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".
