This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile (+5) take the biggest jump for the second week in a row. And now it's in the Top 20 which was an amazing thing to see. Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 10 very soon.

I actually expected Dua Lipa - Illusion (-7) to take the biggest drop since it has been losing lots of airplay recently. And I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

SMITH - Pathetic: Of course I've talked about her song Run when it debuted on there. And now we've picked up another new single from her. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Run. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, SMITH's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Coldplay/Little Simz/Burna Boy/Elyanna/TINI - We Pray: After Feelslikeimfallinginlove didn't do so well on there, we now have a new single from them. And of course this was actually Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI's first appearance on there. They've actually never had a song that has made it on there. And now here they are. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Feelslikeimfallinginlove, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Chris, Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna and TINI's vocals all sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were so remarkable, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how this one does on there.

Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: The best debut this week. So she has released her new album Short n' Sweet, and now we have another single from her debuting on there since Please Please Please hit the top spot. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Please Please Please. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Sabrina's vocals were super incredible, 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. Tommy Richman - MILLION DOLLAR BABY: I have a feeling that this song is going to be out of the Top 5 very soon. But it still had an incredible run in there though.

4. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso: Gosh, this song sure must be loving the Top 5 on there. But again I'm sure this is going to be out of here sometime soon.

3. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: I'm fine with this song in the Top 3. Though I'm sure this is probably going to end up at the top spot. And if it does, I'll still give credit to it. Let's see if it'll be at the top spot soon.

2. Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe!: It's almost at the top spot! I'm so pleased to see it move up and get to the Top 3. But will this be her first ever #1 song on there? I'm sure hoping it will soon.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. Gosh, she sure has been becoming popular on there lately. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
