This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased that Camila Cabello/Ed Sheeran - Bam Bam (+8) managed to take the biggest jump and go into the Top 20 this week. What a week for them! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 10 soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see The Weeknd - Sacrifice (-10) taking the biggest drop this week. But I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Tyga/Doja Cat - Freaky Deaky: I know I've actually been hating his music since he was a terrible rapper, but this song is actually not bad. It's such an amazing song. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Tyga's rapping was so much better than in his other songs and he flows very nicely in the verses, Doja's vocals were so phenomenal in her contribution, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super fun. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

Kygo/DNCE - Dancing Feet: Joe and his band have reunited again and they are now back on there this week. I know I've been enjoying Cake By The Ocean back when it was a hit in 2016, I'm neutral on Toothbrush since it was a decent song for me, and I love Body Moves because it is a fun song. And now we have this song, which was definitely an amazing and fun song to dance to. For my opinion on this one, the production was super fun, Joe's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were very interesting, the chorus was so phenomenal, and the drop was definitely what I stand for. So yeah, this is such an amazing EDM song overall. Hopefully this will do amazing on there.

Em Beihold - Numb Little Bug: The best debut this week. I actually expected this song to make it's debut on there and it did. And after I gave it a first listen, I've found her yet to be another talented singer. And this is also another TikTok song and it's also already on the Hot 100 which was interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Em's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly and super fun. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Latto - Big Energy: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 5. This really deserves to be in there! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

4. Gayle - ABCDEFU: It dropped out of the Top 3, and I'm sure that it's now going to be on it's way out of here. But it sure did do very well on there.

3. Glass Animals - Heat Waves: Yeah, I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 3 and be on it's way out of here very soon. Maybe within the next week or so it should do that.

2. Doja Cat - Woman: It's almost at the top spot! And I'm sure that this is definitely going to be in the top spot very soon. I'm hoping it'll happen.

1. Lil Nas X - That's What I Want: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm fine with this song still in there, but I'm sure another song is going to hit the top spot next week, but let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
