This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Avril Lavigne/YUNGBLUD - I'm A Mess (+8) gain lots of airplay on there to take the biggest jump this week. This really deserves it! Now, let's see if it'll be in the Top 20 soon.

Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down (-8) does not deserve to take the biggest drop into the bottom spot! But I'm sure hoping that this should come back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

All Time Low - Sleepwalking: Well, no new entries this week. Just two re-entries. But I'm so pleased to see this song come back in there. I'm definitely cool with that. Now, let's see how this one does in it's second run.

Tate McRae - Uh Oh: I'm also pleased to see this song come back in there. This really deserves it. Now, let's see how this one does in it's second run.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Harry Styles - Music For A Sushi Restaurant: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get back in the Top 3 and into the top spot. We all know who he is, so hopefully it'll do it starting next week.

4. David Guetta/Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue): I don't really want this song to drop, but again I don't think it's ever going to hit the top spot in there so it might get out of here sometime later.

3. Jax - Victoria's Secret: Yeah I'm sure this song is never going to hit the top spot on there either. But I'm sure that it's going to be out of here soon.

2. Sam Smith/Kim Petras - Unholy: It dropped out of the top spot. But it sure did had a nice time there last week, but I'm sure this is going to drop and be out of the Top 5 very soon.

1. Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero: Wow, it has hit the top spot on it's 4th week on there? That's so crazy. But I'm so pleased to see this song in there. And I'm sure it's going to be holding the top spot for a while. This song might end up being the Shivers of 2022. Let's see how long it could hold the spot.

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

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Nonsense

2. Louis Tomlinson - Silver Tongues

3. Regard/Drop-G/A-Sho - No Love For You

4. Isabel LaRosa - I'm Yours (DEBUT)

5. Rihanna - Born Again

6. Kim Petras - If Jesus Was A Rockstar (DEBUT)

7. Jxdn - Sober (DEBUT)

8. Ava Max - Weapons

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Isabel LaRosa - I'm Yours: This is absolutely an amazing song. With my opinion on this one, the production was absolutely amazing, Isabel's vocals were so phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super amazing and it actually sounds like the slowed reverb-heavy version of Girl In Red's Serotonin from last year, which was actually super interesting. Though I'm not sure if it'll be on the countdown, but let's see if it'll be in there soon.

Kim Petras - If Jesus Was A Rockstar: After Unholy hit #1 on the countdown last week, we have picked up a solo single from her for the first time since Heart To Break back in 2018. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Heart To Break. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Kim's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Jxdn - Sober: Oh boy... here we go again with more of his music. He really is not a good artist. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a garbage song. There's nothing good to say about it. For my opinion, the production was so awful, Jxdn's vocals were so terrible, I'm not really a fan of the lyrics, and that chorus was absolutely total garbage. So yeah, not a good song for me to listen to overall. I'm hoping this doesn't debut the countdown.

Nicky Youre - Eyes On You: This is absolutely another phenomenal song and it's actually on the same level as Sunroof, because this song to me feels like Sunroof part 2 but this time without Dazy. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Nicky's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal and super fun. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Nicki Minaj/Maluma/Myriam Fares - Tukoh Taka: So this is one of the songs that was taken from the FIFA World Cup soundtrack, which I've actually found so interesting. Now, I've actually watched that soccer tournament, and I thought that it was so fun to watch. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Super Freaky Girl, but it's still amazing. As for my opinion, the production was so amazing, Nicki, Maluma and Myriam's rapping in their verses all sound super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

AJR - The DJ Is Crying For Help: I've also been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from World's Smallest Violin. With my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Jack's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. I'm sure hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

Lila Drew - Used To: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. This is absolutely another phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, I really love the piano line and the overall production was so phenomenal, Lila's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was super heavenly. Although I'm not sure if it'll be on the countdown, but I'm sure hoping that it does soon.
