Our one debut is Fortnight. Once again, I'll review this more in my TTPD review, but there's a few things I wanna mention. I feel like a song like I Can Do It With a Broken Heart or Florida!!! would have been a better lead single, but they always have the next single. Also I wish Post Malone got more time to shine then just backing vocals, as he's severely under utilized.

Hit-Bound:

Michael Marcagi - Scared To Start (4)

Lay Banks - Tell Ur Girlfriend (Debut)

People R Ugly - DUMB (3)

Lauv - Potential (Debut)

Jessie Murph - Cold (Debut)

d4vd - Feel It (3)

Knox - Change Your Mind (2)

twenty one pilots - Backslide (Debut)

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait (4)

Doja Cat - OKLOSER (Debut)

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! (3)

Mark Ambor - Belong Together (3)

Artemas - i like the way you kiss me (3)

Teddy Swims - Apple Juice (Debut)

OneRepublic - Nobody (3)

Kygo/Zak Abel/Nile Rodgers - For Life (Debut)

Tell Ur Girlfriend has recently been going viral on TikTok, and for good reason. It's a really fun, catchy song. I hope this does well, and I think it will, as normally the second spot on Hit-Bound is saved for upcoming hits.

Lauv released the lead single off of his upcoming album, and I enjoy it. It's got that trap-pop vibe a lot of songs have now, and it's pretty good. Excited to see what else comes off the album.

Jessie Murph is back, again, with Cold. The production sounds like the trap-pop I was just talking about. It's basically like country that has not-country production lol. It would be green if she could just have a decent voice.

twenty one pilots are back after having Overcompensate undeservingly flop, and delaying their album Clancy by a week. This one is not as good as Overcompensate but better than Next Semester. Hope this actually gets a chance.

Doja Cat recently pushed OKLOSER to radio, which is replacing MASC today. It sounds more like an actual Doja song, which is good. I definitely prefer this over MASC, and I'm hoping it gets to the countdown next week.

Teddy Swims released a deluxe version of his album I've Tried Everything But Therapy yesterday, and Hits 1 picked Apple Juice off of it. This is a fun song, and it kinda reminds me of Waffle House from last year.

Finally Kygo, Zak Abel, Nile Rodgers collab for For Life. This is just an average EDM song I could do with or without with.

Dropouts:

Doja Cat/Teezo Touchdown - MASC (3)

Mimi Webb - Mistake (2)

vaultboy - you're my moon (2)

Ava Max - My Oh My (3)

girl in red/Sabrina Carpenter - You Need Me Now? (3)

Porter Robinson - Cheerleader (4)

I hope Mistake, My Oh My, and You Need Me Now? are in the abyss, but ESPECIALLY 

You Need Me Now?.

And For a Blurbnight, There We Were:

We only lost Shakes this week. It was a good song, but it wasn't meant to last long.

Some big drops in the bottom half, including II MOST WANTED and Selfish dropping 9 spots, and ASOBH dropping 12. No idea why II MOST WANTED dropped 9 after jumping 9 last week, Selfish is getting annoying and I hope it's replaced by No Angels, and ASOBH shouldn't have dropped.

Glad to see (most of) last week's debuts jumping.

Been Like This, Too Sweet, and Austin all got jumps into the top 15/10. Happy for all of them.

Glad to see obsessed continuing to move.

Feather got replaced by Beautiful Things this week, which I'm happy about, as it deserves its time to shine.

That's all guys, see you later!

For some reason On My Mama re-entered, which isn't terrible, but the songs fading on me and getting slightly annoying.

Super glad The Door and Blame Brett got out of the abyss quickly, as sometimes songs go to die in there. These songs definitely deserve to smash, and I hope The Door gets pushed to Pop.

Another song making it's way out of the abyss is Made For Me. It's a pretty solid song, so it deserved to make it.

Both Illusion and Espresso are gaining lots of spins and doing very well on the charts, so I'm glad to see them here. Also, they're just really catchy and fun songs.

