This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I am not happy about Post Malone/Young Thug - Goodbyes having the biggest jump this week all the way to the Top 20. This does not deserve to go there.
The Chainsmokers/Bebe Rexha - Call You Mine, Bryce Vine/YG - La La Land and Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road (-3) were tied for the biggest drop this week. I am super happy about the last two, but not for the first one.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

SHAED - Trampoline: The best debut this week. I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. This is such an extremely heaven song. The instrumentation sounded extremely heaven, Chelsea's vocals shine pretty much throughout the whole song, the lyrics are extremely heaven, and that chorus sounded extremely heaven. This is definitely going to be my #1 song of 2019. I really hope this one does heaven on here.

Jonas Brothers - Only Human: This is such an amazing song. This is a step up from Cool. The production in this one sounded remarkable, Nick's vocals shine throughout the entire song, the lyrics are amazing, and the chorus was heaven. Let's see if it'll do amazing on here.

Ed Sheeran/Khalid - Beautiful People: This song was definitely amazing. This is definitely way better than Cross Me. Now, on to my opinion. The production in this one sounded amazing, Ed's vocals sounded fantastic, Khalid's vocals sounded amazing in his contribution, and I fell in love with the chorus. Let's see if it does great on this countdown.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You: How is it holding there? Cone on, I'd like it to be in the Top 3. Let's see if it does soon.
4. Jonas Brothers - Sucker: I'm glad it's still in the Top 5. Although I might start getting sick of it, but let's see how long it stays there by the time I get sick of it.
3. Billie Eilish - Bad Guy: I'm okay with it still being in the Top 3. Although if it hits #1 soon, I'll still be okay with that. Let's see what happens.
2. Khalid - Talk: It dropped out of the top spot. Although it did had a nice time spending a few weeks at the top.
1. Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber - I Don't Care: I'm so glad to see this song at the top. This was such an amazing song. Let's see how long it can hold the spot.
