One thing I respect about Billie is how she isn’t afraid to take risks and experiment with her sound. Glad that Mark liked the album, although I’m a bit surprised ‘CHIHIRO’ was his least favourite track. ‘LUNCH’ is definitely going to become a big pride anthem and well done to Billie on her highest debut to date! 🏳🌈
"CHIHIRO" is one of my favorite songs on the album. It doesn't deserve Dishonourable Mention.
@@santaclara6112 Agreed. My least favourite track was 'Wildflower' but even that's still fine.
I'm glad Mark doesn't dislike Chihiro, but still, having it as the worst from the album is CRAZY imo
@@piran1807My least favorite is "BITTERSUITE." I don't think it's bad at all, it's just the only song on the album that doesn't get stuck in my head.
CHIHIRO was honestly my least favorite song on HIT ME HARD AND SOFT too. Though I'd still say it's some level of good.
LUNCH I notice seems like a song that should best be listened to every now and then. It might get old quickly if you constantly listen to in a short span of time, but the times you listen to it have gaps with each other, it'll probably stay very good. But hey, that's just me.
‘Good Luck, Babe!’ reaching a new peak despite a decent-sized album bomb is a very promising sign. Hopefully it can enter the Top 40 next week and eventually secure a Year-End spot! 😊
I love that song so much ... probably one of my most listened songs of the past few weeks. I'm not even a queer person myself, but something about her incredibly pointed frustration at a partner constantly caught up in shame and self-loathing really speaks to me. Not to mention that it sounds fucking amazing and really highlights Chappell's versatility as a vocal performer.
@@beatoriche7301 If it does end up on the Year-End chart, it's definitely going to be in my best list and contending for #1!
OOOHHH I hope this makes the Year-End for 2024! Chapell deserves it SO MUCH!!!
@@piran1807 I totally get that. Man, do I have a lot of songs contending for my personal favorite hit song of the year - Euphoria, Good Luck, Babe, A Bar Song, ... I could go on and on. Following the charts has been a real joy these past few weeks in my opinion, and there are so few terrible songs that I seriously doubt it'll be worth it to make a personal worst list. Like, there are only so many times that I can say that the radio is hilariously out of touch and plays the most whitebread 4/10 stuff imaginable, or that it's disgusting that people briefly uplifted Kanye West at this late date. I can literally count the number of hit songs I found genuinely enraging this year on one hand, so would it even be interesting to read something like that?
Radio is trying to get on board. YES PLEASE
It’s kind of ironic that ‘Cruel Summer’ went recurrent the week before the Songs Of The Summer tracking for 2024 begins. I was so thrilled when this got released as a late single thanks to the tour, but the fact it spent over a year in the chart and it’s not even from this decade is incredible!
BOTW: Billie Eilish - LUNCH
HM: Billie Eilish - THE GREATEST
WOTW: Koe Wetzel - Sweet Dreams
DM: Billie Eilish - THE DINER
I really hope the duet version of ‘Think I’m In Love With You’ gets an official release. The chemistry that Chris and Dua had during their live performance was absolutely phenomenal. Not a collab I expected but one I’m delighted to see happen. Both of them are such fantastic artists! ❤
Dua’s voice fits the track surprisingly well
@@sebastian2543 I found out from the early predictions that the song is challenging for a Top 40 placement next week.
@@piran1807 damn, that’s great to hear, let’s hope it becomes a sleeper top 10 hit
I heard it on the radio the other day
Was not expecting that Pokemon reference at the very end lol
Billie is growing as a person and a songwriter and I appreciate her lyrics so much. I hope she’s doing okay and I wish her happiness ^^
the greatest feels like everything that happier than ever was and more
just wanted to say keep up the great work mark i watch you every week and love to hear your thoughts!
Ironic how Cruel summer went recurrent just around the start of summer 😂😂😂😂
I love Mark's sobering takes on these kinds of feuds between artists - I was honestly shocked to see the number of Swifties wishing all sorts of bad stuff on Billie out of this dumbass controversy. I suppose stan culture is as strong as ever.
My personal new debuts of the week (May 28, 2024)
Bring Me The Horizon-YOUtopia (#2)
Twenty One Pilots-Midwest Indigo (#8)
Twenty One Pilots-At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb (#14)
Bring Me The Horizon ft. AURORA-liMOusine (#25)
Billie’s Week
Billie deserves this BOMB - floored by how immaculate her new album is. Hope it has legs.
