Hey guys. Sorry about the long delay. This week was a very busy week. But I am going to try and catch up on my posts. But let's get to the late post.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

NF - Let You Down (1 of 2 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Cardi B./Bruno Mars - Please Me (+13) has been gaining lots of airplay. But I'm actually okay with that, because it's just a mediocre song.

Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart (-12) is about to be off the pop radio charts. Though it did had a nice time here, so that's good.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Zedd/Katy Perry - 365: I've already explained why this song was amazing when it debuted the countdown a few weeks ago. Katy's vocals sounded outstanding here and the production is marvelous. This is so much better than The Middle and Happy Now. This better become a hit.

Lil Peep/iLoveMakonnen/Fall Out Boy - I've Been Waiting: This was just a mediocre alt-pop song. I heard it a lot on Alt Nation, but it is still mediocre. I don't think Lil Peep sounded good here and iLoveMakonnen's verse is bland and generic. But Patrick Stump sounded amazing on here. I'd be okay if this one does great on here.

Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar: I even heard this song on Alt Nation. This is definitely their best song ever. It's definitely better than their other songs. Now, this song was heaven. It's a mix between Demons and Walking The Wire, two of which I enjoyed. The production is heaven, Dan's vocals are heaven, the lyrics are heaven, the chorus was heaven, everything on this song was heaven. This is going to be in my Top 10 songs of this year. I really hope this one becomes a hit.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next: Great. It's about to be out of here. Lets see if it gets out of here next week.

4. Post Malone/Swae Lee - Sunflower: Oh no! I don't want this song to be in the Top 3! This seriously needs to stay out of the Top 3. I really had it with his music.

3. Ariana Grande - 7 Rings: I'm glad to see this song in the Top 3 this week. Now, let's see if it'll be at the top soon.

2. Halsey - Without Me: Can we please let this song go? This has been on here for a pretty long time. This seriously needs to be out of here.

1. Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I was so pleased that it's still there. I really want this song to stay on here for a couple of more weeks.
