This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Rose/Bruno Mars - APT. (+6) take the biggest jumps to the Top 5. It really deserves to be in there! But I'll have more on that soon.

Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart (-11) took the biggest drop for the second week in a row. Gosh, it really has been losing lots of airplay recently so 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:

Gigi Perez - Sailor Song: The best debut this week. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And I've noticed that this song has been doing well on streaming lately as well as on the Hot 100, and now here it is on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Gigi's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were pretty nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Kendrick Lamar - Squabble Up: So I've found out that he will be performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show this year, which I'm so looking forward to seeing next month. And now, we've picked up another single from him on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song. But definitely not as good as Not Like Us, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Kendrick's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how this one does on there.

Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson: He hasn't been releasing any music since Lovin On Me last year. And now he has made his return on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Lovin On Me. With my opinion, the jazz style production was so phenomenal, Jack's vocals were super phenomenal especially in his flow, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Hozier - Too Sweet: Well it's about to be out of the Top 5. I'm sure this will be it's last week in there. But again it still had a phenomenal run in there.

4. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: Thanks to it's biggest jumps this week, this song has now made it to the Top 5. And of course this is now her first ever Top 5 song on there which was amazing. Now, hopefully it should make it to the Top 3 very soon.

3. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Yeah I'd like this song to stay in the Top 3 for at least a few more weeks, but I do have a feeling that it might get out of here very soon. But let's see what happens next.

2. Myles Smith - Stargazing: It dropped out of the top spot. But it still had a nice time in there last week, but I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 3 very soon as well.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. Of course it has to be in there because it's her. She really is getting super popular lately. Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot.
