#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so glad to see Jawsh 685/Jason Derulo - Savage Love (+7) taking the biggest jump this week into the Top 20. What a week for them!

I'm so pleased about Surfaces - Sunday Best (-4) having the biggest drop this week. This deserves it! Now, this better kepp dropping and it needs to be out of here very soon. I'm so tired of hearing this song.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Topic/A7S - Breaking Me: This is just a mediocre song. There really nothing interesting about this song. Now, I've gone through this song back a couple months ago when it debuted Hit Bound. The production actually sounded solid, but I'm not really a huge fan of the vocals here. And the chorus in this one was meh. But I'm actually still giving credit to those lyrics because they're actually fine. But this is still a mediocre song overall. Let's see how far this one goes.

Kelsea Ballerini/Halsey - The Other Girl: I've been hearing this song a lot on The Highway. It's such an amazing country-pop song. Although this is not even close to a country song, because there's actually a lot of pop elements in this song. Now, on to my opinion. The production was so amazing, Kelsea's vocals were remarkable, Halsey's vocals were heavenly in her contribution, and I really enjoyed that chorus. Let's see how this one does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Saint Jhn/Imanbek - Roses: I'm fine with this song dropping. But I'm sure this might keep dropping and leave the Top 5 sometime soon.

4. Trevor Daniel - Falling: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice run there and I'm glad to see that this was his first hit.

3. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights: Yeah, I do have a feeling that this song might be out of the Top 3 next week. But I'm sure hoping that it should stay in there for at least one more week.

2. Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar: It's almost at the top spot. I'm 100% sure this is going to be at the top spot next week. But let's see if it happens.

1. Dua Lipa - Break My Heart: I'm pleased to see this song at the top spot. Wow, she has been having a lot of #1 songs on this countdown. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

Now, here are the songs they played for Breakouts/On The Verge:

Ava Max - Kings & Queens
