AT40: Dua Lipa (3) Week Of March 28, 2020

As far as the countdown goes this week, things are looking so interesting. You see that we got rid of an old song on here, which was great because if it's still on there, I won't listen to it ever again until it leaves the countdown. And like that, the song should grow back on me whenever I feel like it. Anyway. Other than that, we have some amazing debuts on here. I don't have anything else to say, so let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 40, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Lady Gaga - Stupid Love (+7) in the Top 20. Now I'm sure hoping that it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

Lizzo - Good As Hell (-5) is about to be out of here very soon. Though it did had an amazing run on here, with it being #1 for a few weeks on here earlier this year.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Maren Morris - The Bones: The best entrant this week. I've heard this song a lot on The Highway. Now, this was definitely an amazing country-pop song. The instrumentation sounded amazing, the production also sounded amazing, Maren's vocals sounded phenomenal, and that chorus was so amazing. Hopefully this one does better than the Highway Hot 30.

Niall Horan - No Judgement: This was also another amazing song. It's definitely a step up from Nice To Meet Ya and Put A Little Love On Me. The production in this one sounded outstanding, Niall's vocals are amazing, the lyrics are well-written, and wow, that chorus sounded phenomenal. Hopefully this becomes a massive hit on here.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Weeknd - Heartless: I have no idea why it's still in that spot. I really would like to see it move up and see it in the Top 3.

4. Post Malone - Circles: I'm pleased that it's out of the Top 3. Now, this needs to be out of the Top 5 next week. Let's see if I'm right.

3. Blackbear - Hot Girl Bummer: I'm actually fine with this song in the Top 3. I don't mind seeing this at the top spot. Let's see what happens.

2. Arizona Zervas - Roxanne: Can we please let this song not just stand there and be out of the Top 5? I don't really want this song at the top spot.

1. Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. I'm so glad that it's still in there. Now I'd like this song to stay in there and not let Roxanne be in there.

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

Meghan Trainor/Nicki Minaj - Nice To Meet Ya
