#1 Song This Week One Year Ago:

Harry Styles - As It Was (1 of 6 weeks at #1)

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about Taylor Swift - Karma (+4) taking a short biggest jump. And I'm sure hoping this should go to the Top 20 next week.

Lady Gaga - Bloody Mary (-9) sure has been losing lots of airplay recently. Although I'm sure it's about to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

SZA - Snooze: This is absolutely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Kill Bill, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, SZA's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. I'm sure hoping that this should become a hit on there which I'm sure it's going to.

Lewis Capaldi - Wish You The Best: This is absolutely another amazing song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from How I'm Feeling Now. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Lewis's vocals were super amazing, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how far this one gets on there.

Rita Ora/Fatboy Slim - Praising You: The best debut this week. So this song is another remake of an old song and it was actually Fatboy Slim's own song Praise You, which I think is super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely another phenomenal song and it's definitely a step up from You Only Love Me. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Rita's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. SZA - Kill Bill: Yeah I'm sure this is definitely leaving the Top 5 pretty soon. Maybe within the next week or so it'll be out of here.

4. Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': I actually did not expect this song to jump, but again I'm sure it's going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

3. Miguel - Sure Thing: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the top spot. But again I'm not sure if it's actually going to do that, but let's see what happens next.

2. Miley Cyrus - Flowers: Yeah I'm sure this song is going to remain at this spot because of how well it did at the top spot. Let's see how long it'll stay in there.

1. Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased to see this song still at that spot. But I'm sure another song might take over the top spot soon, but let's see if it'll stay in there or not.
