This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Uh oh! Travis Scott/Drake - Sicko Mode has made it to the Top 30. But lucky for me, Silk City/Dua Lipa - Electricity (+8) has tied for the biggest rise this week and it also made the Top 30.
DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer unfortunately had the biggest fall of the week this week. At least it's still in the Top 20, so that's good. But Cardi B./Bad Bunny/J. Balvin - I Like It (-6) has also been tied for the biggest fall of the week this week and I was so pleased to see that.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow: This is a song taking from the A Star Is Born soundtrack. This is such an awesome song. I love Bradley's vocals in the verses and Gaga's vocals are so outstanding. Let's see how this one does.

The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling: This is so amazing. I pretty much already explained why this song is so amazing when it debuted the countdown last month. It's a nice duet between Drew and Kelsea. First off, Kelsea's vocals are so amazing in the first verse, and Drew's vocals in the second verse sounded great. I really like the chorus. Since it was doing great on the countdown, this is most likely going to do great on here.

Camila Cabello - Consequences: The best debut of the week. This is an amazing love song. The piano in this one sounded amazing, Camila's vocals shine pretty much throughout the whole song, and the chorus is what I fell in love with. This needs to do amazing on here.

Drake/Michael Jackson - Don't Matter To Me: This is one of the best songs off of the album Scorpion. Drake's vocals in this one are so nice in this one. We do have some vocals from the late Michael Jackson, which is very amazing. I love his contribution. This better do amazing on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Selena Gomez - Back To You: Oh no! This better not drop. This needs to stay there. Let's see if it does next week.

4. Post Malone - Better Now: Whew. It's out of here. Now this needs to be out of the Top 5, out of the Top 10, out of the Top 30, and out of the countdown. I really had it with his music.

3. Khalid/Normani - Love Lies: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3. Let's see how long it can stay there.

2. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: It dropped out of the top spot. I somehow still want it to be back at the top soon.

1. Ariana Grande - God Is A Woman: I'm so glad about this song at the top. This is her second song in a row to hit #1 here on this countdown. Let's see how long it can hold that spot.

Now, here are the songs they played for Breakouts/On The Verge:

Post Malone/Swae Lee - Sunflower
