This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super glad to see Jax - Cinderella Snapped and Meghan Trainor - Mother (+11) take the biggest jumps this week into the Top 30. What a big week for them! Now, let's see if they'll go to the Top 20 soon.

Meghan Trainor - Made You Look took the biggest drop this week as it has been losing lots of airplay recently. But what's also tied for the biggest drop this week was Tiesto/Tate McRae - 10:35 (-8), which I'm really not too thrilled to see. This does not deserve it! But I'm sure it's going to leave here soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Taylor Swift - All Of The Girls You Loved Before: This is the only great debut we have this week. So she has put out an unreleased track from her album Lover which I think is so interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's definitely a step up from Lavender Haze. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Taylor's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. I'm sure hoping that it should become a hit on there.

Toosii - Favorite Song: This is just a decent song. There really isn't anything interesting to say about it. Although I'm not really huge on the production here, and it doesn't really have that much of a chorus. But Toosii's vocals were actually solid here and I don't really mind the lyrics here, because I think they're still very nicely-written. But this is still decent overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so please to see this song in there. This is also his first ever Top 5 appearance on there, which was amazing. Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 3 soon.

4. The Weeknd - Die For You: This song sure has been hanging around in this spot for quite a while. But I'm pretty sure this might be it's last week in there before being on it's way out of here.

3. Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': Yeah I'm sure this song is going to be leaving the Top 5 very soon. But again it still had a nice run in there.

2. Miley Cyrus - Flowers: It dropped out of the top spot. Though it still had a phenomenal run in there. And I'm sure this is going to stay in the Top 3 for a little while longer because of how well it did.

1. SZA - Kill Bill: Wow, I totally did not expect this song to be at the top spot. But I'm so pleased to see it in there. This is now her first ever #1 song on there which was actually so amazing. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
