This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Leah Kate - 10 Things I Hate About You and Lauv - All 4 Nothing (I'm So In Love) (+9) take the biggest jump and now both of them are in the Top 20. What a big week for them!

Although I'm not too thrilled about Avril Lavigne/Blackbear - Love It When You Hate Me (-13) take the biggest drop, but I do know that it has started to lose airplay so I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

DNCE - Move: The band has now made their first appearance on there since Kissing Strangers back in 2017. As far as the song goes, this is definitely an amazing song and this is actually a step up from Kissing Strangers, but definitely not as good as Dancing Feet though. But it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Joe's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how far this one should get.

Lady Gaga - Hold My Hand: This was the song that was from the new Top Gun: Maverick movie, which I've actually seen before. It was such an amazing movie. And as for this new song, it's definitely a phenomenal song. For my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Gaga's vocals were so phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super phenomenal. I'm sure hoping that this should do super amazing on there.

Lauren Spencer-Smith - Flowers: The best countdown debut this week. Since Fingers Crossed left the countdown last week, we now have this one making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is actually a step up from Fingers Crossed. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Lauren's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Tate McRae - She's All I Wanna Be: I'm so pleased to see this song debut the Top 5 this week. This really deserves to be in there. Now, hopefully this should go to the Top 3 soon.

4. Imagine Dragons/J.I.D. - Enemy: It dropped out of the top spot. But again it had an amazing time on it's second run there. And I'm sure this is probably gonna stay in the Top 5 for a few more weeks longer.

3. Dove Cameron - Boyfriend: Can we seriously please let this song drop and let it be banned from the Top 5? I really don't want it to be at the top spot because really this is not a good song for me.

2. Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie: Yeah, I'm sure this song is going to stand at this spot for a little while longer and not be at the top spot. But we're gonna have to see what happens next to this song.

1. Harry Styles - As It Was: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. And I actually knew that it was going to be in there because it's him. He's like the most popular former One Direction member out of all the others. And I'm sure this song is going to stay in the top spot for a while. Let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

1. Sam Smith - Love Me More

2. 5 Seconds Of Summer - Me, Myself & I (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

5 Seconds Of Summer - Me, Myself & I: Since Complete Mess is currently doing so well on the countdown, this song has now made it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is actually a step up from Complete Mess and G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha's song from 2016 with the same title. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Luke's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super phenomenal and definitely what I fell in love with. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Jack Harlow - Dua Lipa: It's interesting how the title was a current popular pop artist. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song and this is actually a step up from First Class. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Jack's vocals were super amazing and he flows very nicely here, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was definitely what I stand for. I'm really hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

The Chainsmokers - I Love U: We have now picked up a new song from them after Riptide just became a Hit Bound dropout. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is actually a step up from Riptide. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Andrew's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was definitely what I fell in love with. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Tate McRae - What Would You Do: Since She's All I Wanna Be hit the Top 5 this week, we have now picked up a new single from her. As for this new song, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as She's All I Wanna Be, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Tate's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. I'm sure hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

Bazzi - Will It Ever Feel The Same: This is absolutely an outstanding song. But definitely not as good as I Like That, but it's still outstanding. For my opinion, the production was so outstanding, Bazzi's vocals were super outstanding and he shines very nicely throughout the entire song, the lyrics were super nice, and the chorus was so amazing. But yeah, this is definitely an outstanding song overall for me to listen to. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Maneskin - Supermodel: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and this is definitely a step up from Mammamia. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Damiano David's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and I definitely stand for the chorus. Here's to hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.
