This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm fine with Pop Smoke - What You Know Bout Love (+6) taking the biggest jump into the Top 20 this week. I'm still giving credit to this song for doing it.

I'm not too thrilled about Jason Derulo - Take You Dancing (-7) being out of the Top 20 by taking the biggest drop this week. But I feel like it's going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Jason Derulo/Adam Levine - Lifestyle: This was absolutely an amazing song. Since Take You Dancing is officially on it's way out, this song has now made it's debut on there. Now, this is definitely a step up from Take You Dancing. The production is so outstanding, Jason's vocals were super amazing, Adam's vocals were also super amazing in his contribution, and that chorus is what I fell in love with. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

The Kid Laroi - Without You: This is definitely another decent song. Though not as decent as So Done, but it's still decent. There's really nothing interesting to say about this song. The production here actually sounded great, but again I'm not really huge on this guy's vocals. But those lyrics are actually fine and the chorus sounded decent. So yeah, decent song overall. Let's see how far this one gets.

Ava Max - My Head And My Heart: The best debut this week. And this song actually sounds exactly like ATC - Around The World in terms of the melodies from this song, which I actually found so interesting. As far as the song goes, it is definitely another pretty heavenly song. Not as good as Kings & Queens, but it's still pretty heavenly. The production was pretty heavenly, Ava's vocals were pretty heavenly, the lyrics were pretty heavenly, the chorus was pretty heavenly, everything here was pretty heavenly. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Justin Bieber/Chance The Rapper - Holy: That's fine! We'll let this song drop. I'll still give credit to that. But I do prefer Lonely over this.

4. 24kgoldn/Iann Dior - Mood: Wow, I actually didn't think it was going to leave the Top 3 this week. But I'm okay with that. Though it might stay in there for a while.

3. Ariana Grande - Positions: It dropped out of the top spot. But it really did had a super amazing run in there. And now we have a new song from her that has a chance to go for the top spot, which was always nice to see.

2. Ariana Grande - 34 + 35: It's almost at the top spot! Now, I'm sure this should be in the top spot within the next week or so. Let's see if I'm right.

1. Justin Bieber/Benny Blanco - Lonely: I'm so glad to see this song in there. And again, I'll take this song over Holy, because it's a much better song for him. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

Black Eyed Peas/Shakira - Girl Like Me
