Hits 1 Weekend Countdown - 2021 February 27

Published

This is the ninth countdown of 2021: Last week, Golden from Harry Styles got back the #1 spot for a second time this year. Will it hold on to #1 for a third week overall or will Drivers License finally make the jump to #1 after sitting in the top 3 for the past 3 weeks? Scroll down to find out.

Just like last week, there are three songs entering and leaving the countdown. However, there was much more movement on the chart than last week: Of the 27 existing songs, only 3 stayed in their same spot and 4 moved up or down by one spot. That means that 74% of the existing songs moved up or down by more than 1 spot. Eleven songs dropped down in position on the chart with an average decrease of -2.8. Thirteen songs moved up on the countdown with an average increase of +3.3. Average movement on the chart overall was +0.4 spots, including the 3 songs with no movement.

Dropping out of the countdown are "Positions" from Ariana Grande, "Diamonds" from Sam Smith, and "Forget Me Too" from Machine Gun Kelly/Halsey. The three songs entering are "Way Less Sad" from AJR, "Overdrive" from Conan Gray, and "Skin" from Sabrina Carpenter. The first 2 being the actual new songs to the countdown, as Sabrina Carpenter's song "Skin" is re-entering after charting for only 1 week on the weekend of January 30th.

The fourth column in the table shows a song's change in rankings compared to last week. If there is no change, there will be a 0. New songs will have a dash (-).

Hits 1 Weekend Countdown - 2021 April 03

This is the 14th countdown of 2021 and the first one in April and the second quarter. Last week, Taylor Swift's "willow" ended Drivers License's streak at #1 and became the fifth different song to reach #1 this year. Will it continue to be #1? Scroll down to find out. An interesting note, this week I noticed at least 2 slip-ups on the countdown that referred to its former number of songs, 45. In the first part of the intro Spyder Harrison said, "Before we get to this week's fresh 45..." and there was an automated ident that said, "The 45 biggest hits in North America." It is likely these are just mistakes, but it would be nice to get back to 45 songs, even if it was 3 hours in length. It might be a tight fit with the current average of 15 songs/hour, but in 2.5 hours they might be able to cover 40 songs. This week, there are 2 songs entering and leaving. Tones and I's "Fly Away" (was #27) and Harry Style's "Golde...

This is the 13th countdown of 2021 and the final one in March and the first quarter. Last week, Drivers License was #1 for the fourth week in a row. It is now the outright the top song of 2021 with four week at #1. Will it extend its time at #1? Scroll down to find out. This week, there are 3 songs entering and 3 leaving. Joshua Bassett's "Lie Lie Lie" (was #9), Sigala/James Arthur's "Lasting Lover" (#19), and 24kGoldn's "3,2,1" (#26) are all leaving the countdown. Joshua Bassett sets a new record on the countdown for the highest ranking song to fall out of the countdown from one week to the next. The previous record was the number 13 position for Ariana Grande's "34+35" just two weeks ago on March 13. Of those 3, "Lasting Lover" was the oldest song, being on the countdown since its premiere on January 1st. The 3 new songs are "Too Late" by Cash Cash/Wiz Khalifa/Lucas Graham, "First Time" by Ille...
