ARIA Singles top ten/Chart review: 6th May. Taylor misses out on number one

So the school of thought I had about Taylor Swift debuting at number one with her new single turned out to be thoroughly misconcieved because there's been a somewhat cooler than expected response to the new song with Brendon Urie and with what's coming the signs for Taylor going number one are starting to seem kind of grim

But as it was, "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X remained at number one for another week but suddenly things are starting to look a little shaky for it as the remix with Billy Ray Cyrus fell away hard this week and with Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber collab being released tomorrow, this could very well be Lil Nas X last week at number one.

So yeah, "ME!" by Taylor Swift feat. Panic! At the Disco's Brendon Urie is the highest debut of the week at number two and yeah, I'm sorry but I don't see this going to number one if you look the streaming figures and the fact Ed Sheerand and Justin Bieber are probably about to release one of the biggest songs of the year so far.

A song that may have a shot at returning to the top spot though is "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish which because of Taylor Swift got pushed back to number three, it's still doing well on streaming and could take number one back if streams continue to fall off for 'Old Town Road".

"Me!" pushed Dominic Fike's still pretty awful "3 Nights" back to number 4 and "Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure back to number 5. Honestly I really hope both these songs are gone sooner rather than later.

"Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee continues to have a suprising amount of longevity in remaining at number 6 this week but it could well be vulnerable to likely two top ten debuts next week while Post Malone's second top ten hit 'Wow" also remains at number 7.

It was total collapse for "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers down four places to number eight while "SOS" by Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc slipped one place to number nine.

UK chart topper Lewis Capaldi rounds out the top ten with "Someone You Loved" at number ten.


Gainers

So it's most positive news on this front ront this week, while I am not happy that "Earth' rose from 46 to 17 this week to be the biggest gainer. (Seriously, there are songs that send the message about climate change than a song that is covered in way too many bad sex jokes to be taken seriously) but it also meant "Good Lord" by Birds of Tokyo got a good jump from 25 to into the top twenty at 19 and "Mess Her Up" by Amy Shark up four places off the debut last week to number 40 and both of the latter songs are pretty excellent

The album dropping meant Pink's lead single from it "Walk Me Home" is up from 20 to 13.

Losers

The biggest loser this week was George Ezra's "Shotgun" which fell from 35 to 47 this weekend, honestly while I like the song, I think it is time, "Shotgun and also "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer shifted out.

"Dancing with a Stranger" by Sam Smith and Normani also tumbled hard down to 21 from 12. Ouch. That song will make the year end list so I am not worried about it.

"Waiting" by Kian also took a tumble from 41 to 34...it's one of those songs that may or may not make the year list.

"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper dropped from 15 to 23 as it finally appears to be on the way out.


Drop Outs

Two big drop outs this week but I can't say I am sad to see either of them gone because both suck with them being "Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott and Drake and "Bad Liar' by Imagine Dtagons.

The other two songs out of the top 50 are  are "Kill This Love" by Blackpink and "My Bad" by Khalid

New Entries

So outside of Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie's "ME!" at number two, we had three other new entries this week with the best of those being Game of Thrones collab "Power is Power" by SZA frat. The Weeknd and Travis Scott at number 30.

The US got "Love Me Anyway" by Pink feat. Chris Stapleton to chart but instead Australia decided to give a chart spot to the Pink album title track "Hurts 2 B Human" feat. Khalid in at number 48.

Finally "Paradise" by Bazzi is the last of the new entries at number 50.

So yeah I am expecting another couple of shake ups to the top ten over the next few weeks with Shawn Mendes plus Logic feat. Eminem both releasing songs that will likely debut very high on the ARIA chart when it's released on Saturday at 5pm AEST.

Charting 1996: May 5th. Big new entry masks a fairly normal week.

So this week saw plenty of new entries and some interesting things bubbling on the horizon and potentially heading toward the top ten speaking of which let's get to that because it is interesting this week...just not at number one which is held by "How Bizarre" by OMC for another week but right behind it is a new entry for George Michael at number two with "Fastlove". 

The arrival of "Fastlove" pushed "Father and Son" by Boyzone back to number three while "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette is now a top 5 hit after it surged up two places to number four (excellent, I really like that song).

