This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Twenty One Pilots - Level Of Concern and Justin Bieber/Quavo - Intentions (+9) are both in the Top 20. I'm so glad about the first one, but I'm actually fine with the other one. Now, let's see if they'll be in the Top 10 soon.

Blackbear - Hot Girl Bummer and Kelsea Ballerini/Halsey - The Other Girl (-10) were also tied for the biggest drop this week. I'm okay with the first one, but I'm not too thrilled about the other one.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Sam Smith/Demi Lovato - I'm Ready: The best countdown entrant this week. This is definitely a heavenly song and easily Sam's best song ever. Now, with my opinion, the production in this one was absolutely heavenly, Sam's vocals sounded heavenly, Demi's vocals also sounded heavenly in her contribution, and that chorus was super heavenly. This is going to be in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully this one becomes a hit.

Marshmello/Halsey - Be Kind: It's such a phenomenal EDM song for me to listen to. It's definitely a step up from Here With Me. The production in this one sounded so phenomenal, Halsey's vocals are so heavenly, the lyrics are definitely what I'm a fan of and are nicely-written, and that chorus sounded absolutely phenomenal. Hopefully this one does phenomenal on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Camila Cabello - My Oh My: I'm not sure why it's still standing at that spot. I really would like to see it in the Top 3. Hopefully next week it'll be there.

4. Niall Horan - No Judgement: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm glad to see that. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 3 or maybe even in the top spot soon.

3. Doja Cat - Say So: I'm still okay with this song still in there. But again I'm going to give credit to this song when it gets to the top spot, but I'm not sure if it's going to happen.

2. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go: It's getting close to being in the top spot. Now, let's see if this should be in there soon.

1. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Wow, I'm super duper pleased that it's actually still in there. I'd like it to stay in there and let it tie the record.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Ariana Grande/Justin Bieber - Stuck With U (DEBUT)

2. Ashe - Moral Of The Story (RE-ENTRY)

3. Drake - Toosie Slide

4. Saint Jhn/Imanbek - Roses

5. Tones And I - Bad Child

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Ariana Grande/Justin Bieber - Stuck With U: What a phenomenal song. Though not as good as Don't Call Me Angel, but it is still phenomenal. The production is super phenomenal, Ariana's vocals are definitely heavenly, Justin's vocals sounded so phenomenal in his contribution, and wow, that chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown very soon.

Ashe - Moral Of The Story: It re-entered Hit Bound this week. I'm really not surprised that it actually left the countdown this week. This does not deserve to be back on here. Hopefully it'll be back on the countdown soon.
