This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Imagine Dragons - Enemy (+12) has been gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts this week and that managed to take the biggest jump. I was so pleased to see that.

Neiked/Mae Muller/Polo G - Better Days (-15) took the biggest drop all the way out of the Top 20 to the Bottom 10. Though I do know it has been on there for a while so I'm sure this is out of here within the next week or so.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Encanto Cast - We Don't Talk About Bruno: This was actually from the new Disney movie Encanto, which I've actually never seen in theaters. But I'm gonna have to see it sometime soon. But this is such a fun song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, all of their vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super fun, especially in the last chorus. Let's see how this one does on there.

Tate McRae - She's All I Wanna Be: The best debut this week. This is absolutely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Feel Like Shit. As for my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Tate's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and I definitely stand for the chorus. But yeah, this is such an amazing song overall for me to listen to. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doja Cat - Need To Know: I feel like this song must've been enjoying the Top 5 as I thought that it should leave here this week. But I do know it has been in there for a while so this should be out of here sometime soon.

4. Glass Animals - Heat Waves: I'm sure this song might remain in the Top 5 for a couple more weeks longer and start dropping and be on it's way out of here. Let's see how long it will remain in there.

3. Justin Bieber - Ghost: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice run in there. But I'm sure this is going to start dropping and be out of here very soon.

2. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: Wow, I did not expect this song to move back up. But again I'm okay with that happening. And I'm sure this should remain in the Top 3 for a couple more weeks longer. But let's see what happens.

1. Gayle - ABCDEFU: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. This is now her first ever #1 song on there which was amazing. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