It’s a Billie album of course it will
Lots of big artists dropping this year. Billie Eilish, Post Malone, even Eminem is coming through with an actual proper album rollout this time.
Fun week
Do yall think any Twenty One Pilots songs will chart next week? I would love for "Midwest Indigo" to become a hit, but I know that's a pipe dream. At best, "Overcompensate" will return or one of the previous singles will chart.
Well I checked my main iTunes page and "The Craving" is on the Today's Hits section, so maybe
Best: BIRDS OF A FEATHER
HM: CHIHIRO
DM: L'AMOUR DE MA VIE
Worst: Sweet Dreams
I loved this Billie album!
"BIRDS" has such an infectiously warm, comforting energy to it. It feels like a modernized twist on 80s jangle pop. I can't get enough.
"CHIHIRO" is so beautiful. Finneas's amazing production shines here. I'm especially obsessed with the driving synth passages near the end.
The second half of "L'AMOUR" is the only part of the album I staunchly dislike. Sonically, it sticks out like a sore thumb, with a synth lead almost identical to that of The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," and ugly vocal processing that comes off like a bad Charli XCX impression. The first half of the song is fine though!
I'd never heard of Koe Wetzel until "Sweet Dreams" popped up on the Spotify charts, and I'm thoroughly unimpressed. The song is painfully tepid and the vocal performance is frustratingly passionless.
Charts are honestly looking great! Loving the new Billie album, and expresso, million dollar baby, and Not Like Us are so good
If The Simpson came out today would Disco Stu become “Emo Stu” or “Dubstep Stu”?
He would be more "House Stu" if you ask me.
Really solid week for new arrivals. All these songs are really good except for Heat Stick which is just kind of ok
Wait, does Drake have beef with Aftermath? Did I miss something?
I don’t see fortnight having that much longevity compared to her other songs
i’m pretty sure the strings on the end of skinny mirror the outro of the greatest and i really like that
At this point, I feel like its safe to say that 2024 has been a pretty decent year for music. The charts haven't been this lively since 2021, and this year has been a HUGE improvement over last year. Excited to see where the rest of the year will take us.
YESS AGREED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT!! 2022 was such a bland and dull year and even if I didn't hate 2023 as much as a lot of others in this community do, it wasn't much better. 2024 is exactly what we needed after those 2 years, and I am so happy the charts FINALLY have some damn life sucked back into them!

When the year first started I thought it was going to be the worst (or at least most boring) year of the decade but it picked up a ton of speed after February and overall been an amazing year for hits especially in country and Hip Hop. At the rate it’s going this could go down as an all timer.
Great list! And yeah, I agree with your statement on 2024! It started out kinda rough, but ever since March or April, it has done a COMPLETE 180 in terms of quality and I am SO Happy about it, especially with Rap, Pop, and Country all having some of their best years in recent memory imo! 😊
The Painter❤
Best album bomb of the year by a mile
Lol
Metro Boomins We Don’t Trust You was better
@@Jackrabbit7 I disagree, but it also as a good one, I'd put them close to each other

Man that Spirited Away throwback was so welcomed, if you know, you know.
How ironic that Cruel Summer fell off the charts literally in the FIRST WEEK OF JUNE.
If it didn't fall off this week it'd have stuck around until the election.
Respect to others' opinions. Music is 100 percent subjective. But Chihiro is my favorite of the album and it's not particularly close. I'm not a music critic, so I can't necessarily pin down exactly why, but it's the song I've now had on repeat for good portions of the last week, haha.
> Check the description
> See the Billie debuts
> CHIHIRO (Dishonorable Mention)
> 😢
25:38 of all the places for Mark to stick a more subtle Pokémon reference, I'm pleasantly surprised it's here ;-)
BOTW: Ain't No Love in Oklahoma - This song is freaking badass, and it makes me wonder how many songs from the Twisters album will chart. The song by Bailey Zimmerman was just released, but we'll have to wait and see if it charts. Oh, and Benson Boone is on the album for some reason.
HM: Lunch - This is just catchy as hell. I'm not gay, but I'm glad to know this has an audience that will love it. Also, congrats to Billie Eilish for her highest charting debut to date.
DM: Bittersuite - The synths in that song are way too grating for me to like. I tried to like it, but I couldn't, and I'm sorry.
