This Week's Mover and Shaker:

I'm super duper pleased to see Tate McRae - Sports Car (+10) take the biggest jumps to the Top 10 this week. This totally deserves to take it! What a phenomenal week it has been for her! Now, hopefully it'll go to the Top 5 soon.

I'm not too thrilled to see The Weeknd/Playboi Carti - Timeless (-11) take the biggest drop. How could it do that? This can't be happening! But I'm sure hoping that it should move back up soon.

New Song/s on the countdown this week are:

Dasha - Not At This Party: I've been hearing this song a lot on The Highway. And of course she has made her return on the countdown since Austin last year which was super amazing. I've actually been waiting for her to come back on there, and now here it is. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion on this song, the production was so incredible, Dasha's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were so miraculous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should do well on there.

Role Model - Sally, When The Wine Runs Out: The best countdown debut this week. And this was actually the first song that I really love from him because I've been hating his other singles that were on there back then. And of course I've been hearing this song a lot on Alt Nation. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and it's definitely the best song that I've ever heard from him. It's definitely a humongous step up from all of his other songs. With my opinion on this song, the production was so heavenly, Role Model's vocals were super heavenly and so much better, 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 it'll become a hit on there.

Benson Boone - Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else: He has made his return on the countdown after Pretty Slowly didn't do so well on there last year. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Pretty Slowly. With my opinion, the production was super amazing, Benson'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.

Lizzo - Love In Real Life: She's finally back after 2 years of not making any new music which was super amazing. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Special, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal and it actually gives me Prince vibes, Lizzo's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were super nicely-written, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see how far this goes on there.

My Opinions/My Thoughts On The Top 5:

5. Sabrina Carpenter - Bed Chem: I'm still waiting for this song to move up and get to the Top 3. Come on, this seriously needs to get going!

4. Lady Gaga/Bruno Mars - Die With A Smile: Well thank goodness it's finally out of the Top 3. I know it's been in there for quite a long time. But I'd somehow like it to stay in the Top 5 for at least a couple more weeks or so.

3. Rose/Bruno Mars - APT.: I'm glad that it's still in the Top 3, but I'm sure this is going to hang around in there for a while because of how well it did at the top spot. Let's see how long it'll remain in there.

2. Gracie Abrams - That's So True: It's almost at the top spot! I'm so pleased to see this song in the Top 3. Though I'm not sure if it'll be in the top spot, but I'm really hoping that it should do it soon.

1. Chappell Roan - Pink Pony Club: Holding the top spot for the 3rd week in a row. The Pink Pony Club still remains open as of this week, or should I call it the Pinkie Pie Club although I don't like My Little Pony, but I was just being silly LOL. Gosh, this song sure has been getting so popular on there recently. Now, let's see if it'll stay in there next week or not.

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

1. Ashley Cooke/Joe Jonas - All I Forgot

2. Lady Gaga - Garden Of Eden (DEBUT)

16. Justice/Tame Impala - Neverender

New Song/s on Hit Bound this week are:

Lady Gaga - Garden Of Eden: So she has just released her new album MAYHEM, 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. But definitely not as good as Abracadabra, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on this song, the production was so phenomenal, Gaga's vocals were super phenomenal, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a huge fan of, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this will make the countdown soon.

Almost Monday - Can't Slow Down: Well I didn't expect this song to come back on there. But I'm somehow glad to see that happen. Now, let's see if it'll have another chance to be on the countdown soon.

Jennie/Dua Lipa - Handlebars: So she has released her first ever album Ruby, and now she once again replaces herself on there. As far as the song goes, it's definitely another phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from ExtraL. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Jennie's vocals were super phenomenal, Dua's vocals were super incredible in her contribution, the lyrics were so marvelous, and the chorus was so heavenly. Let's see if it'll be on the countdown soon.

Doechii - Anxiety: The best Hit Bound entrant this week. And what I've noticed about this song is that it actually samples Gotye and Kimbra's 2012 hit song Somebody That I Used To Know, mostly because it uses the same melody. And of course the song was originally posted on her YouTube channel back in 2019, but now she has officially released it a few days ago. Now, Somebody That I Used To Know was actually in my Top 10 Songs of 2012 in case you remember when I reviewed it on my 2010's Billboard Hot 100 Decade-End Chart from a few years ago because that song was heavenly. So I was really looking forward to giving this song a first listen and it turns out, this has got to be the best song that I've ever heard from her. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a heavenly song and it's definitely a humongous step up from Denial Is A River and all of her other singles. With my opinion on this song, the production and samples were so heavenly, Doechii's vocals were super heavenly, the lyrics were definitely what I'm a humongous fan of, and the chorus was extremely heavenly. And since Somebody That I Used To Know was in my Top 10 Songs of 2012, this new song is definitely going to end up in my Top 10 Songs of the year as well but only when it makes the countdown. Hopefully it'll be in there very soon.

Ryann - Dirty: So I've found out that she's apparently a songwriter for Dua Lipa and The Chainsmokers which was interesting, and now she has made her Hits 1 debut this week. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song and it's actually a step up from Jessie Murph and Teddy Swims's song of the same title from last year. With my opinion on this one, the production was so phenomenal, Ryann'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.

Cil - You're A Liar (You Love Me): Gosh, Hits 1 sure has been picking up debut singles from random newcomers recently. And of course when I gave this song a first listen, I've actually found her yet to be another talented singer which I think is so amazing. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. With my opinion, the production was so phenomenal, Cil's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super interesting, and the chorus was so heavenly. Hopefully this should be on the countdown soon.

Daniel Seavey - Lose Me Like You Mean It: We have another member from Why Don't We making solo music which was so cool. As far as the song goes, it's definitely an amazing song. With my opinion on it, the production was so amazing, Daniel's vocals were super amazing like Jonah Marais and Corbyn Besson sounded in their solo songs, the lyrics were so nicely-written, and the chorus was so phenomenal. Let's see if this should be on the countdown soon.

Imogen Heap - Headlock: This song was actually released in 2005 but this was actually her first ever appearance on there which was super interesting. If you guys didn't know, Jason Derulo sampled one of her other songs Hide And Seek in his song Whatcha Say back in 2009, and I've been enjoying it back then. As far as the song goes, it's definitely a phenomenal song. But definitely not as good as Hide And Seek, but it's still phenomenal. With my opinion on it, the production was so phenomenal, Imogen's vocals were super incredible, the lyrics were super remarkable, and the chorus was so heavenly. Here's to hoping that it should be on the countdown soon.
