So this week turned to be normal in that it was relatively quiet with four new entries but a couple of big shifts up the chart for a couple of songs except that we have a new number one...Oh god...I'll get to that in a minute but unfortunately we lost Lorde's "Green Light" and Lady Gaga's "The Cure" from the top 10.
So our new number 1 is "I'm the One" by DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Lil Wayne and it goes number 1 on debut in the chart. Let's be honest here, the only reason this song is number 1 is because of the involvement of Justin Bieber on the track because there is nothing remotely interesting about this song, its just your quintessential brag rap song with the most unimiaginative chorus of all time.
Heck, I might be completely tired of "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran but I'd have preferred a sixteenth week at number one for "Shape of You" which instead dropped to number 2 this week.
Even Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" would have been a better number one but no it remains at number 3.
The 2nd Ed Sheeran song in the top 10 is "Galway Girl" which dropped from number 2 to number 4. Sheeran released the video for "Galway Girl" during the week so it will be interesting to see if that gives the song a boost back up toward number 1.
Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson drop one place with "Symphony" to number 5
Meanwhile Shawn Mendes has climbed two places with "There's Nothing Holding Me Back" to number 6. Could break top 5 next week.
Dropping out of the top 5 is The Chainsmokers and Coldplay with "Something Just Like This" dropping to number 7. The Chainsmokers recently celebrated a year in the US Billboard Hot 100, they've been a stape on that chart for a year now. Yikes
At number 8 is "Stay" Zedd featuring Alessia Cara. a one spot drop for them. \
"Sign of the Times" dropped three places for Harry Styles because the song doesn't have a video yet. What the hell is doing there? Surely its not going to repeat the mistake of Louis Tomlinson's "Just Hold on"? Hurry up and get a video up, Harry. Expect "Sweet Creature" to debut inside top 10 next week.
Finally the biggest mover of the week, "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber climbed from 26 to enter the top 10 at number 10 and yet again I question whether this song would be a hit if it weren't for Bieber's involvement. The original didn't chart altogether in Australia, it has to be said.
Of the other new entries the best of those outside of the top 10 was Kygo and Ellie Goulding's "First Time" entering at number 29.
"Bon Appetit" by Katy Perry and Migos (gets worse every time I hear it) enters at number 35.
"Attention" by Charlie Puth enters at number 41
We can only hope this week's new releases bring some quality to the ARIA chart next week, I hold out hope Niall Horan can grab number 1 with "Slow hands". Will have New Music Friday review up tomorrow at some point.
