So this week is the fall out of last week and wow, what we got was...interesting to say the least and with what looks to be coming to the chart next week, we could be staring at another shake up shortly.
"Let You Down" by NF and "Silence" by Marshmello and Khalid both left the top ten after extremely respectable runs. "Let You Down" went to 11 and "Silence" to 14.
Now to the top 10 and for a third week "God's Plan" by Drake sits at number one and given the video has just come out plus the excellent streaming and with sales coming on board, I doubt we'll see this leaving number one even with one likely challenger next week.
Rudimental feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen did as predicted and rose 2 places to number 2. This has potential to be a long term number 2 but I'd certainly wish it was the long term number one over any Drake song.
Post Malone stays where he is at number 3 with "I Fall Apart"
A song I am finding increasingly annoying is "Meant To Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line which regained one place to number 4.
The Black Panther soundtrack made it's impression in the top ten witb "All the Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA jumping from 19 to 5. Not unsurprising and I do like the song even with thr production issues I have with the song.
Former chart topper "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran fell four places to number 6. Good.
Speaking of Ed Sheeran, "River" by Eminem feat. Sheeran stayed at number 7.
"Finesse" by Bruno Mars feat. Cardi B fell two places to number 8 because can't have good things in the top 5 right now.
Well actually there is one good thing below it and that is the second arrival to the top 10 that being "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa which rose 2 to number 9. It's no shock that I love this song and am delighted to see it in the top 10.
Finally rounding out the top 10 is Camila Cabello's nauseating failed Kate Bush impersonation of a song "Never Be The Same" which fell two to number 10.
Gains
I'll go through some of the huge gains the biggest being for "For You" by Liam Payne and Rita Ora which rose from 45 to 18 because the 50 Shades Freed soundtrack was released, also from the Black Panther soundtrack "Pray for Me" by The Weekend and Kendrick Lamar rose from 18 to 12 and 'Stay Part 2' otherwise known as "The Middle" by Zedd feat. Maren Morris and Grey somehow got traction and jumped from 50 to 27 (it's picked up some radio unfortunately..it's NOT A GOOD SONG). Bazzi's "Mine" rose from 33 to 17.
Re-Emtries
"You Are the Reason" by Calum Scott returned at number 49 but that was because there was a remix of the song done with Leona Lewis.
Losers
The biggest loser was of course "Humble" by Kenrick Lamar which fell from 32 to 19 as the Hottest 100 hype fades away, What was disappointing was the Australian songs falling away like "Chateau" by Angus and Julia Stone which dropped to 33 and "Coming Home" by Sheppard to 34. Others look to be on their way out like "Havana" by Camila Cabello and Young Thug fell to 20, "Feel it Still" by Portugal, The Man to 21, "Dirty Sexy Money" by David Guetta, Afrojack, Charli XCX and French Montana to 42 and "Good Old Days" by Macklemore and Kesha to 45.
Drop Outs
Three drop outs this week and I am not complaining about ANY of these leaving, tghe desaturated pop of "End Game" by Taylor Swift featuring Future and Ed Sheeran is gone, the complete and utter mess that is "Filthy by Justin Timberlake and "The Greatest Show" by Hugh Jackman, Keala Settle, Zac Efron and Zendaya is also gone. Not bothered that we lost all three of those songs.
New arrivals.
The highest of the two new entries this week is Marshmello's collaboration with Anne-Marie called "Friends" which entered at 32 (It's a decent song, check it out) and at number 40 arrived Migos with "Stirfry" because Australia realized they hadn't given a hit to a bunch of overexposed rappers.
Outside of the top 50, the Black Panther soundtrack saw "King's Dead" by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future and James Blake enter at number 66 and "Futon Couch" by Missy Higgins at number 100 (so disappointing. GET BEHIND MISSY, AUSTRALIA, THE SONG IS EXCELLENT)
So that completes the look at the ARIA Chart for this week but because I am in the mood, I thought I'd throw in some songs that are charting or have charted overseas but for whatever reason haven't become hits here yet.
Overseas SMASH HITS
It peaked at number 3 in Austria and at number 5 in Germany...
"Rooftop" by Nico Santos
This peaked at number 2 in Norway, am surprised Ina Wroldsen has not caught on here.
"Strongest" by Ina Wroldsen
A song that's starting to blow up big around Europe, its at number 2 in Switzerland is this one from Tom Walker.
"Leave a Light on" by Tom Walker
Finally a song that is predicted to debut on the US Hot 100 this week but has already been a huge hit in Europe, spent 2 weeks at the top in France.
"No Roots" by Alice Merton
