This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Jessie Murph/Jelly Roll - Wild Ones (+4) take a short biggest jump into the Top 30 this week. This totally deserves it! Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 20 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder On The Dancefloor (-6) take the biggest drop. This does not deserve it! But I'm sure this is the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

SMITH - Run: The best debut this week. After giving this song a listen, I've actually found her yet to be another talented singer. So how on Earth did they pick up this song? Has it gone viral or something? Anyway. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, her vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Djo - End Of Beginning: I've also been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And what I've noticed about him is that his real name was Joe Keery, who was an actor on Stranger Things which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Djo's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so 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. Tate McRae - Greedy: Yeah this song really doesn't want to leave the Top 5. But I know it's been in there for a while, so I'm sure it's going to be out of here very soon.

4. Doja Cat - Agora Hills: I'm pleased that it's still in the Top 5. Though I'd like it to stay in there for at least one more week at the very least.

3. Jack Harlow - Lovin On Me: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3, but again I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon. But it still had a nice time in there.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Feather: It dropped out of the top spot. But it still had a nice time in there. Though I'd like it to stay in the Top 3 for at least a couple more weeks and then be out of here.

1. Teddy Swims - Lose Control: There it is! His first ever #1 song on there. I'm so pleased to see this song in there. It deserves it! Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot.
