This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super glad about Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin' (+9) taking the biggest jump into the Top 20 this week. What a big week for them! Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

It's super crazy that we have 8 songs that were tied for the biggest drop this week. And those 8 songs were Ava Max - Million Dollar Baby, Gayle/Blackbear - FMK, OneRepublic - I Ain't Worried, Morgan Wallen - Wasted On You, Lizzo - About Damn Time, Selena Gomez - My Mind And Me, AJR - World's Smallest Violin and Nicky Youre/Dazy - Sunroof (-3), which all took a short biggest drop. Crazy, isn't it?

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Avril Lavigne/YUNGBLUD - I'm A Mess: The best debut this week. This is absolutely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Love It When You Hate Me or Bebe Rexha's song from 2018 with the same title, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Avril's vocals were super phenomenal, YUNGBLUD's vocals were also super phenomenal in his contribution, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this one should get on there.

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary: What the... how on earth did they pick up this song? It was actually released in 2011, which was 12 years late to be on there. Has this song gone viral on TikTok or something? I don't really know. But this is actually an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Hold My Hand, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing, Gaga's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Nicki Minaj - Super Freaky Girl: I actually thought that it was going to be out of the Top 5 this week. But it'll definitely be out of here within the next week or so.

4. The Weeknd - Die For You: I'm still waiting for this song to be in the Top 3. But hopefully next week it'll do it.

3. David Guetta/Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue): How is this song still standing at this spot? Come on, this song seriously needs to move up and get to the top spot. But hopefully next week it'll do it.

2. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero: It dropped out of the top spot. I actually thought it was still going to hold there this week, but it didn't. But it still had a nice run in there for a couple weeks though.

1. Sam Smith/Kim Petras - Unholy: I actually did not expect this song to come back to the top spot, but I'm so pleased to see it back in there. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
