This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so glad to see Sam Smith - Love Me More (+11) take the biggest jump this week and see it gain more airplay on the pop radio charts. What a week for him! Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 20 very soon.

For the second week in a row, Lauren Spencer-Smith - Fingers Crossed (-15) had the biggest drop this week. And of course I'm not too thrilled to see it, but again it has been losing airplay so I'm sure it's going to be out of here within the next week or so.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Ava Max - Maybe You're The Problem: The best debut this week. We now have this song on there after The Motto started to lose some airplay. As for this new song, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as The Motto, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Ava's vocals were pretty heavenly, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should do well on there.

Lady Gaga - Hold My Hand: This song was actually taken from the new Top Gun: Maverick movie, which I've actually seen in theaters. It sure was a fun movie. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. The production was super amazing, Gaga's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Though I'm not sure if this is going to do amazing on there, but I'm sure hoping it does.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: I actually thought that it was going to leave the Top 5 this week, but I'm still fine with this song still being in there. But I'm sure it's definitely gonna leave here next week.

4. Doja Cat - Woman: Yeah I feel like this song is going to be leaving the Top 5 very soon. But again it still had an amazing time on there.

3. Latto - Big Energy: Well, it's dropping. But maybe for a couple more weeks I'd like it to stay in the Top 3 and let this song to start being on it's way out of here.

2. Imagine Dragons - Enemy: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice run in there for a couple weeks. And again I'm sure this is going to hang around in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer.

1. Harry Styles - As It Was: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. And I actually knew that it's going to end up being at the top spot mostly because it's him. He sure has been having a lot of #1 songs on there. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
