This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so glad Little Mix/Nicki Minaj - Woman Like Me (+14) had the biggest jump of the week this week into the Top 20. What a week for them!
As to say, The Chainsmokers/Emily Warren - Side Effects (-12) has unfortunately had the biggest drop this week as it dropped all the way out of the Top 20. I can't say I'm too thrilled about it. But I think it's already off the pop radio charts.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Imagine Dragons - Natural: It re-entered the Top 5 this week. Let's see if it'll spend another week at the top soon.
4. Marshmello/Bastille - Happier: I somehow still want this song in the Top 5. I really don't have anything to say about that.
3. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: It dropped out of the top spot. I still want this song to tie the record for most weeks at #1 here.
2. The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling: It even re-entered the Top 5 this week. Now, let's see if it'll be at the top next week.
1. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: I'm so pleased about this song being back at the top. This is now their biggest hit on this countdown. Let's see how long it can hold the spot.

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

1. Steve Aoki/BTS - Waste It On Me
2. James Arthur - Empty Space
3. Olly Murs - Moves
4. Dan + Shay - Speechless
5. Ellie Goulding/Diplo - Close To Me
6. Imagine Dragons - Machine
7. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Killer Queen
8. Zara Larsson - Ruin My Life
9. Khalid - Better
10. Lauren Jauregui - Expectations
11. Twenty One Pilots - Chlorine
12. Alessia Cara - Trust My Lonely
13. Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart (DEBUT)
14. Dean Lewis - Be Alright
15. Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus - Nothing Breaks Like A Heart: I really love the production in this one, Miley's vocals are nice, and the lyrics are also nice. I'll have more words on this one when it debuts the countdown soon.
