#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Chloe - Have Mercy (+7) has really been gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts recently. What a week for her! Now, let's see if this should go to the Top 30 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Olivia Rodrigo - Traitor (-7) taking the biggest drop and being out of the Top 20. This seriously deserves better than that. But I do have a feeling that this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Oliver Tree - Life Goes On: The best debut this week. And I've actually been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And not only that, but I've also known him since 2019 back when he had this song Hurt when he was a Critical Cut, and I've been enjoying that song back then. As for this new song, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is definitely a step up from Hurt. As for my opinion, the production was super amazing, Oliver's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

Taylor Swift - Message In A Bottle: This is absolutely another amazing song and this is actually a step up from Run. Although Run wasn't actually a single which it should've, but this new song is still an amazing song. For my opinion, the production was so amazing, Taylor's vocals were super amazing, those lyrics were so nicely-written, and that chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Silk Sonic - Smokin Out The Window: This is also another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Skate, but this is still amazing. With my opinion, the production was super outstanding, Bruno's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus was super amazing, and Anderson .Paak's vocals were also so amazing in his verse. But yeah, amazing song overall for me to listen to. Let's see how far this one should get.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doja Cat/The Weeknd - You Right: I'm so pleased about this song coming back in the Top 5 this week. Now, let's see if this should have another chance to get to the Top 3 very soon.

4. Doja Cat - Need To Know: I'm still waiting for this song to get in the Top 3, but I don't think it's actually going to happen. Maybe it might start dropping.

3. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: I actually didn't expect this song to drop. But again I'm sure this song is going to hang around in the Top 3 for a little while longer because of how well it did.

2. Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow - Industry Baby: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice time in there last week, but again it's always nice to see something new hit the top spot rather than the same old songs. And I'm sure this is going to be out of here sometime soon.

1. Adele - Easy On Me: I'm so pleased to see this song in there. Now she has made her big return to the top spot this week. That's definitely amazing to see. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
