#1. Maroon 5/Cardi B. - Girls Like You (#1) [3rd Week At #1]
#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:
Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holding Me Back (1st and only week at #1)
This Week's Mover and Shaker:
Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman (+10) has been gaining lots of airplay on pop radio charts. Hopefully I could see it do great even more.
Drake - Nice For What (-10) unfortunately had the biggest fall of the week this week. I did not expect that to happen. It spent a lot of the weeks at the top on the Billboard Hot 100, and I really want to see it move back up.
New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:
Charlie Puth - The Way I Am: This song is so awesome. I could say that this song was just a step up from Done For Me. I really love Charlie's vocals in this one, the lyrics are nice, and I fell in love with that chorus. I'm hoping this should do great here.
Juice WRLD - Lucid Dreams: UGH! More rap music on here! This song is definitely insanely awful. The production is so terrible, the vocals are grating and the lyrical content is awful. This is definitely going to be in my Bottom 10 songs of the year. This better do not do great on this countdown.
My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:
5. Cardi B./Bad Bunny/J. Balvin - I Like It: I'm still waiting for this song to stay out of the top spot. Hopefully it does.
4. Taylor Swift - Delicate: I'd still like this song to stay in the Top 5 for a little while longer at the very least.
3. Marshmello/Anne-Marie - Friends: Oh no. It better not drop. It needs to be at the top spot here. It's going to be pretty boring if it doesn't.
2. Post Malone - Better Now: ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! It's about to be at the top spot. The top spot is now going to be a dangerous spot for this song, because I hate Post Malone's music so much. Hopefully this doesn't go to the top.
1. Maroon 5/Cardi B. - Girls Like You: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm actually okay with that song staying at the top. But I'm hoping this song or any other song in the Top 5 could block Better Now to the top spot.
Now, here are the songs they played for Breakouts/On The Verge:
Sabrina Carpenter - Almost Love
Justin Timberlake - SoulMate
Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside
The Chainsmokers/Emily Warren - Side Effects
And here are the songs they played as Extras/Optional Extras:

Hit me with your thoughts and any interesting facts that you have on the artists!
Do you at least like Candy Paint by Post Malone? It's arguably his best song, and it's actually really good. Even music critics who absolutely despise Post Malone as much as you do like Candy Paint.
ReplyDeleteNice post, though.
No, I don’t like Candy Paint.
DeleteMe neither.
DeleteGreat post. Are there any rap songs you like?
ReplyDeleteNope.
Delete*sees No Brainer and In My Feelings in green*
Delete*goes back even further and sees God's Plan in green*
yeah ok those are all pretty much rap/hip-hop songs
ATR: Are you a fan of rap music?
DeleteWaffle: Please stop. I hate when you look with your eyes and see if No Brainer is in green.
loooool
DeleteChase: No, I’m not a fan of rap music.
DeleteI’m not really into rap music either. It’s not as good as it used to be. It’s just sort of blah. I’m with you, ATR.
DeleteGreat.
