This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Of course Taylor Swift/Post Malone - Fortnight (+20) has to take the biggest jump this week because it's her. But I'm fine with that. Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 10 very soon.

Justin Timberlake - Selfish (-20) took the biggest drop since we got a new single from him debuting on there this week. Though I'm not too thrilled to see it do that, but I'm sure it's going to be out of here within the next week or so.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Muni Long - Made For Me: The best debut this week. And this song I believe is her first ever appearance on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Muni's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of especially the line "Twin, where have you been" before the chorus. And the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should do well on there.

Justin Timberlake - No Angels: We've now picked up a new single from him since Selfish is officially on it's way out of here. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Selfish, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Justin's vocals were super marvelous, the lyrics were very nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ariana Grande - We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love): I'm so pleased to see this song debut in the Top 5 on there this week. Gosh, she sure has been having lots of Top 5 songs on there. Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 3 and go to the top spot soon.

4. Sabrina Carpenter - Feather: Gosh, this song sure has been doing so well here in the Top 5 recently. But again I'm sure it's going to be out of here very soon.

3. Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me: How on Earth has this song been doing in the Top 3 on there? Gosh, I feel like this song really doesn't want to leave here, but again I'm sure it'll be out of here very soon.

2. Teddy Swims - Lose Control: Yeah I'd like this song to stay in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer at the very least. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

1. Benson Boone - Beautiful Things: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in that spot. It sure has been becoming a hit recently. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
