Wow, 8 debuts! Let's get started...
First up, Justin Bieber makes his grand return with his first song on Hits 1 with "Honest" from 2022, and he also releases his first album since "Justice" from 2021. His new album is called "SWAG" and his new song is called Daisies. This is just alright. It was very forgettable and the production was borderline boring. Hopefully his much better song Walking Away becomes the big hit instead.
Also making a grand return is K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK, in full. Jump, produced by Diplo, is their first release as a group since a song called The Girls in 2023, the first song on Hits 1 since Pink Venom in 2022, and it's their only third song ever on Hits 1. This is good, but wasn't able to stick with me enough first listen. Nonetheless the girls sound good and the production from Diplo is nice.
Another K-Pop girl group debuts, but this time it was KATSEYE replacing themselves with Gabriela instead of Gameboy. Sorry, This is very forgettable.
AJR is another group making their return. Inertia was their last song on Hits 1, late 2023 into 2024. Betty is good but sounds like the same thing they have made ten times before so it doesn't stick out to me much. Still, it's cute.
I normally like Thomas Day, but She Got A Thing About Her is too forgettable for me to enjoy thoroughly. Also, for some reason Hits 1 calls it "She Got A Thing About" and forgot the 'her' part. Hopefully this can grow on me like the other Thomas Day songs.
Now for the great debuts. Conan Gray returns to Hits 1 for the first time in almost a year in a half and he debuts with Vodka Cranberry. Yes, it's slow. Yes, It's beautiful. I love beautiful songs as most of you know, and this one is no exception. Hopefully this does something and doesn't become like all his other songs that drop out of HitBound after a week.
Some random guy named Jasontheween collaborates with everyone's favorite d4vd for Summer Uptown. But, wait, this is actually pretty fun! Hopefully this can do something because, yeah, i like this a lot!.
Vampire Diaries is the second single off the new Mgk album 'lost americana' which releases August 8th. This isn't quite as good as Cliché, but it is still great. I was debating whether to give this my purple award or to give the award to Vodka Cranberry, and while i gave it to Vodka Cranberry, This song is still really great and could grow on me.
Exits
All Time Low - Suckerpunch [4]
Katseye - Gameboy [2]
Jessie Murph - Touch Me Like A Gangster [5]
Benson Boone - Mr. Electric Blue [3]
Kesha - The One [2]
Lizzo feat. SZA - IRL [2]
Twenty One Pilots - The Contract [4]
Lorde - Shapeshifter [2]
All of these are going into the ether to never be remembered again except for The One, which finds itself in the Abyss. But that's fine, because other than Mr. Electric Blue and The Contract, I didn't really care for these.
We are now up to 106 dropouts so far, lol.
Vodka Cranblurby:
With no debuts, we also have no exits. Although 8 songs dropped out of HitBound, and only one of them has a chance of debuting the countdown.
Two weeks after jumping 13, Tate McRae's 'Just Keep Watching' is down 11. Okay, i guess.
Three songs made long awaited drops; Anxiety to #18, Abracadabra to #13 and Busy Woman to #11. Although the last one got replaced in the top 5 by Manchild, which will probably be #1 for 16 weeks or something.
Blue Strips finally made it out of the bottom 5. You can do it too, Nokia...
Azizam and End Of The World are back in the top 5. I don't know why because these two songs are gone on Mediabase.
That's all for now, see you all next week!
