This Week's Mover and Shaker:

Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay (+5) has started to gain some airplay on the pop radio charts this week. What a week for him! I'm so pleased to see it take the biggest jump. And I'm sure hoping that this should go to the Top 20 soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see Myles Smith - Stargazing (-8) take the biggest drop all the way out of the Top 10 from the Top 5. Why would it do that? This does not deserve it! But hopefully it'll move back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Billie Eilish - Wildflower: Since Birds Of A Feather hit the Top 5, we now have this song making it's debut on there this week. But I gotta say, this is just another decent song. Though not as decent as Birds Of A Feather, but it's still decent. With my opinion, the production still sounds amazing, but again Billie's vocals still sound childish. But the lyrics were still very nicely-written and I'd say the chorus was decent. So yeah, this is another decent song overall. Let's see how this one does on there.

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine: I'm super duper pleased to see this song come back on there this week. I've actually been waiting for this to happen, and thank goodness it's finally back. Now, hopefully this should do better on it's second run on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Taylor Swift - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart: It debuted the Top 5 this week. I'm so pleased to see it in there. Gosh, she really has been having lots of Top 5 songs on there. Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 3 very soon.

4. Post Malone/Morgan Wallen - I Had Some Help: It dropped out of the Top 3 which I'm actually fine with. But I know it has been in there for long so I'm sure it's about to be on it's way out of here.

3. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. And I'm sure this is going to end up hitting the top spot very soon. Hopefully I'm right.

2. Billie Eilish - Birds Of A Feather: I'm fine with this song moving back up to this spot, but again I don't think this song is ever going to hit the top spot. But maybe it'll drop out of here very soon.

1. Chappell Roan - Hot To Go!: Holding the top spot for the 2nd week in a row. I'm so pleased that it's still in there. However I'm sure another song might take over the top spot within the next week or so, but let's see if it'll stay in there or not.

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

1. Myles Smith - Wait For You

2. Jennie - Mantra (DEBUT)

3. Henry Moodie - Good Old Days

4. Hayes Warner - ZIP (DEBUT)

5. Kylie Minogue - Lights Camera Action

6. Knox - Invisible

7. LISA - Moonlit Floor

8. Ava Max - Spot A Fake

9. Damiano David/Labrinth - Silverlines

10. Halsey - I Never Loved You (DEBUT)

11. Alex Warren - Burning Down

12. Balu Brigada - So Cold

13. Dasha - Bye Bye Bye

14. Jelly Roll/Halsey - Take A Bow (DEBUT)

15. Jon Bellion - Kid Again

16. Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Jennie - Mantra: That is so interesting that we have 2 members of Blackpink having a song on Hit Bound this week. And I know the last time we heard from her was One Of The Girls with The Weeknd when it was on the AT40. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Jennie'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.

Hayes Warner - ZIP: What I've noticed that this song is that it's actually streaming on platforms which was actually a good thing. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Predator, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on it, the production was super amazing, Hayes's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were very interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Halsey - I Never Loved You: She actually has 2 songs debuting on there with the last one being a guest appearance. But let's get to this one first. As far as this new song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Ego, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Halsey's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Jelly Roll/Halsey - Take A Bow: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. So he has dropped a new album yesterday and now we have one of the songs from it making it's debut on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and it's actually a step up from I Am Not Okay. With my opinion on this song, the production was super phenomenal, Jelly Roll's vocals were so heavenly, Halsey's vocals in the second verse were super heavenly, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was super heavenly. Here's to hoping that this will make the countdown soon.