WOTW: Heat Stick - It's a shame whenever the first Hot 100 charting song from an artist or artists isn't good. These guys sound like they're struggling to stay on beat. Also, fun fact, Ohgeesy was on the remix of 310babii's "Soak City (Do It)".
Next week, Zach Bryan's lead single for his next album. And maybe some other stuff thrown in as well.
Benson Boone and Luke Combs. Did not expect that collab.
Look I love Cruel Summer, it's one of the best straightforward pop songs of her career, but it was getting overexposed, Im happy it went to recurrent
What do you guys think will be the top 5 songs of the summer this year?
I Had Some Help, Not Like Us, Million Dollar Baby, A Bar Song, and LUNCH
1. I Had Some Help
2. Not Like Us (These 2 can switch at any point with time)
3. Million Dollar Baby
4. Espresso (My personal song of the Summer thus far LOL)
5. Lunch (Fingers Crossed)
I can already hear Mark's exasperated sigh when it's the end of July and he's announcing I Had Some Help is still topping the charts
This week was reasonably good and even the tracks that I don't like are just not for me. Given that next week, we might not get much impact from any of the big album releases, like Twenty-One Pilots or Sexyy Red, it might give more opportunities for many songs in the Bubbling Under to cross over especially since the chart just recovered from Gunna's falloff.
1. Revival by Zach Bryan (+5) (It might be interesting if this finally crosses over with residual connections to 'Pink Skies'.)
2. Your Place by Ashley Cooke (+3)
3. The Door by Teddy Swims (+8)
4. Red Wine Supernova by Chappell Roan (+5)
5. Sundress by A$AP Rocky (+3)
6. Let Your Boys Be Country by Jason Aldean (+16)
7. Luna by Feid & ATL Jacob (+9)
8. Talk My Shit by BossMan DLow (+12)
9. Santa by Rvssian, Rauw Alejandro & Ayra Starr (+9)
10. Fall Back by Lithe (New) (This may chart next week given it has been getting recent streaming attention.)
11. Young Love & Saturday Nights by Chris Young (+14)
12. After Hours by Kehlani (Re-Entry)
13. Madonna by Natanael Cano & Oscar Maydon (-1)
14. Never Stop by ian (New)
15. Beautiful As You by Thomas Rhett (-14)
16. Damn Near Normal by Koe Wetzel (Re-Entry) (Not surprised this re-appeared due to his newest song crossing over.)
17. Smoke & A Light by Ole 60 (Re-Entry)
18. Hang Tight Honey by Lainey Wilson (New) (The lead-off single pushed to radio for her new album dropping in August that is starting its momentum off really strong.)
19. Love You Again by Chase Matthew (Re-Entry)
20. Hot To Go! by Chappell Roan (Re-Entry)
21. Back On My BS by BigXthaPlug (-7)
22. Boogieman by EBK Jaaybo (-3)
23. Devil You Know by Tyler Braden (New) (This only has viral traction with no country radio at the moment.)
24. Chevrolet by Dustin Lynch ft. Jelly Roll (New) (Remember when Mark covered 'Stars Like Confetti' last year that there was worse from Dustin Lynch to come, and this was the track he might've referred to.)
25. Eyes Closed by Imagine Dragons (-1)
RIP Cruel Summer. What an absolutely amazing run you had! You will be missed!
Ain't No Love In Oklahoma is basically a Blake Shelton song. It sounds like a cross between God's Country and Ol' Red. Add in that Blake is from Oklahoma and I'm a bit surprised it wasn't given to him.
"Ain't No Love in Oklahoma" sounds like it was written for Chris Stapleton rather than Luke Combs but at least Luke is trying something thats out of his comfort zone.
Next week: Zach Bryan disrupts the top ten.
