US HOT 100 SUMMARY AND REVIEW 22.04.25 #28
THE TOP TEN:
Morgan Wallen sees 'I'm The Problem' slip to 10, which opens up the gap for Benson at 9. BigX has 'All The Way' slip to 8 on its second charting week, which makes way for Teddy Swims to spend his 87th charting week at 7 with 'Lose Control'. Shaboozey has spent over a year charting at 6 as Alex's big breakout song rises to 5. 'Pink Pony Club' achieves a new peak of 4 for Chappell as 'Nokia' falls from its number two peak. Regaining ground is 'Die With A Smile' at two, which is just below 'Luther', which has its 9th consecutive number one week and 21st charting week.
NEW ENTRIES:
98. Whisky Drink – Jason Aldean (8/10)
WOAH… I ACTUALLY LIKED SOMETHING BY MR ALDEAN. Sure, this is still traditional American country-radio pop, but the guitars making the upbeat pop sound were actually pretty hooking.
97. Not At This Party - Dasha (6.5/10)
It's an acceptable attempt at getting a mainstream country song, but the pace feels rushed rather than going faster as part of the song. It also feels way too simple and could easily fall into American country radio play for just a day. I think she had the promo when she released 'Austin', but she built on pushing other singles too late, and now she has to face the consequences of one-hit wonderland. I'll give a generous 6.5, though, because it's still pretty fun.
94. Hands Of Time – Eric Church (7/10)
Wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did – country music is really taking an improvement this week. I actually felt this gave a successful attempt at not creating closely replicated country despite using sounds that feel more at home within the country scene – that's a tough thing to do. The song is a reminder about how time will keep going no matter what; the meaning is along a slow guitar-rock sound along with added-in clock ticking sounds.
90. Henry, Come On – Lana Del Rey (8.3/10)
It's Lana's signature; she uses her soft vocals along with slow and expressive instrumentals that help bring across the meaning of the song. It's better than 'Tough' and brings hope for the rest of the album!
81. Blue Strips - Jessie Murph (6.1/10)
As said before, Jessie may have the worst voice in the entire music industry; she sounds like a cat clawing at the ground while being pulled away. But she's actually starting to slightly redeem herself; this is leaning into her more pop style instead of country, and I think the change suits her a lot better. If she keeps this up, then she'll no longer be one of my least favourite artists.
RE-ENTRIES:
