[Mellope]

HOT 100 29.06.25 #42

THE TOP TEN:

10. Die With A Smile - Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars (No change/49 weeks in chart)
9. Luther—Kendrick Lamar/SZA (Up 2/35 weeks in chart)
8. A Bar Song (Tipsy)—Shaboozey (Down 2/67 weeks in chart)
7. Lose Control - Teddy Swims (Up 2/101 weeks in chart)
6. Love Me Not—Ravyn Lenae (Up 1/NEW PEAK/17 weeks in chart)
5. Just In Case - Morgan Wallen (No change/18 weeks in chart)
4. What I Want—Morgan Wallen/Tate McRae (Down 1/10 weeks in chart)
3. Daisies—Justin Bieber (Down 1/2 weeks in chart)
2. Golden - Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 2/NEW PEAK/5 weeks in chart)
1. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/8 weeks No. 1/24 weeks in chart)

NEW ENTRIES:

94. Frecuencia - Dareyes de La Sierra (3.5/10)

Another clone of the Spanish-Mexican field of pop with the same overused instruments and sound. Give this a rest; it feels like I'm reviewing the same song over and over.

92. Strategy - TWICE (4/10)

Honestly, seeing that so many songs have charted from the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, I think I may as well review this, and honestly, my score keeps wanting to change, but then I just dislike it again. It's just their usual aesthetic brand of K-pop that's anything but unique.

84. 1965 - Jessie Murph (1/10)

A pathetic quadruple attempt and trying this new side of her music where her screeches and intros now merge into becoming autotuned, sounding as if Charli XCX were a cat getting run over. Oh, and the meaning and video are DISGUSTING.

82. Tell Me What It Is - Tyler, The Creator (8.1/10)

62. Madeline - Zach Bryan/Gabriella Rose (6/10)

Does Zach Bryan just make the exact same song every time? I'll be shocked to hear if he ever puts out anything new. And yeah, he has good songs, but they are all in some way, shape, or form the same acoustic country songs. This follows that way and lacks some more material.

59. Don't You Worry Baby—Tyler, The Creator/Madison McFerrin (7.2/10)

56. Don't Tap The Glass/Tweakin' - Tyler, The Creator (7.9/10)

55. I'll Take Care Of You—Tyler, The Creator (6.5/10)

54. Mommanem—Tyler, The Creator (3.9/10)

51. Stop Playing With Me—Tyler, The Creator (6.8/10)

48. Sucka Free - Tyler, The Creator (8.4/10)

46. Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne (8.4/10)

Everything about this song feels so natural yet full of life; every part of the song's journey, the guitar, drums & vocals are just so involved in the song, and the fact that simplicity can be this fine is a showcase of what Ozzy really did. R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne.

44. Ring Ring Ring—Tyler, The Creator (8.5/10)

41. Sugar On My Tongue - Tyler, The Creator (8.4/10)

33. Big Poe—Tyler, The Creator/Sk8brd (9.4/10)

I'm sorry... WHAT? The energy on this is INSANE!! Tyler not only needs to start doing more club-rap music, but Pharell needs to produce more like THIS. The electronic funkiness ruled the track with the perfect amount of pitch on the beat, and Tyler's vocals were as clean as the ones on Kendrick's "Squabble Up." The amount of effort to blend all this into a highly calculated and high-effort jam is unreal. Hats off to Tyler; this is possibly the best song to hit the UK charts this year so far.

16. Eternity - Alex Warren (6.7/10)

Alex previewed a snippet of this, and now that I've heard the full thing, it already feels like I've heard it; that's how predictable the song was. I'm not saying it's a terrible song, but it's nothing apart from Alex's usual loud hook and vocals that sound exaggerated for the song's feel. This is still probably the best first impression I've gotten from the album's newer singles, though.

HOT 100 5.08.25 #43

TOP TEN:

10. Die With A Smile – Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars (No change/50 weeks in chart)
9. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Up 3/NEW PEAK/6 weeks in chart)
8. A Bar Song (Tipsy) – Shaboozey (No change/68 weeks in chart)

2. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (No change/6 weeks in chart)
1. Ordinary - Alex Warren (No change/9 weeks at No. 1/25 weeks in chart)

NEW ENTRIES:

84. Park – Tyler Hubbard (2/10)

Tyler Hubbard has one song that I've replayed (that being "Dancin In The Country"), and honestly, after hearing a lot more of his music (including this), I can't deny that he's just another carbon copy of any American country artist who fits the tag of traditionally dull. I will say though, making a song about how the police caught you kissing your girlfriend in a church parking lot is definitely a different choice of topic... that's one way to put it at least. This song is actually so BORING that I don't even want to talk about it, so let's get this over with ASAP. The southern twang and the drums feel so made in a factory; every part and soundbite just feels like it was generically manufactured, and that's why I often have less to say about this kind of music. Stop making the same song chart over and over.

