Not sure how I put it nicely...this week sucked...some good songs went down while we got two debuts inside the top ten, one that I was expecting and the other...well...let's just say my opinion of the lead artist of that song is pretty low and my opinion of his female collaborator took a nose dive.
Anyway I am getting ahead of myself here, let's begin at number one where no surprise, its "In My Feelings" by Drake due to the music video dropping and it still leading on streaming.
We have a new number 2 this week with Dean Lewis's "Be Alright" moving up one place to take number 2 from former chart topper "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer which dropped to number 3. Interestingly both songs continue to do fairly well on sales despite streams not being all they could be for either song.
"Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 feat. Cardi B remains at number 4 however it is definitely going to come under threat from the biggest mover of the week which is "Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid which jumped from 12 to 5 and looks likely to rise higher which actually is good news because I really don't mind the song.
Then we get to the first of the new entries which is "No Brainer" by DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo at number 6. I really dislike this song and I hope it falls away fast because it is mediocre at best and terrible at worst.
"God is a Woman" by Ariana Grande is waiting for the boost it will get from the release of Grande's album "Sweetener" next week.
At number 8 is "Fefe" by 6ix9ine feat. Nicki Minaj (sigh).
Post Malone slipped three places to number nine with 'Better Now" as did "Healing Hands" byg Conrad Sewell which fell from 7 to 1o
Gains
Well the biggest gainer of the week was "Eastside" but outstide that is "Rise" by Jonas Blue feat. Jack and Jack which jumped 5 places to sit just outside the top ten at number 11, it could jump into the top 10 next week though.
"Born to be Yours" by Kygo feat. Imagine Dragons jumped 4 places to break into the top 20 at number 20.
Panic! At the Disco continue to have a surprising run with "High Hopes" continuing to climb, this week, its up 6 places to number 24.
Losers.
Biggest loser was "Summertime Magic" by Childish Gambino which fell to 49 from 34 the previous week.
Also falling hard was "OTW" by Khalid feat. Ty Dolla $ign and 6lack which slipped from 29 to 43, "Don't Matter to Me" by Drake feat. Michael Jackson slumped down from 18 to 32.
"One Kiss" by Calvin Harris feat. Dua Lipa dropped from 21 to 28 (it's safe on the year end list though).
"Nevermind" by Dennis Lloyd (a song I keep forgetting exists) dropped from 10 to 17 and also in good news "Solo" by Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato dropped from 11 to 16 (Hey Australia, let's give Demi's better song "Sober" some chart traction here).
Drop Outs
The only song I am sorry to see gone is Shawn Mendes "In My Blood"...hopefully it makes the year end list...I can hope, right?
Also a maybe for the year end list is "Flames" by David Guetta and Sia while definitely making the ARIA year end list and probably my year end worst hits of the year list is "Meant to be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line.
The only other song to drop off was "Shape Of You" by Ed Sheeran for maybe the third and final time...
New Entries
The good news there was better that entered the chart below the awful of both "No Brainer" and "Fefe"
Zedd's latest collaboration with a up and coming female popstar Elley Duhe called "Happy Now" entered at 31 and finally George Ezra made his return to the Australian charts (about time) with "Shotgun" entering at 37 (that song has spent weeks at the top of the UK charts)
So that wraps up the week. Next three weeks at least are likely to see album bombs from Travis Scott, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande and its definitely going to make things interesting.
