Hey guys! I am sorry that these two posts are late. I have had a busy past couple of weeks with working, college applications, and a camping trip. So, I really haven't had all that much time to get this done. For this post, I will be reviewing two countdowns. For the week of August 24, I will give the countdown and my opinions on the songs and two debuts. For the week of August 31, I will give the entire review, minus blurbs. So, without further adieu, here we go.

New Entrants
~ First up this week we have Thomas Rhett with Look What God Gave Her. I am pretty glad that Hits 1 picked up on this song, as it is one of the better country songs out there right now (even if it's really more pop). Thomas Rhett sounds good here and I think that the song overall is nice, fun, and catchy. Overall, I don't think its that memorable of a song, but I am enjoying it for what it is at the moment.
~ For our second and final entrant of the week, we get All The Time from Zara Larsson. I enjoy this one as well, but its not really memorable either (like most of Zara Larsson's songs). All The Time harnesses decent vocals from Zara and the production here is good for what it is. It's a fun song and I even found myself dancing to it the other night. This is another example of a song that I am just enjoying for what it is right now. I'm glad it is here.
Entrant Rankings:
- Thomas Rhett - Look What God Gave Her
- Zara Larsson - All The Time
August 31, 2019:
The countdown was hosted by Lil Nas X, and there were no exits. It was a pretty boring week, and nothing really moved anywhere.
