Post Malone - Better Now (1 of 2 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Lil Nas X - Panini (+6) does not deserve to have the biggest jump this week! I really had it with this song and I hope it doesn't get to the Top 20.

I'm not too thrilled about Panic! At The Disco - Hey Look Ma, I Made It (-7) with the biggest drop this week. It's such a cool song and I really want to see it move back up.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Monsta X/French Montana - Who Do U Love: We have another K-Pop group making it's debut here. But, this song was just decent. I'm not huge on the production and the beat, but their vocals sounded great and French Montana has nailed his verse. But overall, the song was decent. Let's see how this one does.

Normani Kordei - Motivation: This is the only great debut this week and it's definitely the best debut this week. This is such an amazing song. Now, on to the song. The production in this one was so amazing, Normani's vocals are absolutely amazing, and I really enjoyed that chorus. Let's see how this one does on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You: I'm glad this song didn't get out of here. Now, I really want to see it back in the Top 3. Let's see what happens.
4. Billie Eilish - Bad Guy: It dropped out of the Top 3. I'm still fine with that, because it's just a decent song.
3. Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber - I Don't Care: I really don't have much to say, but I'm glad it's still in the Top 3. Let's see how long it can remain in here.
2. Lizzo - Truth Hurts: I'm actually okay with this song almost at the top. If it hits #1 soon, I'll still be fine. Let's see what happens.
1. Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Senorita: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. It's pretty amazing that it's still in there. Let's see how long it can stay in there even more.
