This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super duper pleased about All Time Low/Blackbear - Monsters (+11) in the Top 20. Now, I'm sure hoping that it'll be in the Top 10 very soon.

I'm actually not surprised about Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar (-6) having the biggest drop this week. Though it is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Sam Smith - Diamonds: This is definitely an outstanding song and it's definitely a step up from To Die For. Now, on to my opinion. The production sounded so outstanding, Sam's vocals are super amazing, the lyrics are so nicely-written, and I really enjoyed the chorus. And since it debuted straight onto the countdown, it might leave here very soon and then debut on Hit Bound. But let's see how this one does on there.

Justin Bieber/Chance The Rapper - Holy: This is also another decent song, though it's actually a little bit of a step up from Intentions, but still not that great. Now, on to the song. I'm not really huge on the production here, but Justin's vocals sounded outstanding and I think Chance The Rapper's verse sounded fine. And I'm still giving credit to that chorus. But yeah, it's decent overall. Let's see how far this one goes.

Marshmello/Demi Lovato - OK Not To Be OK: The best countdown debut this week. It's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Be Kind, but it's still phenomenal. Now, for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Demi's vocals were absolutely phenomenal, I really love those lyrics, the chorus was pretty phenomenal, and the drop is what I fell in love with. Here's to hoping that it should do phenomenal on there.

JP Saxe/Julia Michaels - If The World Was Ending: Since it's doing so well on the AT40, this song has re-entered the countdown this week. I actually didn't expect that to happen, but I'm glad to see it back on there. Now, let's see how this one does in it's second run.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Lewis Capaldi - Before You Go: It re-entered the Top 5 this week since it's now doing so well on the pop radio charts. Though I don't think it's ever going to be back at the top spot, but let's see how long it will stay in there.

4. Ava Max - Kings & Queens: No! I don't want this song to be out of the Top 3! I thought it's going to have a chance at the top spot. But I'm sure hoping that it'll be back in the Top 3 next week.

3. AJR - Bang!: I'm pleased to see this song still in the Top 3, but I'm not really sure if it's ever going to be at the top spot, but we're gonna have to see.

2. Juice WRLD/Marshmello - Come And Go: It's almost at the top spot. Now, can this be his first #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out very soon.

1. Ashe/Niall Horan - Moral Of The Story: Holding the top spot for the 6th week in a row. Gosh, what is going on with this song? It really has been doing super amazing on there. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Ashe - Save Myself

2. Saweetie - Tap In

3. Salem Ilese - Mad At Disney (DEBUT)

4. Machine Gun Kelly/Blackbear - My Ex's Best Friend

12. BTS - Dynamite

13. Blu DeTiger - Figure It Out

14. Claire Rosinkranz - Backyard Boy

15. Juice WRLD - Wishing Well

16. Zoe Wees - Control (RE-ENTRY)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Salem Ilese - Mad At Disney: This is another song that actually came from TikTok, which I found interesting. Though when I first saw the title, I was like "wait... why is it even called that?" because that's what the song is actually about. But this is actually an amazing song. The production sounded so amazing, Salem's vocals are so marvelous, and I really loved that chorus. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Tate McRae - You Broke Me First: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And this is actually another TikTok song. Now all of our Hit Bound entrants this week are all TikTok songs. That's very interesting. Now, as for this song, it's also an amazing song. The production here is absolutely amazing, Tate's vocals sounded super amazing, and the chorus is so phenomenal. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Zoe Wees - Control: I think I'm about to lose my mind. But WHY DO WE HAVE TO GET THIS SONG BACK ON THERE?????!!!!! This does not deserve to be back on there at all!!! I'm sure hoping this shouldn't be back on the countdown.
