This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It and Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow (+6) has been gaining airplay on the pop radio charts. What a week for them!

Dan + Shay - Tequila (-15) is unfortunately on it's way out of here. Though it did had a nice run on the pop radio charts, which was still good.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Khalid - Talk: What an awesome song. This is just a step up from Better. The production in this one was awesome, Khalid's vocals sounded outstanding, and I love the lyrics. Let's see how this one does on here.

Lauv/Troye Sivan - I'm So Tired: I've already explained why this song was amazing when it made the countdown. I know Lauv has been a talented singer. I really love every song from him. As far as the song goes, this was definitely amazing. The production was amazing, Lauv's vocals are so amazing, Troye's vocals are also amazing in the second verse, and that chorus was amazing. Everything on this song was amazing. I really hope this one becomes a hit.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside: I actually don't want this song to drop. I'd rather want it to stay in there, because this was such a heaven song.

4. Khalid - Better: I'm glad it's almost in the Top 3. Let's see if it'll be on here within the next week or so.

3. Halsey - Without Me: Great. It's finally dropping. Now, I want this song to be out of the Top 3 next week. This was just a bad song.

2. Ellie Goulding/Diplo/Swae Lee - Close To Me: It's almost at the top. Now, I really want this song to be at the top next week. Let's see if it does.

1. Ariana Grande - 7 Rings: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. This song has been going amazing at that spot. But I do want a different song to be at the top. But I'm still glad that it's still there.
