This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm pleased to see Usher/Summer Walker/21 Savage - Good Good (+5) gain some airplay this week. What a week it has been for them! Now, let's see if it'll get to the Top 20 soon.

Bakar - Hell N Back (-12) sure has been losing lots of airplay recently. Even though I'm not really that thrilled by it taking the biggest drop, I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back!: The best debut this week. So she has released her new album Guts last month and this was one of the songs that was off of the album. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Bad Idea Right. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Olivia's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should become a hit on there.

Jung Kook/Jack Harlow - 3D: Since Seven is now on it's way out of here, this song has now made it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Seven. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing, Jung Kook's vocals were super amazing, Jack's vocals in his verse were also super amazing, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Doechii - What It Is (Block Boy): It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see this song in there. It deserves it! Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 3 soon.

4. Doja Cat - Paint The Town Red: I'm super pleased to see this song move up. And I really would like to see this song in the Top 3 next week. Hopefully it will happen.

3. Taylor Swift - Cruel Summer: It dropped out of the top spot once again. But it still had a phenomenal run on there. Though I'd like this song to stay in the Top 3 for a little while longer and then be on it's way out of here.

2. SZA - Snooze: It's almost at the top spot, but again I'm not sure if it'll actually be at this spot, but let's see if it actually does soon.

1. Nicki Minaj/Ice Spice/Aqua - Barbie World: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. I actually didn't expect this song to be in there, but I'm glad it did. Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot.
