#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Jack Harlow - First Class (+15) taking the biggest jump. This really has been gaining lots and lots of airplay on the pop radio charts this past week. Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Adele - Easy On Me and Lauren Spencer-Smith - Fingers Crossed (-5) taking the biggest drop, but I'm sure that this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Ed Sheeran/Lil Baby - 2step: I'm actually surprised that Overpass Graffiti didn't make it on there, which was sad because that was going to be in my Top 10 Songs of the year. But now, we have this song. And of course this song was definitely not as good as Overpass Graffiti, but it's still an amazing song. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing and fun, Ed's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus is what I really enjoyed and Lil Baby's rapping in his verse was so amazing. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

The Kid Laroi - Thousand Miles: This is just a decent song. There isn't really anything interesting to say about it. But I do know that this is actually a little bit of a step up from Without You, but it's still decent. With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing here, but again Laroi's vocals don't actually sound that good. But the lyrics were still super nicely-written and I think the chorus was decent. So yeah, decent song overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Post Malone/The Weeknd - One Right Now: I'm fine with this song coming back to the Top 5. I'll still give credit to that. But I don't think this song is ever going to come to the Top 3, but maybe it might hang around in the Top 5 for a little bit longer at the very least.

4. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: I'm sure that within the next week or so it should start dropping and be out of here. I do know it has been in the Top 5 for a while.

3. Doja Cat - Woman: I feel like this song might start dropping whenever it feels like it. But again this song has also been around in the Top 5 for a while so I'm sure this is probably gonna start dropping soon.

2. Latto - Big Energy: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice run in there. And I'm sure this is going to hang around in the Top 3 for a little bit longer.

1. Imagine Dragons - Enemy: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. This is now their grand return to the top spot on there, which was actually so amazing. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
