This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Glass Animals - Heat Waves (+9) taking the biggest jump back to the Top 10 this week. This really deserves it! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 5 next week.

I'm not too thrilled that Maroon 5/Megan Thee Stallion - Beautiful Mistakes and Machine Gun Kelly/Halsey - Forget Me Too (-9) both managed to tie for the biggest drop this week. And plus, both of those songs were in my Top 10 Songs of the year. But I do have a feeling that this might be the end of them.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Calvin Harris/Tom Grennan - By Your Side: This is absolutely an outstanding EDM song. And this was actually Tom's first time on the countdown, although Little Bit Of Love hasn't debuted on there yet. As for my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Tom's vocals were super outstanding, those lyrics were very nicely-written, the chorus was super outstanding, and that drop was so amazing. Although I do have a feeling that this song might leave here and then debut on Hit Bound very soon. But let's see how far this should get on there.

Tai Verdes - A-O-K: The best countdown debut this week. And he has finally made his first appearance on here. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. It's absolutely an amazing song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Tai's vocals were super amazing, those lyrics were super interesting, and that chorus was absolutely phenomenal. I'm really hoping that this should do better on here than on the Alt-18. Let's see how far this one gets.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ariana Grande - POV: I thought this song has a chance to be in the Top 3 this week! I actually didn't want this song to drop, but I don't think it's ever going to be in the Top 3 on there, but we're gonna have to see.

4. Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More: I'm pleased that this song is moving up. Now, I'm really hoping that this song should be in the Top 3 next week.

3. Olivia Rodrigo - Deja Vu: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3, but I have a feeling that this might leave the Top 3 very soon. Though it might hang around in the Top 5 for a little while longer.

2. Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name) Again I'm fine with this song still in this spot. Although I'm not sure if it's going to be at the top spot because of what was happening.

1. Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there. But yeah, I'm sure this is going to hang in there for a little while longer. But let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Blackbear/Tate McRae - U Love U (DEBUT)

2. DJ Khaled/Post Malone/Megan Thee Stallion/Lil Baby/DaBaby - I Did It

3. Billie Eilish - Lost Cause

4. Tom Grennan - Little Bit Of Love

5. Giveon - Heartbreak Anniversary

6. Dixie D'Amelio - Fuckboy

7. Annita/DaBaby - Girl From Rio

8. ILLENIUM/Iann Dior - First Time

9. Claire Rosinkranz - Frankenstein

10. Nessa Barrett/Jxdn - La Di Die (RE-ENTRY)

11. Tesher/Jason Derulo - Jalebi Baby

12. Nelly/Florida Georgia Line - Lil Bit

13. Mimi Webb - Good Without

14. Lil Nas X - Sun Goes Down

15. Coldplay - Higher Power

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Blackbear/Tate McRae - U Love U: Yes, this is not a rock song. But this is another decent song though. But there's still nothing interesting to say about this one. Though the production was actually outstanding, but I'm not really huge on Blackbear's vocals in the verses, though Tate McRae does sound amazing here and I think the chorus was just decent. But yeah, this is a decent song for me overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Nessa Barrett/Jxdn - La Di Die: I'm fine with this song re-entering on there. Although this might come back to the countdown sometime soon. But if it does, I'll still give credit to it. Let's see if it'll be back on the countdown soon.
