AT40: Olivia Rodrigo (5) Week Of April 17, 2021

The countdown actually looks so interesting this week, although we did get rid of my #1 song of last year, which of course it will forever be missed. But other than that, we do have some more great debuts this week which I'm definitely going to get to later. But other than that, I don't have anything else to say here, so let's get to it!

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super glad about Masked Wolf - Astronaut In The Ocean (+6) managing to take the biggest jump this week. Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about that massive biggest drop from Taylor Swift - Willow (-20) this week. This does not deserve to have that, but I'm sure this is definitely going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Ariana Grande - POV: This song is now joining Positions and 34 + 35 on there. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely amazing. But not as good as 34 + 35, but it's still amazing. Now, I've gone through my opinion on this song a couple weeks ago when it debuted the countdown. The production was absolutely amazing, Ariana's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus is definitely what I stand for. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Justin Bieber/Daniel Caesar/Giveon - Peaches: The best debut this week. This is also another amazing song and it's definitely a step up from Anyone. The production here was absolutely amazing, Justin's vocals were super amazing, Daniel's vocals were super outstanding in his contribution, the chorus was so amazing, and Giveon's vocals in his verse were super amazing. I'm sure this is definitely going to be a hit on there. Hopefully it'll happen.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ariana Grande - Positions: Wow, how is this song still in there? But I'm sure this is definitely going to be out of here next week because we have a new single from her.

4. Tate McRae - You Broke Me First: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so glad to see it in there. This is now her first Top 5 song on there. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

3. Ritt Momney - Put Your Records On: How is it still in the Top 3?! Again, we don't want this song in there. This seriously needs to leave here. Hopefully next week it'll be out of here.

2. Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am: Huh, I actually thought that it was going to be in the top spot. But again, I'm okay with this song still at that spot. But I'm sure this might be in there next week. And if it does, I'm still giving credit to it.

1. Olivia Rodrigo - Driver's License: Holding the top spot for the 5th week in a row. Gosh, how is her career starting to go strong? Although another song might hit the top spot next week, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
