This week can best be described as quiet what with only one new entry and one leaving, it was one of those weeks of relative calm on the chart at least until the fall out from the ARIA awards strikes over the next week and that is coming.
What it did mean is that the top ten didn't change all that much, "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande holds onto number one for another week and really given it still leads on streaming, I'd be surprised if it lost number one for awhile.
"Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper sits steady at number two as does "Without Me" by Halsey at number three.
Am expecting "Shotgun" by George Ezra which remained at number four this week to get a rebound off the back of Ezra's performance the ARIAs.
"Happier" by Marshmello and Bastille, "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee and "Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid remain at 5, 6, and 7 respectively.
The only change to the top 10 is "Body" by Loud Luxury feat. Brando jumping one place to number 8 pushing "Be Alright" by Dean Lewis to number 9 but again like "Shotgun", "Be Alright" will likely rebound off the back of Lewis performing the song last night.
At number 10 is Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over" to wrap up the top ten.
Gains
Pink had the biggest gain this week with her re-imagined version of "A Million Dreams jumping 20 places to 27.
Ava Max's break out hit "Sweet But Psycho" jumped from 28 to 22, this song has got momentum now so I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the top ten before the year is out.
Imagine Dragons song "Bad Liar" jumped from 29 from 35 which can be explained as being due to the album. Speaking of albums being responsible, the continually underwhelming "Woman Like Me" by Little Mix feat. Nicki Minaj went up four places to 26.
Lukas Graham's rather awkward "Love Someone" jumped 6 places to 31.
The absolute garbage that is "Mo Bamba" by Sheck Wes is somehow breaking into the top 40 by jumping up to 39 from 42.
In better news, "Lovely" by Billie Eilish and Khalid jumped to 40 upon its return and kind of makes sense given Eilish has a top ten hit right now and people are wanting to see what else she has done. (Check out "Bellyache")
Losers
I am fine with most of our big losers, the biggest being "Falling Down" by Lil Peep and XXXtentacion down ten to 44 while XXXtentacion's "Bad!" fell hard off it's debut last week (good) to 38
Kanye and Lil Pump's 'I Love it" dropped to 32. Kanye's featured on a new 6ix9ine song with Nicki Minaj....just joy...not.
Unfortunately it wasn't all good news though with the good "Electricity" by Silk City feat. Dua Lipa down to 49 and the decent "I'll Never Love again" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Coooper down to 35.
Drop Outs
Only one song dropped out however I kind of expect to see it back soon, that drop out was "Breathin'" by Ariana Grande. I am not sure if it will make the year end list but we'll see.
New Entries
Only one new entry to speak of this week with that being "Ruin My Life" by Zara Larsson which enterred at number 42.
So that wraps up a rather quiet week on the ARIA singles chart. I am expecting a shake up to the top ten with the ARIAs though. Rita Ora's "Let You Love Me" is in prime position for a run at the top ten but we'll have to wait til Saturday 5pm to find out if it does get there.
