BIGGEST RISE
(Tie) +7
Camila Cabello - Consequences (#33-#26)
Panic! At The Disco - High Hopes (#21-#14)

BIGGEST FALL
DJ Khaled/Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer (#13-#38) -25

The 3 songs under the top 30 that needs to go:
39 Lauv - I Like Me Better (45 weeks in)
38 DJ Khaled / Justin Bieber/Quavo/Chance The Rapper - No Brainer (40 weeks in)

35 Zedd / Maren Morris & Grey - The Middle (39 weeks in)

New Entries:
Loud Luxury/brando - Body
The first of two new debuts comes from a new EDM duo Loud Luxury and vocalist brando... Been hearing this a lot on Music Choice and this is a beat thumping tune that works to a degree... This can challenge for a top 10 spot

Post Malone / Swae Lee - Sunflower
This somg featured in the upcoming animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse..The vocals from Post and Swae sounds ok along with the production....Should stick around for a while

Best Debut: Loud Luxury/brando - Body

Breakouts/On The  Verge:
* Dean Lewis - Be Alright
* Alessa Cara - Trust My Lonely
* Kahlid - Better

Extras/Optional Extras:
* Weezer - Africa
* Lukas Graham - 7 Years
* Sam Smith - Too Good At Goodbyes
* The Weeknd & Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me
* Sabrina Carpenter - Almost Love
* Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass
* Charlie Puth - The Way I Am
* Jason Derulo & David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj & Willi William - Goodbye
* Major Lazer featuring Justin Bieber & MØ - Cold Water
* Big Boi - All Night
* Ed Sheeran - Photograph

Blurb Up The Volume:
* Glad both Never Be The Same and Taste..the former was way overdue to leave after 43 weeks in the countdown...the latter just bad...

* No Brainer became the 2nd largest drop in the countdown history without exiting (-25 ... #13-#38)...only Damn Yankees' Where You Goin' Now dropped more in 1993 (-26...#12-#38)

* Consequences (#33-#26) and High Hopes (#21-#14) moved 7 notches this week to be the Biggest Risers...The latter will move in the top 10 next week

* God Is A Woman stays at #1 for its 2nd week... way it looks that it'll stay at the top spot til Happier gets it 2-3 weeks later

* Ryan mentions this tidbits during the show
  **Halsey was crying during the recording of Without Me, a song about her breakup of her and G-Easy, the collab partner of Him And I.... bet its the reason her voice suffered in it

  **Dua Lipa's ideas of storylines in her songs "feels like she's writing from a diary"... Oh really??

 **hope the Bebe Rexha/Camila Cabello collab doesn't happen..hate to hear what it sounds like.... 

* Upset that the two worst songs in the top 20 (I'm A Mess and Lucid Dreams) is straying around too long ..hope both starts to drop significantly
