AT40: The Weeknd (2) Week Of May 22, 2021

The countdown actually still looks good, although we did get rid of a song that was going to be in my Top 10 Songs of this year and a song that was in my Top 10 Songs of last year, and of course they will forever be missed. But other than that, everything else looks pretty good! So for now, let's get to it! Before we get to this week's Fresh 40, here are the songs dropping out of the countdown this week.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm okay with Kali Uchis - Telepatia (+8) taking the biggest jump into the Top 30. I'll definitely still give credit to that. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am and Tate McRae - You Broke Me First (-5) were both tied for the biggest drop this week. I'm actually okay with the first one, but I'm actually not that happy for the other one. But I feel like this might be the end of them.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Giveon - Heartbreak Anniversary: This was actually the first single off of him. I know he has like 20 seconds of his vocals on Peaches, and I actually really love his voice on it. And now, here he is with the start of his career of making his own music. As far as the song goes, it's definitely amazing. With my opinion, the production is so outstanding, Giveon's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were so interesting, and I fell in love with that chorus. Hopefully it'll become a big hit on there.

Billie Eilish - Your Power: This is definitely another decent song. Wow, she really has been making some decent songs lately. Mainly it's because of her voice, that was my issue. Anyway, there's pretty much nothing here that's interesting to say about this one. Though the production here sounded solid, but I'm still not really huge on Billie's vocals. I don't really like when she sings in her deep and raspy tone just like in her other songs. But the lyrics are what I don't mind here and I think the chorus was decent. But yeah, it's a decent song for me overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Olivia Rodrigo - Driver's License: I actually didn't think that it was actually going to drop, but I do have a feeling that this might be out of here sometime soon.

4. The Kid Laroi - Without You: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm actually okay with that, because it's a decent song. But if this song goes to the Top 3 very soon, I'll still give credit to it.

3. Machine Gun Kelly/Blackbear - My Ex's Best Friend: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. Now, he does have a #1 song on here. Can this song do the same? We're going to have to find out.

2. Justin Bieber/Daniel Caesar/Giveon - Peaches: It's almost at the top spot. I'm sure this is going to be at the top spot within the next week or so. Hopefully I'm right.

1. The Weeknd - Save Your Tears: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there. But I'm sure another song might take over this spot, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
