This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased about OneRepublic - Runaway and Icandy - Keep Dat (+9) taking the biggest jumps this week. They deserve it! Now, let's see if they'll go to the Top 10 soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see Fifty Fifty - Cupid (-5) take the biggest drop, but at least it's a short biggest drop so this might come back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Doja Cat - Attention: So she put out a new single from her new upcoming album last week, which I think is so amazing. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Doja's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this gets on there.

Fall Out Boy - Hold Me Like A Grudge: The best countdown debut this week. Since Love From The Other Side hit the top spot on there, this song has now made it's debut straight onto there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Love From The Other Side, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Patrick's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should become a hit on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Dua Lipa - Dance The Night: No, this does not deserve to drop. But I'm sure this is going to be back up next week and hopefully it'll get to the Top 3 soon.

4. Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed: I'm pleased to see this song move back up. And I'm sure hoping that this should go back to the Top 3 very soon.

3. Post Malone - Chemical: Why is it still in the Top 3? Again this does not deserve to be in there. This needs to get out of here.

2. Jonas Brothers - Waffle House: Or maybe this song might hold at this spot because of what's going on at the top spot. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

1. Taylor Swift/Ice Spice - Karma: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. And yes, I feel like this song might hold at this spot for a little while longer because I know everybody and this station loves her. Let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Jessie Murph/Maren Morris - Texas

2. Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World (DEBUT)

3. Benson Boone - In The Stars

4. Tai Verdes - Sandman (DEBUT)

5. Niall Horan - Science (DEBUT)

6. Doechii - What It Is (Block Boy)

7. Jelly Roll - Need A Favor (DEBUT)

13. Dominic Fike - Mona Lisa

14. Charlie Puth/Jimin/Jvke/Muni Long - Angel Pt. 2

15. Nicky Youre - Good Times Go

16. Havanna Winter - Tornado

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World: Of course this was actually another one of those songs that was taken from the soundtrack of the upcoming Barbie movie, and of course this song also samples Aqua's hit song Barbie Girl, which was definitely what I expected. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Princess Diana. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, the verses from Nicki and Ice Spice sound super phenomenal, their interplay in the chorus was so heavenly, and the lyrics were super nicely-written. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

Tai Verdes - Sandman: We've finally picked up a new single from him after he's been having lots of Hit Bound dropouts last year. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Tai's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Though I don't think it's ever going to be on the countdown, but let's see if it does soon.

Niall Horan - Science: He replaces himself on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from If You Leave Me. With my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Niall's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was super phenomenal. I'm sure hoping that this should be on the countdown soon.

Jelly Roll - Need A Favor: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And wow, another country song that has been doing super well on the country radio charts making it's debut on there? I actually didn't expect it to happen. And of course I've been hearing this song a lot on The Highway as well. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Son Of A Sinner. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, his vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

D4vd - Here With Me: I don't know what's going on with all those stage names to artists. I know we have Jxdn, Jvke, and now him. They should really stop doing that and gave those artists their real names. And of course this song is garbage. With my opinion, the production is super weird, his vocals don't sound good at all especially when it's drowned in effects, and the chorus was so awful and garbage. But the lyrics were still great, so I'll still give credit to them. But this is garbage overall. Hopefully this doesn't go to the countdown.

Kim Petras - Revelations: This is such another phenomenal song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Alone. With my opinion on this one, the production was super amazing, Kim's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super phenomenal. But yeah, overall it's such a phenomenal song for me to listen to. I'm really hoping that this should make the countdown soon.
