#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

NF - Let You Down (2nd and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Lil Peep/iLoveMakonnen/Fall Out Boy - I've Been Waiting (+14) has been gaining airplay on the pop radio charts. But I'm actually okay with this song having the biggest jump this week, because it's just mediocre.
I'm not too thrilled about the biggest drop this week from The Chainsmokers/Kelsea Ballerini - This Feeling (-9). This has been doing amazing on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown, so this needs to jump and get to the top.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Sabrina Carpenter - Sue Me: The best entrant this week. This is definitely her best song ever. I pretty much already explained why this was her best song ever when it debuted the countdown last month. This song is definitely very heaven. The production is very heaven, Sabrina's vocals are very heaven, the lyrics are very heaven, the chorus was very heaven, everything on this song was very heaven. This is going to be in my Top 3 songs of this year. I really want this to become a hit.

Lady Gaga/Bradley Cooper - Shallow: It re-entered the AT40 this week, because it hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 a while ago. I'm so glad that this song was back. Though this song wasn't as good as I'll Never Love Again, but it is still great. Both of them sounded awesome in this one. Let's see if it'll have another chance to become a hit.

Jonas Brothers - Sucker: They finally made their return on here. This song also had the highest debut ever in the history of the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown, which was originally held by Call Me Maybe and Look What You Made Me Do, both which debuted at #13. Now, on to my opinion. This was such an amazing song. The instrumentation sounded amazing, both Nick and Joe sounded amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus was amazing, everything on this song was amazing. I do see this becoming a big hit. This song is going to be The Middle of 2019. Let's see if this one does amazing on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Post Malone/Swae Lee - Sunflower: Oh great. This song is finally dropping. Let's see if it'll be out of here soon.
4. Ariana Grande - Thank U, Next: No! Please don't let this song jump! This seriously needs to stay out of the Top 3 and it needs to be out of here! I really had it with this song!
3. Halsey - Without Me: Great. This song is finally dropping. Let's see if it'll be out of the Top 3 next week.
2. Ariana Grande - 7 Rings: It's almost at the top. I know she was the queen of the American Top 40, because she had a lot of #1 songs on here. Let's see if this song should be at the top next week.
1. Benny Blanco/Halsey/Khalid - Eastside: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I was so pleased that this song was still there, because it's such a heaven song.
