We said goodbye to "How would you feel (Paean)" by Ed Sheeran which dropped from 2 to 11 and as expected Amy Shark's "Adore" did drop from the top 10.
So to our top 10 where we start at number 10 and unfortunately it seems Pnau's "Chameleon" could very well be staring at an exit from the top 10, it dropped two places.
At number 9, is American singer, song-writer, rapper and producer Jon Bellion with "All Time Low", this song has been hanging around the charts for awhile so suspect this might very well be peaking after jumping from 12 to 9
At number 8, is the first of two entries from The Chainsmokers with "Paris", it also looks like its headed toward the top 10 exit.
Katy Perry's "Chained to the Rhythm" is yet again the surprise having lost more momentum this week, it dropped one place to number 7. Really expected that one to return to top 5 (and not because Chained to the Rhythm is necessarily a good song)
Julia Michaels is having "Issues" with the fact her hit song has dropped one place to number 6
"I don't want to live forever" by Zayn and Taylor Swift has also dropped a spot to number 5 with all the momentum from the 50 Shades Darker movie somewhat fading now.
At number 4 is "It Ain't Me" by Kygo and Selena Gomez which jumped 5 places to number 4. Its also on a massive climb in the US where it jumped from 93 to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and appears likely to be a top ten hit next week. Yikes!
"Castle on the Hill" has regained some of the momentum it lost by rebounding to number 3. Suspect it will cop a boost now with the release of Sheeran's album "Divide"
Now we get to what I mentioned before about the Edopoly being broken and it took The Chainsmokers teaming up with Coldplay to do it. "Something Just Like This" is this week's highest debut at number two. Now I am no fan of the Chainsmokers or Coldplay but I got to say this song is okay without being great.
But yes, for the eighth week in a row, Ed Sheeran's "Shape Of You" is Australia's number one and with the album now out, I suspect a ninth week at the top is in the offing for Ed.
Anyway its time we looked the new entries to enter the charts this week outside of the top 10 and we go to number 12 which where "Slide" the new single for Calvin Harris featuring Frank Ocean and Migos has debut. I must confess to cringing when I heard about this collaboration given misgivings about Migos ("Bad and Boujee" anyone?) and also what Calvin Harris has done in the past but hey this really works and I actually really like what Harris has done in creating what he termed as "happy music"
Unfortunately, there's only a preview of the song available on Youtube but I recommend giving this song a listen.
Now to number 16 where we find "Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara. I am a fan of Alessia Cara but I am not sure why I cannot dig this song. Hmm. Also what is with the increasing trend of songs discussing the theme of never growing up?
The last of new the new entries comes from Future featuring Rihanna with a song called "Selfish". The US charts have been drowning in a lot of Future. Why? Because instead of releasing one album, it was decided he would release two and a by product of that is "Selfish" and to be honest, Rihanna is class on this and this may just be the better of the songs from either of Future's albums.
Some side notes on this week's chart. Lana Del Ray's "Love" has fallen from 41 ro 49 this week which isn't so surprising. Not convinced Australia completely gets Lana.
I mentioned Migos earlier, well, it seems his collab with Lil Uzi Vert "Bad and Boujee" is set to drop out of the ARIA top 50 after peaking at number 34. "Bad and Boujee" is a former US number 1 but has struggled for traction anywhere else quite remarkably.
So looking ahead to next week, Ed Sheeran faces the challenge imposed by Lorde's "Green Light" and new entries expected for Coldplay and I suspect one or two album tracks from Sheeran's new album will enter the charts
