US HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 4.03.25 #23
TOP TEN:
Kendrick Lamar is down five spots to 10 with 'Sqaubble Up,' which opens the gap for 'Lose Control' to jump three spots up to 9. Chappell Roan's 'Pink Pony Club' is becoming the next big song at 8. Billie Eilish is still in the top ten with 'Birds Of A Feather' at 7, which sits below 'APT.' at 6. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' has a surge from 9 to 5. Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance is still having effects on the chart with 'TV Off' at 4 and 'Not Like Us' at 3. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars continue their climb up the chart with 'Die With A Smile' up to 2, and taking the number one for its second consecutive week is 'Luther' by Kendrick Lamar and SZA.
NEW ENTRIES:
99. Greenlight—Tate McRae (9/10)
90. Like I Do—Tate McRae (7/10)
89. Little Things—Ella Mai (6.4/10)
I heard this a while back as part of Ella Mai's E.P. '3.' It's now four months later, and this has charted, and I'm not complaining. It reminds me of 'Heart Of A Woman' or something that reminds me of older style Beyoncé, with its 2000s R&B sound. I really like it; it's not special to me or marking anything new, but we haven't heard this in a while, and I'm very much open to hearing this sound more.
83. LV Bag—Don Toliver/J-Hope/Pharrell Williams/Speedy (3/10)
The majority of people only seem to come to this song because a solo BTS member features on it (J-Hope), and when I saw this collaboration, I immediately knew that this was a one-way ride to failure; yes, it's rap crap. The only person's essence I detect in this is Don Toliver, who manages to spill his autotuned crap over the whole song and ruin it. I legit don't get how people can take him seriously; you can't even hear what he's saying in the song.
75. ExtraL - JENNIE/Doechii (4/10)
Doechii is a great rapper but always fails miserably when it comes to a feature, and working with JENNIE is a recipe for disaster, especially with the past few singles showing disaster too. I don't necessarily know what's bad about this; it just doesn't do anything for me. It's not something I can easily connect to, and Doechii doesn't pack a flavour punch like she does on her solo songs.
74. Signs—Tate McRae (8/10)
69. Clouds—J. Cole (6/10)
The first time I've rated something this high by J. Cole, which is good for him after he was making flop music for so long, this definitely feels more down-to-earth and something that Kendrick might make, although Lamar would add a crazy beat.
64. Bloodonmyhands—Tate McRae/Flo Milli (8/10)
58. Call me when you break up—Selena Gomez/Benny Blanco/Gracie Abrams (2.1/10).
From the last single, this was so predictable; Selana and Gracie deliver a run-of-the-mill vocal performance with a really cheesy music video. And to top the disappointment, I found out in a month we will get a Selena and Benny album. I waited all this time for a Gomez project that could possibly be her last one, and then she delivers two singles that are poop and a massive dump on the music industry. The background is way too uninspired and is as basic as basic can be. You would've gotten more of a smile out of me if you had inserted a fart sound into the song.
54. Miss Possessive—Tate McRae (8.5/10)
53. Purple Lace Bra—Tate McRae (7.5/10)
44. Dear God—Tate McRae (8.2/10)
43. I Know Love—Tate McRae/The Kid Laroi (5.5/10)
22. Revolving Door—Tate McRae (6/10)
Lots of love to Tate, but this is one of the weakest songs on her album. There were so many better choices she could've chosen as a main single, but she chose Revolving Door?! I don't get a world where this would make sense; this song sounds like a filler that would've fit on THINK LATER. I mean, it fits on this album too, but not that well. It has no catch to it at all, and the so-called chorus or hook has the exact same momentum as the start of the song. There's no build-up; it's just right in front of you, which is pretty boring if you ask me. Weak single.
