Well this week did surprise me because we got a whole slew of songs returning down, only two new entries and honestly what happened at the very top also surprised me so let's get stuck into that top ten, shall we?
Much to my surprise, "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper held onto number one due to digital sales being pretty darn excellent.
It's nearest challenger is the title track of Ariana Grande's fifth album "Thank U Next" at number two, now this song is doing very well on streaming but it isn't matching "Shallow" for digital sales dominance so if streaming falls away, I am not sure this song is a player unless those sales start picking up.
That leaves "Shotgun" by George Ezra down a place at number three in a tight spot, it'd still be a challenger for number one if it's streaming hadn't fallen away hard recently.
Streaming is also the same problem for Halsey's "Without Me" which rose number four, sure it's digital sales are okay but I am not sure it's going to get much higher than number four.
"Happier" by Marshmello and Bastille is finally starting to show signs of exiting the top ten as it slipped two places to number 5 but it unfortunately also took Benny Blanco's "Eastside" featuring Khalid and Halsey down with it. "Eastside" slipping two to six.
Staying steady this week is "Sunflower" by :Post Malone and Swae Lee at number seven, a song that I expect to see stick around in the top ten for awhile.
All the changes saw Dean Lewis's "Be Alright" go down two places to number 8, it's on its slow way out of the chart.
"Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando stumbled one place to number 9 while rounding out the top ten is 'Promises" by Calvin Harris feat. Sam Smith.
Gainers
Biggest gainer of the week is the very early Lady Gaga souding song "Sweet but Psycho" by Ava Max, it's not a bad song and also not surprise considering how well it is doing in Europe.
"Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott and Drake broke into the top 20 by jumping up from 21 to 18.
For some reason "There's No Way" by Lauv and Julia Michaels climbed to 37 and "Ocean" Martin Garrix and Khalid went from 42 to 39.
Re-entries
It was a busy week on that front so let's start with the good songs that re-entered because the highest re-entry come from Queen with "Bohemian Rhapsody" at number 26, the song originally charted on the Kent Music Report charts in 1976 peaking at number 1 and then returned in 1992 to peak at number 5.
In other good news, "Lovely" by Billie Eilish and Khalid is back at 46 and "Breathin'" by Ariana Grande at 49.
The bad news lies with XXXtentacion's "Bad" returning at 48.
Fallers
Pink's re imagining of "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman soundtrack tumbled hard to 43.
"Suncity" by Khalid and Empress of tripped down to 45 from 34 while "Beautiful" by Bazzi and Camila Cabello
People are finally growing tired of "I Love It" by Lil Pump and Kanye West because that slipped to 22 from 16.
Drop outs
The onlt drop out that I am really disappointed about is "Healing Hands" by Conrad Sewell exiting but it should make the year end.
As should "Jackie Chan" by Tiesto feat. Dzeko, Preme and Post Malone.
Others gone are "Kiss and Make up" Dua Lipa and Blackpink, "Venom" by Eminem, "Lucky You" by Eminem feat. Joyner Lucas and "MIA" by Bad Bunny and Drake.
New Entries
There was one other new entry to the top 50 besides the arrival of Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" and unfortumately the song isn't any good, it's "Mo Bamba" by Sheck Wes.
That wraps it up for the week, I have no idea what's coming up or what will enter the charts.
