ARIA top ten/ Chart Review: 12th February

So this week was the fall out from the week before and it saw some mega changes to the top ten and a couple of new arrivals and a prediction that turned out to be absolutely correct.

The lone song to leave the top 10 was unfortunately PNAU's "Go Bang" which slipped from 9 to 13 this week.

What didn't change is the number one with "God's Plan" by Drake keeping the top spot for a second week but I see some challengers ahead for Drake so his run at number one could be short lived.

That challenge may not come fromt "Pefect" and it's various remixes by Ed Sheeran feat. Beyonce and Andrea Boccelli which stayed at number two.

Post Malone regained some of the lost momentum with "I Fall Apart" returning to number 3 up from 4 last week. 

Then we have a potential challenger for number one in "These Days" by Rudimental f4eat. Jess Glyune, Macklemore and Dan Caplen which rose from 10 to 4 this is week on big sales on iTunes and it's still doing well there. Picks up st5reaming and it could well be a major hit...I hope it is because it's a decent song.

The big loser though in the shuffling was "Meant to Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line which slipped from number 3 to number 5. 

"Finesse (Remix)" by Bruno Mars and Cardi B remains at number 6.

Then we have a string of songs with suffered losses, "River" by Eminem and Ed Sheeran slipped from 5 to number 7, "Never Be The Same" by Camila Cabello dropped from 7 to 8 (Good, it's the worst song on Camila's album) and NF's "Let You Down" dropped from 8 to 9 as it heads out of the top ten.

Rounding out the top ten at number is "Wolves" by Marshmello and Selena Gomez

Gains
The biggest gainer this week was "Say Something" by Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton which rose 12 spots from 36 to 24, the Black Panther soundtrack helped Kendrick Lamar and SZA break into the top 20 with "All The Stars" jumping from 30 to 19 and Dua Lipa's "IDGAF" is on the verge of breaking into the top 10 after jumping 6 spots to number 11.

Re-Entries

There was one re-entry to the top 50 which was due to the album "Man of the Woods" anyway, "Filthy" by Justin Timberlake made it's return at 44.

Losers
The biggest loser this week is not a surprising one with "Humble" by Kendrick Lamar falling from 20 to 32, "Cola" by Camelphat and Elderbook fell from 32 to 38, Sheppard's "Coming Home" looks as though it may have peaked sadly as it fell from 23 to 28 (Should have been a huge hit, damn it!) and than there's the complete non starter, "End Game" by Taylor Swift featuring Future and Ed Sheeran which fell seven places to number 47.

Drop Outs\

Basically the drop outs were pretty much 2017 songs that were on the way out anyway with "Let You Down" by Peking Duk and Icona Pop, "Dusk Til Dawn" by Zayn and Sia (Zayn can drop that new single any time he likes), "Too Good at Goodbyes"  by Sam Smith, "Congratulations" by Post Malone and Quavo (finally!), "Lay It On Me" by Vance Joy and "Let Me Down Easy" by Gang of Youths all gone. 


New Entries

It was a busy week for new arrivals to the top 50 with the top new song to enter being " Pray for Me" by The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar at number 18, the song coming off the Black Panther soundtrack, we'll see of this song has any real staying power. Bazzi's "Mine" bolted into the top 50 at number 33, the arrival of the 50 Shades Freed sound track saw "For You" by Liam Payne and Rita Ora enter at 45 and "The Middle" (otherwise known as "Stay Part 2") by Zedd featuring Maren Morris and Grey entered at number 50

In the top 100? The best of the new entries was Peking Duk's "Wasted" at 67, "Katchi" by Ofenbach v Nick Waterhouse (a song that is getting ridiculous amounts of radio airplay and sales on iTunes, I expect it to be top 50 next week) at 78, "Do Right" by Glades" at 84 and "Tip Toe" by Jason DeRulo feat. French Montana at 99 (a song that has spent an unfortunate amount of time in the UK top 10)


So that completes a look at the chart for this week, got the feeling that there's going to be a change of number one soon and Rudimental is looking likely to cause that change.
