#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Maroon 5/Cardi B. - Girls Like You (5th and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I am super duper pleased to see SHAED - Trampoline (+11) in the Top 20. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 10 soon.
I am also super duper pleased about Lil Nas X/Billy Ray Cyrus - Old Town Road (-5) out of the Top 20. Now we have the best song on the countdown with the biggest jump and the worst song with the biggest drop. I'm pleased about that.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Chris Brown/Drake - No Guidance: This is just a decent song. Chris's vocals in this one sounded amazing and Drake sounded awesome in his contribution, but I'm not huge on the production. I much prefer his older songs. Let's see how this one does.

Kaskade/Meghan Trainor - With You: I've went over this song before. This was such an amazing EDM song. The production sounded amazing, Meghan's vocals sounded amazing, the chorus was amazing, the drop was amazing, everything on this song was amazing. Let's see how this one does here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You: Oh come on. It better not drop out of the Top 5. I'd like to see it be at the top soon. But let's see what happens.
4. Lizzo - Truth Hurts: I'm okay with this song almost in the Top 3. However, if it does go to the Top 3, I'll still be okay.
3. Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber - I Don't Care: I still want it to remain in the Top 3. But let's see what happens.
2. Billie Eilish - Bad Guy: It dropped out of the top spot. I'm okay with this song out of here. I'll still be fine if it goes back to the top spot. But let's see what happens.
1. Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Senorita: I am pretty pleased to see this song at the top spot. Now, I really hope this one stays there for a little longer, because it is an amazing song. Let's see how long it can stay in there.

Now, here are the songs they played for Breakouts/On The Verge:

Herve Pagez/Diplo/Charli XCX - Spicy
