This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I wasn't very pleased about the big jump into the Top 20 from Khalid - Young, Dumb, & Broke (+13). This song seriously needs to be out of here.

P!nk - Beautiful Trauma (-16) has unfortunately had a big drop out of the Top 20 this week. I'd hope this song makes it's comeback soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Charlie Puth/Kehlani - Done For Me: It's such an amazing song. I can say that this one is better than How Long, and it sounds a lot like this one. The production is outstanding, and Charlie's vocals are awesome. I do love Kehlani's vocals in the second verse. The chorus grabs my attention. Here's to hoping that I see some success out of this song.

Noah Kahan/Julia Michaels - Hurt Somebody: Making his first countdown appearance this week. This song didn't graduate to Hit Bound, which is great. I love the instrumentation, Noah's vocals sounded really good, Julia's vocals are so amazing in the second verse, and the chorus was outstanding. Since it failed to graduate to Hit Bound, it's definitely going to do great on this countdown. Let's see if it does.

Shawn Mendes - In My Blood: This is another song that didn't graduate on Hit Bound. And of course, he guest-hosted this week's countdown. Now, on to the song. The rock production is awesome, Shawn's vocals are really great, and I enjoyed the chorus. It's definitely going to do amazing on this countdown. Let's hope it does.

Taylor Swift - Delicate: The best countdown debut of the week. Not as good as End Game or Look What You Made Me Do, but it's still an amazing song. The production is so amazing, Taylor's vocals are extremely amazing, the lyrics are amazing, and I fell in love with the chorus. This better become another hit from her album and this needs to do amazing on this countdown and everywhere else.

My Opinions/My Thpoughts On The Top 5:

5. G-Eazy/Halsey - Him & I: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I was very pleased to see it on here. This is G-Eazy's first song to hit the Top 5 here on this countdown. Now, for my opinion on this song is that this song is so catchy. It's just a step up from Me, Myself, & I. G-Eazy nailed the verses and I love Halsey's vocals in the chorus and that last verse. Will this song hit #1 on here soon? I hope so. This seriously needs to go for the gold and be at the top soon.

4. Ed Sheeran - Perfect: Oh my gosh. This song is really holding that spot. I'm pretty sure it should jump next week. Let's see if it does.

3. Hailee Steinfeld/Alesso/Florida Georgia Line/Watt - Let Me Go: It dropped out of the top spot. I think this should be the end of this song in the Top 5 or something. However, it should grow out of me soon. I would like this song to be out of the Top 5 anytime soon.

2. Walk The Moon - One Foot: Come on. This song seriously needs to be at the top. It can't hold there. Let's see if it should next week.

1. Zedd/Maren Morris/Grey - The Middle: I'm not too thrilled about this song being back at the top. This song needs to not be at that spot anymore. This week better be it's last week at the top. I had enough of this song. Let's hope this song drops out of the top next week.

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

1. Post Malone/Ty Dolla $ign - Psycho

2. Alice Merton - No Roots

3. Bazzi - Mine

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Panic! At The Disco - Say Amen (Saturday Night): Brendon Urie has guest-hosted Hit Bound this week. Now, on to the song. Not as good as Death Of A Bachelor, but it's just a step up from L.A. Devotee. The production is awesome, Brendon's vocals are awesome, and I really enjoyed the chorus. I hope this song makes the countdown soon.

Welshly Arms - Legendary: It re-entered Hit Bound this week. Let's see if this song should have another shot to make it's debut on the countdown.
