New Entrants (If there is orange don't mind the orange I dunno what is happening)
~First we'll start off with Let Me Down Slowly. To be honest I could care less about this song. I first thought HE was a she. Searched him up and there is no way that's him singing. He sounds like a kid but I like the music better so...yeah I could care less about this song and what happens. Hopefully it stayed on Hitbound long enough for it to flop here.

~Nervous...This is one of the worst songs from Shawn Mendes that is a fact. I don't like the production. His vocals sound a little scratchy and the music is bland. Hopefully it flops because of that long run on Hitbound.

~Sunflower is up next and again it's whatever as in its just here. It's okay I mean I just don't like it as well as the other green songs. I don't know an exact reason for why my negative opinion on this song, I just don't like it. Vocals are good overall. Production can be a tiny bit better.

~Finally a song that definitely deserves to be on here, we have Consequences. I feel as this a little bit out of Camila's style, but she aced this one really good. The orchestra is just relaxing. I like her vocals and the production is great. The lyrics are deep and meaningful so yeah, it definitely deserved a spot and I hope it gets pushed up.

Newcomers
~First we have Sweet But Psycho by an upcoming artist Ava Max. When I first heard this I was like this is BAD. Now, after more listens it's really good. Her vocals are great and I like the music. This song has put a real good first impression on me definitely.

~Next, is Empty Space by James Arthur. I can't say much but what I can say that this is not James Arthur. The trap he attempts doesn't go well with his vocals for a man who can sing pretty high. He sings so low at first you probably won't even know its him. This is not a good song, especially coming from someone very talented and has great potential like James Arthur.

~Last is Ruin My Life by Zara Larsson which has apparently has become big on Spotify. This song is whatever but sometimes I want to just want to listen to some Don't Go Breaking My Heart. That is only sometimes. Her vocals are good and the music is whatever. Soon enough that "I want to ruin my life, to ruin my life,  to ruin my life" will make me turn this blue and eventually pending how long it stays to red.

~Very surprised Shotgun and Beautiful hung on and Lie moved up.

~Kamikaze took a huge drop out Top 20 to Bottom 10 could possibly be gone next week.

~I Wanna Know and God is a woman dropped out Top 30 which I could care less.

~On the other hand we've got notable jumps from Don't Go Breaking My Heart which is NOT OK, Girls Like You is able to bounce back from last week's big drop which now is starting to grow on me after the break me and this song had, and finally, Without Me...Top 3 close to #1 which is probably what's gonna happen.

~I knew that Hey Look Ma, I Made It wouldn't have lasted in Top 10.

~Yay on Promises and Tequila dropping out of Top 20.

~Surprised that Side Effects is rising back up, but that'll probably change.

~Really...Youngblood leads again I thought Hits 1 would make Happier #1 for another week. I mean, it'll probably claim the spot again soon.

~Overall this week was a let-down. Jumps from crappy songs, drops from decent-good songs, and Youngblood #1 again? Hopefully High Hopes can claim an 8th, at least it'll prevent Without Me and Youngblood from snagging it.

~Almost forgot our dropouts. Jackie Chan just flopped being on here was pointless. Heart To Break had its moment but just randomly left. Free Free Free was unexpected to me from Top 25 to-...oh it's gone well that was a flop to. Finally, Drew Barrymore was just there too. A moral is the longer you are on Hitbound, and if Hits 1 isn't a stan on you or the song, you have a higher percentage of flopping as shown by Jackie Chan and Free Free Free.
