This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please (+9) sure has been gaining some airplay throughout the week. I'm so pleased to see it do that. Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 20 next week.

I'm not too thrilled about Marshmello/Kane Brown - Miles On It and Benson Boone - Slow It Down (-5) taking the biggest drops. They both don't deserve it! But I'm sure hoping that they should move back up sometime soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Coldplay - Feelslikeimfallinginlove: The best countdown debut this week. They have finally made their big return on there since My Universe with BTS back in 2021 and that was my #1 song of the year back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an extremely heavenly song. But definitely not as good as My Universe, but it's still heavenly. With my opinion on this song, the production was super heavenly, Chris's vocals were extremely heavenly, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 5 Songs of the year. Hopefully it'll become a hit on there.

Gracie Abrams - Close To You: So apparently she wrote part of this song 7 years ago but she has finished it about a few weeks ago. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a little bit of a step up from Risk. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Gracie's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so miraculous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Mark Ambor - Belong Together: I've noticed that this song has actually went viral on TikTok before it was released which was actually super interesting. And now he has made his first ever countdown appearance this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an 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 how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Eminem - Houdini: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the Top 3. But I'm sure hoping that it should do it next week.

4. Post Malone/Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help: I'm fine with this song dropping out of the Top 3. But yeah I don't think this song is ever going to hit the top spot. But I'm sure it might be out of here sometime soon.

3. Dua Lipa - Illusion: Yeah I'm not sure if this song is going to move up and get to the top spot, but I'm sure it's going to be out of the Top 3 very soon.

2. Hozier - Too Sweet: I'm super pleased to see it back in the Top 3. But I'm sure this is definitely not coming back to the top spot. But I'd really like it to stay in the Top 3 for at least a few more weeks.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm super duper pleased that it's still in there. And yes, I really would like it to stay in there for a while. Let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Raye - Genesis, Pt. II (RE-ENTRY)

2. Knox - Treadmill (DEBUT)

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Raye - Genesis, Pt. II: I'm so pleased to see it come back on there. I actually didn't expect it to happen though. Now, let's see if this song should have another shot to be on the countdown soon.

Knox - Treadmill: Since Change Your Mind dropped out of Hit Bound last week, we've now picked up a new single from him on there this week. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Change Your Mind. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Knox's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Here's to hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.

Ashe - Running Out Of Time: She has made her return on there after 2 years off of making new music. Well I was actually expecting her to come back on there, and now she's finally back. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Ashe's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Crash Adams - Hotel Party: What I've noticed about this song is that Mikey Piff compared this to a cross between an LMFAO or Maroon 5 song, which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun bop and it actually reminds me of Kissing Strangers from DNCE and Nicki Minaj, in which Zestpond compared this song to that. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, the vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so epic, and the chorus was so heavenly and super fun. Hopefully it'll be on the countdown soon.

LISA - Rockstar: In case you remember, she had a Hit Bound dropout 3 years ago called Money, and of course that was a song that I enjoyed back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Money. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Lisa's vocals were super marvelous, I'm definitely a huge fan of the lyrics, and the chorus was so heavenly and I really enjoyed it. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Camila Cabello/Drake - Hot Uptown: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. So she has dropped CXOXO yesterday, and now we have another one of the songs from the album debuting on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song. With my opinion on this song, the production was super phenomenal, both Camila and Drake sound so heavenly, the lyrics were super duper nicely-written, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully it'll make the countdown soon.

KATSEYE - Debut: We have another international girl group making their debut on there which was actually fitting because that's actually the name of the song which was super interesting. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, the girls sounds super phenomenal, the lyrics were so marvelous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

The Kid Laroi - Girls: This is yet another decent song. There really isn't anything interesting to say about this song. Though I could say that this song wasn't as decent as Too Much, but it's still decent. With my opinion on this song, the production still sounds amazing here, but again Laroi's vocals don't sound good here. But the lyrics were still so nicely-written and the chorus was decent. But yeah, this is just a decent song overall. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.