Hit-Bound:

Doja Cat/Teezo Touchdown - MASC (3)

Taylor Swift/Post Malone - Fortnight (Debut)

Mimi Webb - Mistake (2)

Mark Ambor - Belong Together (2)

Knox - Change Your Mind (Debut)

Artemas - i like the way you kiss me (2)

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait (3)

People R Ugly - DUMB (2)

Porter Robinson - Cheerleader (Re-Entry)

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe! (2)

Cheerleader's back. Yippee?

You'll hear more Fortnight in my TTPD + The Anthology review, but all you need to know for now is it's a great song.

Change Your Mind will most likely debut this week, so I'll review it then.

Dropout:

Benson Boone - Cry (2) [In Abyss]

Don't Blame Me, Blame Blurb:

All the debuts from last week jumped!

Kissing Strangers is getting kind of annoying, so I'm okay with it kinda flopping. Shakes shouldn't be though.

Lots of movement with great songs in the bottom half!

Live footage of Hits 1 during the top 9:

😴😴😴💤💤💤

That's it! I'll see you guys in the next post tomorrow!

I actually did a big project! (I'M DOING IT AGAIN BABY! Review)

When Norwegian singer-songwriter and record producer Marie Ulven Ringheim or girl in red's song Too Much debuted Hit-Bound, I didn't really think much about it. I remembered Serotonin from years ago, and that she was an opener on Taylor Swift's Eras Tour (aka the best tour ever). By the time it debuted the countdown it had grown on me to a pretty good song.

Then DOING IT AGAIN BABY! got recommended to me, and that was an instant banger. That song is precisely why I got hyped when she was teaming up with fellow Eras Tour opener Sabrina Carpenter for You Need Me Now?. It instantly became my favorite of the three singles, which is why I got hyped for the album. Did it disappoint? Well, we're about to find out!

1. I'm Back (3/5):

The lead track is the worst one on the album. Not a great way to keep people enticed. While it's not a bad song, it's not too upbeat and it's a little bit bland for my liking.

2. DOING IT AGAIN BABY! (5/5)

This one tickles my theater brain. I love how the chorus goes up and down the scale, it somehow sounds amazing without out sounding childish. Also the crescendo in the "I'm doing it again" part makes it sound ten times better than without. I also love the fireworks there and the constant production changes. Fantastic song.

3. Too Much (5/5):

One thing I love in songs is when the progress throughout, and that's something this album does really well. This one starts off slow in the first verse and chorus, starts building up in the second, then finally lets loose in the bridge. The production is really fun here, fantastic song.

4. Phantom Pain (3/5):

So, as you may know, girl in red makes some interesting choices to spice up songs that sometimes pay off, but others don't. This song starts off good, but it gets really weird in the last minute, causing it to sound really odd. If she removed the last part, this would be a 5/5, but I can't ignore that part.

5. You Need Me Now? (feat. Sabrina Carpenter) (5/5):

We've arrived at the best song in the album. The production is so fun, and I love the post chorus she's basically rapping. Now the controversial part, Sabrina's intro. I think it's really silly and fun. Sabrina's part slaps, and I love how they mix the chorus and the last verse in the outro. Perfection, hope this smashes on radio.

6. A Night To Remember (5/5):

Halfway through! Another song where it gradually builds up. It starts off as a piano ballad then gets to a normal girl in red song. Another really solid song.

7. Pick Me (5/5):

A powerful piano ballad could either suck or be amazing. This one's amazing because it's not too slow and builds. You can tell I love song progression, right? The outro is also pretty majestic and cool. Anyways, this song is great.

8. Ugly Side (4/5):

This one reminds me of Heathens in a good way. She does kinda sound annoying though. It doesn't take away from the song too much though.

9. New Love (5/5):

This is just a really fun song that makes you wanna dance. It kinda reminds me of a Coldplay or OneRepublic song. One of my favorites off the album.

10. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5):

We finally reached the end. Probably the most interesting song. I love the rapping and the production. It seems like a song Kenya Grace or Tate McRae would record. The outro is fun too.

Overall Rating: 45/50 (90%)

On first listen, it wasn't that good. I guess going back and listening through it fully really helped. I really enjoyed this one. Expect to see more album reviews soon, like Fireworks and Rollerblades, and TTPD! Cya next time guys, and don't forget to submit for May Madness!
