This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Eminem - Houdini (+8) gain some airplay this week. This totally deserves to take the biggest jump! Now, hopefully this should go to the Top 20 very soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see Marshmello/Kane Brown - Miles On It (-5) take the biggest drop, although I'm sure this is going to move back up sometime soon. Let's see if it'll happen.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Muni Long - Made For Me: We actually have no debuts this week, just 2 re-entries. But I'm pleased to see this song come back on there. I actually didn't expect it to happen, but I'm pleased about it. Now, let's see how this one does on it's second run on there.

Olivia Rodrigo - So American: I'm also pleased to see this song return to the countdown this week. And of course this song came back on there by going into the Top 10 this week, which was unbelievable. I'm sure this is going to do better on it's second run on there. Now, let's see if it'll go to the Top 5 soon.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Djo - End Of Beginning: He now has his first ever Top 5 song on there this week. I'm super glad to see this song in there. But I'm not sure if it'll go to the Top 3, but let's see if it does soon.

4. Dua Lipa - Illusion: Gosh, when is this song going to move up and get to the Top 3? Come on, I've been waiting for weeks for it to be in there. But hopefully it'll finally be in there soon.

3. Olivia Rodrigo - Obsessed: I'm pleased to see this song still in the Top 3, but I'm sure it's going to be out of here sometime soon. But it still had a nice time in there though.

2. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso: I'm sure this song was waiting to get to the top spot since it was standing at this spot for weeks. But again I'm not sure if it'll be in there.

1. Hozier - Too Sweet: Holding the top spot for the 6th week in a row. Wow, this song really has been getting super popular on there recently. I still can't believe this song was still at that spot. I'm super pleased about that. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Saweetie - NANi

2. Imagine Dragons - Nice To Meet You

3. Charli XCX - 360

4. Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay (DEBUT)

5. Dua Lipa - These Walls

6. Wallows - Calling After Me

7. Lay Bankz - Tell Ur Girlfriend

8. Raye - Genesis, Pt. II

9. Henry Moodie - Drunk Text

10. Isabel LaRosa - Favorite (DEBUT)

11. Gracie Abrams - Close To You

12. Tyla/Gunna/Skillibeng - Jump

13. Myles Smith - Stargazing

14. Teddy Swims - Hammer To The Heart

15. Halsey - The End

16. Knox - Change Your Mind

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay: I've also been hearing this song a lot on The Highway. Although I wish Hits 1 would pick up Save Me, but as far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Save Me, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Jelly Roll's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Isabel LaRosa - Favorite: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Now, in case you remember 2 years ago, she had a Hit Bound dropout called I'm Yours, and that was a song that I enjoyed back then. And now she's back. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song and it's actually a step up from I'm Yours. With my opinion on this song, the reggae production was so phenomenal and fun, Isabel's vocals were super incredible, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
