The top ten sees an old number one with "Shape of You" returning to the summit after a one week break thanks to Harry Styles. It's a fourteenth week at number 1 for "Shape Of You" which means it now overtakes Coolio's 1995 hit "Gangsta's Paradise" for longest running ARIA chart topper. Its a song I can tolerate but its not one of my favourite ever chart toppers, we have had worse number 1 songs than this.
At number 2 on the back of the release of the new album "DAMN". Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" jumped 5 places. There'll be plenty more about Kendrick when we get to the new entries.
"Galway Girl" by Ed Sheeran basically switched with "Something Just like this" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay so "Galway Girl" up one to number three, "Something Just Like This" dropping to number 4.
Last week's number one "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles fell from number 1 to number 5, the fact "Sign of the Times" lost the number one spot this week isn't a surprise but the size of the drop is a bit of a surprise. The song badly needs a good video to boost the hype but already it looks as though the hype has disappeared from the song and my fear is that like most of his previous band and other members of said band's solo work is that it won't have longevity on the chart. Hell, Zayn Malik's new single isn't doing that well.
"Symphony" by Clean Bandit featuring Zara Larsson looks like breaking into the top 5 next week after a three place climb to number 6. Its a good song too, give it a listen.
"Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara drops out of the top 5 with a two place drop to number 7
Bruno Mars stays exactly where he is at number 8 with "That's What I Like"
Lorde drops three places with "Green Light" to number 9. Check out a new song of hers called "Homemade Dynamite", which having heard her perform it live at Coachella via Youtube, is going to be a bonafide hit should her record company choose to release it as a single.
Rounding out the top 10 for another week is "It Ain't Me" by Kygo featuring Selena Gomez.
Now to the new entries and I am going to deal with the three Kendrick Lamar new entries in one hit together so at number 16, DNA. Now I am not the world's biggest hip hop fan so I figure I am just going to give you guys the links to these and let you be the judge.
The 2nd of Lamar's songs from DAMN to debut in the Hot 100 was "LOYALTY" a track with Rihanna as guest vocalist and I got to say having heard an excerpt of this song, I kind of like it. Rihanna really seems to work here.
The last of the new entries from LAMAR is a song called "LOVE" featuring Zacarl which comes in at number 29
So going back up to 17, we have the newest song for Lady Gaga entitled "The Cure". Now normally I would have reviewed this for my New Music Friday review because its come straight onto the chart I haven't had the chance to. Its not quite Gaga at her best but hey I'll take it over some of the other outright bland pop on the chart at the moment.
The last of the new entries comes from the Fate of the Furious movie soundtrack and its been around awhile with G-Eazy teaming up with Kehlani for a song called "Good Life". Its not my cup my tea but hey if I had to hear it, I'm not sure I'd complain, its listenable.
That wraps things up for the week. We've got new music from Shawn Mendes, Charlie Puth and a collaboration between Lana Del Ray and The Weeknd likely to debut on the charts, am about to review all of that. Am busy trying to change when I do the New Music Friday reviews.
