This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see NF - Happy (+15) gain some airplay on the pop radio charts this week. What a big week for him! And I'm sure hoping it'll go to the Top 20 soon.

I'm okay with The Kid Laroi - Love Again (-9) taking the biggest drop. I know it has been losing some airplay recently so I'm sure it's going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

David Guetta/Anne-Marie/Coi Leray - Baby Don't Hurt Me: The best debut this week. So those two collaborated again for the first time since Don't Leave Me Alone back in 2018, and that was a song that I've really enjoyed in which you remembered. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly EDM song. Though definitely not as good as I'm Good (Blue), but it's still heavenly. And this is actually the second time that he sampled an old hit song, this time it's What Is Love from Haddaway. Gosh, I feel like he really loves sampling old songs in his music. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, Anne-Marie's vocals were super heavenly, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus and drop were extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully it'll become a hit on there.

The Weeknd/Future - Double Fantasy: What I've noticed about this song is that it actually has an extended intro, but the radio edit version of it decided to cut it out so that way the song won't be so long. I think it's so interesting to me. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Die For You, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the synth-heavy production was so phenomenal, Abel's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, the chorus was so heavenly, and Future's rapping in his verse was super phenomenal. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Miley Cyrus - Jaded: Since River left, we now have this song debuting on there replacing it. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as River, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Miley's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this one gets on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Miguel - Sure Thing: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the Top 3. But I'm sure hoping that it should do it within the next week or so.

4. Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': Yeah I'm sure this song is going to leave the Top 5 very soon. Maybe it should spend at least a couple more weeks in there and then be out of here.

3. SZA - Kill Bill: I feel like this song is about to leave the Top 3 pretty soon. But it still had a very nice run in there, but it's always nice to see new music in there rather than the same music.

2. Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down: It's almost at the top spot! But again I'm not sure if it'll actually be in there, but can this be his first ever #1 song on there? We're gonna have to find out.

1. Miley Cyrus - Flowers: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. Never in my wildest dreams how has this song been getting more and more popular recently? This might end up being the biggest song of the year on there because of how well it did. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
