So we are now in the month of March. And it's almost time for March Madness to start. I'm really looking forward to see who wins it all this year after it got cancelled last year.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Post Malone - Circles (7th and final week at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm fine with The Kid Laroi - Without You (+13) taking the biggest jump this week. I'm actually still giving credit to this song. But still, what a week for him.

Since that happened, The Kid Laroi - So Done (-8) has managed to take the biggest drop this week. But again, it's always nice to see new singles from the same artist other than old stuff.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

LOONA - Star: The best debut this week. Since Dynamite is on it's way out of here, we finally have another K-Pop group making their debut on there. As far as this song goes, it's absolutely an amazing song. For my opinion, the production is absolutely amazing, the vocals were very phenomenal, the lyrics are definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and that chorus was definitely what I fell in love with. So yeah, overall it's such an amazing K-Pop song for me. Let's see how far this gets on there.

Dua Lipa - We're Good: Since Levitating is currently doing so well on there (although I know it's about to start dropping), this song has now made it's debut on there. Now, this is absolutely another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Levitating, but it's still amazing. I've gone through this song a couple weeks ago back when it debuted the countdown. The production here was absolutely amazing, Dua's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and that chorus was super amazing. Hopefully this should become a big hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Justin Bieber/Benny Blanco - Lonely: I didn't actually expect this song to leave the Top 3 this week. But now, there it goes. But I'm sure this will probably be staying in the Top 5 for a little bit longer or so.

4. Olivia Rodrigo - Driver's License: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I actually thought that it was going to be in there somehow. But I'm sure this is going to make the Top 3 next week. Hopefully I'm right.

3. Chris Brown/Young Thug - Go Crazy: I'm fine with this song in the Top 3. But however, if it goes to the top spot, I'll still give credit to it. I don't think he's ever had a #1 song on there. Although I'm not sure if it's actually going to be at the top spot, but we're gonna have to see.

2. Ariana Grande - Positions: I'm super pleased to see this song coming back up, but I don't think it's ever going to come back to the top spot though. But I'm sure this is going to hang around in the Top 3 for a little while longer.

1. Ariana Grande - 34 + 35: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased to see this song still at that spot. Gosh, she's really been having lots and lots of #1 songs on this countdown. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
