This week was pretty stagnant or at least quiet with there being barely any changes to the top ten and muted moves up and down the chart, the quiet had been coming for awhile as the year music wise has gotten off to a rather slow start but with some new songs coming, I am expecting some big changes to our top ten sooner rather than later but speaking of which lets begin with the least interesting part of this week...the top ten where "Sunflower" by Post Malone feat. Swae Lee remains at number one for a third week and you know? I am fine with it, I don't mind the song but wow, it's got some hot competition coming and I don't necessarily mean from what is below it...if you saw what was released on Friday, you'll know who I mean.
"Sweet But Psycho" by Ava Max remains at number two but honestly I don't see this getting to number one, its falling back on streaming and while digital sales are still good, it's eventually going to start getting bumped back by stronger songs.
"Without Me" by Halsey spends another week at number three and frankly the longer we stall this song out the better as it is not a good song and unlike "Sweet but Psycho", it's streaming is good but digital sales are an issue for it down the track.
Post Malone's second entry "Wow" remains at number four but I don't see this song going anywhere soon, it's streaming is excellent even with the new arrivals next week, it should hang onto it's spot in the top 5.
Former number one "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande remains at number 5, it will get a boost from the new single "7 Rings" and the impending allegedly being released on February 8 but all of that remains to be seen. Pre orders apparently on Friday.
George Ezra continues to ride "Shotgun" at number six, it's leaving slowly but gracefully however with the song being in a recent banking ad, I kind of expect this to hang around which is fine with me, it's one of the better songs in the top 10.
"Eastside" by Benny Blanco feat. Halsey and Khalid made the only move up inside the top 10 as it moved past "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to number 7 pushing "Shallow" back to number 8.
Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus continues it's stay at number nine with "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart", it sits at number 2 in the UK behind Ava Max's "Sweet but Psycho"
Unfortunately chart clogger "Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott and Drake remains at number 10. I'd like to see this song gone sooner rather than later as it isn't a good one.
Gains
Look I am going to keep this short this week as there wasn't much that gained a lot of places this week with "Saturday Night" by Khalid climbing up from 32 to 29. Yeah..that's the kind of week it was.
Losers
Ariana Grande suffered the biggest loss of the week with promo single "Imagine" down ten to 39.
Morgan Evans "Day Drunk" dropped six places to 34 while Jonas Blue feat. Jack and Jack dropped five places to 35 with "Rise"
Drop Outs
Not much of note here but really really disappointing that Guy Sebastian's "Before I Go" exited after a mere week in the top 50. Really, Australia?
The other three songs that dropped are all crap from 2018 and 2019 that re-entered the chart last week those being "Lucid Dreams" by Juice WRLD, "God's Plan" by Drake and "Psycho" by Post Malone and Ty Dolla $ign.
New Entries
"Dancing With A Stranger" by Sam Smith and Normani is the biggest new entry of the week at number 19. I expect this song will be a top ten hit.
A song I like but with its content being a bit questionable, "Lost in the Fire" by Gesaffelstein and The Weeknd entering at number 25, a song that will probably be a hit especially given the well publicised diss of Drake.
New at 42 is "3 Nights" by Dominc Fike, a song that by any margin is pretty damn awful and shouldn't be a hit even with the good production which is absolutely wasted.
Finally a song I really don't care all that much for is "Giant" by Calvin Harris feat. Rag 'N' Bone Man entering at number 47.
So yeah that wraps up this week and I got a feeling despite this week being slow, we're in for a few big changes especially in the top ten but we'll see what happens on Saturday at 5pm AEDT.
