I am pretty happy with things on the ARIA Singles chart right now, the number one is a song I really like, even the top ten is taking a turn for the better even though not every song is great but I'd be naive to expect that the chart is going to be full of all great music.
Speaking of our number one, 5 Seconds of Summer spend a second week at number one with "Youngblood" equally the run of their previous number 1 "She Looks So Perfect" however it looks as though "Youngblood" may well become 5SOS biggest hit as I don't see what will top it right now.
The new New Zealand number one remains at number 2 in Australia which is "Better Now" by Post Malone, needs to pick up sales and is currently being beaten on streaming by "Youngblood"
"One Kiss" by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa has been number one for seven weeks in the United Kingdom and is dominating in Europe however it sits at number 3 in Australia, it does look a contender for number one should "Youngblood" get weaker.
Ariana Grande's new single with Nicki Minaj "The Light is Coming" will arrive on June 20 but in the mean time her lead single "No Tears Left to Cry" returns to the top 5 with a two place jump to number 4
Drake is in at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 with I'm Upset" but his current US number 1 "Nice for What?" remains at number 5 in Australia for another week.
Childish Gambino's "This is America" has spawned remakes (Check out "This is Nigeria" by Falz) but it's down 3 to number 6 this week.
"Love Lies" by Khalid and Normani and "I Said Hi" by Amy Shark remain at 7 and 8 respectively. "Love Lies" should be assured of a place on the year end list now.
Selena Gomez's song "Back To You" is the first of two new arrivals in the top 10 having climbed three places to number 9.
"In My Blood" by Shawn Mendes wraps up the top ten with a 7 place climb to number ten courtesy of the release of Mendes third album. Two pretty damn good songs so I am happy about that.
Gains
Biggest gain of the week unsurprisingly went to "Youth" by Shawn Mendes and Khalid which climbed from 34 to 19 on the back of Shawn's album.
"Nevermind" by Dennis Lloyd is also on the move up to 23 from 29.
"Just Friends" by Hayden James and Boy Matthews to 29 from 33 (Good news for Australian music there!)
Re- Entries
One re-entry this week and it's good news because its a good song returning to the top 50 at number 50 in the form of "Bloom" by Troye Sivan.
Losers
The biggest faller this week was "Freaky Friday" by Lil Dicky and Chris Brown which fell 10 to number 26 presumably because the novelty of the song has worn out (duh1)
"The Middle" by Zedd feat. Maren Morris and Grey is down from 13 to 17.
Then there's three songs whose chart runs are coming close to an end with "These Days" by Rudimental feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen down to 32 from 25 last week, "IDGAF" by Dua Lipa down to 33 from 28 and "Say Something" by Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton down to 49 from 43.
Post Malone' song with Nicki Minaj "Ball for Me" slipped from 41 to 47.
Drop Outs
The drop outs really aren't massive surprises with "Fake Love" by BTS and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by the Backstreet Boys both out after debuts last week.
Zayn's "Let Me" is also gone after six weeks after debuting and peaking at 29,
The only song of the four exits that really made double figures is "Candy Paint" by Post Malone which spent 23 weeks on the chart peaking at number 19
New Entries.
Three new entries this week with A$AP Rocky teaming up with Skepta for the highest debut of the week at 34 with "Praise the Lord (da Shine).
Juice WRLD has his first Australian top 50 hit with "Lucid Dreams" debuting at 37.
Australian electronica act Rufus Du Sol are also a new arrival on the ARIA singles top 50 chart with "No Place"
That wraps up the week on the charts so next week? A Kanye West album bomb seems a possibiity, plus we could see a top ten debut for Maroon 5 and Cardi B's remix of "Girls Like You". (The video features enough recognisable celebs to make it huge on Youtube) and possibly Drake's new song which debuted outside the top 50.
