ARIA Top Ten May 15th: Bieber dominates again

The week has been dominated by Justin Bieber even though the two tracks that lie top of the ARIA chart this week even though both aren't chiefly accredited to him. The top 10 remains chiefly the same with no songs dropping from the top 10 this week.

"I'm The One" by DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper, Quavo and Lil Wayne remains at number 1 this week after debuting at the top last week. I would question if Bieber wasn't involved as to whether this uninteresting brag rap track would have got to number one because lets face it there's no real swagger or anything in this. Also its not the last time we'll hear from Quavo tonight,

Could also question whether or not "Despacito Remix" which sits at number 2 would have gotten to its lofty position if Bieber had not been involved, it climbed 8 places to reach the 2nd place slot.

At number 3 sits "Galway Girl" by Ed Sheeran which climbed one place and passing Sheeran's former number one "Shape of You" which dropped 2 places to number 4

Also down two places this week is Kendrick Lamar's "Humble", his biggest solo hit worldwide even "Alright" and "King Kunta" from the "To Pimp A Butterfly" album did this well.

Shawn Mendes remains at number 6 this week with "There's Nothing Holding Me Back".

Unfortunately "Symphony" by Clean Bandit featuring Zara Larsson dropped two places to number 7.

"Something just like this" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay dropped one place to number 8.

Harry Styles will be hoping for a double boost from the release of the video for "Sign of The Times" and the release of his debut solo album for a bounce back up the charts after "Sign of the times" remained at number 9 this week.

Rounding out the top 10 is "Stay" by Zedd featuring Alessia Cara which dropped two places from number 8.

As for the new entries this week. 'Slow Hands" by Niall Horan has debuted on the cusp of the top 10 at number 11, watch for that to climb when there's finally a video for it. It's a decent song.

Speaking of decent songs "Mama" by Jonas Blue featuring William Singe has entered the chart at number 37. I actually do like this for some reason that I cannot explain,





On the not so good front, "Congratulations" by Post Malone featuring Quavo has debuted at number 45. What people see in this song, I have no idea.





So next week should see Miley Cyrus and probably a number of tracks from Harry Styles album enter the chart. I have a feeling Miley may well be a player for the top ten next week but we'll see what happens.
