#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Harry Styles - Watermelon Sugar (7 of 8 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Maneskin - Beggin (+5) had the biggest jump and it made it to the Top 20. I'm super glad to see it in there. Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about BTS - Butter (-11) taking the biggest drop and it has dropped out of the Top 30 too. And I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

WizKid/Tems - Essence: Does anybody remember him from Drake's song One Dance? He and Kyla were both collaborated on this song, and that was a hit back in 2016, and that was a song that I enjoyed back then. And now, here he is back on there. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely an outstanding song. And this version is actually on the same level as the Justin Bieber remix. As for my opinion, the production was so outstanding, all of their vocals were remarkable, the lyrics were so nice, and that chorus was so amazing. Let's see how far this one should get.

Halsey - I Am Not A Woman, I'm A God: The best debut this week. As for this new song, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is definitely a step up from Lilith. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Halsey's vocals were super phenomenal, those lyrics were absolutely phenomenal, and that chorus was so heavenly. So yeah, overall it's such a phenomenal song. I know she has been such a talented singer to me. Hopefully this should do phenomenal on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More: I actually thought that it was going to leave the Top 5 this week, but I'm still pleased that it's still in there. But next week it'll definitely be out of here.

4. Olivia Rodrigo - Deja Vu: I knew that it was going to be out of the Top 3 this week. And I'm sure it's going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

3. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: I'm so pleased that this song has managed to be in the Top 3 this week. Now, hopefully this song should hit the top spot very soon.

2. Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U: Yeah, I'm sure this song is going to hang around in the Top 3 for a little while longer. Let's see how long it could stay in there.

1. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm super glad that it's still in there. This really has been doing so amazing on the pop radio charts lately. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
