This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Encanto Cast - We Don't Talk About Bruno (+6) has now made it to the Top 30. I actually expected it to happen because I know this was the biggest song in the world. And now hopefully it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

Chloe - Have Mercy (-11) for some reason has started to lose lots of airplay on the pop radio charts. I really am not too thrilled to see it take the biggest drop, but I do have a feeling that it's going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Avril Lavigne/Blackbear - Love It When You Hate Me: The best debut this week. This is absolutely a heavenly song and it's definitely a step up from Bite Me. With my opinion, the production was super phenomenal, Avril's vocals were so heavenly, the lyrics were super duper nicely-written, the chorus was super heavenly, and Blackbear's vocals in his verse were absolutely phenomenal. This is going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

Fireboy DML/Ed Sheeran - Peru: We now have an artist from Nigeria making his debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely phenomenal. As for my opinion, the production was super amazing, Fireboy DML's vocals were so phenomenal and they shine throughout the song, Ed's vocals were also so phenomenal in his contribution, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super fun. Let's see how far this one should get.

Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie: This is also another phenomenal and fun song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Megan's rapping in the verses was super phenomenal and she really flows very nicely here, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and Dua's vocals in the chorus were so heavenly. So yeah, overall it's a fun song for me to listen to. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Justin Bieber - Ghost: Yeah I'm sure this song is going to be leaving the Top 5 very soon. But I'm sure that within the next week or so it will be out of here.

4. Doja Cat - Woman: I'm so pleased to see this song move up. And I'm sure that it's going to be in the Top 3 very soon and probably go to the top spot. Hopefully it'll happen.

3. Glass Animals - Heat Waves: I have a feeling that this song might leave the Top 3 again very soon and start dropping and be out of here. But it really did had an amazing time in there.

2. Gayle - ABCDEFU: It dropped out of the top spot. But it really did had a nice run in there. And I'm sure this song might stay in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer at the very least. Let's see what happens then.

1. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: I'm fine with this song coming back to the top spot. I'm definitely still giving credit to that. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.
