This Week's Mover and Shaker:

For the second week in a row, Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back! (+6) had the biggest jump. I'm super pleased to see this song do it again. And I'm sure it's going to be in the Top 20 next week. Hopefully it'll be in there.

Morgan Wallen - Last Night and Lil Durk/J. Cole - All My Life (-4) sure has been losing airplay recently. And I'm sure that they're going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Ice Spice/Rema - Pretty Girl: So she has put out a new single last month, and now it has made it's debut on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was super amazing, Ice Spice's rapping in the verses was so phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and Rema's vocals in the chorus were super phenomenal. Let's see how far this one goes on there.

Kenya Grace - Strangers: The best debut this week. And what I've noticed about this song is that it actually seems like it's going viral recently, which was actually so interesting. And now, here she is with her first ever song on there. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely another phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Kenya's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doechii - What It Is (Block Boy): Gosh, when is this song going to move up? Though I'm not sure if it'll actually go to the Top 3, but let's see what happens next.

4. Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World: Yeah I'm sure this song is about to be on it's way out of here. Though I'm glad that it's still in the Top 5, but I have a feeling that it's going to start dropping very soon.

3. SZA - Snooze:  It dropped out of the top spot. But it still had a nice time in there last week, but it's always nice to see something new at the top spot rather then the same songs. Though I'd somehow like it to stay in the Top 5 for a few more weeks longer and then be on it's way out of here.

2. Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer: I'm pleased to see this song move back up to that spot, but I don't think it's ever going to come back to the top spot. But maybe it might hold at this spot for a couple more weeks longer at the very least.

1. Doja Cat - Paint The Town Red: I'm super duper pleased to see this song at the top spot. This really deserves it! And I'd like to see this song hold the spot for a few more weeks longer. Let's see how long it'll hold the spot.
