Fair too say that this is late because I was dreading having to parse my way through this week's chart which at the moment is anything less than good, seriously... you'll see what I mean.
At number one for yet another week is "God's Plan" by Drake even though the video is absolutely wonderful, I fail to remember anything Drake said in the actual song. I assume
Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign remain at number 2 with the underwhelming "Psycho" (I expect this song to fall hard soon)
"All the Stars" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA remains stuck at number 3 as does "These Days" by Rudimental, Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen at number 4 and "Meant to be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line at number 5
Ed Sheeran on tour in Australia gave a number of Sheeran's songs from "Divide" boosts including "Perfect" which jumped four places to number 6.
That pushed "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa down to number 7.
Now we reach the first of two new entries to the top 10 "The Middle" by Zedd at number 7, Maren Morris and Gray's first top ten hit in Australia. Makes sense given that it's really "Stay. Part 2"
At nine is the second of the new arrivals to the top 10, "Friends" by Marshmello and Anne Marie...a song that has become increasingly juvenile...but it climbed 5 places to reach it's new peak this week.
A song headed out of the top 10 is "I Fall Apart" by Post Malone which fell 3 spots to number 10.
Gainers
The biggest gainer of the week was somehow "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran which climbed 11 places to 25 and has now been on the chart 61 weeks however the song should start to fade away now that Ed Sheeran has left the country. "Divide" also returns to number one on the album chart.
Apart from that there was no real major gainers this week apart from the two songs that broke into the top ten.
Returns
Two returns to the top 50 was "Good Ol' Days" by Macklemore and Kesha at 49 and Calum Scott's "You Are the Reason" at number 40.
Outside of the top 50: it was pretty much the Ed Sheeran show with "Happier" at 82, "Dive" at 98 and even "Photograph" returned at 97. Calum Scott's 'Dancing On My Own" returned at 77.
Losers
The biggest loser of the week was "Rewrite the Stars" by Zac Efron and Zendaya which fell from 37 to 44. "We're Going Home" by Vance Joy dropped from 16 to 20. Both because the hype is fading away.
Other than that, there wasn't any real big losers.
Drop Outs
Three drop outs this week with "Want You Back" by 5 Seconds of Summer, "What Lovers Do" by Maroon 5 and SZA and "Lay It On Me" by Vance Joy all dropping out. Not fussed on any of those leaving really. "Want You Back" is terrible, "What Lovers Do" and "Lay It On Me" have had their time on the chart.
New Entries
One new entry to the top 50 which was (unfortunately) "SAD!" by XXXentacion at number 33.
Outside of the top 50, Meghan Trainor's new single "No Excuses" entered at 60 (wonder how much probability there is of it making the top 50), "Everyday" by Logic and Marshmello at 61, "Ric Flair Drip" by Metro Boomin' and Offset at 66, "Changes" by XXXentacion at 87, "Need You" by Flight Facilities feat. Nika at 96 and "Stranger Things" by Joyner Lucas and Chris Brown at 100.
Let's hope the chart improves because this week sucked like the proverbial butthole.
