This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased that Jung Kook/Usher - Standing Next To You (+6) is starting to gain airplay this week. What a week for both of them! Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 30 next week.

Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For (-8) sure has been losing airplay recently. But I'm okay with it taking the biggest drop. But I'm sure it's already on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Lil Nas X - J Christ: He has finally made his return on there this week. But I gotta say, this is also a decent song. I'm still not really huge on his music. Although his music was actually not that bad, but it's still not good. There really isn't anything interesting to say about this song. Though the production still sounds amazing, but again Lil Nas X's vocals still don't sound good here. But the chorus was decent and the lyrics were still so interesting, so I'll definitely still give credit to them. But this is a decent song overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

Nicki Minaj/Lil Uzi Vert - Everybody: Although I wish they would've picked up Pink Friday Girls instead of this, but this is actually a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Pink Friday Girls, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Nicki's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, the chorus was so heavenly, and Lil Uzi Vert's rapping in his verse actually sounds so phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Ariana Grande - Yes, And?: The best debut this week. She has made her return on there debuting in the Top 20 which was insane. We haven't heard from her since 2021 with POV, and that was a song that I enjoyed back then. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from POV. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Ariana's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super heavenly. And I'm sure this is going to become a hit on there. Let's see how far this one goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now: I'm still waiting for this song to get to the Top 3. But hopefully it'll move up and get there starting next week.

4. Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer: Well this song is finally out of the Top 3. But it still had one heck of a long run on there. But I'm sure it's going to stay in the Top 5 for a couple more weeks and then be out of here.

3. Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me: I'm pleased to see this song in the Top 3. It deserves to be in there. But I'm not sure if it'll go to the top spot, but let's see if it does soon.

2. Doja Cat - Paint The Town Red: Gosh, this song sure has been enjoying it's stay at that spot after doing super well at the top spot. And again it might remain in there for a few more weeks longer at the very least.

1. Tate McRae - Greedy: Holding the top spot for the 5th week in a row, Wow, how on Earth has this song been doing super amazing lately? It really has been becoming a huge hit recently. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
