AT40: Sabrina Carpenter (3) Week Of January 25, 2025

As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks super amazing. We do have one lonely debut this week that was going to be in my top songs of the year which was always amazing, and we also have an interesting Top 5 this week. But I'm gonna get to that later on in this post as always. But other than that, I don't have anything else to say here, so let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 40, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Ariana Grande - Popular (+7) has been gaining lots of airplay this week since the Wicked soundtrack is getting so popular recently. I'm so pleased to see it take the biggest jump this week and I'm sure hoping that it should go to the Top 20 soon.

I actually expected Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please to take the biggest drop since it has been losing some airplay recently. But what's also tied for the biggest drop was Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay (-6) for the second week in a row, which I'm again not too thrilled to see. But I'm sure they're going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Kendrick Lamar/SZA - Luther: So they have collaborated for the second time since All The Stars from the Black Panther soundtrack back in 2018. And of course in case you remember, All The Stars was in my Top 10 Songs of 2018, landing at #3 on this list. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song. But definitely not as good as All The Stars, but it's still heavenly. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, both Kendrick and SZA sound super heavenly, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was super heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully it'll become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: No, this can't be moving down! This should be getting into the Top 3, but I'm sure hoping that it'll move back up and get there soon.

4. Hozier - Too Sweet: I actually didn't expect this song to come back to the Top 5. But I'm pleased about that. But I'm sure this is going to be back out of here next week.

3. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: I'm sure this is probably going to end up being it's last week in the Top 3. But maybe it'll stay in the Top 5 for a couple more weeks or so and then be on it's way out of here.

2. Myles Smith - Stargazing: Yeah I'll keep this song in the Top 3 for at least one more week or so, but maybe it might drop out of here very soon. But let's see what happens next.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Gosh, she sure has been having a lot of popular songs on there. She really can't be stopped! Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
