This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Megan Thee Stallion/Dua Lipa - Sweetest Pie (+8) take the biggest jump this week. This deserves it! And now I'm hoping that this should be in the Top 10 soon.

Adele - Oh My God (-13) has been losing lots of airplay on the pop radio charts recently and that's what managed to have the biggest drop this week. And I'm sure this is definitely going to be out of here next week.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Labrinth/Zendaya - I'm Tired: This song was actually from an HBO series called Euphoria, which I've actually never seen before. I'm gonna have to watch some episodes of this show sometime. But this is an amazing song for me to listen to. 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. Let's see how this one does on there.

The Chainsmokers - iPad: Wow, I did not expect this song to debut the countdown, but here it is. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely a phenomenal song and this is definitely a step up from High. As for my opinion on this one, the production was super amazing, Andrew's vocals were so phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

Tyga/Doja Cat - Freaky Deaky: I know I've been hating his music recently since he is not a good artist, but this song is actually amazing. With my opinion on this one, 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 well on there.

Mimi Webb - House On Fire: The best countdown debut this week. She has finally made her first countdown appearance after Good Without and 24 / 5 were Hit Bound dropouts. As far as the song goes, it's definitely phenomenal. The production was so phenomenal, Mimi's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a humongous fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super heavenly. I'm really hoping that this should do amazing on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Tiesto/Ava Max - The Motto: I'm super pleased to see this song debut the Top 5 this week. And this was actually his first Top 5 appearance on there. Now, hopefully this should go to the Top 3 soon.

4. Ed Sheeran - Overpass Graffiti: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a phenomenal run on there. And I'm sure this might hang around in the Top 5 for a few more weeks longer because of how it did.

3. Em Beihold - Numb Little Bug: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. Gosh, she sure has been off to a great start in her career. But can this be her first #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out.

2. Charlie Puth - Light Switch: I'm still waiting for this song to be at the top spot. I know he was also no strangers at the top spot, but again I'm not sure if it'll happen.

1. Imagine Dragons/J.I.D. - Enemy: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. They have now made their return to the top spot this week. I know they've been having a lot of #1 songs in their career. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

1. Lawrence - Don't Lose Sight

2. Tom Grennan - Remind Me

3. Mimi Webb - House On Fire

4. Machine Gun Kelly/Blackbear - Make Up Sex (DEBUT)

5. 24kgoldn/Travis Barker - In My Head (DEBUT)

6. Nicky Youre - Sunroof

7. Imagine Dragons - Bones

8. Boy With Uke/Blackbear - IDGAF (DEBUT)

9. Jena Rose - Checkmate

10. Leah Kate - 10 Things I Hate About You (DEBUT)

11. Gayle - Luv Started

12. Bailey Bryan/24kgoldn - MF

13. Hot Chelle Rae - Stupid Song

14. Iann Dior - Let You (RE-ENTRY)

15. AnnenMayKantereit/Giant Rooks - Tom's Diner (DEBUT)

16. Diplo/Miguel - Don't Forget My Love

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Machine Gun Kelly/Blackbear - Make Up Sex: After My Ex's Best Friend became a hit, these two have collaborated again. As far as the song goes, it's definitely phenomenal. As for my opinion, the production was super amazing, MGK's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus was super phenomenal, and Blackbear's vocals in his verse were so phenomenal. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

24kgoldn/Travis Barker - In My Head: I feel like he's starting to improve in his new music because this is also a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, the production was absolutely phenomenal, Goldn's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was definitely what I stand for. So yeah, this is such a phenomenal and fun song overall for me to listen to. Hopefully this will make the countdown soon.

Boy With Uke/Blackbear - IDGAF: Does anybody remember him? He had a Hit Bound dropout last year called Toxic which lasted only one week on there. And now he's back. But I gotta say, this is just a decent song. There isn't really anything interesting to say about it. Though the production here was neat, but I'm not really huge on Boy With Uke's vocals. He doesn't sound that good here. Though Blackbear's vocals don't sound that bad in his verse and the chorus was just decent. But I still don't mind the lyrics here because I think they're still very interesting. But this is decent overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Leah Kate - 10 Things I Hate About You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. She replaces herself on there. As far as the song goes, it's also another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as F U Anthem, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Leah's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were pretty interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. But yeah, overall it's phenomenal. I'm sure hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

Iann Dior - Let You: Wow, I did not expect this song to come back on there, but there it is. Now, let's see if this should have another chance to be on the countdown soon.

AnnenMayKantereit/Giant Rooks - Tom's Diner: I really have no idea what's going on with this song, but my gosh this is such a garbage song. There's really nothing good to say about it. The production was so awful, the vocals were grating, the lyrics were definitely a huge mess, and that chorus was total garbage. This is definitely going to end up in my Bottom 10 Songs of the year when it debuts the countdown. Even if it doesn't, it'll still be in there. I'm sure hoping that it should never happen.
