Australian top 10: Top 4 gets predictable as Kygo and Selena rise

I am going to do the ARIA top 10 a little differently this week because basically from number 1 to number 4 its not very interesting so this week I am going to go from 1 through to 10 because beyond number 4 is where its interesting but more importantly this week's top 10 isn't as dominated by Ed Sheeran

Sheeran's songs "Dive" and "Perfect" took a tumble out of the top 10.

So number 1 for a 10th week, likely shaping to be the biggest song of 2017 worldwide and indeed ensuring its place on ARIA's end of year lists and maybe at number one, hard to see any song knocking it off right now, Ed Sheeran's Shape of You". Divide also remains the number 1 album in Australia right now.

"Castle on the Hill" by Ed Sheeran spends another week at number 2.

The Chainsmokers featuring Coldplay remain at number 3 with "Something Just Like This"

Big surprise is that Lorde wasn't able to climb higher this week. "Green Light" remains at number 4.

Now this is where it all gets interesting because Kygo and Selena Gomez have climbed back to number 5 after a surprise drop to number 7 last week given its strong debut.

The other major surprise this week is the continued success of "Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara which climbed three spots to number 6. Could break into top 5 next week.

Ed Sheeran confirmed "Galway Girl" as his next single (Yay, as its the best song outside of Castle on The Hill from the album) and that climbed 3 to number 7

Bruno Mars continues his rise up the charts with "Thats What I Like" and any wonder given it is such a great song, it went from 14 to 8 this week.

Julia Michaels run in the top 10 is coming to end but its a slow drop for "Issues", its fallen to number nine

"All Time Low" for Jon Bellion rounds out the top 10 at number 10.

Before we get to the new entries, there is a song that have some massive potential in the weeks ahead of breaking into the top 10, the first being "You Don't Know Me" by Jax Jones featuring Raye, its been a hit in the UK, only held off the number one spot by Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You". This week "You don't know me" went from 24 to 15.

Now to the new entries and the first of those is in at number 19 and really I thought the hoopla around this song could have been bigger given who is in involved. Norwegian producer Stargate has gotten together with Sia and Pink (two of the biggest female names in pop outside of Adele, Taylor Swift and Beyonce who are all likely to have quiet 2017s. Adele on tour, Beyonce having twins and Taylor giving everyone a much needed break from her) to create a song entitled "Waterfall", now I am fairly ambivalent about this song but anyway, its up to you guys.

At number 42 is the song that is a non single from Lorde's 2nd album "Melodrama" but because everyone is so hungry for new Lorde music after four years away, it has reached the ARIA top 50. I think this is the most vulnerable I have ever heard Lorde.




At number 43 is my favourite new entry of the week "Keep Me Crazy by the band responsible for that wickedly catchy "Geronimo" a couple of years ago. Yes, it's a bit shouty in places but all the time it is a deceptively catchy song.

So next week we're likely to see Zara Larsson hit the chart in a big way with two songs from her newly released album "So Good" and hopefully an ARIA chart debuts for the new Amy Shark and Gretta Ray singles.

Will have a run down of the British top 10 sometime this weekend but until then see you later.
