AT40: Ariana Grande (1) Week Of February 27, 2021

The countdown looks super amazing and interesting this week. We do have another brand new amazing #1 song on here this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Jason Derulo/Adam Levine - Lifestyle (+10) taking the biggest jump into the Top 30 this week. What a week for them! Now, hopefully it'll keep moving up and get to the Top 20 very soon.

Sam Smith - Diamonds (-9) is about to lose some airplay on the pop radio charts. I'm actually not too thrilled to see it take the biggest drop this week, but it's going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Black Eyed Peas/Shakira - Girl Like Me: This is absolutely a much better song for them. It's definitely way better than RITMO (Bad Boys For Life) and Mamacita. As far as this song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. The production here sounded absolutely outstanding, their vocals were super amazing, the lyrics are very nicely-written, and that chorus is what I really enjoyed. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. 24kgoldn/Iann Dior - Mood: Well, I actually didn't expect this song to be dropping. And now it's officially on it's way out of the Top 5. I actually thought that it was going to stay in there for a little while longer.

4. Chris Brown/Young Thug - Go Crazy: After spending numerous weeks at #6, this song has now finally made it's debut in the Top 5. Though I'm actually fine with that. I'll still give credit to it. Though I don't know if it's actually going to be in the Top 3, but we're gonna have to see.

3. Ariana Grande - Positions: I'm pleased that it's still in the Top 3. Though I do have a feeling that this song might drop out of here sometime soon. But hopefully it'll stay in there for a little bit longer.

2. Justin Bieber/Benny Blanco - Lonely: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice time in there last week. But I'm not sure if it's actually going to be back at the top spot. Maybe it might stay in the Top 5 for a little while longer.

1. Ariana Grande - 34 + 35: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot! After one week off of having her at the top spot, we finally have another song from her being at that spot. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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