This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Maneskin - Beggin (+9) into the Top 30 and for gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts. What a week for them! Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Tate McRae/Khalid - Working (-17) taking a massive big drop this week as it dropped all the way out of the Top 30 from the Top 20. But I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Twenty One Pilots - Saturday: The best debut this week. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and this is definitely their best song ever. It's definitely a step up from their other songs. For my opinion, the production was so heavenly, Tyler's vocals were super heavenly, those lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of and they're absolutely heavenly, and that chorus was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 5 Songs of the year. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

Lizzo/Cardi B. - Rumors: Gosh, I was actually waiting for the big return from her. And now, she's finally back. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an outstanding song. But definitely not as good as Good As Hell, but it's still outstanding. For my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Lizzo's vocals were super outstanding, those lyrics were so remarkable, and that chorus was so amazing. But Cardi B.'s rapping in her verse sounded so bad. That was my main issue about this song because it's her. But this is an outstanding song overall. Hopefully this should be a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: Can we please let this song move up and be in the Top 3? I'm sure hoping it should move up within the next week or so.

4. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits: Same thing for this song. But I'm sure that next week this should definitely be in the Top 3. Hopefully I'm right.

3. Doja Cat/SZA - Kiss Me More: Gosh, this song has really been enjoying it's stay in the Top 3. But I'm sure that pretty soon it'll definitely be out of here.

2. Olivia Rodrigo - Deja Vu: Yeah, I'm sure this song is going to stand at this spot for a few more weeks longer because of what was happening. But again maybe it'll be at the top spot, but we don't know yet for sure.

1. Olivia Rodrigo - Good 4 U: Holding the top spot for the 6th week in a row. Gosh, what has this song been doing on there? This seriously has been doing super phenomenal on there. Though maybe she might replace herself at the top spot, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
