ARIA Top Ten/Chart Review: 19th March


So this week saw a lot of movement…most of it up for Ed Sheeran and the very top of the chart stay the same, you’ll see what I mean.

Remaining at number one for another week is “God’s Plan” by Drake and at this point, his streaming means he probably will keep number one for another week or so.

“Psycho” by Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign remains at number 2. I still don’t see the appeal of this song at all.

Rebounding from 6 to number 3 is former number 1 “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran because he has been on tour in Australia during the week which pushed “All The Stars” by Kendrick Lamar and SZA back to number 4 and “These Days” by Rudimental, Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen down to number 5.

Dua Lipa who is in Australia as the support act for Bruno Mars 24k Magic tour gave a boost to “IDGAF” which climbed one place to number 6.
“The Middle” by Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey jumped one spot to number 7 and ‘Friends” by Marshmello and Anne Marie jumped from 9 to 8…unfortunately (I’vr gone cold on that song hard in the last few weeks).
All the above songs rose because of the sudden drop for “Meant to be” by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line which fell from 5 to 9. Good.
 “River” by Eminem and Ed Sheeran returned to the top 10 at number because…. Ed Sheeran.

Gains
The biggest gainer this week was sadly XXXtentacion with “Sad!” gaining ten places to 22, quite why I don’t know because the song is TERRIBLE.
Ed Sheeran’s tour sent “Shape of You” back into the top 20 at number 20 climbing 5 places. Also climbing 5 places is “Look Alive’ by JB Blocboy featuring Drake to 29 because people want more Drake for some reason.

Returns
The two returns inside the top 50 this week were Ed Sheeran songs (surprise, surprise), “Castle on the Hill” returned at number 41 and “Galway Gal” at number 49.
Outside the top 50 though, the Ed Sheeran shlw continued with “The A-Team” back at 91.
Calum Scot also got a re-entry with “Dancing On My Own” returning at 77.

Losses
The biggest loss of the week was a 5 place drop for “Let Me Go” by Hailee Steinfeld,  Alesso and Watt to 39, other than that nothing too substantial.

Drop Outs
The drop outs aren’t too shocking this week, pretty much all four were expected with “Rewrite The Stars” by Zac Efron and Zendaya, “Cola” by Camelphat and Elderbrook, “Good Old Days” by Macklemore and Kesha and “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar all gone.

New entries
Two new entries this week with “Everyday” by Logic entering at 38 being the highest new debut this week and “We Got Love” by Jessica Mauboy entering at 47.
Outside the top 50, the best of the new entries was “Church” by Alison Wonderland at 89 while Bad Wolves cover of The Cranberries “Zombie” entered at 93 and “Nothing to Regret”  by Robinson entered at 100.
