So Christmas is almost here! I'm so looking forward to see what Santa got me this year. Hopefully it'll be more great presents and some more candy in my stocking. Anyway.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Ariana Grande - Popular (+11) gain lots of airplay on there this week. This totally deserves to take the biggest jumps! Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 10 soon.

I'm not really too happy to see Jack Harlow - Hello Miss Johnson (-6) take the biggest drop. Come on, this should be gaining more airplay and not losing some this week! But hopefully it'll move back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams: After dropping out of Hit Bound months ago then re-entering and dropping out for a second time last week, this song has now finally made it's debut on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as The Door, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Teddy's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Meghan Trainor - Criminals: I actually didn't expect this song to come back on there. And wow, how did it come back here this high? That was so crazy. But I'm still glad to see it re-enter there. Now, let's see how this one does on it's second run in there.

Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem: The best countdown debut this week. And of course this song debuts all the way at the Top 10 after being in the abyss for several months which was so insane. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Taste, but it's still phenomenal. I've gone through this song before when it debuted the AT40 last month. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Sabrina's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so marvelous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should become a hit on there which I'm sure it's going to.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: She now has her first ever Top 5 song on there. I'm so pleased to see it do that and I'm sure hoping that this will make it to the Top 3 soon.

4. Gracie Abrams - Close To You: Well it's out of the Top 3 which I kinda expected. But it still had a nice time in there. But I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

3. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: I actually didn't expect this song to come back to the Top 3. But I'm actually fine with that. But I'm sure this is going to drop back out of here very soon.

2. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: It dropped out of the top spot. But it still had an amazing run  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. But let's see what happens next.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: I'm pleased to see this song back at the top spot. I kinda didn't expect it to happen though, but I'm glad that it actually managed to do it. Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot in it's third time in there.

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

1. Henry Moodie - Good Old Days

2. SZA - Drive (DEBUT)

16. Dasha - Heartbreaker From Tennessee

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

SZA - Drive: So she has dropped the deluxe version of SOS and now we have one of the songs from it making a it's debut on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Saturn, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, SZA's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