"Missing" by Everything But the Girl dropped two places to number five as did "California Love" by 2Pac feat Dr Dre down to number six. 3T also dropped two places to number seven with "Anything" while "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo slipped one place to number eight.

"Salvation" by The Cranberries went up to number nine pushing "Power of a Woman" by Eternal back to number ten.

Gains

Michael Jackson is one of the big gainers this week with "They Don't Care About Us" up 13 places to number 20 off the songs debut last week. Also up off the debut last week is "Children" by Robert Miles which went up nine places to 34 and Spacehog's "In the Meantime" up eight places to 40.

DJ Darren Briais is up nine places to 22 with "I Feel It" feat. Peewee Ferris, 

Losers

Deep Bliue Something's top ten hit "Breakfast At Tiffanys" is on the way out having dropped ten places from 34 to 44 while it was an even bigger drop for former chart topper "Boombastic" by Shaggy which dropped from 27 to 42.

Speaking of former chart toppers, "Wonderwall" by Oasis dropped eleven places from 28 to 39, Ouch.

Just when it looked like it had some momentum, "Got it Goin' On" by Human Nature dropped from 19 to 25 while "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States slipped hard from 15 to 21.

New Entries

George Michael has the biggest new entry of the week with "Fastlove" debuting at number two but outside that? Well, there is Triple X's 'The X-Files Theme" new in at number 35 and "Hello Space Boy" by David Bowie which enters at number 37.

Finally turning up on the Australian charts after being a hit elsewhere around the world is "Nobody Knows" by The Tony Rich Project at number 46 and finally Bush have a new single entering the chart at number 50 called "Glycerine.

Let's check out the US and UK top 5's

UK Singles top 5 (Offical Chart Company)

In the United Kingdom, it's a second week at number one for George Michael with "Fastlove" with Mark Morrison holding on at number two with "Return of the Mack"

It's all steady in the top three with Gina G's "Ooh Ahh...just a little bit" staying at number three however "Cecilia" by Suggs and Louchie Lou/Michie One is up one place to number four.

Finally, rounding out the UK top 5 is a new entry from rock act Blur with "Charmless Man" in at number five.

US Singles top 5 (Billboard Hot 100)

Mariah Carey finally has another US number one with "Always Be My Baby" finally hitting the top spot this week, it pushed "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion back to number two after six weeks at number one.

The rest of the top 5 remains unchanged though with "Nobody Knows" by The Tony Rich Project at number three, "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette at number four and Coolio's "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" at number 5.

So that wraps up the week, I have no idea what's going to happen next, I suspect there's a chance "Fastlove' could take the number one from "How Bizarre" but we'll find out next week. 

Domestic Violence is too big to just simply be a mistake, Justin.

This isn't very musical but it involves music stars and as this is serious, I won't be mucking around too much especially as we are dealing with the issue of domestic violence which Justin Bieber has somehow managed to claim on Instagram that Chris Brown only made a mistake when he assaulted Rihanna in 2009 despite Brown's history of violence against women since the Rihanna incident.

Let me make this very clear now, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHOULD NEVER BE REDUCED TO A SIMPLE MISTAKE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A CRIME THAT COSTS LIVES, RUINS FAMILIES AND DESTROYS COMMUNITIES. IT'S IMPACTS ARE TOO BIG TOO SIMPLY BE A MISTAKE.

So I wrote Justin a little something...I doubt he'll read it but hey, I do have hope. 

Dear Justin Bieber,

I am sad that I have to write this letter but it’s a case where you have so many young fans that are influenced by what you say on social media be it on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram that I couldn’t let your Instagram post about Chris Brown slide especially the bit about his assault of Rihanna being a ‘mistake’.

A mistake is something like burning the food, turning the TV off at the socket instead of turning off the vacuum cleaner or even wetting your pants, things that are embarrassing but can be fixed easily enough and you learn from them however domestic violence is not just simply a ‘mistake’ especially when it has serious and traumatic consequences for the victim who will likely live with the physical, emotional and mental trauma of that assault for the REST OF THEIR LIVES if they haven’t been murdered by their abuser.

