This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I actually knew Harry Styles - Music For A Sushi Restaurant (+9) was going to take the biggest jump. What a week for him! And I'm sure that it's going to be in the Top 5 very soon. Hopefully it'll happen.

5 Seconds Of Summer - Me, Myself & I has somewhat been losing lots of airplay recently and it has managed to take the biggest drop. But what's also tied for the biggest drop which I'm really not too thrilled to see was Halsey - So Good (-11) as it has also dropped out of the Top 10. This really does not deserve to take it!!!

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Nicki Minaj - Super Freaky Girl: The best countdown debut this week. She has finally made her return on the countdown this week after a long hiatus of making new music. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal and very groovy, Nicki's vocals were super phenomenal especially in the verses, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully it'll do amazing on there.

Russ/Ed Sheeran - Are You Entertained: Finally after Handsomer failed to be on there a few months ago, he has finally made his first countdown appearance this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's actually a step up from Handsomer. With my opinion, the production was so fun, both Russ and Ed sound super amazing and they really have great chemistry, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and I really enjoyed the chorus. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Post Malone/Doja Cat - I Like You (A Happier Song): It debuted the Top 5 this week. And of course I'm actually fine with it being here. It's just a decent song. Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 3 soon.

4. Ava Max - Maybe You're The Problem: Yeah I'm sure it's going to start dropping and be on it's way out of here very soon. But it still had a nice run on there.

3. Charlie Puth/Jung Kook - Left And Right: It also debuted the Top 5 this week and it's now in the Top 3. And I'm sure this is going to end up being at the top spot. Hopefully it'll do it soon.

2. Harry Styles - Late Night Talking: I'm sure this is probably gonna come back to the top spot sometime soon. Let's see if I'm right.

1. Nicky Youre/Dazy - Sunroof: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there, but I'm sure another song might take over the top spot next week, but let's see if it'll stay in there or not.

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

1. OHNO - Drowsy (RE-ENTRY)

2. Demi Lovato - 29 (DEBUT)

3. James Hype/Miggy Dela Rosa - Ferrari

4. Macklemore/Windser - Maniac (DEBUT)

5. Blackpink - Pink Venom (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

OHNO - Drowsy: I'm fine with this song coming back on Hit Bound. I'll still give credit to that. Now, let's see if it'll have another chance to be on the countdown.

Demi Lovato - 29: This is actually the first song off of the album, which I've actually found interesting. As far as the song goes, it's actually a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Substance. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Demi's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly and I definitely stand for it. Here's to hoping that it should make the countdown soon.

Macklemore/Windser - Maniac: This is such an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Conan Gray's song from 2020 with the same title, but it's still amazing. For my opinion, the production was so amazing, Macklemore's rapping in the verses were super amazing and he flows very nicely throughout them, the lyrics were super interesting, and Windser's vocals in the chorus were so phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Blackpink - Pink Venom: After Rose and Lisa each had a solo single and both of them being Hit Bound dropouts last year, they have finally made their return on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's also an amazing song. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, the vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Panic! At The Disco - Don't Let The Light Go Out: I've also 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 Middle Of A Breakup, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this one, the production was super amazing, Brendon's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Zedd/Maren Morris/Beauz - Make You Say: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. They have now collaborated again after The Middle become a huge hit back in 2018, and of course I've been hating this song back then. And yes, I do still hate The Middle, but this new song is actually so much better. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a super heavenly song and this is definitely the best song that I've ever heard from him. It's way better than The Middle and all of his other songs. With my opinion on this song, the production was super heavenly, Maren's vocals were so much better and they're pretty heavenly, I'm definitely a humongous fan of the lyrics, the chorus was super heavenly, and the drop was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 5 Songs of the year when it debuts the countdown. I'm sure hoping it'll happen soon.

Sofia Carson - Come Back Home: Of course I've actually known her before this one because I know she was also from the Disney Channel movie Descendants back in 2015, and she actually played the lead character Evie. And now, she has made her debut on there. But I gotta say, this is a decent song. There's not much here that's interesting to say about it. Though I do love the production here, but I'm not really huge on Sofia's vocals. I don't think she sounds good here. Though the chorus was fine and the lyrics were still super nicely-written. But this is decent overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Burna Boy - Last Last: We have yet another Nigerian singer making his debut on there? That's so interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. For my opinion on this one, the production was super outstanding, Burna Boy's vocals were so amazing, the lyrics were super nice, and the chorus was super amazing. Although I'm not sure if it's actually going to debut the countdown, but let's see if it'll do it soon.
