Hallett's Hits 5/18/25 + huge announcements!

Surprise! I'm earlier than usual, and I'm here with a bunch of announcements!

• Hallett's Hits will now be releasing every Sunday, instead of Monday.
• Hallett's Top 20 has now been changed to Hallett's Top 30.
• I will finally update all of my Hallett's Hits stats and info pages tomorrow when I have time.
• My next pageview special will be for 13,000 views and it will be Taylor Swift-themed for obvious reasons.
• Separate from (and probably before) the 13,000 views special, I will be doing an "EP mayhem" this summer, where every day for a period of time (likely the month of July) I will review an EP or a deluxe edition of an album I've already reviewed. More details on that later.

Also, this isn't an announcement per se, and I think this goes without saying, but I cannot express how thrilled I am to see one of my favorite artists FINALLY getting on Hits 1 after all these years. I won't even be that upset if they don't let Tough Luck enter the countdown since I'm just glad Hits 1 knows Laufey exists. Finally, thanks again for 10,000 views (now 11,000 actually lol) and for all the support. 

Now for this week's Hallett's Hits. Although there was only one exit, the lengthening of the countdown meant nine debuts and two re-entries. There were some songs I've been holding onto for a while finally making their debuts this week, a random abyss song making a high return after many months off the proper countdown, and the second-ever #1 debut on my chart. Let's get into it!
