#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I’m so glad about Jawsh 685/Jason Derulo - Savage Love (+10) getting the biggest jump this week. That was the best week for them!

Post Malone - Circles and Doja Cat - Say So (-4) were all tied for the biggest drop this week. I’m actually pleased about the first one, but for the other one, I’m okay with it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Surf Mesa/Emilee - ILY: I seriously have no idea what’s going on with this song, but my gosh this song is so horrible. And they actually took the Death Bed (Coffee For Your Head) formula, where they took a few lines and then repeated them over and over and over again throughout the entire song! But you know what? No! That can’t be! Now, on to the song. The production sounded so egregious, Surf Mesa’s vocals were so bad, but not as bad as Powfu’s, but they’re still so bad. And I definitely cannot stand that chorus. So yeah, overall it’s such a horrible song for me. This is definitely going to be in my Bottom 10 Songs of the year just like Death Bed (Coffee For Your Head) is. Hopefully this does not become a hit.

AJR - Bang!: I’ve been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. Now, this is absolutely an amazing song and it’s definitely their best song ever. Now, for my opinion, the production sounded amazing, their vocals were amazing, the lyrics are amazing, the chorus was amazing, everything on this song was amazing. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Jack Harlow - What’s Poppin: We have another awesome rapper making his debut on there. Now, I’ve gone through my opinion on this one last week when it debuted Hit Bound. The production sounded so outstanding, Jack’s vocals are so awesome, the lyrics are definitely outstanding, and the chorus was absolutely amazing. Let’s see if this one should become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar: I’m glad it made it’s debut in the Top 5. Now, I’m 100% sure it’s going to be at the top spot very soon. Hopefully it’ll be in there soon.

4. Saint Jhn/Imanbek - Roses: Well, it’s almost in the Top 3. Though I am still giving credit to this song if it’s in the Top 3 soon.

3. Dua Lipa - Break My Heart: I’m still waiting for this song to be at the top spot. But I am sure hoping that it should move up next week.

2. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights: It dropped out of the top spot. Now, I don’t think it’s ever going to be back at the top spot. But I do sure would like this song to stay in the Top 5 for a little bit longer.

1. Trevor Daniel - Falling: This is now his first ever #1 song on there! That was an amazing start for his career. Now, let’s see how long it could hold the spot.
