Things are about to get interesting...well...not this week but with Ariana Grande's sales and streams for "Thank U, Next", I get the feeling things are about to heat up but as for this week well it was pretty much same old at least at the very top where "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper remains at number one for a second week, right now, it's a numbers game as to whether "Shallow' can hold off "Thank U Next" for number one, really it could all come down to how many people streamed "Thank U, Next" on a paid streaming account.
"Shotgun" by George Ezra remains at number two but I expect it to get pushed back hard, digital sales are excellent but really with it's streaming falling away and stronger songs behind it, this should really start to fall away hard.
At number three is "Happier" Marshmello and Bastille. Really, I don't see this song going much higher now. Same said for "Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid at number four.
Speaking of Halsey, "Without Me" is our first mover this week as it jumps three places to number 5. It's weird to see a Halsey solo jaunt in the top 5 to be honest but she did push former chart topper "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis back to number six (it debuted at number 94 on the Hot 100 in the US this week).
Then we have the big story in our top ten with "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee jumping from 13 into the top ten at number 7. I suspect this song might be a top 5 hit in the making.
"Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando rose one place to number 8.
Khalid's "Better" fell three places to number 9 as the hype for his recent EP falls away.
While "Promises" by Calvin Harris and Sam Smith also fell three places to number 10.
Time to look outside our top and look at the big movers of the week.
Gainers
Well the biggest gainers were songs off the "A Star is Born" soundtrack with "I'll Never Love again" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper up to 15 from 32 and "Always Remember Us this Way" by Lady Gaga up six places to 12
Despite everything I said last week, "Woman Like Me" by Little Mix feat. Nicki Minaj got a boost off the back of the video to rebound to number 24.
"Better Now" by Post Malone is somehow rebounding back up the chart, it's back ato 28 from 31.
Another big mover that I am actually happy about is "1999" by Charli XCX and Troye Sivan u to 29 from 46. Yay!
Losers
The biggest loser this week was "Venom" by Eminem which plummeted to 43 from 25.
Sadly, "MIA" by Bad Bunny feat. Drake fell nine places to 49 (I don't mind the song quite honestly) while "Jackie Chan" by Tiesto feat. Dzeko, Preme and Post Malone fell 8 eight places to 50.
"Beautiful' by Bazzi feat. Camila Cabello fell from 27 to 35. "Leave A light on" by Tom Walker also slipped six down to 30.
Finally two songs I like in "Rise" by Jonas Blue feat. Jack and Jack down to 25 and "High Hopes" by Panic! At the Disco down to 22 from 15.
Drop Outs
Only three drop outs this week and I am a bit uncertain as to whether any of them will make the year list, that being "Killshot" by Eminem, "Born to Be Yours" by Kygo and Imagine Dragons and "I'll be There" by Jess Glynne.
New Entries
Music grave robbery has the highest new debut this week with XXXtentacion teaming u with Lil Pump, Maluma and Swae Lee for "Arms Around You" at 14. Gets worse when it's been announced that a new XXXtentacion song is being released tomorrow.
The songs from the soundtrack of "The Greatest Showman" are being re-imagined so we've got Pink's "A Million Dreams" at 26.
Finally, the best of the new entries is Ava Max's European smash "Sweet But Psycho" at 46.
So that wraps up this week and yeah, all eyes are going to be on what happens with number one, it seems like a straight fight between Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper but who knows?
The chart for the week beginning 12th November is announced on Saturday afternoon at 5pm.
