Hit-Bound with Mikey Piff - 2021 March 19

This is the 12th posting of Hit-Bound in 2021 and week 52 of the "Hits 1 at Home Edition" of Hit-Bound. It has been one full year since the pandemic forced them to mostly record the show from home. As normal, there are 20 songs this week; but with a new Hits 1 To Watch, it looks like there will only be 15 'Hit-Bound' songs going forward. Lil Huddy's song is on the Weekend Countdown, so it doesn't count as being a 'Hit-Bound' song. Just like Jessia's song, it is played at the start of every episode of Hit-Bound for the 5-6 weeks it is a Hits 1 To Watch. The 20 songs now consist of: 1 song from the Hits 1 To Watch artist, 15 Hit-Bound songs, and 4 Wutchuwanted songs. There are 3 new songs on Hit-Bound this week; only 1 of the 3 songs leaving is moving over to the Weekend Countdown. The new songs are "CHICKEN TENDIES" from Clinton Kane, "First Time" from Illenium/Iann Dior, and "Follow You" from Imagine Dragons.
