5 Oldest Songs

1. Dasha - Austin (26)

2. Madison Beer - Make You Mine (25)

3. Teddy Swims - The Door (23)

4. Tie between Benson Boone - Slow It Down and Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (21)

5. Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy) (20)

First up we have the return of The Weeknd, and it's a pretty good song. Abel sounds good, and the production is as great as always. My only complaint is it sounds like all the After Hours and Dawn FM singles all mushed into one song. I get that it's the lead single from the third album in the series, but I wish there was a bit of originality.

Making it's way out of the abyss is Diet Pepsi, and this one definitely grew on me. Addison sounds good, and the production is a bop. The ending is pretty great too.

KATSEYE is back after Debut flopped, and their second single Touch debuts today. This one's pretty good. The chorus gets a bit annoying, but the girls sound good, and the production slaps.

Tate McRae is back with It's ok I'm ok, and it's such a bop. The production is great, Tate sounds amazing, and it's just so catchy. I just wish it was a bit longer, because it's so good.

Can we stop stanning Alex Warren? Burning Down is a great song, but we didn't need it? Anyways, Alex sounds good like always, and the production is good. Hopefully I'll review his new album soon.

Ava Max is one of those artists like Dua Lipa I used to stan, but has recently faded away for me. Spot A Fake is pretty good, but is really forgettable, and I wouldn't come back to it.

FIFTY FIFTY is back after some legal drama and an entire new lineup of members with SOS. This one is really boring, and the production is super lackluster. The girls at least sound good.

Haiden Henderson is back with his second song this year, and it's pretty okay. It's pretty forgettable, but Haiden sounds good, and the production is definitely there.

Exits:

Alex Warren - Troubled Waters (2)

Mike Posner - Beautiful Day (1)

Troubled Waters was better than Burning Down, and Beautiful Day I couldn't care less about.

Abyss

Megan Thee Stallion/Yuki Chiba - Mamushi

Kesha - JOYRIDE

Eminem - Houdini

Meghan Trainor - Whoops

Hayes Warner - Predator

David Guetta/OneRepublic - I Don't Wanna Wait

The Kid Laroi - GIRLS

Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay

Notes:

- We lost the boy is mine, Guess, JOYRIDE, and (temporarily) Mamushi. We know what happened to Mamushi, and JOYRIDE is in the abyss, so I hope it comes back. RIP Guess, even though you were destined to fail, and the boy is mine deserved to go.

- Lonely Road??

- Nice jump for Ego off it's debut.

- Yay! Miles On It died!!

- Why's Pretty Slowly going up? It's a non single?

- Die With A Smile should really be moving more...

- Austin might be on its way out.

- Apple and Stargazing had greatly deserved jumps.

- Let's go HOT TO GO!!!

- I Can Do It With a Broken Heart REALLY needs to get #1

- BIRDS OF A FEATHER :(

- Good Luck, Babe! FINALLY hit #1!! This is really late but I'm so glad it hit #1, as it's one of my favorite songs of the year.

Well, that's it! Hopefully see you soon for an album review, countdown post, or really anything!