Top 15 Best Hit Songs of 2024 Thus Far (IMO) (Might even expand this to a Top 20 later on given how great this year has been so far)
1. Not Like Us: Kendrick Lamar
2. Houdini: Dua Lipa
3. White Horse: Chris Stapleton
4. Where The Wild Things Are: Luke Combs
5. Saturn: SZA
6. Espresso: Sabrina Carpenter
7. Water: Tyla
8. Greedy: Tate Mcrae
9. Yeah Glo!: Glorilla
10. Made For Me: Muni Long
11. A Bar Song (Tipsy): Shaboozey
12. Feather: Sabrina Carpenter
13. Too Sweet: Hozier
14. On My Mama: Victoria Monet
15. Agora Hills: Doja Cat
Honorable Mentions:
Like That: Future & Metro Boomin ft. Kendrick Lamar
We Cant Be Friends (Wait for Your Love): Ariana Grande
Never Lose Me: Flo Milli
Stick Season: Noah Kahan
Is It Over Now?: Taylor Swift
Texas Hold Em: Beyonce
Good Good: Usher ft. Summer Walker & 21 Savage
Songs Imma put on the list IF they become big enough:
Euphoria: Kendrick Lamar
Good Luck Babe! Chappel Roan
LUNCH: Billie Eilish
All of these songs are from good to great. "Stick Season" is probably the weakest song on here, but it's still pretty solid
Wonderful list! I cosign like 90 % of these picks. In particular, Like That, Euphoria, Good Luck, Babe, A Bar Song, and Where The Wild Things Are are all solid contenders for my favorite hit song of the year. My list (sticking to a top ten for now) might look something like this:
10. “White Horse” by Chris Stapleton
9. “Yeah Glo!” by GloRilla
8. “Burn It Down” by Parker McCollum
7. “Wildflowers And Wild Horses” by Lainey Wilson (which may well miss the year-end ... how sad.)
6. “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone (if this continues to grow on me as much as it has thus far, it might snatch an even higher spot at the end of the year.)
5. “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin ft. Kendrick Lamar
4. “Where The Wild Things Are” by Luke Combs
3. “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan
2. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey
1. “Euphoria” by Kendrick Lamar
Some songs that I'm considering if they had/have enough longevity - and they would/will be contenders for the top spot in that event:
“Pink Skies” by Zach Bryan
“Slow It Down” by Benson Boone
“Austin” by Dasha
“So High School” by Taylor Swift (I legitimately love this song ... sorry.)
A lot of Future and Metro Boomin's collab albums, but “Cinderella” with Travis Scott, which came closest to having some degree of longevity, and “Always Be My Fault” with The Weeknd, which didn't even touch the Hot 100 but is my personal favorite out of both projects, in particular.
Honorable mentions (and this is a really strong HM section) go out to “Houdini” by Dua Lipa, “redrum” by 21 Savage, “Type Shit” by Future & Metro Boomin ft. Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar, “Agora Hills” by Doja Cat, “Lil Boo Thang” by Paul Russell, “Get It Sexyy” by Sexyy Red, “MONACO” by Bad Bunny, “World On Fire” by Nate Smith, and “Too Sweet” by Hozier.
zach bryan released a single lsat week, streaming is strong, so hopefully it can chart?
Not just chart, it's expected to debut in the Top 10!
@@piran1807 thats great, its noy my fave from him cuz the harmonicas are a lil goofy, but still really strong!
@@piran1807probably hit the number 1 position as how weak it is.
Does anyone else feel like the summer of 2024 has been the most summer the charts have felt in a while? Like, between LUNCH, Espresso, Too Sweet, Million Dollar Baby (its growin on me), Not Like Us, A Bar Song (Tipsy), and even I Had Some Help, our Song of the Summer list is STACKED TO THE MAX YALL!! This summer finna go off! I just know it!
Oh yes. This summer feels the most like summer since 2021
Never thought Mark would like that Koe Wetzel song, but hey polish would do that for you.
My ranking of the Top 10
*Bad 1/5*
10. Million Dollar Baby
*Decent 3/5*
9. Lose Control
8. Beautiful Things
7. Fortnight
6. I Had Some Help
*Good 4/5*
5. A Bar Song (Tipsy)
4. Espresso
3. Lunch
2. Not Like Us
1. Too Sweet
Total score: 33/50
What's wrong with Million Dollar Baby?
@@jeremyusreevu237
My best explanation is that it's a sound that I'm not used to, so in that way it's kinda off-putting to me
I wish I could like it more, but it just sounds unpleasant
@@jeremyusreevu237I was about to ask the same thing
@@thel8624So basically you’re just biased
CHIHIRO is good.
We're gonna get that big new song from Zach Bryan next week. Also, the reason Chris Stapleton & Nate Smith songs got this boost was because of two remixes. The format with Dua Lipa, like you mentioned last week, and the latter with Avril Lavigne of all people
So Zach Bryan's newest single, Pink Skies, is expected to debut in the Top 10 of next week's charts. What do we think of it? Are we claiming or not claiming? 🤔
It's not on the same level as 'I Remember Everything' for me, but it's still a fantastic song and one I'm delighted to see set to debut in the Top 10! 😊
I like it a lot.