Domestic violence can also trigger drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and not to mention creates an environment of fear within a family that can have consequences of breaking up a family and destroying whole communities.

You were saying bullying is not okay, well, bullying is a method abusers use to isolate the victim 

Now you know the impact of domestic violence, let’s talk about your mate Chris Brown and systematically go through his record because its MORE THAN ONCE that he has been violent toward women. There’s even a Rolling Stone timeline of his abuse of women which only goes as far as 2016, here it is for your own perusal: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/timeline-of-chris-browns-history-of-violence-towards-women-103402/club-shove-june-2013-103999/

Oh and last year, Brown was arrested for assaulting a photographer in a nightclub in 2017.

Justin, Brown might have a whole load of musical ability but his record as an abusive human being speaks more than any talent he might have and really given the women in your life, you should know better than to claim that committing abusive behaviour is a mistake because its not, domestic violence costs lives and communities and it makes me sad to see that, even despite being loved by so many teenage girls who will enter (hopefully) loving relationships and being married to a young woman, that you are enabling an abuser like Chris Brown.

Hopefully one day, you’ll understand this, Justin, and re-think your posts praising Chris Brown.

ARIA Singles top ten/Chart Review 29th April: Quiet week as Lil Dicky returns

So let's be honest this week was one of the quietest weeks of the year apart from some minor shifting within the top ten and just two new entries.

Lil Nas X spends a second week at number one and normally I would say that he has a lock on a third week but with Taylor Swift's new song set to likely challenge for number one so it's really turning into a numbers game.

Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" stays where it is at number two as Eilish's album "When We all Fall asleep, where do we go" returned to the top of the ARIA album chart.

Dominic Fike's "3 Nights" climbed two places to number three given some strong streaming, it effectively pushed "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers back to number four and "Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure back to  number 5.

"Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee regained ground up one place to number 6 switching with Post Malone's other top ten hit "Wow" which went back to number 7.

Arriving in the top ten is Avicii's "SOS" with Aloe Blacc which went up three places to number 8. This song is doing well on sales and looks like it might have traction on streaming. It's one of two songs new to the top ten this week.

"Here with Me" by Marshmello and CHVRCHES remains at number nine.

The second song that is new into the top ten is Lewis Capaldi's "Someone You Loved" which umped three places to reach the top ten at number ten.

Gains

The biggest gain of the week belongs to Birds of Tokyo's "Good Lord" which jumped 11 places to 25 this week.

Happy to see "Woke Up Late" by Drax Project feat. Hailee Steinfeld up six places to 23 and "Exit Sign" by Hilltop  Hoods feat. Ecca Vandal and Illy up five places to 22.

"So Am I" by Ava Max has leapt into the top 20, it's up from 22 to 14. I really am not the biggest fan of this song, it does feel like she's tried to copy the "Sweet But Psycho" formula but it didn't quite work.

"Lovely' by Khalid and Billie Eilish is back in the top 40 up from 42 to 37 while Dean Lewis's "Stay Awake" is up 6 places to 40.

Re-Entry

We have one re-entry this week, just a pity it's Imagine Dragons "Bad Liar"  which returned at number 49. Really, Australia?

Losers

The losers are actually not the worst news this week, the biggest being "My Bad" by Khalid which dropped eleven places to 39 while Khalid's  "Outta My Head" with John May slipped 8 places to 29.  and "Better" slipped 7 places  to 27.

"Kill this Love" by Blackpink slipped even further this week down to 43 from 34 while "Boy with Luv" by BTS featuring Halsey dropped out of the top ten down six places to 16.

Billie Eilish's "Wish You Were Gay" slipped 7 places to 21.

Drop Outs

Three songs fell out this week with two songs belonging to Ariana Grande with "Monopoly" feat. Victoria Monet and former number one "Thank U, Next" finally finding the exit.

Also gone is Khalid's "Saturday Nights" (which is disappointing, that song isn't bad)

New Entries

We got two new entries this week with one being pretty good and the other a slice of cringeworthy awful/ The highest debut going to the better song thankfully that being Amy Shark's "Mess Her Up" (I really wished "The Idiot" had of been the single but anyway) debuting at number 44.

