So the month of February is now officially here. So far we're off to an amazing start with music this year. Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks super interesting.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Kendrick Lamar/SZA - Luther (+15) gain lots of airplay throughout the week on pop radio. This totally deserves to take the biggest jump this week! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 20 very soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see Ariana Grande - Popular (-11) take the biggest drop. How could it lose airplay? This does not deserve it! But I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams: Since The Door is officially on it's way out of here, we now have this song making 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.

SZA - BMF: The best debut this week. So this song debuted on there instead of Drive since this was actually the single which I'm actually cool with because this song is actually a step up from Drive. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, SZA's vocals were so incredible, 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. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: I actually didn't expect this song to come back to the Top 5. But I'm actually fine with that. Though I'm sure this is going to hang in there for a few more weeks or so.

4. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: I'm glad to see this song move back up to this spot. Now, can we please let this song get to the Top 3 nexy week?

3. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Gosh, this song sure has been hanging in the Top 3 for a while. But I'm sure this is going to be out of here within the next week or so.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: 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 few more weeks or so.

1. Myles Smith - Stargazing: I somehow didn't expect this song to come back to the top spot. But I'm glad that it actually managed to do it. Though I'm sure another song might take over the top spot within the next week or so, but let's see how long it'll hold the spot in it's second run in there.
