ARIA Singles top ten/Chart Review: 8th October: Body breaks into Top Ten

This week felt pretty normal or at least normal in the sense we got two new songs from Lil Wayne's new album hitting the chart and a bit of scattered movement that wasn't surprising.

Also equally as unsurprising is the top of the singles chart where "Shotgun" by George Ezra reigns supreme at the top for a 3rd week and look with it ruling digital sales and doing okay on streaming.

"Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid remains at niumber 2 and is looking like a chance at being the year's longest bridesmaid without going to number 1.

"Be Alright" by Dean Lewis remained at number three and "I Love It" by Lil Pump and Kanye West remains at number four.

The first of the changes to the top ten is the pretty average "Happier" by Marshmello feat. Bastille up one place to five, it swaps with "Promises" by Calvin Harris feat. Sam Smith down one place to number 6.

"Rise" by Jonas Blue feat. Jack and Jack continues its yo-yo like performance in the top ten, up two places tonumber 7.

There's the first of two new arrivals to the top ten at number 8 with Khalid continuing his run of top ten hits in Australia with "Better" jumping four places.

"High Hopes" by Panic! At the Disco drops one place to number nine.

Rounding out the top ten is the second of the new arrivals to the top ten, the song that has been a smash hit elsewhere around the world, "Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando rising from 14 to number.



Gainers

So apart from Khalid and Loud Luxury gaining big into the top ten, what else gained? "This Feeling" by The Chainsmokers feat. Kelsea Ballerini (or known as the rip off of "The Middle" by Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey) went from 49 to 23.

"In My Mind" by Dynoro went up from 18 to 13.

"Electricity" by Silk City feat. Dua Lipa powered up from 26 to 22 while "Leave A Light On" by Tom Walker went up from 27 to 24,

"Praise the Lord (Da Shine)" by A$AP Rocky feat. Skepta shone its way up 6 places to 34.

Losers.

The big loser this week was Eminem's "Killshot" which shot itself in the foot down to 17 from 11 last week.

"Falling Down" by Lil Peep feat. XXXtentacion lived up to its name by dropping out of the top ten to number 11 presumably because people have worked out it's a load of grave robbing garbage.

"Jackie Chan" by Tiesto feat. Dzeko, Preme and Post Malone stumbled down four places to 25 which was the same sized fall for the Post Malone impersonator Juice WRLD's "Lucid Dreams" which ended up down at 25.

"Happy Now" by Zedd feat. Elley Duhe isn't so happy as it slipped to 32 from 28.

"Never Ever" by The Rubens feat. Sarah went down four to 36 as did "Natural" by Imagine Dragons to 39.

Drop Outs

Not really bothered about any of these dropping out. "God's Plan" by Drake is gone but will probably end up being the year end number one single.

"Nevermind" by Dennis Lloyd also followed but is also likely to make the year end chart.

Also gone are "Wake up in the Sky" by Gucci Mane feat Bruno Mars and Kodak Black and "The Ringer" by Eminem are also gone.

New Entries

So as I mentioned before Lil Wayne saw two new songs enter the chart and both of them are collaborations with "Mona Lisa" feat. Kendrick Lamar at number 42 (said to be one of the best songs on the album) and because Lil Wayne can't help jumping on the train of grave robbery so teaming up with XXXTentacion for "Don't Cry" at number 50.

The biggest new entry of the week though is "Taki Taki" by DJ Snake feat. Ozuna, Cardi B and Selena Gomez. I really don't want this song becoming a hit.

Finally, Alesso's "Remedy" enters at number 49.

That completes this edition of the chart round up expect new entries from "The Star is Born" soundtrack, Halsey and maybe even the new collaboration between Charli XCX and Troye Sivan.