Lil Dicky has rounded up some of the biggest names in music like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande for a song that is allegedly said to be trying to send a message about the effects of climate change but crumbles in its attempted message with stupid and unfunny jokes, did we really need a baboons arse joke, Justin? but regardless, "Earth" debuts at number 46.

On that pretty crappy note, that finishes this week's top ten/chart review. We'll see what Taylor Swift's new song does, it does seem like it's on a trajectory toward a top 3 or top 5 debut, the public's reaction to the song has been weird to say the least, also the fact that Taylor is returning so soon after the Reputation era in 2017.

The chart for the week beginning May 6 is out at 5pm on Saturday.

Charting 1996: April 28th. Boyzone go number two

So this week is a bit of a strange one, it feels like not a lot happened but there was actually a fair bit that happened but we'll get to all that a bit later but let's deal with the issue of the top ten first where for a third week and honestly this could be number one for quite awhile with those sales.

Boyzone continue to surprise as they rise from 3 to 2 with "Father and Son". Honestly I am not a fan of this cover at all. Feels very twee but whatever the case, it pushed this year's longest running number two "Missing" by Everything but the Girl. "Missing" is starting to show signs that it might be ready to leave the top ten.

Australia is stil showing it's "California Love" to 2pac feat Dr Dre as "California Love" rose one place to number four.

The surprise for me is 3T's "Anything" climbed into the top 5 jumping one place to number 5.

A song headed perhaps for higher honours is Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" which leapt up two places to number 6, it's got a pretty solid footing right now, it went past "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo which remained stagnant at number seven.

Joan Osborne slipped hard out of the top five down four places to number eight with her former chart topper "One of Us"/

Finally the last two songs stayed put with Eternal's "Power of a Woman" at number 9 and "Salvation" by The Cranberries at number ten

Gains

The big gains this week came from Human Nature who nab their first top 20 single with "Got It Goin' On" up nine to 19 while La Bouche also break into the top twenty as they are up 14 places to number 20 with "Sweet Dreams (Ola Ola e)"

The weird run of Melissa Etheridge's "I Want to come Over" has continued as it's up 9 places to 29.

"Firestarter" by The Prodigy is up ten places off its debut to 30. No surprise considering it was a UK number one, I expect it to be huge here too.

Losers

Most of the big losers are around the lower reaches of the top 50 and mostly all songs that were losing steam anyway like John Farnham's "Have a Little Faith in Us" which slipped 12 places to 37 and "Hey Lover" by LL Cool J which tumbled hard from 29 to 41.

It was also bad news for CDB's "Don't Stop" which seems to have sputtered out to be the biggest loser of the week dropping 14 places to 46. Ouch!

Bon Jovi's "These Days" drops 9 places to 50.

New Entries


We start the new entries with the biggest new song on the chart being an overseas hit already that being Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us" which entes ths week at 33.. It's then back to Regurgitator's new single 'Kong Foo Song" which enters at 36.

A Swiss born Italian musician and DJ called Robert Miles has landed his first hit on the ARIA singles chart with "Children" at number 45.

Candy Girls feat. Sweet Pussy Pauline are back with "Wham Bam" at number 47 and finally, British rock band Spacehog have trotted in at number 48 with "In the Meantime"

Let's head overseas and check out the UK and US top 5.

United Kingdom (Official Charts)

The UK has a brand new number one and unsurprisingly it comes from George Michael with his new single "Fastlove". Watch for it here because I have a feeling this song might be huge.

"Fastlove' pushed "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison back to number 2. Gina G's "Ooh Aah...Just a Little bit" remains at number 3.

Manic Street Preachers fell back two places to number 4 with "A Design for Life" while "Cecilia" by Suggs and Louchie Lou/Michie One is up one place to number 5.


USA (Billboard Hot 100)

It's a sixth week at number one for Celine Dion with "Because You Loved Me" but she may well havea challenge to get a seventh week because Mariah Carey's "Always Be My Baby" which stayed at number two next week but appears to be an imminent threat for number one.

"Nobody Knows" by The Tony Rich Project and "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette remain where they are at 3 and 4 respectively.

Coolio's "1, 2, 3. 4 (Sumpin New)" jumped one place to reach the top 5 at number 5.

