AT40: Miguel (5) Week Of July 1, 2023

So we are now officially halfway through the year. I thought that we've picked up some amazing music throughout the first half. Hopefully there will be more amazing music in the second half! Anyway.

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased that Flo Rida - What A Night and Bakar - Hell N Back (+7) both have been gaining some airplay this week. They both deserve to take the biggest jump this week! Now, let's see if they'll go to the Top 30 soon.

Coi Leray - Players (-7) sure has been losing lots of airplay recently. And I do know it's officially on it's way out of here so I'm sure this is leaving here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Jonas Brothers - Summer Baby: So they've put out a new album a couple months ago and it was actually called The Album, which was weird. I wish it would actually have a better name than that. But as far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Waffle House, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, both Nick and Joe sound so phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Gracie Abrams - I Know It Won't Work: The best debut this week. She has now made her first ever appearance on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Where Do We Go Now, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Gracie's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how this one does on there.

Lil Durk/J. Cole - All My Life: This is just a decent song. There really isn't anything interesting to say about this song. Though the piano-driven trap production doesn't sound good here, but the verses from Lil Durk and J. Cole actually sound so amazing and I don't mind the lyrics because I think they're still so nicely-written. Though the chorus here was decent but I don't really like the choir vocals in it. But yeah, this is decent overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Metro Boomin/The Weeknd/21 Savage - Creepin': Well thank goodness it's finally dropping. And I'm 100% sure it's going to be out of here next week.

4. Taylor Swift - Karma: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see it in there. And I'm sure this is going to be in the Top 3 next week.

3. Miley Cyrus - Flowers: I'm pleased that it's still in the Top 3, but I'm sure this might leave the Top 3 within the next week or so. But let's see what happens next.

2. Rema/Selena Gomez - Calm Down: Yeah I'm sure this might stay in the Top 3 for a few more weeks longer at the very least. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

1. Miguel - Sure Thing: Holding the top spot for the 5th week in a row. Gosh, what has this song been doing in there lately even though it's late? It really has been doing super amazing on there. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
