this week. Julia Michaels makes her return with her new single titled Jump. I’m not really loving this one too much. Her vocals are okay, but Trippie Redd doesn’t do much for me and nothing else about the rest of the song stands out to me. I may have it in blue for now, but it could change.

Songs That Debuted This Week One Year Ago:
Jon Bellion – Overwhelming: While it’s not a standout track for Jon Bellion, I think it’s still a good song overall in terms of both the production and his vocals. I do wish it had some success like All Time Low did.
Erin Bowman – Good Time Good Life: This song kinda reminds of Right Here, Right Now from Fatboy Slim. I can simply say it’s an enjoyable song for the most part. Erin Bowman did impress me with this solid track.
Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber – Despacito: Unlike some people, I have not soured on this song at all. Not even a little bit. I like the idea of bringing Justin Bieber to sing Spanish. That was cool.
Noah Cyrus – Stay Together: I thought this song had potential mainly because the production is better than that of its predecessor. But my goodness, her vocals brought the song down for me.
QOTW: Panic! At The Disco just released a new album called Pray For The Wicked. What are your thoughts on the album?
