#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Halsey - Bad At Love (2nd and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm glad James Arthur - Empty Space and Ellie Goulding/Diplo - Close To Me (+8) are gaining airplay on pop radio charts. What a week for them!
Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho (-10) unfortunately had a pretty big drop this week. I have to say, I wasn't very pleased about that. That is absolutely not the best way to end the year. This needs to move back up next year.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Youngblood: Good. It's still in the Top 5. I really hope this song stays in there in the beginning of next year.
4. Halsey - Without Me: I'm still waiting for this song to not hit #1 on here. If it hits #1 next year, I'm going to be mad. Let's see if it doesn't.
3. Panic! At The Disco p High Hopes: I did not expect this song to drop. At least it's still in the Top 3, so that's very good.
2. Marshmello/Bastille - Happier: I'm glad that it's almost back at the top. Itshould be pretty awesome if this song goes back to #1 later next year.
1. The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Of course, I'm glad that it's still there. I really don't have anything to say about that. Let's see if it could even hold the spot next year.

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

1. lovelytheband - Maybe, I'm Afraid
