This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super pleased to see David Guetta/Alphaville/Ava Max - Forever Young (+8) take the biggest jump. This totally deserves to gain more airplay this week! Now, hopefully this should be in the Top 10 pretty soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see LISA - Moonlit Floor (-6) take the biggest drop. Why would it lose some airplay this week? This does not deserve to do that! But I'm sure this is going to be the end of it.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Marshmello/Jonas Brothers - Slow Motion: So they have collaborated for the second time since Leave Before You Love Me back in 2021, and of course that was a song that I really enjoyed back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song. Though definitely not as good as Leave Before You Love Me, but it's actually a step up from Jonah Marais's song of the same title. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, the Jonas Brothers's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see how far this one gets on there.

Teddy Swims - Guilty: Since Bad Dreams is in the Top 10 on there, we now have this song debuting on there this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. But definitely not as good as Bad Dreams or Are You Even Real, but it's still amazing. With my opinion on this song, the production was so amazing, Teddy's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see how far this goes on there.

Tate McRae - Sports Car: The best countdown debut this week. And I've noticed that this song actually samples the Pussycat Dolls's 2005 hit song Buttons, which was actually super interesting because this song is really giving me the vibes of 2000's pop. As far as the song goes, it's absolutely a heavenly song and it's definitely the best song that I've ever heard from her. It's definitely a huge step up from 2 Hands and all of her other songs. With my opinion on this one, the production was so heavenly, Tate's vocals were super heavenly, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. This is definitely going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year. Hopefully this should do amazing on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem: Can we please not let this song move down? I really want to see it come back to the Top 3. But hopefully it'll be back in there very soon.

4. Gracie Abrams - That's So True: I'm glad to see this song move up. Now, can we please let this song get to the Top 3 next week? I'm sure hoping that it should do it.

3. Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the top spot. But I'm really hoping that it should be in there very soon.

2. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Gosh, this song sure has been hanging in the Top 3 for a while. But I'm sure this is going to be out of here within the next week or so.

1. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: Holding the top spot for the 4th week in a row. Wow, how on Earth has this song been doing on there? I'm sure this is going to end up being her biggest hit song in her career. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

The Weeknd - Cry For Me: So he has dropped his new album Hurry Up Tomorrow yesterday, and now we have one of the songs from it making it's debut 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 if this should be on the countdown soon.

Jennie/Dominic Fike - Love Hangover: We've now picked up another single from her after Mantra didn't do so well on the countdown last year. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song. But definitely not as good as Mantra, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Jennie's vocals were super phenomenal, Dominic's vocals in his verse were also super phenomenal, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Nessa Barrett - Love Looks Pretty On You: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. Since Pins And Needles dropped out of here last week, we've now picked up yet another single from her. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Pins And Needles. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Nessa's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was super heavenly. Hopefully this will make the countdown soon.

Morgan Wallen - I'm The Problem: He replaces himself on there this week. Although I actually wish that Smile would've made it on the countdown. But as far as this new song goes, it's definitely another amazing song and it's actually a step up from Smile. With my opinion, the production was so amazing, Morgan's vocals were super amazing, the lyrics were so remarkable, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Vella - All My Love: It's actually super weird to see this song Sunday Bested last week and then come back in there this week. I remember the last time that happened was back in 2022 when Until I Found You from Stephen Sanchez did the same thing. So this was actually the second song to do that. But hopefully this should come back to the countdown very soon.

Kendrick Lamar - Squabble Up: We've now picked up a new single from him since we're going to be seeing him at the Super Bowl Halftime Show next week which I'm so looking forward to seeing. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal and fun song. But definitely not as good as Not Like Us, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Kendrick's vocals were so phenomenal, the lyrics were so interesting, and the chorus was super phenomenal. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

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 I've been enjoying that song back then. As far as this new 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. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.
