#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Bruno Mars/Cardi B. - Finesse (Remix) (2nd and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I was so pleased to see Marshmello/CHVRCHES - Here With Me (+10) gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts. What a week for them.

I was also pleased about Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next (-6) having the biggest drop this week as it dropped all the way out of the Top 10. Now, this needs to keep dropping. I had it with this song.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Billie Eilish - When The Party's Over: This song is definitely Billie's best song ever. This was such an amazing song. Her voice is actually amazing in this one. Also then that, the production was amazing, the lyrics are definitely amazing, and I fell in love with the chorus. I really hope this one becomes a hit.

Alessia Cara - Out Of Love: This is definitely a step up from Trust My Lonely. It's actually a piano ballad, which was interesting. Alessia's vocals are outstanding here, the piano sounded amazing, the lyrics are marvelous, and the chorus was spectacular. Let's see how this one does here.

Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It: What an awesome song. I've already explained why this song was awesome several times when it's on the countdown. I really love the instrumentation, Brendon's vocals are amazing, the lyrics are awesome, and that chorus was just fantastic. Since this song spent several weeks at #1 on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown, I could see it do amazing on here. Let's see if it does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Khalid - Better: I'm glad that it's still in there. Though I'm still waiting for this song to be in the Top 3. Let's see if it does soon.

4. Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside: I don't want this song to be out of the Top 3. I want it to be back in there. Let's see if it does next week.

3. Ellie Goulding/Diplo/Swae Lee - Close To Me: I'm glad to see this song being in the Top 3. Now, let's see if it'll be at the top soon.

2. Halsey - Without Me: Is this the end of it? I sure hope so, because it has been on here for a long time. I really want this song to drop.

1. Ariana Grande - 7 Rings: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm glad that it's still there. Let's see if it could stay in there even more.
