This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Tiesto/Ava Max - The Motto (+13) take the biggest jump into the Top 10 this week. This totally deserves it! Now, let's see if this should go to the Top 5 soon.

I'm fine with Lil Nas X - That's What I Want (-6) taking the biggest drop. I'm still giving credit to that. But I do know it has been around in here for a while so I'm sure this is now on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Omah Lay/Justin Bieber - Attention: Wow, now we have 2 artists from Nigeria on there. But I gotta say, this is just a decent song. There isn't really anything here that's interesting to say about it. Though Omah's vocals don't sound that bad and I kinda like the production here, but Justin's vocals don't sound good here. I really don't like when he was singing in a super low register here. Though the lyrics were fine here and the chorus was just decent. But yeah, decent song overall. Let's see how far this one should get.

Camila Cabello/Ed Sheeran - Bam Bam: The best countdown debut this week. She has finally made her return on there which I actually expected to happen. I know she has been such a super talented singer. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another heavenly song. As for my opinion, the production was super phenomenal, Camila's vocals were so heavenly, Ed's vocals were super phenomenal in his contribution, the lyrics were pretty phenomenal, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Hopefully this should do well on there.

5 Seconds Of Summer - Complete Mess: After 2011 was a Hit Bound dropout a few months ago, we finally have this song making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But not as good as 2011, but it's still amazing. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Luke's vocals were super amazing, I'm a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so phenomenal. And I'm sure this is going to become a hit on there because it's them. Hopefully it'll do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. The Weeknd - Sacrifice: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see this song in there. This deserves it! Now, hopefully it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

4. Imagine Dragons/J.I.D. - Enemy: I actually don't want this song to leave the Top 3. But maybe this might not hit the top spot, but we don't know yet for sure.

3. Charlie Puth - Light Switch: I also don't want this song to drop. But at least it's still in the Top 3, so that's always a good thing.

2. Alesso/Katy Perry - When I'm Gone: It also debuted the Top 5 this week and into the Top 3 and now it's almost at the top spot. I'm super pleased to see it in there, but I'm not sure if it's ever going to hit the top spot. But I do know Midnight has hit the top spot a couple years ago, so we're just gonna have to find out of it does. I'm really hoping that it should pretty soon.

1. Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. Wow, this song sure has been doing super amazing on there mainly because it's him. He was definitely a no stranger at the top spot on there. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

Now, let's review this week's Hit Bound:

1. Eddie Benjamin - Weatherman

2. Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie (DEBUT)

3. Nessa Barrett - Dying On The Inside

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is absolutely a phenomenal and fun song. As for my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Megan's verses were super phenomenal and she really flows super nicely here, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and Dua's vocals in the chorus were so heavenly. But yeah, overall it's such a fun song for me to listen to. Hopefully it should be on the countdown soon.

Nicky Youre - Sunroof: It re-entered Hit Bound this week and I'm glad to see that. I know it's because this song has really been going viral on TikTok, so that's why it happened. Hopefully this song should have another chance to be on the countdown soon.

Labrinth/Zendaya - I'm Tired: This song was actually from an HBO series called Euphoria, which I've actually never seen before. But this is such an amazing song. With my opinion, the production was super outstanding, Labrinth's vocals were so amazing, Zendaya's vocals were so phenomenal in her contribution, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super amazing. Though I'm not sure if this should be on the countdown, but I'm sure hoping it does.

Lawrence - Don't Lose Sight: Wow, I was wondering where Hits 1 has picked up those random songs from new artists? Maybe they must've come from TikTok or something. But this is such another amazing song. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, the guy sounded super amazing and the girl sounded so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super fun. But again I'm not sure if this should be on the countdown, but let's see if it does soon.
