Last week, I did warn of the potential of the charts going haywire this week and wow, they did in many ways due to a number of factors that I will mention through out this chart top ten/chart review.
But before we get to the top ten, the songs that left the top 10 were Lauv's "I Like Me Better" slipping 4 places to 12, Demi Lovato's "Sorry not Sorry" slipping 3 places ro 13 and Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" dropping to 14. Can't say I am sorry to see two of that three gone from the top ten, you can work out which two I am talking about for yourselves.
So with those departures did the top ten improve? Well not at number one with "Rockstar" by Post Malone and 21 Savage remaining in the top spot for another week.
"Glorious" by Macklemore feat. Skylar Grey has matched it's previous peak after it was performed at the National Rugby League Grand Final jumping one place to number 3.
This means "New Rules" by Dua Lipa drops to number 3.
Now on the back of the controversy over the performance eg: the whinging of Tony Abbott which resulted in people taking to iTunes and buying the song. Former Australian number 1"Same Love" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert re-entered the chart at number 4 purely on digital downloads...that is all. Should drop out next week. The NRL Grand Final appears to have had a serious impact on the singles chart this week actually because of Macklemore.
Former number one "Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith dropped to number 5.
A song that is rising slowly but surely is "Dusk til Dawn" by Zayn and Sia which climbed 1 place to number 6.
"1-800-273-8255" by Logic feat Alessia Cara and Khalid dropped two places to number 7.
Then we get to one of the big climbers of the week and this artist's first solo top ten hit "Havana" by Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug which climbed from 16 to number 8. I actually expect this song to be top 5 soon. It's gonna be a smash for Camila and boy, she needs it ahead of that album release.
Khalid makes his 2nd appearance but this time as the main artist in the top ten with "Young, Dumb and Broke" jumping from 13 to number 9.
Rounding out the top ten is "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons which fell four places to number 10 and looks like falling out of the chart naturally as it's on its way out. (Good!)
On the way up though is "Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy William which climbed 20 places to number 11 off the back of the release of a remix featuring Beyonce, "Good Old Days" by Macklemore and Kesha jumped from 25 to 16, Ed Sheeran's sappy daytime love scene song "Perfect" jumped from 41 to 19.
Also noted a bounce back up the chart for Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" which jumped from 42 back to 30.
The biggest loser this week was unsurprisingly a song that was on the way out naturally anyway "Slow Hands" by Niall Horan which fell from 34 to 46, also Rita Ora's "Your Song" fell from 32 to 40, "...Ready for It" by Taylor Swift also experienced a big drop from 26 to 37.
So what dropped out? The only real significant drop out was "Something Just Like this" by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay but that has done enough to make ARIA's end of year chart, the other two songs to drop out were "There for You" by Martin Garrix and Troye Sivan and "More Than You Know" by Axwell and Ingrosso
One new entry this week in the top 50, it's the title track of Pink's new album "Beautiful Trauma" which entered the chart at 27. Outside the top 100, Post Malone got a boost for "I Fall Apart" which entered at 56 and will probably break into the top 50 soon considering the success of "rockstar" and Kita Alexander's song "Hotel" entered at 89 (Check that song out, it's a great song)
The Killers AFL Grand Final appearance helped "Mr Brightside" re-enter the top 50 at number 48, they also saw several songs re-enter the top 100 with "Somebody told Me" at 71 and "When You were Young" at 82.
"Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton also re-entered yet again as a result of the song being performed at the NRL Grand Final.
There were also re-entries for the sadly now departed Tom Petty with "Free Fallin'" re-entering at 59 and "I Won't Back Down" at 78.
So that wraps up quite the week on the charts thanks largely to the footy grand finals, have a feeling we are in for a bit of a slowdown week. I think "rockstar" may well see this week at number one but we'll see on Saturday.
