#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Logic/Alessia Cara/Khalid - 1-800-273-8255 (1st and only week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Loud Luxury/brando - Body (+5) is starting to move up here. I'm actually okay with that, because it's just decent.
I did not expect Selena Gomez - Back To You (-4) to have the biggest fall of the week this week. At least it's still in the Top 20, so that's good.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Alessia Cara - Trust My Lonely: This is such an amazing song. This song was just a step up from Growing Pains. Alessia's vocals in this one are amazing. The production is so amazing, and I really love that chorus. Let's see if this song should do amazing on here.

Dean Lewis - Be Alright: The best debut of the week. I've actually never heard of him before this song. But this song is fantastic. Dean's vocals in this one are heaven, the lyrics are fantastic, and that chorus was just fantastic. This needs to do fantastic here.

Khalid - Better: This song is cool. Though it's not as good as Love Lies, but it's still awesome. Khalid's vocals in this one are awesome, the production is awesome, the chorus is awesome, everything on this song was awesome. Let's see how this one does on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Maroon 5/Cardi B. - Girls Like You: I'm still okay with this song still in here. But it should be out of here within the next week or so.

4. Khalid/Normani - Love Lies: Oh god. No. Please let this song stay in the Top 5. Let's see how long it takes to stay in there.
3. Marshmello/Bastille - Happier: Looks like this song is about to be at the top. Can this song be his first #1 song here? It's going to be pretty awesome if it does.
2. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: Oh come on. Can we please let this song spend another week at #1? I really hope it does soon.
1. Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm glad that it's still there. This seems to be Ariana's biggest hit on here. Let's see if it can stay there even more.
