This week wound up decent but only decent in terms of the new entries and there's a new entry in the top ten that I am incredibly excited to talk about so let's dive right into this top ten where of course K-Pop Demon Hunters kept hold of number one courtesy of "Golden", it's got strength on streaming, sales and even on Youtube, it looks a comfortable chart leader right now.
All of that makes impossible for "Daisies' by Justin Bieber to retake the top spot as it remains stuck at number two, the same goes for former chart topper "Ordinary" by Alex Warren although I can see this having a slow exit from the chart.
Then we get to our new entry at number four "The Subway" by Chappell Roan, now this is not going to stay high especially as it already slipping off it's streaming highs.
However it's arrival did push "Your Idol" from K-Pop Demon Hunters back to number five and "Soda Pop" back one to number six.
Diving down one is "No Broke Boys' by Disco Lines and Tinashe at number seven. I really hope we see the end of this song in the top ten soon, Tinashe is too talented to let this nonsense be her biggest hit.
We're back to K-Pop Demon Hunters with "How It's Done" down one to number eight while Sombr's "Back to Friends" slipped one to number nine (more Sombr later)
Returning to K-Pop Demon Hunters as "What It Sounds Like" climbed two places to number ten.
Gains
Not much in the way of gains this week but we did see "Something in the Orange" rebound seven spots to number thirty five while the increasingly annoying "Nice to Each Other" by Olivia Dean climbed six to forty four.
Re-Entries
So we did see four re-entries with the best in quality of those being "I Remember Everything" by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves at forty five , "Mr Brightside" by The Killers at forty nine, "Sailor Song" by Gigi Perez at forty eight and most unfortunately "Mystical Magical" at forty seven.
Losers
Crowded Hpuse were the biggest fallers this week with "Don't Dream It's Over" down ten to thirty two but it is the only song from the Triple J's Hottest 100 Australian songs to see a second week in the top fifty.
"Just Keep Watching" by Tate McRae saw people turning off so its down nine to twenty seven while "Which One?" by Drake and Central Cee proved it's a nothingburger of a song down six to twenty two.
Drop Outs
So the drop outs this week were mostly songs that returned last week as a result of the Triple J Hottest 100 Australian songs with "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS, "The Nosebleed Section" by Hilltop Hoods, "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, "Sweet Disposition" by The Temper Trap, "My Happiness" by Powderfinger and "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye and Kimbra.
The other exit outside of songs from the countdown was "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac.
New Entries
Three new entries this week, beginning with...
41. "Takedown" by Twice
This is yet another version of the same song from K-Pop Demon Hunters and honestly I still do not care for the song at all, it's still this curdled trap infused nightmare that I really don't want to keep on talking about so yeah, keeping it short, sweet and moving on...
23. "12 to 12" by Sombr
We finally got a date for Sombr's debut album which has felt long in coming considering the success of both "Back to Friends" and "Undressed", you'd think his label would want to capitalise on the public appetite for Sombr by giving the public an album by the only big new pop act in 2025 even though "We Never Dated" didn't chart but "12 to 12" did and this is a sharpened disco banger where you can tell tbe edges are starting to become more curdled like in the 70s, now sure the content is pretty much subject material that Sombr has been over before... a relationship break up and all of that but my god, this song is just so damn good that I can look past how repetitive it is. Check this out.
4. "The Subway" by Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan is back with a song that she has been performing live for the last two years but wanted to make sure the song sounded as close to the live version in the studio as possible before she released it and wel...it might be one of the best songs in any genre of music to hit the charts this year. Chappell gives a compelling vocal perforamance, one of her best to date wuth the song being about this mystery girl with green hair and beauty mark on the subway who Chappell very briefly makes a connection with but this young woman who stole Chappell's heart very quickly moves on leaving any lasting connection behind and Chappell heartbroken. It's a damn great song and one of the best of the year. Make it a hit.
It's also the best of the week but damn it was a close fight because "12 to 12" by Sombr is also excellent.
Worst of the week falls out easily as that's going to "Takedown" by Twice. Twice are capable of better than this shit.
