US HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 25.02.25 #22
TOP TEN:
Drake is new at ten with 'Nokia,' and Shaboozey is down to nine with 'A Bar Song (Tipsy).' Billie Eilish slips to 8 with 'Birds Of A Feather' as ROSÉ and Bruno stay put at 7 with 'APT.' The highest song from PND and Drake's new album is 'GIMME A HUG,' new at 6, and up above is Drake's rival Kendrick Lamar with 'Sqaubble Up' at 5 and 'TV Off' at 4. Gaga and Bruno slightly rebound with 'Die With A Smile' back in the top three. 'Not Like Us' falls off the number one for Kendrick Lamar, and now taking the number one for the first time is 'Luther,' becoming Kendrick's 6th number one single and SZA's second.
NEW ENTRIES:
87. Bad Reviews—Sabrina Carpenter (2/10)
85. Por Esos Ojos - Fuerza Regida (5.1/10)
Previous listen:
Listening to Fuerza Regida has begun to feel like a chore; it's the same damn thing every time!!
Added:
On the second listen, it's still the bare minimum generic sounds you expect from the band.
84. Couldn't Make it any Harder—Sabrina Carpenter (6/10)
83. GLORIOUS—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (1/10)
74. OMW—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (1.5/10)
73. When He's Gone—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (2/10)
70. Greedy—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (5/10)
67. 15 Minutes—Sabrina Carpenter (4/10)
66. Celibacy—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (2/10)
63. Meet Your Padre - PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake/Chino Pacas (0.5/10)
60. Lasers - PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (0.5/10)
47. Brian Steel—Drake (3/10)
45. - Pimmie's Dilemma - Pimmie/PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (4/10)
43. Raining In Houston—Drake (3/10)
40. Small Town Fame—Drake (3.5/10)
37. Crying In Chanel—Drake (2/10)
35. Spider Man-Superman—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (3/10)
31. Deeper—PARTYNEXTDOOR (3.5/10)
30. Somebody Loves Me—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (1.8/10)
This was so lame that it pissed me off. PARTYNEXTDOOR has the worst verse with autotune that drowned his voice, and Drake's verse shows that he will only make a good song when his career is at stake. This served as one of Drake's most boring vocal performances ever that lacks anything to boost the song. The beat will make you tired in one listen. It takes you back to level one production that doesn't match what else is happening. They'll put it out anyway, though, because there are low-quality artists, contenders for the worst song of 2025. This is utter garbage.
29. Moth Balls - PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (3/10)
27. Busy Woman—Sabrina Carpenter (2/10)
I really don't want to review another Carpenter song, but here we go. It's like something you would expect on Short N Sweet, and if you know me, then you'll know I didn't like the main singles on that album, and now is not the time to change up. This is still the same bland pop corporate push-out that's only released to further boost her name, rubbish. Oh, and fun fact, I didn't review it on New Music Friday due to the original apparently being released in August 2024.
26. Something About You—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (1.1/10)
21. Die Trying—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake/Yebba (5/10)
18. CN Tower—PARTYNEXTDOOR/Drake (2/10)
THIS IS SO PEAK... Peak disappointment, this sounds like a filler; if this is one of the most popular songs on the album, then we have issues because what even was this?! It was just some jumbled slop with no flow and no control at all.
10. Nokia - Drake (6.4/10)
Nearly a promotable song, it feels like more could be done, but it still has that hook and groovy beat, and of course keeping the beat flavourful.
6. Gimme A Hug—Drake (6.9/10)
Good beat switch but a bad shy away Kendrick reference; this got better as it went in, though, and overall the hard hit in the middle was the most enjoyable part. Feels like a single you could promo.
