AT40: Sabrina Carpenter (1) Week Of September 14, 2024

So I've now been blogging for 7 years since yesterday has marked the 7-year anniversary of this blog, which was actually so exciting. Anyway. As far as the countdown goes, I thought that it looks so amazing. We do have yet another brand new #1 song on there which was always a nice thing to see, and we also have some more interesting debuts this week. But like always, I'm gonna get to them later on in this post. But other than that, I don't have anything else to say here, so let's get to it!

This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm so pleased to see Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile (+12) take the biggest jump. It sure has been gaining lots of airplay on the pop radio charts throughout the week. What a big week for them! Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 20 very soon.

I'm not too thrilled about Isabel LaRosa - Favorite (-11) taking the biggest drop after taking the biggest jump last week. Why would it do that? This does not deserve to take it! But I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

Shawn Mendes - Why Why Why: This was actually his first appearance on there since When You're Gone back in 2022. Gosh, I've actually been waiting for him to come back in 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 What The Hell Are We Dying For. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Shawn's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nice, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how this one does on there.

Jimin - Who: The best debut this week. Of course you all might remember him when he had that Hit Bound dropout last year called Angel Pt. 2, which was a song that I've actually enjoyed back then, but not Pt. 1 even though it was decent for me. But now we have his first solo song on there. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Jimin's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so 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. Chappell Roan - Good Luck, Babe!: It debuted the Top 5 this week and now this is her first ever Top 5 song on there. I'm so pleased to see it in there and I'm sure hoping that it should go to the Top 3 soon.

4. Sabrina Carpenter - Espresso: I'm pleased that it's still in the Top 5, but again I'm sure this song is going to be out of here sometime soon. But let's see what happens next.

3. Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy): I'd somehow like this song to stay in the Top 3 for at least a couple more weeks, but I'm sure this might get out of here very soon.

2. Tommy Richman - MILLION DOLLAR BABY: It dropped out of the top spot. But it still had a nice time in there last week. But I'm sure this is going to be out of the Top 3 very soon.

1. Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please: I'm so pleased to see this song at the top spot. Gosh, nothing can really stop her from becoming so popular on there. Now, let's see how long it'll hold the spot.
