Australian Top 10: Steady week in top ten. Drake returns

Nothing really changed this week in the Australian top ten, nothing jumped into the top 10 or jumped out of it for that matter, couple of movers up and down though

What does remain the same is that for the 11th week, "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran remains at number one. Surely somewhere the balloon that is this song right now is going to start leaking some air soon but "Shape of You" is still quite dominant in most areas and Sheeran has kept the number 1 album with "Divide"

The Chainsmokers and Coldplay climbed to number 2 this week with "Something Just Like This" but it feels a bit like a plastic number 2, almost like its waiting for a bigger song to come and knock it off.

That meant "Castle on the Hill" by Ed Sheeran dropped to number three.

At number 4 is "Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara. A song that may have the potential to challenge Sheeran for number 1 based purely on momentum but we'll soon find out.

"It Ain't Me" by Kygo and Selena Gomez didn't move from 5 this week

Bruno Mars continues to move up with "That's what I like" to number 6 from 8 last week.

Lorde's "Green Light" suffered a 3 place drop to number 7. It was number one in Lorde's homeland of New Zealand last week but Ed Sheeran has returned to number one there with "Shape of You"

Speaking of Ed Sheeran "Galway Girl" dropped one place to number 8. It needs a big boost from a video.

"Issues" by Julia Michaels and "All Time Low" by Jon Bellion remain at 9 and 10 respectively.


Light week as far as new entries go with only three of them but two of them are from big names so let's get to number 16 and its where we find "Passionfruit" by Drake, the only song from his playlist/album "More Life" to hit the Australian chart this week (thank goodness). The British charts are littered with Drake songs this week.

I am not a fan of Drake but you can check out his new single here.

We then have to go outside the top 40 to find the other two new entries. Debuting at 42 this week is the new one for Clean Bandit, they have teamed up with Zara Larsson for a song entitled "Symphony". Probably the best out of the three debuts.\

Finally at number 45 is Martin Jensen with "Solo Dance". Now this song has been a huge hit in Europe and its climbing the charts in Britain to be inside the top 10 at number 8 in the United Kingdom.

Next week should see Zayn Malik back on the chart along with probably more Drake (ugh, he is getting into Taylor Swift zone in terms of over exposure). Coming up the British top 10.
