#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Taylor Swift - Delicate (3rd and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Taylor Swift - You Need To Calm Down (+13) has been taking a big jump this week into the Top 5! What a week for her!

I did not expect Lewis Capaldi - Someone You Loved (-11) to have the biggest drop this week. I really hope this song should make it's comeback.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

AJR - 100 Bad Days: I heard this song a lot on Alt Nation. Now, this song was such an amazing song. It's a step up from Burn The House Down. The production in this one sounded amazing, the vocals shine throughout the whole song, and that chorus sounded unstoppable. Let's see if it'll do amazing on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Chainsmokers/5 Seconds Of Summer - Who Do You Love: It dropped out of the top spot. Though it did had a pretty good time spending a couple of weeks at the top spot. It should've gotten to the top spot a few months ago, but I'm glad it managed to do it for a couple of weeks.

4. Taylor Swift - You Need To Calm Down: It debuted the Top 5 this week by the biggest jump. Now, this was such an outstanding song. But it's not as good as ME!, but it is still outstanding. Now, back to my opinion. I really love that production and Taylor's vocals sounded outstanding. The chorus is what I stand for. Let's see if it'll be at the top soon.

3. Jonas Brothers - Sucker: I'm glad to see it back in the Top 3. I might get sick of it, though. Let's see how long it can stay in there by the time I get sick of it.
2. Halsey - Nightmare: It's so nice to see it back at that spot. It's almost at the top. Now, let's see if it'll be at the top soon.

1. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You: I'm so pleased to see it back at the top. Let's see how long it can hold the spot.

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

1. Dominic Fike - 3 Nights

2. OneRepublic - Rescue Me

3. Mark Ronson/Camila Cabello - Find U Again

4. Ellie Goulding/Juice WRLD - Hate Me

5. Stephen Puth - Look Away

6. Sam Smith - How Do You Sleep?

7. Jonas Brothers - Only Human

8. SHAED - Trampoline

9. Jax Jones/Bebe Rexha - Harder

10. Taylor Swift - The Archer (DEBUT)

11. Thomas Rhett - Look What God Gave Her

12. Miley Cyrus - Mother's Daughter

13. Ed Sheeran/Khalid - Beautiful People (DEBUT)

14. Asher Angel - One Thought Away

15. Zara Larsson - All The Time

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Taylor Swift - The Archer: This is definitely an amazing song. It's an automatic step up from You Need To Calm Down. Now, on to my opinion. The production in this one sounded amazing, Taylor's vocals sounded fantastic, I'm a fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was definitely heaven. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Ed Sheeran/Khalid - Beautiful People: I've already went over this song on my AT40 post. This was an amazing song. It's definitely better than Cross Me. 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 that chorus. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown within the next week or so.
