Imagine Dragons - Thunder (2nd and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

The fact that Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next (+19) having the biggest jump this week on here makes me wanna loathe. But it's going to do awesome on here. But I actually don't want that, because this song was crappy.

Woah. Imagine Dragons - Natural (-25) has tied for the biggest drop of the year here. I did not even expect that.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Ellie Goulding/Diplo/Swae Lee - Close To Me: What an amazing song. I pretty much already explained why this song was amazing when it debuted Hit Bound last month. Ellie's vocals shine pretty much throughout the whole song, especially when she hits those high notes in the chorus. I do love Swae Lee's verse. He sounds a lot better than in Sunflower with Post Malone. Let's see if it'll do amazing on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Khalid/Normani - Love Lies: No, I don't want this song to drop. But I'm still glad that it's still in here.

4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: Oh come on. Why do we need this song to drop? I would like it to be back in the Top 3.

3. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: It debuted the Top 5 this week and I was so pleased about that. Now, back to my opinion. Brendon's vocals are amazing, I'm a fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was heaven. Now, I really want it to hit #1 on here.

2. Ariana Grande - Breathin': It even debuted the Top 5 this week. Now, back to my opinion. The production in this one was amazing, Ariana's vocals shine pretty much throughout the whole song, the lyrics are amazing, and that chorus was amazing. This is definitely going to hit #1 next week. Let's see if it does.

1. Marshmello/Bastille - Happier: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so glad that it's still there. It's pretty awesome that it's still there.

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

Dan + Shay - Tequila
