This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm fine with Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) (+9) taking the biggest jump to the Top 30. I'm definitely still giving credit to that.

I'm super pleased to see Ritt Momney - Put Your Records On (-8) taking the biggest drop this week as it drops out of the Top 10. This really deserves it! Now, this needs to be out of the Top 20 very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Kali Uchis - Telepatia: This is just a decent song. There's nothing here that's interesting to say about this song. And I've noticed that this song has been on the Hot 100 for a while, which was very interesting. As for my opinion though, the production was decent, Kali's vocals were decent, the lyrics were decent, the chorus was decent, everything here is decent. So yeah, it's decent overall. Let's see how far this one gets on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Machine Gun Kelly/Blackbear - My Ex's Best Friend: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see it in there. But I'm not sure if it's actually going to be in the Top 3, but we're gonna have to see.

4. Olivia Rodrigo - Driver's License: I actually thought that this was actually going to drop. But thank goodness it did not. But yeah, I'm sure this should hang around in the Top 5 for a little bit longer.

3. Justin Bieber/Daniel Caesar/Giveon - Peaches: It also debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm super glad to see it in the Top 3 though. Now, I'm sure this is going to be at the top spot sometime soon. Hopefully it'll happen within the next week or so.

2. Tate McRae - You Broke Me First: It dropped out of the top spot. But it did had a nice time in there last week. But I'm sure this should start dropping very soon.

1. The Weeknd - Save Your Tears: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. That was definitely an amazing thing for me. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