43. It Depends – Chris Brown/Bryson Tiller (5.5/10)

Previous review:

Chris Brown returns to the boring, kind of leisurely pace of R&B that satisfies nobody and leaves us thinking, "Was Holy Blindfold all he had in the tank??"

Added:

Honestly, like I said before, but I will add in some small additions, there are some nice summer claps and small details that are nice effects on the song, but in the end this still sounds like something off of "$$$4u".

38. Back In The Saddle – Luke Combs (8.1/10)

Previous listen:

Ok… But why is this BADASS?? The heavy rock and vocals lean into a style that feels like something the old real rockers did! Luke did exactly that and insanely well. WOW!! If you like rock, then give this a listen.

Added:

Whilst still keeping that western genre, Luke leans more into the "Backup Plan" core with a strong acoustic melody.

23. Which One – Drake/Central Cee (7.5/10)

If you heard and liked "Blue Green Red", then you'll like this; it's just like that but with a Central Cee feature, which he sounds surprisingly decent on. I like when Drake puts on that accent; it gives his music a unique edge that turns regular beats into something special. This is also quite an upgrade from "What Did I Miss".

RE-ENTRIES:

100. Tu Sancho - Fuerza Regida
[Please stop entering.]

92. Revolving Door - Tate McRae
[This recently grew on me a LOT more.]

91. Malboro Rojo - Fuerza Regida
[I can't be bothered with any more Fuerza.]

21. Miami – Morgan Wallen (with new credits from Lil Wayne & Rick Ross)

HOT 100 12.08.25 #44

TOP TEN:

10. A Bar Song (Tipsy) - Shaboozey (Down 2/69 weeks on chart)
9. Lose Control - Teddy Swims (Down 2/103 weeks in chart)
8. Your Idol – Saja Boys (Up 1/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)

2. Ordinary - Alex Warren (Down 1/26 weeks in chart)
1. Golden – Huntr/X/Ejae/Audrey Nuna/Rei Ami (Up 1/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)

NEW ENTRIES:

100. Now And At The Hour Of Our Death – $uicideboy$/BONES (4.1/10)

99. Somebody – Latto (7.8/10) [+0.3/10]

Previous listen:

Fun rap-radio music that follows Latto's earworm hits.

Added:

It's been a while since I've heard this, but I can sure tell you it's still something that summer radio should pick up on. It has that feel-good swing, and lyricism is, as usual, something that's made for vitality; the hook being repeated over and over in one part is definitely the rewarding part of the song. Very fun.

98. Country Song Came On - Luke Bryan (8/10)

The guitar plucks have a little more of that twang with the drums to make something that's very obviously inspired by country music traditions, but instead with a well-thought-out attempt at this, I wasn't expecting to like this, but it's so chill that I can't help but like it!

97. A Lot More Free – Max Mcnown (7.4/10)

The whistles and harmonica come in to ease you into the perspectives of heartbreak in a passionate way that feels like it was worked upon well.

95. 12 To 12 - Sombr (7.9/10)

I was not expecting to hear Sombr on a beat that sounds more like something Lizzo would be on. "12 to 12" has a funky, danceable sound that stays true to Sombr's vocal tone whilst balancing out new fields of music; he definitely didn't play it safe with this one, but he did that in an amazing way. Check it out!

91. Oh, What A Wretched Man I Am! - $uicideboy$ (5.7/10)

90. Count Your Blessings - $uicideboy$ (3.2/10)

88. So Far So Fake - Pierce The Veil (8.2/10)

Loving the rock tracks that have been hitting the charts recently, and we yet again have another delight with loud guitars that create a sound like emo music, apart from the fact that they build on the sound better, adding something more artistic with the vocals that sound as if they were live, yet they're so raw and can carry any deep emotion. This sounds a little like Linkin Park, and I'm all for that!

77. Lemonade - Forrest Frank/The Figs (3/10)

I'm beyond gobsmacked that this guy has lasted so long in the industry with music that sounds like a reject for the McDonald's playpark radio. And I get to him, it's all chill, and it's just repetitive Christian pop-rap that he thinks is spreading his religion well, but honestly, I think God could be honoured with something that doesn't sound like the Jonas Brothers but even more gone wrong. So lacking in any real material, an easy skip.

