This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Riton & Nightcrawlers/Mufasa/Hypeman - Friday and Annita - Girl From Rio (+4) were both tied for the biggest jump and they have both entered the Top 30. I'm so pleased to see them do it.

I figured somehow Dua Lipa - We're Good (-8) is going to have the biggest drop this week. Though I do have a feeling that this song is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Coldplay - Higher Power: The best debut this week. They have finally made their big return on there. Now, the last time we heard from them was Something Just Like This with The Chainsmokers back in 2017, and that was one of my top songs of that year from which you've remembered back then. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. The production was so amazing, Chris's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and that chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully it'll become a hit on there.

Bella Poarch - Build A Bitch: We have yet another TikTok star making her debut on there, which was very interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. The production was super outstanding, Bella's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was absolutely amazing. Though I'm not sure if this is actually going to become a hit on there because she is a TikTok star, but I'm really hoping that it should.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see this song in there. Now, I'm really hoping that this should be in the Top 3 soon.

4. Lil Nas X - Montero (Call Me By Your Name): It also debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm okay with this song being in there, but I'll still give credit to this song if it hits the top spot. Let's see if it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

3. Ariana Grande - POV: I knew this song would make the Top 3 this week. And I do have a feeling that this song is going to hit the top spot very soon. Let's see if I'm right.

2. Justin Bieber/Daniel Caesar/Giveon - Peaches: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had an amazing run in there. And I'm sure this is probably gonna hang around in the Top 3 for a little while longer.

1. Dua Lipa/DaBaby - Levitating: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. What an amazing comeback for this song! And this might actually stay in there for a little bit longer. Let's see how long it could hold the spot.
