This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm pleased to see Silk Sonic - Skate taking the biggest jump this week. Not only that, but Camila Cabello - Don't Go Yet (+7) was tied for it, and that I was so pleased to see.

I'm fine with Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow - Industry Baby taking the biggest drop. But I'm actually not that thrilled about Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U (-5) being tied for it. I actually thought it was going to still be in the Top 5 this week, but it didn't.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Shouse - Love Tonight: I really have no idea where this came from and I don't know why it's here, but my gosh this song is garbage. There's absolutely nothing here that's good to say about this one. For my opinion, the production is so awful, the vocals were absolutely horrible, and my gosh that chorus was absolutely total garbage. Although the lyrics were fine, so I'll still give credit to them. But this is a garbage song for me overall to listen to. And also, what I found out about this song is that the full version of it is only 8 minutes long, which was strange. I don't really want to listen to a horrible song for 8 minutes long, that would be a strange thing for me. But the edited version of it was 4 minutes long, but it's still too long for me. I'm really hoping this doesn't do well on there.

Shawn Mendes/Tainy - Summer Of Love: This is the only great debut we have this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's definitely a step up from Wonder. With my opinion, Tainy's production was so amazing, Shawn's vocals were super amazing, those lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and that chorus was so fun and so phenomenal. I'm really hoping that this should do amazing on there.

Blackbear - @ My Worst: This is just a decent song. It's not a rock song. And also, what the heck is this title and why did they replaced the @ sign instead of the word "at"? That was so weird. Anyway. For my opinion on this song, the production was decent, Blackbear's vocals were decent, and the chorus was decent. But I don't mind the lyrics here, because I think they're still very interesting. But this is a decent song overall to listen to. Let's see how far this one goes.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Anne-Marie/Niall Horan - Our Song: I'm sure this might hang around in the Top 5 for a few more weeks. But again I'm hoping this should get back in the Top 3 soon.

4. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: Can we seriously please let this song be in the Top 3? I'm sure hoping that next week it'll definitely be in there.

3. Dua Lipa - Love Again: I'm so pleased to see this song debuting the Top 5 and into the Top 3 this week. Now, I'm really hoping that this should be in the top spot very soon.

2. Marshmello/Jonas Brothers - Leave Before You Love Me: I'm pleased to see this song moving back up, but again I don't think it's ever going to hit the top spot. Maybe this might hold the spot for a little bit longer.

1. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. Gosh, this song has really been doing so amazing in there and I'm glad that it's still there again. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Black Eyed Peas/Saweetie/Lele Pons - Hit It

2. Halsey - I Am Not A Woman, I'm A God (DEBUT)

3. Jackson Wang/Internet Money - Drive Me Home

4. Justin Bieber - Ghost (DEBUT)

5. Elton John/Dua Lipa/Pnau - Cold Heart

6. Madison Beer - Reckless

7. Ed Sheeran - Visiting Hours

8. Vaultboy - Everything Sucks

9. Shouse - Love Tonight

10. Dream/Alec Benjamin - Change My Clothes

11. Clinton Kane - I Guess I'm In Love

12. WizKid/Tems/Justin Bieber - Essence (RE-ENTRY)

13. Halsey - Lilith (DEBUT)

14. Masked Wolf - Say So

15. Seb - Seaside Demo

16. Willow/Travis Barker - Transparent Soul

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Halsey - I Am Not A Woman, I'm A God: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And for some reason, Hits 1 has picked up not one, but two songs from the album. Let's start with this one. As for this song, it's definitely a phenomenal song. For my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Halsey's vocals were super phenomenal, those lyrics were absolutely phenomenal, and that chorus was so heavenly. I'm really hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

Justin Bieber - Ghost: This is absolutely an outstanding song. But definitely not as good as Peaches, but it's still outstanding. For my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Justin's vocals were super outstanding, those lyrics were so nice, and that chorus was so amazing. But yeah, this is such an outstanding song overall. And I'm sure this song is probably gonna debut the countdown when Stay hits #1. I'm really hoping that this should happen soon.

WizKid/Tems/Justin Bieber - Essence: So this song and Love Tonight has pulled off a Sunday Best by staying on or going back on there without being the One To Watch, which was crazy. But I'm fine with it being back on there. But since this song is already on the countdown, I'm sure this is going to leave here within the next week or so. Hopefully I'm right.

Halsey - Lilith: And here's the second song from the album debuting on there. As far as the song goes, it's also a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as the first one, but it's still phenomenal. For my opinion, the production was super amazing, Halsey's vocals were so phenomenal. The lyrics were so nicely-written, and that chorus was super phenomenal. But yeah, this is another phenomenal song for me to listen to overall. But if I had to pick one, that would be I Am Not A Woman, I'm A God. But I'm hoping this should also be on the countdown soon.
