This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm glad Ellie Goulding/Diplo/Swae Lee - Close To Me is gaining lots of airplay on pop radio charts. But Dean Lewis - Be Alright (+5) tieing for the biggest rise of the week is mostly appreciated by me. I'm so pleased about that.

Bebe Rexha - I'm A Mess (-11) having the biggest fall of the week is absolutely not good. I'm not too thrilled about that. Though it looks like it's about to be off the pop radio charts.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Dan + Shay - Tequila: I pretty much already explained why this song was awesome when it debuted the countdown a few months ago. I really love the production in this one, I also love the vocals, and the chorus was awesome. Let's see if that'll do great on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Khalid/Normani - Love Lies: I'm actually okay with this song staying at that spot. However, I do want it to move up.

4. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: I really don't have anything to say about that. I'm still good with this song still at that spot.

3. Ariana Grande - Breathin': Oh come on. I thought it's going to hit #1 this week. Let's see if it'll be there soon.

2. Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes: Great. Now this song needs to be at the top spot next week. I really hope it does next week.

1. Marshmello/Bastille - Happier: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm glad that it's still there. Let's see how long it can stay there even more.

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

Zara Larsson - Ruin My Life

Why Don't We - 8 Letters
