So we are now officially in the month of December and now we are ready to get to the holiday spirit. And my birthday is coming up next Saturday. I'm going to be turning 19.

#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Swedish House Mafia/The Weeknd - Moth To A Flame, Post Malone/The Weeknd - One Right Now and Neiked/Mae Muller/Polo G - Better Days (+11) were all tied for the biggest jump this week. Though I'm okay with one of them, but the rest I'm super pleased to see.

The Weeknd - Take My Breath (-16) took a huge big drop this week as it dropped all the way out of the Top 30 from the Top 20. Though I was actually expecting that to happen. And I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Chloe - Have Mercy: This is the only debut we have this week. And I actually didn't know she was doing solo singles now. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. As for my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Chloe's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. Also, I'm hoping that Halle can do solo singles too! But this is definitely a phenomenal song overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

Glass Animals - Heat Waves: Wow, I actually didn't expect this song to come back in there. But I'm super pleased that it managed to re-enter there! And again this song is going to be in my Top 10 Songs of the year in case you remember. And it's almost the end of the year, so you will see how high it will rank in my Top 10 Songs of the year post coming very soon. But yeah, it is super amazing to see this song come back there, and I'm sure this is going to become a hit on there. Let's see how this one does on it's second run.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Maneskin - Beggin: I was actually expecting this song to drop. And I'm sure that next week it'll definitely be out of here.

4. Doja Cat - Need To Know: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm super glad to see this song in there. And I'm sure this song is going to be in the Top 3 next week. Hopefully I'm right.

3. Adele - Easy On Me: It also debuted the Top 5 and into the Top 3 this week. I'm so pleased that it's in there. And I'm sure this song is going to end up being at the top spot very soon. Hopefully it'll happen.

2. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: It dropped out of the top spot. But it really had a phenomenal run in there. And I'm sure this song is going to hold this spot for a little while longer.

1. Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow - Industry Baby: I'm fine with this song at the top spot. I'm definitely still giving credit to that, because it's a decent song. But I'm sure another song might go for the top spot, but let's see how long it could hold the spot.
