#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Tate McRae - Greedy (9 of 11 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Tate McRae - 2 Hands (+10) finally gain some airplay and take the biggest jump this week. This really deserves to do that! Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 10 very soon.

I actually expected Gracie Abrams - Close To You (-10) to take the biggest drop this week. It actually started to lose some airplay this week so I'm sure it's going to be out of here pretty soon.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club: I'm so pleased to see this song back in the Top 5. It totally deserves to come back to there! Now, hopefully this should go to the Top 3 very soon.

4. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: I actually didn't expect this song to move up, but I'm sure this is probably going to be it's last week in there, but I'm sure it might stay in there for at least one more week or so.

3. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Yeah I'd like this song to stay in the Top 5 for at least a few more weeks because I know it's still doing so well lately on the pop radio charts. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: It dropped out of the top spot again. But it still had yet another amazing time in there last week. Though I'd like it to stay in the Top 3 within a few more weeks because I know it's her. But let's see what happens next.

1. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: There it is! Her first ever #1 song on there. I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. It really deserves it! Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot.

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

1. TWICE/Megan Thee Stallion - Strategy

2. Teddy Swims/Giveon - Are You Even Real (DEBUT)

3. Balu Brigada - So Cold

4. Kesha - Delusional

5. Nessa Barrett - Pins And Needles

6. Twenty One Pilots - The Line

7. SZA - Drive

8. Ariana Grande/Cynthia Erivo - What Is This Feeling?

9. Griff - Last Night's Mascara

10. Crash Adams - Optimist

11. Rose - Drinks Or Coffee

12. Morgan Wallen - Smile (DEBUT)

13. Raye - Oscar Winning Tears

14. The Marias - No One Noticed

15. Dasha - Bye Bye Bye

16. Almost Monday - Can't Slow Down

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Teddy Swims/Giveon - Are You Even Real: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is definitely another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Bad Dreams, but it's still amazing. Plus I haven't heard from the latter since For Tonight from a few years ago which was so interesting. But let's get to my opinion. The production was so remarkable, both Teddy and Giveon sound super amazing, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Morgan Wallen - Smile: We've now picked up a new single from him since Love Somebody is still continuing to do well on both pop and country radio. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Love Somebody. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing although there's not much of a beat there, but Morgan's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.
