AT40: Shawn Mendes (4) Week Of September 28, 2019

So it has been announced that Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will be performing at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show this February. To me, that would be an excellent choice, because they're all great singers. I really can't wait to see their performance. Anyway. Now, let's get to it!

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm not too thrilled about the biggest jump this week from Post Malone - Circles (+12). His music was definitely garbage. Come on, it better not go to the Top 10.

Dan + Shay - Speechless (-11) had a massive drop this week out of the Top 20. I'm not happy to see that. Although this might be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

ILLENIUM/Jon Bellion - Good Things Fall Apart: I heard this song before on Alt Nation. It's such an amazing alt/pop song. Now, on to the song. The production in this one sounded amazing, Jon'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 on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Post Malone/Young Thug - Goodbyes: I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE ANOTHER SONG FROM HIM DEBUTING THE TOP 5 THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so mad about this. Now, back to my opinion. The production in this one sounded horrible, Post's vocals sounded terrible, Young Thug's verse sounded absolutely horrible, and that chorus was so underwhelming. It better not be at the top.
4. Billie Eilish - Bad Guy: I really don't have much to say, but I'm still okay with this song still in there. Let's see what happens.
3. Ed Sheeran/Justin Bieber - I Don't Care: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3. I somehow want it to be back at the top, but let's see what happens.
2. Lizzo - Truth Hurts: I'm actually fine with this song still in there. I'll still be okay if it hits #1 soon. Let's see what happens then.
1. Shawn Mendes/Camila Cabello - Senorita: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. That's pretty amazing that it's still in there. I'm so pleased about that. Now, let's see how long it can stay in there even more.

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

Camila Cabello - Liar
Katy Perry - Small Talk
Camila Cabello - Shameless
Lil Tecca - Ran$om
