AT40: The Weeknd (4) Week Of July 18, 2020

It has been an amazing week this week on there. Although I know a lot of you say that we're actually back in the Golden Ages of the countdown because of our current #1 song that used to be one of my favorites. But I actually have a different song in purple, so we're actually not in there. But other than that, everything else looks good. That's all I have to say about this one, so let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 40, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Khalid - Talk (2 of 3 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I was expecting Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar (+7) to have the biggest jump this week because of what happened on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown, and now there it is. Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 10 next week.

I'm not too thrilled about Maren Morris - The Bones (-8) to have the biggest drop this week. But I think it's definitely going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Cyn - Drinks: This is definitely another mediocre song. There isn't really anything interesting to say about this one. Now, on to the song. The production is a little bit underwhelming, but her vocals actually sound solid and I'm still giving credit to the lyrics. Though the chorus was meh. So yeah, it's definitely meh overall. Let's see how far this one goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Dua Lipa - Break My Heart: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and be in the Top 3. Hopefully next week it'll happen.

4. Justin Bieber/Quavo - Intentions: It dropped out of the top spot this week. Thank goodness I need a better song to hit #1 on there. But I'm still okay with this song out of that spot.

3. Doja Cat - Say So: I'm actually still okay with this song still in the Top 3. But I didn't actually expect this song to stay in there.

2. Trevor Daniel - Falling: Thank goodness it finally made it to the Top 3 after spending numerous weeks at #4. And it's also almost at the top spot. Can it be his first #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out.

1. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights: I'm super pleased to see this song back at the top. But I think it's going to be out of that spot next week. But let's see how long it could hold the spot.
