This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Neiked/Mae Muller/Polo G - Better Days (+10) take the biggest jump. This deserves it! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

I didn't actually expect The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay (-16) to take the biggest drop. But I do know it's still going viral on TikTok, so this still would've been in the Top 10 this week.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Tai Verdes - Let's Go To Hell: This song has now joined A-O-K on there as it has been doing so well. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as A-O-K, but it's still phenomenal. For my opinion, the production was super amazing, Tai's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Oliver Tree - Life Goes On: The best countdown debut this week. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. And I've actually known him since 2019 back when he was a Critical Cut with his song Hurt, and I've been enjoying this song back then. As for this new song, it's also phenomenal and this is definitely a step up from Hurt. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Oliver's vocals were so phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how far this one should go.

Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever: I'm fine with this song re-entering the countdown. I actually didn't expect it to come back here, but it did. Let's see how this one does in it's second run.

Post Malone/The Weeknd - One Right Now: Although I know you guys thought I was going to hate this song because it's from an artist that I really hate, but this song is actually not bad. It's just a decent song. With my opinion on this one, the production here actually sounded so amazing, though Post's vocals were awful here. But Abel's vocals were so phenomenal in his contribution and I think the chorus was decent. But yeah, this is a decent song for me. Let's see how this one does on there.

Silk Sonic - Smokin Out The Window: This is such an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Skate, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production here was super outstanding, Bruno's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus was super amazing, and Anderson .Paak's vocals were also so amazing in his verse. But yeah, this is an amazing song overall for me to listen to. Let's see how far this one should get on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Twenty One Pilots - Saturday: I'm super pleased to see this song back in the Top 5. This really deserves it. Now, I'm hoping it should be back in the Top 3 soon.

4. Lil Nas X/Jack Harlow - Industry Baby: Well, it got out of the Top 3. Though I'm sure this is probably gonna leave the Top 5 very soon.

3. Adele - Easy On Me: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and be at the top spot. But again I'm not sure if it's going to happen because of what's going on at the top spot.

2. Elton John/Dua Lipa/Pnau - Cold Heart: I'm super pleased that this song is finally moving back up. But again I don't think it's actually going to hit the top spot, but we're gonna have to see.

1. Ed Sheeran - Shivers: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. I'm so pleased that it still at that spot. And I'm sure this is probably gonna hang around in there for a little bit longer because it's him. Let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Avril Lavigne - Bite Me: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. It's actually been a couple years since we last heard from her. And now I'm so pleased that she made her return. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is definitely a step up from Dumb Blonde. As for my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Avril's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so marvelous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Taylor Swift/Ed Sheeran - Run: So she re-released her 2012 album Red last week but it's the new version of it. Now, the last time those two collaborated was End Game back in late 2017, and you guys remembered I enjoyed it back then. And now, they're collaborating again with this new song along with the new version of Everything Has Changed. As for this song, it's definitely amazing. But definitely not as good as End Game, but it's still amazing. For my opinion, the production was so amazing, their vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so interesting, and that chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Twenty One Pilots - The Outside: Since Saturday is doing so well on the countdown, we have now picked up this song. As far as the song goes, this is also another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Saturday, but it's still amazing. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Tyler's vocals were super amazing, those lyrics were remarkable, and the chorus was so phenomenal. But yeah, this is such a fun song for me to listen to. I'm sure this is going to debut the countdown sometime soon. Hopefully it'll happen.

JP Saxe - Soft Landing: This is such an outstanding song and this is actually a step up from If The World Was Ending. With my opinion on this one, the production here was so outstanding, JP Saxe's vocals were super outstanding, the lyrics were so awesome and very nicely-written, and the chorus was so amazing. But yeah, outstanding song overall for me to listen to. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Benson Boone - Ghost Town: This is absolutely another amazing song. But this is definitely not as good as Adam Lambert's song from 2015 with the same title, but it's still amazing. It also sounds like a Lewis Capaldi song, which was actually very interesting. As for my opinion, the production was super outstanding, Benson's vocals were so amazing, those lyrics were super interesting, and that chorus was super amazing. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Tate McRae - Feel Like Shit: This is absolutely another amazing song and this is actually a step up from Working. For my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, Tate's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were actually so remarkable, and the chorus was so phenomenal. But yeah, this is such an amazing song overall to listen to. Although I'm not sure if this should be on the countdown though, but we're gonna have to see. Let's see if it does.

Lisa - Money: It is so nice to see this song coming back on there. Now, let's see if this should have another chance to be on the countdown.