74. Don't Mind If I Do – Riley Green/Ella Langley (6.4/10)

Not too keen on Riley most of the time, and I tend to lean towards saying that Ella's boring, especially vocally. This doesn't change much; it's got the meaning with the emotional value rooted in the topic of sadness from someone leaving, but the two don't exactly push enough to put this image out there. It needs more heart to it; in other words, it needs to be better brought up.

62. Is It A Crime - Mariah The Scientist/Kali Uchis (8.2/10)

Kali has this smoothness to her voice that can glide along any song to provide a lighter feel, and that's exactly what she did with Mariah, adding onto the dreamy pop sound as a clever accompaniment.

54. Napoleon – $uicideboy$ (7.5/10)

Finally, a good new entry into this week's chart from them. The bounce was executed with a shine that reminds me a little of Tyler The Creator's "Don't Tap The Glass", with the lyricism of course being careless party rap, exactly what the song is going for. I think it's quite fun, definitely something that has its own trend factor.

3. The Subway – Chappell Roan (5.8/10)

One million times better than "The Giver", but I still can't say this is a showcase of what Chappell can be capable of; instead, it's a calm pop-rock song with occasional high notes from Chappell and doesn't reflect what she usually goes for. I just don't think the simplicity and the dreamy chords helped as much as she thought they would; it's just fine and definitely extremely overhyped by AOTY.

TOP TEN:

10. Soda Pop – Saja Boys (Up 4/NEW PEAK/7 weeks in chart)

8. Just In Case - Morgan Wallen (Down 1/21 weeks in chart)

NEW ENTRIES:

99. Many Nights – Gunna (6.9/10)

94. Wgft – Gunna/Burna Boy (6.4/10)

87. GP - Gunna (7.2/10)

86. Lost - Bailey Zimmerman/The Kid Laroi (5.7/10)

An unexpected collaboration despite it playing out exactly the way I thought it would. Bailey brings the energy of a high-country rock song, and The Kid Laroi adds his touch and tone, ticking the boxes in a really boring way. Neither act delivered something apart from the usual message of feeling lost, and, as already said, just basically everything you'd expect from these two.

81. Bowery – Zach Bryan/Kings Of Leon (7/10)

Turns out Zach's style just needed a little rock push with an old tint that was flavoured through use of guitar; it's definitely something that Zach should try and make more of.

80. Let That Sink In - Gunna (6/10)

72. At My Purest – Gunna/Offset (6.9/10)

70. Sakpase - Gunna (8/10)

68. Forever Be Mine – Gunna/Wizkid (5.3/10)

49. Hell At Night – BigXthaPlug/Ella Langley (6.3/10)

BigXthaPlug's fanbase seems angry about his switch to country music, and honestly, I'm not mad, but it definitely doesn't work. Ella gives a half-decent performance that sounds like it needs more flavour, and BigX gives a usual rap part from him that feels like it could be on a different song. Please return to rap.

46. Just Say Dat - Gunna (7.3/10) [1.7+ score]

I admit that Gunna's drum trap loop can often feel repetitive and get tiring, but to me it wasn't bad to start with and still isn't now. I actually enjoy how chill he is on the beat and how easily his flow lands on the beat. Good song.

NEW ENTRIES:

98. What Kinda Man - Parker McCollum (7.6/10)

A very fresh mix with the country guitar chord sequence stopping with new strings and harmonicas coming in when you wouldn't always expect them. It's not the most different country song, but I'll tell you that I definitely see the attempt and feel the character. Good song.

91. Let Down - Radiohead (8.3/10)

Released in 1997 from their extremely well-received album "OK, Computer", seeing this in the chart is quite interesting, and for the better. It's a bit different from most things of its time, with alternative rock that doesn't go on full blast and instead has a dreamy sound that builds more quality.

86. Heart Of Stone – Jelly Roll (7.6/10)

Wow, for once we're getting multiple country & rock songs in the chart that don't have passion completely sucked out of them. And the song totally needed that passion, especially since it's about someone turning away from their past due to its bad nature caused by them, and as Jelly Roll has covered similar topics a few times, I think touching on it as a whole, especially with some real strong backing, was a good choice. Rare Jelly Roll win; let's hope we get more like this!

77. Last One To Know - Gavin Adcock (7.2/10)

The actual good mix of country this week continues with Gavin giving a fine kick too to a twangy sound with occasional flickers of production that add a texture that I haven't seen in the Hot 100's typical country progressions. Finally, entries that actually are making a difference in the scene.

70. Imaginary Playerz – Cardi B (7.5/10)

Cardi is weirdly having quite a good improvement recently; this and "Outside" actually aren't average. This song has an atmosphere that feels like despite Cardi taking it slower, she still delivers a fiery & classy punch. I do think the talking scenes should be taken out from the song, but aside from that, it's really nice.
