So let's get stuck into this week because plenty happened including a whole slew of new entries (not sure how many of them are any good though) and the top ten looks mildly interesting unless you glance at the very top of the chart where yes, "Shotgun" by George Ezra remains at number one for a fifth week despite not dominating anywhere.
"Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid remains at number two but it's facing a challenger to that slot and that comes from our new number three "Happier" by Marshmello and Bastille which jumped one place this week, this song has momentum behind it, it pushed "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis to number four.
"Promises" by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith returned to the top 5 at number 5, a climb of one place, it effectively switched with "I Love It" by Lil Pump and Kanye West which slipped to number 6 as the hype behind that song mercifully fades.
Also switching was "Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando which went up to number 7 while "In My Mind" by Dynoro slipped back to number 8.
Khalid's second entry in the top ten, "Better" remains at number nine while his 'Eastside" counterpart Halsey enters the top ten also for a second time with "Without Me" jumping one place to number 10,
Gains
The biggest gainer this week was Eminem's "Venom" which sucked up enough poison to go up from 37 to 25.
"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper is continuing to climb toward the deep end of the charts by jumping to 17 from 25 last week. (Good because that song is excellent)
Right behind it is Rita Ora's "Let You Love Me" which climbed nine places off its debut to number 18. In fact, the debuts last week mostly all had big gains this week with Lukas Graham had a big climb as well with "Love Someone" up ten places to 36 and :"Day Drunk" by Morgan Evans up 11 to 37.
"Taki Taki" by DJ Snake feat. Ozuna, Cardi B and Selena Gomez climbed four places to 24.
Kian broke into the top 30 at 29 as "Waiting" jumped two places.
Losers
There were plenty of big losers this week but none bigger than "No Brainer" by DJ Khaled, Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo which dropped all the way down to 45 from 21! Not surprising as the song really is a rip off of a song from last year and DJ Khaled has been threatening to become a parody of himself.
Drake's "In My Feelings" fell from 18 to 17 as we all try to get away from his feelings. Enough is enough.
:Eminem's 'Killshot" stumbled 10 places to 34.
Ariana Grande's "Breathin'" fell from 42 to 35 while "Happy Now" by Zedd feat. Elley Duhe slipped to 41 from 36.
"Ocean" by Martin Garrix and Khalid fell flat as the tide rode it down to 28 from 23.
"Jackie Chan" by Tiesto feat. Dzeko, Preme and Post Malone got karate chopped down to size to 32 from 26.
The "Electricity" went out a little on Silk City and Dua Lipa as that song slipped four places to 28.
Drop Outs.
Absolutely no issues with any of the drop outs this week with both "Goodbye" by Jason Derulo feat. David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Willy William and "Natural" by Imagine Dragons gone after 5 weeks.
While the only song (unfortunately) likely to make the year end list is "FEFE" by 6ix9ine feat. Nicki Minaj and Murda Beatz which exited after 11 weeks
New Entries
Let's see what replaced the songs that dropped out, the highest debut is the pretty awful "ZEZE" by Kodack Black feat. Travis Scott and Offset (we're giving a rapist a top 20 hit? Come on Australia, we're better than this) which arrived at number 15. Ugh.
The underwhelming "Woman Like Me" by Little Mix feat Nicki Minaj entered at number 23. I'll be surprised if it goes much higher than this tbh.
The best of the new entries is probably "MIA" by Bad Bunny feat. Drake at number 40...I still think the song is okay and probably the best song that Drake has been involved with all year.
Anyway that wraps up the chart for the week. Got new Zara Larsson to review along with new music from Zayn, Billie Eilish and Sam Smith teaming up with Brandi Carlile. May also slip in some Jon Bellion too.
As for the chart, well the new one is released at 5pm on Saturday and I suspect Halsey's "Without Me" will make a move up as will "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
