Before we get to that new number one, we bade farewell from the top 10 to "Slow Hands" by Niall Horan which dropped to number 12.
Australia's new number one is "What About Us?" by Pink, her ninth number one single in Australia which is impressive stuff. That album will undoubtedly sell like hotcakes when it's released. This isn't a surprise that "What About Us" is number one as Australia seems to be in love with Pink. Would suspect that this song got to number one on sales alone as streaming and Youtube haven't picked up yet.
Macklemore feat. Skylar Gray's "Glorious" looms as the big threat to "What About Us?" at number two, this song is doing extremely well on streaming. Pick up sales and it could very well take the number one spot in the next week.
The former number 1 "Despacito (Remix" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber fell two weeks short of the longest running number one hit that is currently held by "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran and I really don't see this getting back to number one, it's falling on sales, radio and on streaming and with Justin Bieber's new single likely to debut in top 3, it could be moving down time for "Despacito"
Speaking of moving down, that's what happened with Imagine Dragons single "Thunder", it's hold on number 2 ended with a two place slide down to number 4.
At number 5 is former UK number 1 "Feels" by Calvin Harris feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean, It got replaced at number one by "New Rules" by Dua Lipa which currently sits at number 15 on the Australia charts after a 5 place climb.
Kesha got her album release boost with "Praying" up two places to number 6.
Two place drop for "Strip That Down" by Liam Payne feat. Quavo to go down two places to number 7.
It was a one place drop to number 8 for French Montana and Swae Lee with "Unforgettable". (Its surprising just how big this song is quite honestly)
At number 9 is 'Wild Thoughts" by DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, it dropped 3 places.
Finally and hopefully it's the last week in the top 10 for "Body like a Back Road" for Sam Hunt at number 10 after it dropped one place. We can only hope...
Outside of the top 10, the only other new entry to the top 50 was from Avicii and Sandro Cavazza with "Without You" at number 33
Outside of the top 50, there were new entries for Portugal. The Man with "Feel It Still" at 95, "Silence" by Marshmello feat. Khalid at 100, "Don't Tell Me" by Ruel at 86, "P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing) by John Gibbons at 61 and "Little of Your Love (Bloodpop Remix)" by HAIM and Bloodpop at 85
"Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy William continues to gain traction, it was the week's biggest climb jumping from 38 to 31 in the last week.
I mentioned the 5 place rise for "New Rules" by Dua Lipa, The other two noteable gains which was "Redbone" by Childish Gambino to number 27 from 30 last week and Jessica Mauboy's "Fallin'" returned top the top 20 at number 18
Biggest drop was Camila Cabello's "Crying in the Club" which went from number 40 last week to number 50 this week.
Other drop of significance was "Fetish" by Selena Gomez feat. Gucci Mane which continues to struggle for any kind of traction dropped to 39 from 32 last week, Most of the other dropping songs are on the way out anyway including "Symphony" by Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson
Two songs dropped out of the top 50 though and they were "Now Or Never" by Halsey (peaked at number 16) and "Moments" by Bliss 'n" Eso feat. Gavin James.
So the big question is where does "Friends" by Justin Bieber and Bloodpop debut (pretty certain it will debut top 5) and will Miley Cyrus also climb into the the top 10 with her new single "Younger Now". Will be reviewing both for New Music Friday Review.