I love it. Only cause it hit on really personal level for me (not something I want to go into here) but I am floored by it
The funny thing is that when I first watched the Twisters trailer with that Luke Combs song, my thoughts were "wow, they're really running out of ideas for songs to make trailered versions for" before the part where they advertise the soundtrack.
There could be an RM album bomb. He took over the ITunes chart with the songs from the album. Also I can see a Sexyy Red album bomb. She is currently huge in the US. Also maybe Twenty One Pilots can chart a song or two off of their new album.
Outside of this Billie Eilish will hold steady for a 2nd week with Birds Of a Feather becoming a hit. Also Zach Bryan starts his new era, Central Cee has a huge breakthrough thanks to Lil Baby, One Of Wun rebounds majorly, Revival finally breaks through due to Zach Bryan's traction, Fall Back by Lithe debuts, Ashley Cooke debuts thanks to Country Radio, Teddy Swims debuts The Door, Red Wine Supernova debuts due to Chapel Ronan's traction, Let Your Boys Be Country debut thanks to Country Radio.
Jason Aldean going for another worst of the week slot than
How can birds of a feather be a hit if it can’t reach top 10?
I'll say this, even if this year is a bit all over the place in quality, the summer looks like it's primed for actual hits compared to last year.
Likely attribute our country gains to the recent ACMs
Also Bulletproof had a remix with Avril Lavigne, cause yeah
Also, I'm so excited to see Pink Skies on the chart next week ... such a harrowing tribute. Zach Bryan is probably the most consistently excellent artist in Nashville, and Pink Skies might honestly be one of my favorite songs to date from him.
Botw: Lunch
Hm: Blue
Hm2: Lamour de ma vie
Hm3: Skinny
Wotw: Heat stick
Ladies, Gentlemen and Enbys: BILLIEBOARD BREAKDOWN!!!!!
My Opinion on this weeks new arrivals:
WOTW: Heat Stick- I don't not who this rap group is and I'm with Mark I don't why this is charting
HM1: Sweet Dreams- Congrats To Koe Wetzel in Charting, nice to see a Texas Country artists in charting.
BOTW1: All Billie Eilish Songs- I like this album, it grew on me, just like her debut, it's soild, It's Cohesive, it's perfect, among the best album bombs of the year.
BOTW2: Ain't No Love In Oklahoma- This is epic, i like this.
Next Week, The Fallout from all of this, hopefully it won't be as crazy as the downfall of Nick Rekieta this past, I have to name drop that, that drama is insane right now.
I can imagine LUNCH being played a lot during Pride Month and it would be great for it ^^
Agreed! It's going to go off this summer for me!
Absolutely!
Billieboard Breakdown!
wow im surprised she didnt get any higher than number 5, shes the number 4 most streamed spotify user rn, also lunch is def my fave song from the album
BOTW: Bittersuite. A cool vibe, with immersive production, beautiful vocals, and great lyrics. Plus, it has the Kahoot riff.
HM (Tie): Sweet Dreams. A really sweet song, with nice production, fantastic vocals, and cool lyrics. Not bad.
HM (Tie): Ain't No Love In Oklahoma. Luke Combs putting in way more effort than he needs to for a song from one of the most unnecessary sequels of all time.
HM (Tie): The other Billie Eilish songs. Pretty cool songs from a really cool artist. Glad to see Billie continuing to evolve!
DM: N/A
WOTW: Heat Stick. Generic mediocrity. Whatever.
I'm curious in Twisters, but I'm a disappointed that it's only a loose sequel and not one that brings back the characters of the original one. Bill and Dusty couldn't be there for unfortunate reasons, but it would make more sense to have the current storm chasers as their kids, and have Jo pop up often (kind of keeping with how the original one treated the group of storm chasers as family)
Twister is one of my all-time favorite movies, so I feel like this is just a me thing.
