#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Shawn Mendes - If I Can't Have You (8 of 9 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see AJR - Bang! (+11) in the Top 10 and almost in the Top 5. Will this be their first Top 5 song on there? I'm sure hoping it'll be in there next week.

I didn't actually expect 5 Seconds Of Summer - Old Me (-11) to have the biggest drop. But it just managed to do it. But yeah, it is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Drake/Lil Durk - Laugh Now Cry Later: This is just a decent song. There really is nothing interesting to say about it. Though it is not as decent as Toosie Slide, but it's still decent. The production sounded decent, but Drake's vocals are so awesome and the chorus sounded solid. But I'm actually not a fan of Lil Durk's verse. But yeah, it's decent. Let's see how this one does.

24kgoldn/Iann Dior - Mood: This song is actually way better than City Of Angels, but it's still not great. This is also a decent song. Although the production here sounded so much better than in City Of Angels, but I still don't like Goldn's vocals. But the only thing I like here is Iann Dior's verse. He sounded so awesome here. And I'm actually still giving credit to the chorus, because it sounded just fine. So yeah, it's another decent song. Let's see how far this one goes.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Jawsh 685/Jason Derulo - Savage Love: I actually don't want this song to drop. But I'm not sure what to do with it. Maybe it might not get to the Top 3 or something, but we're gonna have to see.

4. Gabby Barrett/Charlie Puth - I Hope: It is almost at the Top 3! Now, I'm sure this should be in the Top 3 very soon. I'm really hoping it should happen.

3. Ava Max - Kings & Queens: Can we please let this song be at the top spot and not let it stand there? I'd sure would like to see it there, because it's a pretty heavenly song.

2. Blackbear - Me & Ur Ghost: Well, at least it's still standing in that spot. Though I don't think it's ever going to be at the top spot. It might drop sometime soon.

1. Ashe/Niall Horan - Moral Of The Story: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm pleased to see this song still in there. Although I do prefer a different song to be at the top spot, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Ananya - Let There Be Love*

2. Claire Rosinkranz - Backyard Boy (DEBUT)

3. Saweetie - Tap In

4. Blu DeTiger - Figure It Out

5. Harry Styles - Falling

6. Juice WRLD - Wishing Well

7. Niall Horan - Black And White

8. Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky (RE-ENTRY)

9. BTS - Dynamite

10. Zara Larsson - WOW (DEBUT)

11. Avenue Beat - F2020

12. Curtis Waters/Harm Franklin - Stunnin'

13. Dixie D'Amelio - Be Happy

14. Blackbear - Queen Of Broken Hearts

15. Jxdn - Angels And Demons

16. Surf Mesa/Emilee - ILY

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Claire Rosinkranz - Backyard Boy: I've heard this song before on Alt Nation. It's definitely an amazing song. I really love the production here, Claire's vocals are super amazing, the lyrics here are very interesting, and I really enjoyed the chorus. So yeah, it's such a fun song. I'm sure hoping that this should be on the countdown soon and if it does, I'm sure hoping it should do better than the Alt-18. Let's see if it'll be in there soon.

Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky: It re-entered Hit Bound this week. I really have no idea why it decided to do that. This deserves to be on the countdown, not here. But hopefully it'll be back on the countdown soon.

Zara Larsson - WOW: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Now, what I found interesting about the song is that it was actually released before All The Time was. That was actually a little late for this song to be on there. But this is also an amazing song. The production sounded amazing, Zara's vocals were so phenomenal, and the chorus is absolutely amazing. Now, let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.
