This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm really not happy about Dove Cameron - Boyfriend taking the biggest jump. This does not deserve it at all! But what's also tied for the biggest jump that made me feel better was 5 Seconds Of Summer - Complete Mess (+10), and that was a much better song so I'm pleased to see it.

I'm fine with Benson Boone - Ghost Town (-12) taking the biggest drop. Though I do know it has been around in there for a while so I'm sure this is about to be out of here. A lot of times when songs are around for a while, they'll take the biggest drop and be out of here sometime soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Sadie Jean - WYD Now: Wow, I did not expect this song to come back in there. But I'm so pleased to see that. Let's see how this song should do on it's second run.

Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie: The best countdown debut this week. This is absolutely another phenomenal and fun song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Megan's verses were super phenomenal and she really flows super 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 such a fun song for me to listen to. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Encanto Cast - We Don't Talk About Bruno: This was actually from the new Disney movie Encanto, and that is a movie that I've actually never seen in theaters. I do would like to see it sometime. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing and fun song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, all of their vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super fun, especially in the last chorus. Though I'm not sure if this should do well on there, but I'm sure hoping it should.

Kygo/DNCE - Dancing Feet: Joe and his band have finally made their return on there, and so is that super talented EDM producer. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing and fun song to dance to. For my opinion, the production was super fun, Joe's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were very interesting, the chorus was so phenomenal, and the drop is what I really stand for. So yeah, this is such an amazing EDM song overall for me to listen to. Let's see how far this one should get.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Em Beihold - Numb Little Bug: She has now made her first Top 5 appearance this week, and that I was so pleased about. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

4. The Weeknd - Sacrifice: I'm glad to see this song move up, and I'm really hoping that it'll go to the Top 3 very soon. Let's see if this should happen.

3. Imagine Dragons/J.I.D. - Enemy: I'm so pleased to see this song back in the Top 3, but again I'm not sure if this will be at the top spot mainly because of what was going on. But we don't know yet for sure so let's see if it will.

2. Charlie Puth - Light Switch: It's so nice to see this song move back up and be almost at the top spot. But again I'm not sure if it'll be at the top spot as well, but again we don't know what happens next.

1. Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti: Holding the top spot for the 5th week in a row. Gosh, how is this song doing super phenomenal on there? But yeah, I feel like Hits 1 must be in love with him. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, Bailey's vocals were super amazing, it has some super interesting lyrics, the chorus was so phenomenal, and Goldn doesn't sound bad in his verse. But yeah, amazing song overall for me to listen to. But I'm not sure if this should make the countdown, but I'm sure hoping that it should.

Diplo/Miguel - Don't Forget My Love: This was absolutely an amazing EDM song. But definitely not as good as Heartless, but it's still amazing.

So yeah, amazing EDM song overall for me to listen to. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Gayle - Luv Started: Since ABCDEFU has been doing super amazing on the pop radio charts, we have now picked up this song. As far as the song goes, it's definitely amazing. But definitely not as good as ABCDEFU, but it's still amazing. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Gayle's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Hopefully this should make the countdown.

Imagine Dragons - Bones: Since Enemy hit the Top 5, this song has now made it's debut on there. As for this song, it's also an amazing song. But not as good as Enemy, but it's still amazing. For my opinion on this one, the production was super outstanding, Dan's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were very nicely-written, and the chorus was super amazing. And I'm sure this is probably gonna debut the countdown when Enemy hits the top spot. Let's see if it'll happen.

Tom Grennan - Remind Me: He is finally back on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song and this is actually a step up from By Your Side and Little Bit Of Love. The production was so amazing, Tom's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so phenomenal. I'm really hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

Leah Kate - F U Anthem: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I've actually found her yet to be another super talented singer after I gave this song a listen for the first time. This is absolutely a heavenly song. With my opinion on this song, the production was super phenomenal, Leah's vocals were pretty heavenly, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super heavenly. Here's to hoping that it should be on the countdown and make it her first countdown appearance soon.