I Pretty Chose To Skip the Thoughts This Week Due To Boring Eilish
1) "I Had Some Help" retaining its #1 spot wasn't surprising. Despite his many controversies, Morgan Wallen still has a ton of traction. Post Malone made the right choice by collaborating with him, even if the song itself isn't great! 😅
2) "Cruel Summer" is about to end its run on the Billboard Hot 100 after *54* weeks! It lasted one week longer than 2022's "Anti-Hero", which lasted 53 weeks. 🤓
3) I wonder how long Billie Eilish's latest songs will last on the Billboard Hot 100. The unofficial start to summer was just three days ago. Even if "Lunch" hadn't opened in the Top 5, it would've still been the song that had the best chance to compete in the annual Song of the Summer "competition". It helps that Pride Month is about to start in *two* days from now! 🤔🏳️🌈
5:31 Honestly given the...less call it messy situation surrounding the song, Im kinda okay with that.
Music-Related Movie Trailer Thoughts: Moana 2
Moana is a very good movie, but like Joker, it was clearly meant to be one movie. I remember around the time Frozen 2 came out, I told a friend of mine I heard a rumor they were making a Moana 2, and their response was "that movie literally ended." Guess I'll talk that fact now. It's been confirmed that this movie is just a reworked version of a Moana show they were working on. If this movie ends up not being well-liked, prepare for that fact to be something that everybody knows like how SpongeBob was supposed to end after the first movie. My expectations were already not high, but that fact just lowered them even more. I should add that I don't love Ralph Breaks the Internet, and I don't love Frozen 2. So I wouldn't be surprised if I don't love this. As someone who considers Zootopia one of their favorite films, not a furry, I'm pretty worried the sequel coming out next year will go down that path.
Now onto the trailer. For something that was originally supposed to be a show, the animation is amazing. It's the usual theatrical Disney quality. Then again, Zootopia+ also had movie quality animation, so maybe this was always supposed to look like this. Outside of that, they didn't show enough of this movie to get a good judge over whether or not it looks like it'll be good. It's a teaser trailer that's actually a teaser trailer. Are they still making that live-action remake? That makes that news make even less sense. Why remake a movie two years after a sequel to it came out?
Anyways, see you next week when I make that meme comment I've been teasing all year. Til then, my biggest movie thought will be "why have I been getting so many videos of people's DVD collection in my recommended lately?"
I still think it's hilarious that Schaffrillas Productions has used Tamatoa more than Disney themselves.
So glad a bar song tipsy is getting traction
New album is this Friday, let's support (also to +1 up another Nigerian, go listen to Ayra Starr too)

"Lose Control" being #1 would kind of remind me of when "Heat Waves" was the top song of 2022. A sleeper hit that goes to #1 the year after it charts
Hopefully this summer we get the SOTS that actually feels summer-like
Last Night really had no summer elements to it
Agreed. The summer of 2024 looks like its gonna go AWFF with the songs we've got on the charts rn!
@@TheBlackPanther05this year and 1977 kinda reflects each other when it comes to summer charts
Kind of a bummer that Billie couldn’t reach the #1 on the Billboard 200. Such a phenomenal album
Well, she still had the biggest first week sales of her career so I'd say it was a win either way. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 isn't the end-all, be-all.
I like to thank the UA-cam Gods for that moment when I listened to that album, they didn't play an ad between SKINNY and LUNCH, and one was clearly meant to transition to the other.
Taylor's just too strong right now and I wanted Billie to do it even as a Swiftie.
There's a reason nobody else big is dropping in the first 2 months after Taylor.
Taylor wouldn’t allow it, I don’t think she likes Billie
Hit Me Hard And Soft was a good album but I would give Lunch WOTW. Hearing Billie Eilish making a generic 80's throwback song in order to get a radio hit is very depressing, especially since such a large part of her appeal is her creativity and ability to take what's popular and make it interesting. People really need to stop giving every single throwback hit massive amounts of praise. This is what happened with trap all over again
I think its a very chill song. I like it
"Birds Of A Feather" is more of an 80s throwback than "Lunch".
Apparently A Cool Bassline = 80s Throwback to you.
....
🤦
@@TheBlackPanther05 Rateyourmusic tags this as alternative dance as a secondary genre, I'm not the only one who thinks this sounds like an attempt at a throwback.
@@llamagaming8498 Billie Eilish is amazing at making chill songs with tons of emotion and that sound interesting but I just don't see this as one of them.

Song Recommendations:
These Words by Badger and Natasha Bedingfield: An incredibly infectious remix of a really cool song, with a ton of energy, infectiousness, and flair.
Chun King by Sonnyjim and Statik Selektah: An awesome track, with Statik’s great production, fantastic rapping from Sonnyjim, and cool lyrics. Nice vibe!
