This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm fine with Billie Eilish - NDA (+7) taking the biggest jump into the Top 30. And I'm sure this is going to be in the Top 20 very soon. Let's see if it'll happen.

Masked Wolf - Astronaut In The Ocean (-10) had the biggest drop as it dropped out of the Top 30. I was actually expecting that to happen, because I know it's about to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Tomorrow X Together - Magic: I was actually surprised that they actually picked up this song. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing and fun song. As for my opinion, the production was super fun, this guy's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and that chorus was so phenomenal. Although I'm not sure if this is going to do so well on here, but let's see how far this one should get.

Pop Smoke/Dua Lipa - Demeanor: We have finally picked up a much better song from him on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and this is definitely way better than What You Know Bout Love. The production here was so amazing, Pop's vocals were super amazing and he sounds so much better than in his other songs, Dua's vocals were so phenomenal in her contribution, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so amazing. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Kane Brown/Blackbear - Memory: This is absolutely an outstanding song. Though definitely not as good as Be Like That, but it's still outstanding. For my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Kane's vocals were super outstanding, those lyrics were so nice, and that chorus was so amazing. Though Blackbear doesn't actually sound great in his verse, but he still sounds decent here. But this is such an outstanding country-pop song for me overall to listen to. Let's see how far this one should get.

Camila Cabello - Don't Go Yet: The best debut this week. She has finally made her return on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely phenomenal. As for my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Camila's vocals were so heavenly, those lyrics were super nicely-written, and that chorus was super phenomenal. I'm really hoping that this should become a hit on there, because I know she has been an extremely talented singer to me. Let's see how far this one goes.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: Can we please let this song jump and not let it stand there? I'm really hoping it should do it next week.

4. Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More: I actually thought that it was going to be out of the Top 3 this week. And I was right. But I'm sure this is going to stay in the Top 5 for a little bit longer.

3. Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name): Well, this song is finally starting to drop. And I'm pretty sure this is going to be out of the Top 3 next week.

2. Olivia Rodrigo - Deja Vu: It's almost at the top spot! And I'm sure this is going to be at the top spot within the next week or so. Hopefully I'm right.

1. Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still there, although I'm sure she might replace herself at the top spot within the next week or so. But let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
