This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see Rose - Toxic Till The End, Koe Wetzel/Jessie Murph - High Road and Lola Young - Messy (+6) all take the biggest jumps this week. They all totally deserves to take them! What an amazing week it has been for all of them!

Charli XCX - Apple (-6) sure has been losing lots of airplay recently. I actually expected it to take the biggest drop and I'm sure it's going to be out of here very soon.

New Song/s on the AT40 this week are:

TWICE/Megan Thee Stallion - Strategy: I've actually known this K-Pop girl group band because I've heard The Feels a few years ago which they should've picked up because that was a fun song. And now, they have their first ever appearance on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from The Feels. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, the girls from TWICE sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, the chorus was so heavenly, and Megan's rapping in her verse was super phenomenal. Let's see how far this gets on there.

Sexyy Red/Bruno Mars - Fat Juicy & Wet: The best debut this week. I know Hits 1 actually calls it "Fat Juicy &", which was actually so funny. But I'd rather call it by the original name instead. And now she has made her first ever appearance on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, both Sexyy Red and Bruno sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Kane Brown/Katelyn Brown - Body Talk: So him and his wife collaborated for the second time since Thank God back in 2023, and of course that was a song that I've been enjoying back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Thank God. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, both Kane and Katelyn sound super phenomenal, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this one goes on there.

The Weeknd - Cry For Me: So he has dropped his new album Hurry Up Tomorrow 3 weeks ago, and now we have one of the songs from it debuting on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Timeless. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Abel's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were so miraculous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how this one does on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Myles Smith - Stargazing: Yeah I'm sure this song is officially on it's way out of here. I know it has been in the Top 5 for a while so I'm sure next week it'll be out of here.

4. Gracie Abrams - That's So True: I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 5. And this was actually her first Top 5 song on there which was actually super amazing. Now, hopefully it'll get in the Top 3 very soon.

3. Sabrina Carpenter - Taste: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3, but again I'm sure this is going to be out of here very soon. Maybe it might be it's last week in there.

2. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Yeah I'm sure this song might stay in the Top 3 for at least a few more weeks or so. But maybe it might drop out of here very soon. Let's see what happens next.

1. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. Gosh, this song sure has been getting super popular on pop radio recently. I'm so pleased to see this song still in there. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.