Hero In Your Story by Vinny Marchi: Another beautiful track, with great production, Vinny’s gorgeous voice, and awesome lyrics. So cool!
Once In A Lifetime by Kevin Abstract: A beautiful cover of a beautiful song, combining the original awesomeness of Once In A Lifetime, with Kevin’s creativity and flair.
It boy by bbno$: A great bop, with infectious production, bbno$ being awesome, and great lyrics. Great song from a great artist.
Like A G6 Freestyle by Meghan Thee Stallion: A great freestyle with Megan killing it on the beat to Like A G6. Friggin great!
I dislike the original "These Words," and this remix isn't much better for me. "Like A G6" was a guilty pleasure of mine, and I could see Megan improving it
Was I the only one who had a Carrie Underwood song in my head when I heard the Luke Combs song?
Yeah, Blown Away is better than Ain't No Love In Oklahoma, not even close.
@@justezek8596"Blown Away" is her best song to date
@@jchmusic7587 Followed by "Two Black Cadillac" and "Church Bells"
@@justezek8596ain't no love in Oklahoma is great Luke is more county than Carrie
@@oklahomasoonersfootball ...I mean there's room to like both in country music (speaking as someone who does and can argue Luke Combs has better standouts as of recently), it's more of a preference thing.
That being said, I'm surprised y'all would denigrate a fellow Oklahoma girl, but okay?
Megan is 3/3 for solo singles I like and yet she hasn't started her proper album rollout. Copying Cardi's notes is not a good thing for consistent traction, all Im saying.
I don't think that's what she's doing. Unlike Cardi, Meg is onto releasing her third album and 7th project(including mixtapes). Her distro deal with Warner is brand new not going into effect until BOA's release. That means that this will be the first song that has consistent radio play and other marketing(hopefully).
@@MissAlmostFine Mhm. Let's hope. I'll still listen to the album anyways
dishonourable mention for chihiro is your worst take yet
So uhhhh.... what do we think of the Two Worst Rap Songs of the Year, Sexxy Red's You My Everything with Drake and Cash Cobain's Grippy with quite possibly J. Cole's most embarrassing verse/feature to date?
Gotta say, it took both of them embarrassing themselves with Kendrick to just return to making mid music.
Some Big 3
I heard bad things about the Cash Cobain song and J. Cole's embarrassing verse, but I haven't listened to it. I now appreciate Sexyy Red's rapping more after witnessing the nightmare of her singing on "U My Everything"
@@justezek8596Exactly. I think Drake had a pretty decent showing with his BBL Drizzy verse but the song it's on is absolutely dreadful. Cole on the other hand really mailed it in with that childish ass verse.
@@justezek8596 You must be certified
Grippy is hilariously awful. I don't hold a lot of hate for it because it's just too embarrassing for J Cole and I think that embarrassment is enough
If only we had the aftermath of Drake cause he appears on Sexyy Red's newest project and it's legit terrible. Watch it chart too - ugh
🎵🎵 I SAY HOOOOOOOOOOOOO (Voice Crack) BABBBYYYYYYYY 🎵🎵
There's no way anyone in the studio thinks her singing on that intro sounds good. I actually kinda feel sorry for Sexyy Red as she's being led to believe it
@@jchmusic7587 She has very obvious limitations, but I've been saying this for a while. Her friendship/collaboration with Drake is not helping.
I mean I'm not a fan, but if she wants any longevity she needs to stop dropping it for Drake and actually go elsewhere.
@justezek8596 Yeah. Working with Drake right now isn't smart. I mean it'll get her to chart with the big name, but still
Ok, so we have yet another song with "Wildflower" on the chart right now, along with news of Money Trees getting a resurgence even if it has yet to happen on the charts, and Saturn, a space song if you will, is in it too. Just let the actual Beach House chart you cowards.
Billie, I love ya, and that song is one of the best songs on your album, but you can't top the original.
If Money Trees actually charts, that would be so amazing.
@@jeremyusreevu237 That song is indeed damn good. And like I once said before, I already wrote a big review for it that I'm gonna wait to post until it actually charts even if I spoiled the big part of it. Maybe I'll post it anyways considering that the chances of that song charting is like the "I'm ready" scene from Patty Hype. For now, I already have two big comments planned during the next two weeks.
Sometimes, I wonder why Mark bothers reviewing big apbums if it will be fully on Billboard BREAKDOWN a week later.
