This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Ariana Grande - We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) take the biggest jump to the Top 5. This really deserves it! And Olivia Rodrigo - So American (+6) was also tied for the biggest jump, and I was also pleased to see it do that. They both deserve to take it!

I'm not that thrilled to see Dua Lipa - Houdini (-7) take the biggest drop out of the Top 5, but it still had a phenomenal time on there. But I'm sure it's going to be out of here soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Glass Animals - Creatures In Heaven: The best countdown debut this week. We haven't heard from them on there since Heat Waves from 2 years ago. And now, they're finally back. And of course I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Heat Waves. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, Dave Bayley's vocals were super heavenly, I'm definitely a humongous fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Beyonce/Miley Cyrus - II Most Wanted: So she has released her new country album Cowboy Carter, and now we have another one of the songs from the album debuting on there and now it has joined Texas Hold 'Em on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Texas Hold 'Em. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, both Beyonce and Miley sound super marvelous, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly and I really enjoyed it. Let's see how this one does on there.

Imagine Dragons - Eyes Closed: This is another band that hasn't made any new music for 2 years. And now, they're also back. And of course this is another song that I've been hearing a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Ed Sheeran's song of the same title from last year. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Dan's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Ariana Grande - We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love): Thanks to it's biggest jump this week, this song has now made it's debut in the Top 5. Once again I'm pleased to see this song in there. Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 3 soon.

4. Knox - Not The 1975: Well I actually expected this song to be out of the Top 3. But yeah, this song is definitely not hitting the top spot on there. But I'm sure it's going to be out of the Top 5 very soon.

3. Dua Lipa - Training Season: She replaced herself in the Top 3 this week thanks to Houdini taking the biggest drop out of here. Though it's actually a nice thing because it's always nice to see new songs on there instead of the same old songs over again. Now, let's see if it'll go to the top spot soon.

2. Benson Boone - Beautiful Things: I'm pleased to see it back in the Top 3. And now it's almost at the top spot. But I'm sure it's definitely not going to hit the top spot, I know he hasn't had a #1 song on there yet, but let's see if this should be his first soon.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Feather: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Gosh, this song sure has been doing so well on there recently. I'm pleased that it's still in there again. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Michael Marcagi - Scared To Start

2. Dua Lipa - Illusion (DEBUT)

3. D4vd - Feel It (DEBUT)

4. OneRepublic - Nobody (DEBUT)

5. Benson Boone - Cry

6. Mimi Webb - Mistake (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Dua Lipa - Illusion: Since Training Season hit the Top 5 and into the Top 3 on the countdown this week, we now have this song making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Training Season. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Dua's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were so marvelous and nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

D4vd - Feel It: In case you remember, he had a Hit Bound dropout last year called Here With Me, and that was a song that I hate back then. And now, we have a new garbage song from him on there. There's nothing good to say about it. Though this wasn't as bad as Here With Me, but it's still garbage. With my opinion, the production was awful, D4vd's vocals were terrible, and the chorus was garbage. But the lyrics were still interesting, so I'll still give credit to them. But this is not a good song overall for me. Please don't let this be on the countdown.

OneRepublic - Nobody: While I Don't Wanna Wait is still there, we now have a second song from them making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as I Don't Wanna Wait, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Ryan's vocals were super marvelous, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Mimi Webb - Mistake: It's actually been a year since we last heard from her, and now she's back. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Red Flags, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Mimi's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Here's to hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

People R Ugly - DUMB: Oh boy... not another new single from them. Of course you remember when I hated Brain Dead a few months ago. And now for this new song, it's definitely another garbage song. But definitely not as bad as Brain Dead, but it's still garbage. With my opinion, the production was so awful, the vocals were so horrible, the lyrics were so bad, and the chorus was absolute total garbage. Come on, please don't let this song be on the countdown. NEXT!

Artemas - I Like The Way You Kiss Me: I've also been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. I was actually expecting him to have a song on there, and now here he is making his first appearance on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. With my opinion on it, the production was so amazing, Artemas's vocals were super remarkable, the lyrics were very nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Since Feather hit the top spot on the countdown, we've now picked up a new single from her on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another heavenly song and it's definitely a step up from Feather. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, Sabrina's vocals were super heavenly, the lyrics were super duper nicely-written and they're definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. This is also going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year when it makes the countdown. Hopefully it'll be in there very soon.

Mark Ambor - Belong Together: I've noticed that this song has actually went viral on TikTok before it was released which I think is super interesting. And now he has his first appearance on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another amazing song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so remarkable, Mark's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Vaultboy - You're My Moon: Does anybody remember him? He had a song on there back in 2021 called Everything Sucks, and of course that was a song that I hated back then. And now, for this new song... oh gosh this is garbage as well. But definitely not as bad as Everything Sucks, but it's still garbage. With my opinion, the production was so bad, Vaultboy's vocals were awful, and the chorus was garbage. But the lyrics were still nicely-written, so I'll definitely still give credit to that. But this is yet another garbage song overall. I'm hoping this will not be on the countdown. I don't want to go back to having bad songs on the countdown. Let's just move on.

Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe!: In case you remember, she had a Hit Bound dropout last year called Kaleidoscope, and I've been enjoying that song back then. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Kaleidoscope. With my opinion on this song, the production was so incredible, Chappell's vocals were super phenomenal, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
