It's a doozy of a week, folks, we have a new entry in the top 10 and plenty of new entries through the ARIA top 50 so let's whip through the top 10. We did however as expected lose Julia Michaels "Issues" from the top 10, it dropped one to number 11.
What isn't dropping is Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" which remains at number 1 for the 13th week equalling Coolio's record, he was number one for 13 weeks in 1996 with "Gangsta's Paradise"
Whether or not Sheeran breaks that record is going to be interesting because Sheeran's "Galway Girl" has gone from 9 last week to looking like it might replace Shape of You at number one next week (depending on sales and streaming of Harry Styles overhyped new single "Sign of the Times" next week. Ugh), it sits at number 2.
"Something Just Like This" by Yhe Chainsmokers and Coldplay drops to number 3. The yoyo act is getting something just a little tired.
At number 4 is Zedd featuring Alessia Cara with "Stay" after a one place drop.
Drake also suffered a fall this week with "Passionfruit" dropping from 4 to number 5.
Kendrick Lamar unveilled his new album's called "DAMN" cover and tracklisting which is apparently going to feature collaborations with U2 and Rihanna but in the meantime "HUMBLE" has entered the ARIA Chart at number 6. Check it out if you are a keen hip hop fan.
Unfortunately, Bruno Mars suffered a two place drop with "That's what I like" to number 7.
Seems like most songs dropped this week really with Lorde's "Green Light" dropping one place to 8.
Kygo and Selena Gomez dropped to number nine with "It Ain't Me"
Ed Sheeran rounds out the top ten with "Castle on the Hill" after a FOUR place drop. Think it will have enough points to appear on the year end chart so that's all good.
As I said earlier, its a big week for new entries with Kendrick Lamar's "Humble not the only one so let's check out the rest of these new entries.
The latest new single from Calvin Harris has him teaming up with Young Thug, Pharrell Williams and Ariana Grande for a song entitled "Heatstroke" which has debuted at 24 this week. Now its fair to say I really do like this but the thing that lets it down for me is Ariana's vocal otherwise, its pretty darn good.
"Swalla" by Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign has entered the chart at number 34. I wish I felt the same way about this song as I do "Heatstroke" but quite honestly its not my kind of thing. Check it out if you like any of those three artists.
Always great to have Australian talent on the chart, Bliss 'N' Eso's new single with Gavin James called "Moments" has debuted at number 41.
Demi Lovato is reportedly working on some new music to be released later this year but she's the featuring artist on a song called "No Promises" with Cheat Codes.
Finally at number 50 is the single for Sydney singer/songwriter Dean Lewis called "Waves". I actually really like this. Check it out when you have an opportunity
Next week should see a big showdown for number one between Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran, can Directioners get "Sign of the Times" to the top or will Ed Sheeran hang on to break that record? Styles and Halsey's new songs are expected to debut on the chart on Saturday. You can catch up on what I had to say about both songs by scrolling down.
