This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Beyonce - Break My Soul (+7) take the biggest jump. This really deserves it! And I'm also pleased to see it in the Top 20 as well. Hopefully it'll go to the Top 10 soon.

I'm fine with Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You (-6) taking the biggest drop. I'll still give credit to that. Although I'm sure that this song might be on it's way out of here.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Panic! At The Disco - Middle Of A Breakup: This is absolutely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Viva Las Vengeance, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Brendon's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. But yeah, this is phenomenal overall. I'm sure hoping that this should do better on here than Viva Las Vengeance did.

Doja Cat - Vegas: The best countdown debut this week. This was actually one of the songs that was taken from the new Elvis movie, which I've actually seen before. I thought that it was an amazing movie. As far as the song goes, this is also another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Get Into It (Yuh). With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Doja'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 become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ava Max - Maybe You're The Problem: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the Top 3. But I'm not sure if it's actually going to happen, but I'm hoping that it will soon.

4. Shawn Mendes - When You're Gone: How is this song still standing at this spot? Come on, we know that he's popular on there and I know he has been having a lot of Top 3 songs on there so this really needs to be in the Top 3 soon.

3. Harry Styles - Late Night Talking: I actually did not expect this song to drop, but again it might still have a chance to be at the top spot. Again hopefully it'll be in there soon.

2. Nicky Youre/Dazy - Sunroof: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice run on there. That was definitely an amazing start in his career of music. And I'm sure this is probably gonna hang around in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer. Let's see how long it will remain in there.

1. Lizzo - About Damn Time: Wow, I actually did not expect this song to be at the top spot. And now this is her first ever #1 song on there. That was definitely an amazing thing to see and I'm so pleased to see it at the top spot. Now, let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

1. Billie Eilish - TV (DEBUT)

2. Beyonce - Summer Renaissance (DEBUT)

3. Steve Lacy - Bad Habit (DEBUT)

4. Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd - American Psycho (DEBUT)

5. OHNO - Drowsy (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Billie Eilish - TV: So this song has replaced The 30th on there. Though I'm okay with this one replacing The 30th, but it's still not that good. This is also a decent song. Although I do know it's a little bit of a step up from The 30th, but it's still decent. With my opinion, the production was decent, Billie's vocals were decent, the lyrics were decent, the chorus was decent, everything here was decent. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Beyonce - Summer Renaissance: Since Break My Soul has been doing so well on the pop radio charts, we now have this song making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Break My Soul, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Beyonce's vocals were super amazing, I'm a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Steve Lacy - Bad Habit: I've actually known him before because I've heard Dark Red on Alt Nation during Advanced Placement 5 years ago. And now, here he is making his debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's such a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Dark Red, but it's still amazing. For my opinion, the production was super amazing, Steve's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Marshmello/Mae Muller/Trippie Redd - American Psycho: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is absolutely a phenomenal EDM song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Mae's vocals were super phenomenal like in Better Days, the lyrics were super phenomenal, the chorus and drop both sounded so heavenly, and Trippie Redd's rapping in his verse was super phenomenal. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

OHNO - Drowsy: This is just a mediocre song. There really isn't anything interesting to say about it. I don't really love the vocals here and the production is a bit underwhelming. Though the chorus here was meh and I think the lyrics were still very nicely-written. But I think that's all I have to say about this song. But yeah, this is mediocre overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon which I'm not sure if it's going to, but we're gonna have to see. I'll be okay if it does.

AJR - I Won't: I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Way Less Sad, but it's still amazing. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Jack's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. I'm really hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

Rosa Linn - Snap: The interesting thing about this song is that it actually sounds like an early 2010s indie folk-pop song with a little bit of a mixture of Taylor Swift, which was actually super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Rosa's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and I really fell in love with the chorus. I really would like to see this song become the next One To Watch and hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Leah Kate - Life Sux: We now have this song making it's debut on there after Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch dropped out of Hit Bound a few weeks ago. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Leah's vocals were pretty heavenly, the lyrics were so phenomenal, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Nessa Barrett - Die First: Wow, I did not expect this song to come back on there. But I'm glad to see that happen. Hopefully it'll have another chance to be on the countdown soon.
