This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased that Doja Cat - Woman (+5) managed to take the biggest jump this week since it has started to gain lots of airplay on the pop radio charts. What a week for her! Now, let's see if it'll keep moving up and get to the Top 20 soon.

Although I'm not that thrilled to see Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits (-5) take the biggest drop, but I do know it has been around for a while so I have a feeling that it's gonna be on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Charli XCX - Good Ones: The best debut this week. She has finally made her return on there since 1999 with Troye Sivan from 3 years ago. And now, for this new song, it's absolutely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Charli's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was so heavenly. But yeah, phenomenal song overall. I'm really hoping that it should do amazing on there.

The Weeknd - Sacrifice: So they have released a new album a few weeks ago and of course this was one of the songs on there. As for as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But not as good as Bebe Rexha's song with the same title from last year which was a Hit Bound dropout, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Abel's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super amazing. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Latto - Big Energy: This is absolutely another amazing song. For my opinion, the production here was so amazing and it actually reminds me of Say So because it sounds similar to it, but this is a much better song because Say So was actually decent. But other than that, Latto's vocals were super amazing especially her flow here, and the lyrics were super nicely-written and the chorus is what I really enjoyed. So yeah, overall it's such a fun song 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. Doja Cat - Need To Know: Yeah, I'm sure this song is going to keep dropping and be on it's way out of here. And I'm sure this is going to leave the Top 5 next week. Hopefully I'm right.

4. Ed Sheeran - Shivers: Finally. This song is moving up. Now this needs to get in the Top 3 and get to the top spot on there because I know it broke the record for most weeks at the top spot last week on the Hits 1 Weekend Countdown. Hopefully it'll be at the top spot on there as well.

3. The Kid Laroi/Justin Bieber - Stay: Yeah, I'm sure this song is going to hold there for a few more weeks longer. But let's see how long it could maintain at this spot.

2. Glass Animals - Heat Waves: Yeah, I don't think this song is ever going to be at the top spot. Maybe it might just hold there for a couple more weeks longer and then start dropping. But let's see what happens to this song.

1. Adele - Easy On Me: Holding the top spot for the 8th week in a row. I feel like this song has been holding at this spot for a while mainly because it's the return of her and she was a very popular artist. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
