On first glance, this week's ARIA chart looks run of the mill boring, the top couple didn't change and the number one doesn't look like being removed from it's place for awhile but if you go beyond the top 5, wow, it was a busy week.
We lost two songs from the top 10 this week with "Wolves" by Marshmello and Selena Gomez slipping from 9 to 11 and "Him & I" by G-Eazy and Halsey slipping from 10 to 13.
Now on to the top 10 where for a 7th week, "Perfect" and its various remixes by Ed Sheeran feat. Beyonce and Andrea Boccelli remains at number 1 and like I said it's hard to see when or how it's going to be knocked off the top spot.
"I Fall Apart" by Post Malone remains at number 2 for a second week which isn't a surprise as it is ruling streaming services right now.
"River" by Eminem feat. Ed Sheeran has gone number one in the UK this week but it sits at number 3 in Australia this week.
The boost of the back of the release of the album helped "Havana" by Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug recoup some of it's previous week's losses back up to number 4.
That meant "Meant To Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line fell back to number 5.
Post Malone's second top 10 hit and former number 1 'Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage remains at number 6 and refuses to go away
NF's "Let You Down" switched with Marshmello and Khalid's "Silence". "Let You Down" moving up to number 7, "Silence" down to number 8.
Then you have the first of two new entries to the top ten, Bruno Mars scores his tenth Australian top ten and Cardi B her first with "Finesse (remix)" entering the top 10 at 9 having moved up six places.
Also moving up nine places this week to round out the top ten and be the second new top top ten entry is "This Is Me" by Keala Settle and The Greatest Showman Ensemble at number 10.
As for the big movers up the chart outside of, there weren't many of those this week with "Candy Paint" by Post Malone breaking into the top 20 at number 19 and the bland "I Miss You" by Clean Bandit feat. Julia Michaels also breaking into the top 20 at number 20 but the biggest move of the week went to a song from The Biggest Showman soundtrack with "Re-write the Stars" by Zac Efron and Zendaya moving up from 42 to number 30.
"All The Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA moved up from 34 to 31,
As for the major losers, Pink's "Beautiful Trauma" continues to be a non starter falling from 36 to 47. Drops also came for Rita Ora's "Anywhere" which fell from 17 to 23, Charlie Puth's "How Long" which fell from 25 to 32 (not going to be as big as "Attention" was which is unfortunate because's it's an okay song), "I Like Me Better" by Lauv falls from 31 to 36 (Looks like finally breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 in the upcoming week). "New Rules" by Dua Lipa fell from 16 to 24 and finally "Whatever It Takes" by Imagine Dragons fell from 38 to 46.
There are five new entries to the top 50 with week with the highest new entry being an Aussie (YAY!), Troye Sivan new single "My My My!" has entered the chart at number 14 to be the highest new entry for this week, Camila Cabello's "Never Be The Same" rode the album release hype to enter the ARIA chart at number 17 then we have to go all the way down to number 38 to find the new entry for Taylor Swift feat. Future and Ed Sheeran entitled "End Game" (A desaturated mess of a song that Ed Sheeran doesn't fit on at all).
"The Greatest Show" from The Greatest Showman soundtrack by the cast and ensemble of same musical arrived at number 42 and finally "Chateau" by Angus and Julia Stone finally arrived in top 50 at 49.
As for new entries in the top 100: the best of those is "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa at number 53, "We're Going Home" by Vance Joy at 57 (really would like to see this song and Dua Lipa's "IDGAF" break into the top 50), "Real Friends" by Camila Cabello at 86 and "One Last Song" by Sam Smith at number 98.
There were three re-entries this week courtesy of The Cranberries after the untimely death of Dolores O'Riordan with former ARIA chart number 1 "Zombie" at number 58, "Linger" at number 59 and "Dreams" at number 78.
So with the five new entries to the top 50, what dropped out? Mostly 2017 hits like "Friends" by Justin Bieber and Bloodpop, "1-800-273-82455" by Logic featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, "Man's Not Hot" by Big Shaq and "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato. The other song to drop out was a debut last week in "The Weekend" by SZA.
Next week should be interesting as to whether Kylie Minogue can still land charting hits with "Dancing", it's doing pretty damn well on iTunes so we'll see what happens and whether or not anyone or anything can challenge for "Perfect" for number one.