And that brings an end to Charting 1996 for the week.

A Rantish Kind Of Review of AJR's "Neotheater"

I don’t normally do album reviews because I just don’t have the ability to cut apart and explain an album’s arc like other people who put together album reviews but  I just put and pushed myself through quite the nightmarish experience that I never want to go through again with the only solace being on Twitter venting about it during the listen to this album in the hope that NOBODY else will put them through what I did willingly.

The album is from “indie pop” trio AJR entitled “Neotheater”, it’s this group’s third album after the release of their widely panned sophomore album “The Click” in 2017. I didn’t listen to “The Click” mostly because I had seen several reviews on Youtube suggest it was one of the worst albums of the entire decade and decided that I’d be better off avoiding and stick to listening to other albums which were much more appealing to me anyway however that wasn’t the case this time around with “Neotheater” because I somehow got the idea that this album couldn’t possibly be as bad as had been suggested by Jon at ARTV so of course I decided to give “Neotheater” a go.

Folks, “Neotheater” by AJR is comfortably one of the worst albums I have ever had the displeasure of listening to and am left wondering who the hell thought this absolute rancid load of faux deep garbage, that wouldn’t be out of place being played on Satan’s P.A system on repeat as a form of torture, was good enough for the public to hear because seriously there are next to no redeeming factors from this album.

Let’s deal with the lyrics because for the most part the lyrics are just inane whinging that lacks the self-awareness or any basic grounding to make any of it interesting especially in terms of the arc of growing up and the fear of becoming adults especially as within the first two or three songs, the whinging becomes really quite insufferable.

Take for example, the track “Karma” where they are bemoaning that they aren’t getting anything in return for being “Good, helpful and friendly” but complains that even though he is being all those things, he feels ‘hollow’ and that he is getting no good karma from being all these things in return. What do you want, dude? A fucking pat on the back or congratulations that you’ve managed to be good all year? Cause that ain’t going to happen. Also you fail to address the fact that by helping somebody and being friendly that you feel good about yourself but “Karma’ doesn’t do that instead the song goes on and on about all these bad things that have happened in spite of the good things he has done which of course he doesn’t outline in any of the verses.

Now let’s talk about “Beats”, a song so irreversibly stupid I wondered what the point of putting it on the album was. “Beats” is basically a song where AJR wonder if they’ll get money for promoting Beats headphones by Dre so they can pay for recording the whole song while in the verses wondering whether people will recognise their songs should some sadistic supermarket play them while they are in the produce aisle. Quite why a supermarket would play this garbage AJR call music I don’t know.

There are so many more examples of awful lyrics like the contemptible “Break My Face” or the nonsense that is “Don’t Throw Out My Legos” – well let’s deal with the latter because this song really sums up the immaturity and sheer lack of growth in the song writing, which is ironic considering this album is supposedly all about growing up,  that AJR have shown in two years since they released “The Click” and made me wish that they’d step on lego so they could feel the similar pain I felt listening to this mind numbing abortion of a song. AJR are moving out of home and all they think to say to their parents before they head for their new home is “Don’t Throw Out my Legos” after years of being fed, clothed, educated etc by these poor parents and all your worried about is mum and dad not throwing out the lego so the lego is there in case you return home. TAKE THE GOD DAMN LEGO WITH YOU THEN. At least Carrie Underwood’s “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” had a semblance of being grateful for everything her mum and dad had done for her.

What makes all of this worse is the production which for the most part a mono genre slurry where AJR try to have a whole lot of noise and when there is a small moment where something sounds good, it gets hit with some noise to make you want to cringe. Take for example “Wow, I’m Not Crazy” which features a high pitched voice going “Yep Yep Yep yep” and it sounds atrocious, at leat when the Martians on Sesame Street repeat “Yep yep yep yep” to oblivion, they occasionally added an “Uh huh” to make interesting and it actually sounded good, the noise on “Wow, I’m Not crazy” made me want to throw things out the window.

“Here’s the Entertainment” has gang vocals and oh a pitched whistling sound over the chorus for no god damn explainable good reason. For me, most of the production on this album was just noise after noise that set my teeth on edge,

At most, this album and its arc of not wanting to grow up or face reality as an adult is very much represented in terms of the way AJR write their music with very little maturity or with any pathos that would make any of this mono genre slurry or really bad two year old joke interesting.

