So this week felt like a much calmer week as the Ariana mini album bomb recedes and the chart braces for another this time because Eminem, of all people, dropped a surprise album called "Kamikaze" on Friday but we'll deal with all of that later.
Let's get to our top ten and very much stable at number one is "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis for a third consecutive week, it does look like losing number one at this stage.
Well at least not to "Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid at number two which is also looking like it might well be willing play the waiting game because its pretty strong right now however it's a matter of seeing whether it will be as strong when "Be Alright" weakens because I am not convinced it's going to be the case.
Quite surprisingly "Youngblood" by 5 Seconds of Summer climbed back up one place to number 3 (don't get me wrong, it's probably going to make my year end best hits list but this is sticking around much longer than I expected) and also a surprise rise for "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 feat. Cardi B back up to number 4.
That said those rises could have come because "In My Feelings" by Drake began losing streams hard this week and as a result fell two places to number 5.
The song that appears likely to be a challenger for number one quite soon is George Ezra's "Shotgun" which jumped 3 places to number 6 and given it's number one on iTunes right now, if it's streaming picks up, this song could get HUGE.
What finally is starting to fall away is the 2nd worst song in the top 10 which is "No Brainer" by DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Chance The Rapper and Quavo which fell one place to number 7.
Panic! At the Disco are enjoying their biggest hit in Australia with "High Hopes" regaining lost ground up two places to number 8. I actually really like the song so am glad it's doing well.
Jonas Blue feat. Jack and Jack's "Rise" returns to the top 10 this week up two to number 9 courtesy of the Ariana Grande album bomb falling away.
Speaking of Ariana Grande, "God is a Woman" slipped 3 places this week back to number 10.
Gains
Not sure if I am all that happy about our biggest gainer this week which is "Happier" by Marshmello feat. Bastille which jumped from 48 to 25. I mean really? We can do better than that song, Australia!
Speaking of better EDM songs, another big riser was "Promises" by Calvin Harris feat. Sam Smith up from 30 to 14. This song will be in the top ten next week if it isn't affected by the Eminem album bomb.
"Beautiful" by Bazzi feat. Camila Cabello breaks into the top 10 at 18.
Zedd feat. Elley Duhe's "Happy Now" jumps from 31 to 27,
"Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando jumped seven places to reach 33.
For some strange reason "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran also jumped from 44 to 38. I can't explain that one.
Re-Entries
"Leave Me Alone" by David Guetta feat. Anne-Marie returns after being bumped off the chart by Ariana Grande at 48.
While "Psycho" by Post Malone feat. Ty Dolla $ign just won't disappear for good, it returns at 49 because we can't always have good things on the ARIA charts right now.
Losers
I did mention that the Ariana Grande's mini album bomb fell away this week and that meant "No Tears Left to Cry" fell ten places to 31.
There is good news with utter crap like "Fefe" by 6ix9ine feat. Nicki Minaj continues to fall, this week down to 24 and "Solo" by Clean Bandit feat. Demi Lovato down three places to 28.
"One Kiss" by Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa continues to move it's way out of the top 50 down to 37 from 33 however that song will make the year end list so am happy about that because it's grown on me quite a bit.
Also on it's way out is "Back to You" by Selena Gomez down four places to 39.
Drop Outs
Nothing significant dropped out of the top 50 as far as year end list goes this week with two album tracks from Ariana Grande with "Sweetener" and "Everytime gone" taking with it "Stargazing" by Travis Scott and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin.
New Entries
The two new entries are two pretty awful songs however I am also expecting at least one of them to not stick around.
"Idol" by K-pop band BTS debuts at 35, it's the band's highest debuting song in Australia and sadly is one of the band's worst songs. It is a mess of a song from start to finish.
Jason DeRulo returns to the charts at number 50 with "Goodbye" feat. David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William.
So apart from that Eminem album bomb, am expecting a move into the top ten for "Promises" by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, also think "Shotgun" by George Ezra will break into the top 5 but we'll find out on Saturday at 5pm AEST.
