This week was a week that I wasn't looking forward to, largely because I was expecting songs that had clearly peaked to come down and we were set for a new number 1 that I do not in any shape or form like but personal views aside.
Before we look the top 10, "Strip That down' by Liam Payne feat. Quavo exited the top 10 slipping 4 places to number 12.
Now to the top 10 and yes, despite it's extremely questionable quality,"Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift did debut in the top spot. How long it remains at number 1 is anyone's guess but it's numbers on Spotify streaming wise are excellent and it doesn't look like losing number one on sales at the moment.
Last week's number 1, "What About Us?" by Pink slipped to number 2 which is not surprising considering the Swift juggernaut that arrived on the chart, it was never really shot of hanging on to number 1.
At number 3 is Macklemore feat. Skylar Gray with "Glorious". Macklemore has been confirmed as the National Rugby League's Grand Final pre match entertainment headline act.
I said last week that "Friends" by Justin Bieber and Bloodpop wouldn't get to number one and based on the fact it fell two places to number 4.
"Thunder" by Imagine Dragons sits at number 5 dropping 1 place from last week. Looks as though it could be on the way out.
The song that could loom as a threat to Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" is "New Rules" by Dua Lipa at number 6. This song has not stopped climbing the charts in the last few weeks with another 4 place climb this week, it's got real momentum behind it, it could be top 5 next week especially with "Thunder" fading.
"Unforgettable" by French Montana feat. Swae-Lee remains at number 7
The couple of songs are on their way out of the top 10 with "Feels" by Calvin Harris feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean dropping 2 to number 8 and former chart topper "Despacito (Remix)" dropping 4 places to number 9.
"Praying" by Kesha slips from 9 to 10 to wrap up this week's ARIA Top 10
Outside of the top ten, the biggest gainer was Khalid's "Young, Dumb and Broke" which jumped from 44 last week to 28 this week. "Sorry not Sorry" by Demi Lovato climb three places to sit at the edge of the top 10 at number 11, Lauv's "I Like Me Better" climbed 5 places from 29 to 24
As for the biggest loser that dishonour went to former top 5 song "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay which slipped from 33 to 48. It also was a bad week for Selena Gomez with "Bad Liar falling from 40 to 47 and "Fetish" (feat. Gucci Mane) falling 8 places to 49. "There for You" by Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan also dropped 8 places to 38.
One re entry this week and it's not that big a surprise with "1-800-273-8255" by Logic feat. Alessia Cara and Khalid re-entering at number 37.
As for the new entries outside of the new number one? Marshmello feat. Khalid entered the chart number 30 with "Silence", Camila Cabello might finally see some chart success with her latest single "Havana" feat. Young Thug entering at number 36, Portugal. the Man's "Feel It Still" finally debuted at number 43. Outside of the top 50: "Chateau" by Angus and Julia Stone at 90, "You Already Know" by Fergie feat. Nicki Minaj at 95 and "Rich Love" by One Republic feat. Seeb at 97 and the last of the new entries is "Walk on water' by Thirty Seconds to Mars at 99.
So with all the movement there were 5 songs that left the chart including two songs whose exits are really extremely premature. The three exits that aren't so surprising are the VMAs song of the summer "XO Tour Lif3" by Lil Uzi (how that got voted as song of the summer is one of the great mysteries), "Stay" by Zedd and Alessia Cara and"Now or Never" by Halsey. All of which had well and truly have outdone their time on the chart.
However the premature exits for "Get Low" by Zedd and Liam Payne after 5 weeks and "Younger Now" by Miley Cyrus after 1 week are something of a surprise and probably a concern for Miley given she's due to drop that album soon.
That rounds up ARIA Chart Review. See you for New Music Friday where there's new Jason DeRulo and Guy Sebastian to talk about. Joy...lol.
