#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm not too thrilled about Ariana Grande/Social House - Boyfriend (+11) taking a massive jump into the Top 20 this week. Come on, this better not go to the Top 10!

Katy Perry - Never Really Over (-15) has unfortunately dropped out of the Top 20. I'm not too thrilled about this, either. But hopefully it should make it's comeback soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

OneRepublic - Rescue Me: This is definitely an amazing song. I've gone through my opinion on this song a couple months ago. The instrumentation in this one sounded amazing, Ryan Tedder's vocals are amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus was amazing, everything on this song was amazing. Let's see if it does well on here.

Lil Nas X - Panini: As what I said before, Lil Nas X is not a good singer. Though this song isn't as bad as Old Town Road, but it is still garbage. The production in this one is boring, Lil Nas X's vocals sounded terrible, and that chorus was garbage. This better not do well on here.

NF - Time: This is such an amazing song. It's definitely better than Let You Down and Lie. Now, on to my opinion. Everything on this song is better. The production in this one sounded absolutely amazing, NF's vocals sounded fantastic, the lyrics are what I'm a fan of, and that chorus was marvelous. Let's see how this one does here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Lizzo - Truth Hurts: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm actually okay with that, because it's just a decent song. Now, back to my opinion. I'm not a fan of her voice, but the production sounded great. The chorus in this one was okay. Let's see if it'll be at the top soon.

4. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You: Come on... this better not be dropping. I would like to see it at the top spot soon. But let's see what happens.

3. Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Senorita: It has finally made it to the Top 3! Now let's see if it'll be at the top spot soon.

2. Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber - I Don't Care: I'm glad that it's still in there. Let's see how long it can still be on here.

1. Billie Eilish - Bad Guy: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm okay with this song still in that spot. Let's see how long it can stay in there even more.