I guess it's because the album reviews are to focus more on the overall concept, while Billboard BREAKDOWN gets into more detail about the individual tracks, so the commentary is a bit different. Also, I imagine there are some people who follow either channel but not both.
Top Ten Worst Hit Songs of 2024 (IMO)
1. Carnival: Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign ft. Rich The Kid and Playboi Carti (Obvious picks are obvious)
2. Truck Bed: Hardy
3. FTCU: Nicki Minaj
4. Cowgirls: Morgan Wallen ft. ERNEST
5. Wild Ones: Jessie Murph ft. Jelly Roll
6. Beautiful Things: Benson Boone
7. Save Me: Jelly Roll ft. Laney Wilson (Gurl how did I like this one to being with?)
8. IDGAF: Drake ft. Yeat
9. Everybody: Nicki Minaj and Lil Uzi Vert
10. Get in Wit Me: Bossman Dlow
"Save Me" is more boring than bad to me
I really like Save Me
I also don't hate Truck Bed and Beautiful Things
Interesting list. I can only really make a top 5, personally ... not a whole lot of stuff I hate thus far.
5. “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” by Tommy Richman (not even a song I hate all that much - in fact, I'd go so far as to say I respect it as an experiment. An experiment that ended up a catastrophic failure, but an experiment nonetheless.)
4. “yes, and?” by Ariana Grande
3. “Everybody” by Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Uzi Vert
2. “greedy” by Tate McRae (which is really this high out of disappointment - I probably could've lumped this in with the Lose Controls and We Can't Be Friends's of the world as mediocre-to-bad radio filler if it weren't made by the same artist who made some of my favorite hit songs of the decade.)
1. “Carnival” by Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign (which I have yet to listen to and don't need to to make this judgment; nothing outside of a political song that's somehow even more reprehensible is gonna top platforming a literal fascist doubling down on his abhorrent ideology. It's even soured my opinion of collaborators like Playboy Carti, Travis Scott, and especially Lil Durk.)
No Sexyy Red?
Sexyy Red has taken a new L with her new song with Drake "U My Everything." I can see why some might dig the attitude of "Get It Sexyy" or "SkeeYee" beings hilariously bad, but this was just torture. I never wanna hear Sexyy Red sing again
LMFAO GURL THAT HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST LAUGHABLY BAD SONGS I HAVE HEARD ALL YEAR!! LIKE, WTAF WAS SEXXY THINKING SHE WAS DOING ON THAT DAMN SONG?!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Her rapping isn’t any better
I'm going to listen to it, and if it charts next week, I'm giving it an all caps WOTW
Edit: Yep, Sexyy Red still makes me want to put my head through a brick wall. Now, I'm going to listen to Beautiful Things because at least Benson Boone can sing better than that piece of crap
I’m never going to be upset about someone enjoying music, but I cannot BELIEVE that you like that shaboozey song. I thought you would rip that song into shreds a couple weeks ago. It sounds like the Applebees song again
Comparing "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" to "Fancy Like" is honestly kinda stupid.
I think it's a bop.
Im confused how you think that they sound any similar. Fancy Like is very boring and I jsut hate his voice. Bar Song (Tipsy) is not similar at all and is very fun. also his voice really works for the song. I dont think you have ears and is looking for a bad coutnry song to compare it too even though they arent similar at all.
What? They’re not even vaguely similar.
L comparison
My Rankings:
BOTW: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF BILLIE'S TRACKS (Seriously AOTY material. IDC)
HM: Ain't No Love for Oklahoma/Sweet Dreams
WOTW: Heat Stick (Just don't really care for this. Im gonna forget this exists in record time)
My personal favorite song on HIT ME HARD AND SOFT was SKINNY.
"CHIHIRO (Dishonorable Mention)"
you are always on the wrong side of history when it comes to music without fail 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
"not really to my taste" yeah you just want everything to sound oRgAnIc
Boring Eilish
I’m Skipping Thoughts Here
Because as i Said Previously
I’m Not Reviewing Billie Eilish Or That Album
I Haven’t Heard The Album And i Have Zero Intent of Doing so
Ur missing out then, especially on those views
@@jimbob2427Her first album is better
@@Jackrabbit7 was it because it’s her MoSt SuCcESfUl
@@jimbob2427 No, I didn’t even know that it was, the songs on it are just better
@@Jackrabbit7 no, vocally Billie sounds better than ever on this album. Production wise finneas expanded his sound and this is her most experimental to date
