I considered not bothering with this week's chart because barely anything happened inside the top 10 apart from a few moves lower down the top ten.
So yes, for a third week "Havana" by Camila Cabello remains at number one because it's had a pretty damn good sales week.
"Rockstar" by Post Malone and 21 Savage remains at number 2 but I see this song falling away a bit now especially with competition moving in behind it.
Post Malone's 2nd song inside the top 5 "I Fall Apart" remains at number 3 but yet again I really don't see this as a threat to "Havana"
Perhaps the biggest threat to "Havana" lies at number 4 with "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran and with a remix featuring Beyonce dropping on Friday, there is a very big chance that this song will make a serious play for the number one spot,
"Wolves" by Marshmello and Selena Gomez couldn't bridge the margins so remained at number 5. Marshmello's collab with Khalid "Silence remains at number 6.
Khalid remains at number seven with his solo hit and one that keeps growing on me every time I hear it "Young, Dumb and Broke"
Then finally we get to some movement with "What Lovers Do" by Maroon 5 and SZA up one to number 8 and "New Rules" by Dua Lipa up to number 9 but both those moves up look to be based on the weakness "Too Good at Goodbyes" by Sam Smith slipping to number 10.
Now where things get interesting is the moves outside of the top 10, biggest gainer of the week where "Anywhere" by Rita Ora which moved from 23 to break into the top 20 at number 16 while NF's "Let You Down" jumped to the cusp of the top 10 at number 11 up from 17 last week. Pink's "Beautiful Trauma" jumped from 32 to 25 probably more based on the fact some people can't get enough of Channing Tatum.
As for the biggest losers? The biggest loser this week was "Walk on Water" by Eminem and Beyonce which continued it's downward momentum 24 from 15 last week. "1-800-273-8255" by Logic feat. Alessia Cara and Khalid slipped to number 22 from 16. A song that continues not to catch on whatsoever is "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" by Cardi B which slipped to number 45 from 38 last week.
So what dropped out?, There were three drop outs most surprisingly two of them from Taylor Swift with both "..Ready For It?" and "Look What You Made Me do" falling out of the chart, would expect "Look What You Made Me Do" will make the year end ARIA singles chart though. The other drop out is "Location" by Khalid.
As for the new entries inside the top 50: the highest debut this week was "Meant to be" by Bebe Rexha feat. country music (although in light of recent songs by Florida Georgia Line I guess that 'country' label can be questioned) duo Florida Georgia Line at number 26. "I Miss You" by Clean Bandit feat. Julia Michaels at number 46 and "Mic Drop (Stve Aoki Remix" by BTS and Desiigner entered the top 50 at number 50.
Outside of the top 50, the best of the new entries was "Deja-Vu" by Timmy Trumpet and Savage at number 55, "Cola" by CamelPhat and Elderbrook (this song is blowing up huge in the UK) at number 89 and "Kiwi by Harry Styles at number 97.
Would expect the ARIAs to have much more of an impact on this week's chart but before I go I want to alert you all to a song that could well be about to blow up big time on the charts, I mentioned Post Malone earlier, well he has a song on the Billboard Hot 100 right now called "Candy Paint" from the Fate of the Furious soundtrack and there are signs that this song is headed for the ARIA singles chart big time.
See you all soon for New Music Friday Review!
