Let's not waste any time this week and get straight into the top ten where for a second week "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee blooms at number one and honestly, I don't see this song going anywhere for the time being at least while the soundtrack for the new Spiderman movie is doing well and it is dominating on streaming right now.
Ava Max remains at number two this week with "Sweet but Psycho" but this song and "Without Me" by Halsey at number three are facing a threat from a song below.
A song that I think can leap to number two is "Wow" by Post Malone, it is behind "Sunflower" on streaming and with a good sales week, it is a contender for number one as well. It might be a really dumb song but hell, there's plenty of groove behind it.
The rise of "Without Me" and "Wow" meant "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande suffered a two place drop back to number 5 and "Shotgun" by George Ezra also stumbled two places to number six
What isn't going anywhere is "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper as it remains steady at number seven. Honestly don't see this song leaving the charts any time soon,
"Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid switched with "Nothing Breaks like a Heart" by Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus to take number 8 and push "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" back to number 9.
Finally also remaining steady at number ten is "Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott and Drake. Ugghh. Maybe the onslaught of new music might see it gone.
Gains
The biggest gainer this week is "Close to Me" by Ellie Goulding feat. Diplo and Swae Lee which jumped from 32 to 26. "Love Someone" by Lukas Graham jumped five places to 21 for no explainable reason (that song is horrid).
Best of the gains this week is "Saturday Nights" by Khalid which got a boost up to 32 from 37 this week but there's a remix with Kane Brown doing the rounds. Ugh, Why, Khalid?
Re-Entries
Speaking of Khalid, he has the highest placed return with "Lovely' with Billie Eilish back at 48 while the less welcome "Psycho" by Post Malone feat. Ty Dolla $ign is back at 50 because the charts fucking hate me.
Losses.
There were scant big drops this week so the biggest fall went to a 2018 left over "God's Plan" which fell to 49. (Honestly, there's a big argument as to why the ARIA Charts need to introduce recurring rules)
Drop outs
All four drop outs are songs that returned last week so "I Like It" by Cardi B feat. Bad Bunny and J Balvin, "In My Feelings" by Drake, 2017 left over "Shape Of You" by Ed Sheeran and "I Love It" by Kanye West and Lil Pump (Hopefully we can consign all of them to history, okay)
New Entries
We have two new entries with Guy Sebastian finally breaking into the top 50 with "Before I Go" at number 43. It's a terrific song and we need to make it a hit.
Finally NOTD have teamed up with Felix Jaehn, Captain Cuts and Georgia Ku for the new entry at 45 called "So Close"
Next week shapes as an interesting one especially with the new releases such as Sam Smith working with Normani but we'll find out on Saturday at 5pm AEDT when the chart updates.