This gets pretty damn generous 1/10 and that’s only because I don’t believe in awarding 0/10. I can only hope AJR go away and do some solid growing up in terms of their songwriting and lyrics writing because this was just headache inducing

ARIA singles chart top ten/chart review: 22nd April 2019. Old Town Road takes number one and BTS debut in top ten

I need to get better at reading the Australian public. Seriously. I got it horribly wrong last week when I suggested that it was likely Billie Eilish could keep number one because....

That didn't happen and the new number one is "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and the remix with Billy Ray Cyrus. It got here courtesy of those streaming numbers which while not better than our current number two "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish, the combined streaming numbers of "Old Town Road" and it's Billy Ray remix were enough for it to push past Billie.

So yeah as I said "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish went back to number two after a two week run at number one.

Jonas Brothers "Sucker" remains stuck at number three as their new single "Cool" is getting roundly lambasted for being a pretty god awful song.

"Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure is up to number four proving that Australia has a major love affair with Khalid (he has better songs that this one!)

Also up one is Dominic Fike's "3 Nights" to number five. Ugh.

"Wow" by Post Malone got pushed back two places to number six while his other hit former number one "Sunflower" with Swae Lee continues to show it's longevity by remaining at number 7.

Also stable is "Bury A friend" by Billie Eilish at number eight while "Here with Me" by Marshmello and CHVRCHES continues to infuriate by climbing one spot to number 9 (Australia, you ignored CHVRCHES better songs but you let this become a hit?).

The highest new entry of the week isn't a surprise, it comes from BTS who have teamed up with Halsey for "Boy With Luv": which has debuted at number 10. Now like most other K-Pop songs, I am not expecting this one to stick around and its already slipping down Australian streaming charts but hey the song is actually decent so I'll take it at number ten for now.

Gains.

Happy to say the biggest gain of the week went to Australian band Birds of Tokyo with "Good Lord" up from 50 to 36 this week while Hilltop Hoods single "Exit Sign" with Ecca Vandal and Illy is up to 27 from 34.

Meanwhile "Don't Call Me Up" by Mabel smashed into the top twenty this week up ten places to 18 while Lewis Capaldi's UK number one "Someone You Loved" is up from 19 to 13. "Someone You loved" is a good bet to be in the top ten next week.

"So Am I" by Ava Max is up five places to 22.

Drax Project feat. Hailee Steinfeld is up 11 places to 29 this week wth "Woke Up Late".

Re-Entry

There was one re-entry this week courtesy of Ariana Grande with "Thank U, Next' back at 50.

Losers

There were some big losses this week mostly for Billie Eilish album tracks but the biggest loser this week was "Monopoly" by Ariana Grande and Victoria Monet which slipped hard to 39 this week. Ouch. As I said, I think it's time Ariana took a break from releasing singles.

Lets blow through the Billie Eilish songs that lost hard, "You should See me in a Crown" down to 48, "My Strange Addiction" down to 47, "All the Good Girls Go to Hell" slides to 37 and "When the Party is Over" down to 17.

Meanwhile Blackpink's "Kill This Love" fell as expected to 34 while Khalid's "My Bad' got shoved down to 28.


Drop Outs

The drop outs are as expected with "Xanny" by Billie Eilish (I think that may well be a single off the album soon, won't be shocked if it comes back) while I am surprised by the premature exit of "Giant" by Calvin Harris and Rag 'n' Bone man, kind of thought that that song had some traction to stick around.

Don't mind seeing "Bad Liar' by Imagine Dragons also out of the top 50. Good riddance.

New Entry

A posthumous song is one of two new entries (the other being "Boy With Luv" by BTS and Halsey at number ten) and by that I mean the new single by the much missed Avicii. Aloe Blacc recording his vocals for a song called "SOS" off of Avicii's second album which had been in the works before he sadly died.

Anyway will be interesting to see if Lil Nas X can nab a second week at number one especially with Taylor Swift showing up the week after. Things are about to get interesting and we're here for it. The chart updates on Saturday at 5pm AEST.
