This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Taylor Swift - All Of The Girls You Loved Before (+10) taking the biggest jump to the Top 30 this week. This totally deserves it! And I'm sure hoping that it should go to the Top 20 soon.

I'm not really that thrilled to see Chris Brown - Under The Influence (-5) take the biggest drop, but I do have a feeling that this song is now officially on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Macklemore/Collett - No Bad Days: So he has put out a new album called Ben last month, and this was one of the songs that was off of the album. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Maniac. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Macklemore's rapping in the verses was so phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and Collett's vocals in the chorus were super phenomenal. Let's see how this one does on there.

Jonas Brothers - Waffle House: The best debut this week. And of course this song would actually play a lot at every Waffle House restaurant hence the title. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's definitely a step up from Wings. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, both Nick and Joe sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Now this song is craving me to eat at a Waffle House restaurant although there were none in my state. But anytime I go on vacation, I should stop by one. Let's see how far this one gets on there.

P!nk - Trustfall: This was actually the title track of her album, which was so interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Never Gonna Not Dance Again, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing, P!nk's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Weeknd - Die For You: Finally after spending weeks at #4, it's finally getting out of here. And I'm sure it's going to be leaving the Top 5 within the next week or so.

4. Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down: I'm glad to see this song move up. And I'm sure hoping that it should go to the Top 3 next week.

3. Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': I'm sure this song is going to leave the Top 3 next week. But it still had a nice time in there.

2. Miley Cyrus - Flowers: Yeah I'm sure this song is going to stay in this spot for a while because of how well it did at the top spot. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

1. SZA - Kill Bill: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there. This really deserves it! Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
