This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Ariana Grande - We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) and Beyonce - Texas Hold 'Em (+8) take the biggest jumps this week. They both deserve to take it!

I'm not too thrilled to see Kenya Grace - Strangers (-4) take a short biggest drop this week. This should've went to the Top 5! But I'm sure it's going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Luke Hemmings - Shakes: We now have the first 5 Seconds Of Summer member making his first solo countdown appearance on there this week. I was actually waiting for him to go solo with his music, and now here it is. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Luke's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Meghan Trainor/T-Pain - Been Like This: The best countdown debut this week. This is absolutely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Made You Look. And of course we actually haven't heard from T-Pain on there since 2012 even though it's not his song but he was featured in this song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Meghan's vocals were so incredible, T-Pain's vocals were so remarkable in his contribution, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Knox - Not The 1975: Gosh, I feel like this song must've been enjoying the Top 5 on there. But once again I'm sure it's going to be out of here very soon.

4. Tate McRae - Exes: No, this can't drop out of the Top 3 again. But I'm sure it's definitely not going to hit the top spot because of what's going on in there.

3. Benson Boone - Beautiful Things: I'm so pleased to see this song debut the Top 5 and into the Top 3. This is now his first ever Top 5 song on there which was amazing. Though I don't think this song is ever going to hit the top spot, but let's see what happens next.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Feather: Wow, this song was really waiting to get to the top spot. Though I'm sure it's going to drop out of here very soon. It's definitely not hitting the top spot.

1. Dua Lipa - Houdini: Holding the top spot for the 8th week in a row. And now this song is down to 6 more weeks from tying the record. But once again I don't think it's ever going to happen, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Zayn - What I Am

2. Olivia Rodrigo - Obsessed (DEBUT)

3. Jagwar Twin - Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)

4. Benson Boone - Slow It Down (DEBUT)

5. Wallows - Calling After Me (DEBUT)

6. 24kgoldn - Clarity

7. Alec Benjamin - King Size Bed (DEBUT)

8. Alex Warren - Before You Leave Me

9. Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust

10. Liam Payne - Teardrops

12. Nicky Youre - Part Time Lover

13. Kenya Grace - It's Not Fair

14. Haiden Henderson - Hell Of A Good Time

15. Teddy Swims - The Door

16. The Beaches - Blame Brett

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Olivia Rodrigo - Obsessed: Since Get Him Back left the countdown this week, we've now picked up a new single from her. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's definitely a step up from Can't Catch Me Now. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Olivia's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Benson Boone - Slow It Down: Looks like he was trying to use the same formula he used on Beautiful Things with this new song. But it's now here since Beautiful Things hit the Top 5 on the countdown this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Beautiful Things by a little bit, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Benson's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Wallows - Calling After Me: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And of course I've also been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And now, here they are making their first ever Hits 1 appearance. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song. With my opinion on it, the production was super phenomenal, Dylan Minnette's vocals were so heavenly, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Alec Benjamin - King Size Bed: He's now got a new song on there after Pick Me dropped out of here a couple weeks ago. But this is also a mediocre song. He still has his childish voice. Gosh, he seriously needs to get older and get a new voice very soon. But let's get to my opinion. I still don't like Alec's childish voice here and the chorus was okay but not really the best, but the production is still outstanding and the lyrics were still so nicely-written, so I'll definitely still give credit to them. But this is another mediocre song overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Porter Robinson - Cheerleader: Wow, another brand new EDM DJ and singer making his first appearance on there? That's super fun. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song. But definitely not as good as Omi's 2015 hit song of the same title, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this song, the production was so marvelous, Porter's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
