This Week's Mover and Shaker:

AJR - World's Smallest Violin (+7) took the biggest jump as it went to the Top 20 this week. I'm so pleased to see it do it.

I did not expect Morgan Wallen - Wasted On You (-14) to take the biggest drop, but I do know it has been losing some airplay so I'm sure this is going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

P!nk - Never Gonna Not Dance Again: The best debut this week. She has made her return on there after a few years off of making new music. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. But definitely not as good as Hustle, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this one, the production was so amazing, P!nk's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal and I actually fell in love with it. Let's see how this one does on there.

Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': So he has put out a new album last month and this was one of the songs that was off of the album. As far as the song goes, it's also another amazing song. With my opinion, Metro Boomin's production was so amazing, Abel's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus was so phenomenal, and 21 Savage's rapping in his verse was so amazing. Let's see how far this one should get on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Nicki Minaj - Super Freaky Girl: I'm sure that this song is definitely going to be leaving the Top 5 next week. But it still had an amazing run in there.

4. The Weeknd - Die For You: I'm pleased to see this song move up. And I'm sure hoping that it should make the Top 3 within the next week or so.

3. David Guetta/Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue): I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the top spot. But I'm sure hoping that it should do it next week.

2. Sam Smith/Kim Petras - Unholy: I do have a feeling that this song might drop out of the Top 3 within the next week or so. But again it still had a nice time in there.

1. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased to see this song still in there. And I'm sure that this song is going to stay in there for a few more weeks longer. Let's see how long it'll be in there even more.
