Perhaps it was a "Sign of the Times" that this week there would be a new number one, albeit completely predictable especially given Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" has spent 13 weeks at number 1.
I call it the One Direction Effect in that One Direction and the boys solo stuff has a short term impact on the charts and then slowly fades away so we'll see but anyway before I talk about the top 10, we lost Drake's "Passionfruit" which took a 6 place drop from number 5 to number 11 and Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill" drop from number 10 to number 12.
So yes to the top ten, Harry Styles first ever solo single has debuted at number one, perhaps the most predictable result given the fanaticism of One Direction fans given they mobilise support on social media by urging fans to stream the song and hey, "Sign of the Times" might be in strong shape to remain at number one next week given it got to top spot despite a stuff up from music streaming service Spotify.
After a record equalling 13 weeks at number one, Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" finally drops to number 2.
"Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers featuring Coldplay remains at number 3. The Chainsmokers new album "Memories...Do Not Open" is out right now to some not so crash hot reviews but entered the ARIA album chart at number 4 with Ed Sheeran's "Divide" remaining at number 1.
Speaking of Ed Sheeran, "Galway Girl" dropped two places to number 4 this week. Video for that song on the way soon.
"Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara dropped one place to number 5. Mentioned Alessia Cara's new single "The Other Side" yesterday
Lorde got the "Green Light" to jump two places to number 6 this week. (Good, its a great song. Not sure why its not bigger than it is)
Kendrick Lamar dropped his new album "DAMN" yesterday to good first impressions but "HUMBLE" dropped one place to number 7.
Bruno Mars "That's What I like" continues to drop, this week down one place to number 8
Looks like Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson have another hit on their hands with "Symphony" blasting its way into the top 10 at number 9.
Kygo and Selena Gomez round out the top 10 at number 10 with "It ain't me", a drop of one place from 9 last week.
Only three new entries in the chart this week, one of those being Harry Styles with "Sign of the Times"
I mentioned Halsey's "Now or Never" in the New Music Friday reviews last week, "Now or Never" has entered the chart at number 21.
The only other new entry is at 42 and it comes from Kyle featuring Lil Yachty with "iSpy". Surprised its taken so long to enter the ARIA Chart given its number 4 in the United States. Its not a bad song in my opinion.
So next week should see the entrance of the DNCE featuring Nick Minaj collab (unfortunately) and possibly some album tracks from Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN".
