This week saw plenty happen, not only do we have a new number one but we also have two songs crash into the top 10 with at least one looking likely to be a shot at climbing even higher so this week wasn't all bad and we had some new entries to boot including a song from an artist running hot right now.
The top ten lost "New Rules" by Dua Lipa which slipped to number 13 and 'Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith dropped to number 11.
So what's the new number one? Unfortunately it's the horribly bland and sappy "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran (Beyonce won't be credited on the track until next week) but there's no doubt that Beyonce appearing on a remixed version of the track helped push it to number one. It also comes as we learn that Sheeran is planning on a third remix of the song with Andrea Boccelli as if we actually wanted an even more sappy version of the track.
"Havana" by Camila Cabello slipped back to number two and given she has begun promoting her new single "Never Be the Same", I can't see this returning to number one especially when you consider what has momentum behind it.
The same applies for Post Malone and 21 Savage's 'rockstar" which slipped to number 3 and also Post Malone's "I Fall Apart" at number 4. These two songs have most likely peaked and while they may hang onto their position next week given streaming for both songs is pretty impressive.
Marshmello and Khalid arrive in the top 5 with "Silence, it climbs past Marshmello's hit with Selena Gomez "Wolves" at number 6.
I called it on Twitter last week, NF climbed into the top ten this week with "Let You Down" jumping four places to number seven.
What I didn't call was the surprise at number 8 with "Meant to be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line being the biggest climber of the week by jumping from 26 to 8. It's the first top ten hit in Australia for either artist.
Then we have two songs that are pretty much on their way out anyway, Khalid's "Young, Dumb and Broke" dropping two places to number 9 and "What Lovers do" by Maroon 5 and SZA dropping two places to round out the top ten at number 10.
So what else was a big mover up apart from "Meant to be"? Oddly enough, a past number one "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran jumped from 32 to 25 but that could be because of the current number one, "I Miss You" by Clean Bandit and Julia Michaels jumped from 46 to 28, "Go Bang" by PNAU jumped from 42 to 31 (Go Aussies!) but apart from those, no real major gainers this week.
As for a top ten entry prediction, look for "Let Me go" by Hailee Steinfeld feat. Alesso and Watt to enter the top ten soon.
As for the biggest fallers, that honour falls to Pink this week with her former chart topper "What About Us" dropping to 43 from 28 last week, it wasn't a good week for Pink at all even though her album returned to number one on the album charts with the title track "Beautiful Trauma" dropping from 25 to 36. "Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy William dropped from 33 to 40, "Walk on Water" by Eminem and Beyonce continues to under perform dropping to 38 from 24
There was one re-entry and surprisingly quite high up, it's also one of the worst Christmas songs known to man, "All I want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey re-entered at number 18.
Two new entries to the top 50 this week and I called out this song as being likely to be huge last, well "Candy Paint" by Post Malone has arrived at number 24, this song is showing all the signs of being BIGGER than both "rockstar" and "I Fall Apart" put together.
As for the other new entry, it's only G-Easy and Halsey's pipe dream of being the modern Bonnie and Clyde "Him & I" at number 37.
As for new entries to the top 100, there were two with "So Far away" by Martin Garrix and David Guetta feat. Jamie Scott and Romy Dya at number 58 and "Miss You" by Louis Tomlinson at 66.
Nothing all that remarkable or surprising with the drop outs, there were three "Too Much to Ask" by Niall Horan, " Bodak Yellow (Money Moves" by Cardi B and "Mic Drop" by BTS and Desiigner all dropped out.
So that rounds things up for the week. Hopefully I'll have my worst hit songs of the year up at some point this week and also New Music Friday Review coming up with plenty of Camila Cabello to talk about!
