This was an odd week.
An odd week in a sense that I wasn't expecting until I saw streaming data on Tuesday that suggested we were about to get a new number one out of nowhere and from a complete surprise but there also was only some modest movement even in the top ten not counting out the fact anothr song has joined the top ten but we'll get to that in a second because as I mentioned we do have a new number one and for the first time, the Jonas Brothers have hit the top with "Sucker' riding fantastic streaming and good digital sales to go to number one. It's the Jonas Brother's first number one in Australia.
Post Malone rode some strong streaming gains with "Wow" jumping four places to reach number two and honestly, this is a little bit of a surprise considering I thought it was struggling to gain traction due to Post's second single in the top 5 "Sunflower" feat. Swae Lee which also climbed one to number 3. It was a good week for Post Malone!.
Not so good for Ariana Grande however with "7 Rings" dropping two places back to number four, this song will slowly fall down the charts, I would imagine.
Former number one "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper slipped four places back to number 5 and it also pushed back Ariana Grande's second single in the top ten "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored' down three to number six.
In good news, "Dancing with a Stranger" by Sam Smith and Normani jumped up one place to number 7 largely due to good digital sales and streaming that hasn't completely fallen off yet.
:"Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure dropped one place to number eight as it's streams looked a tad more shaky this week.
However we do have a new song busting into the top ten, unfortunately it's "3 Nights" by Dominic Fike which jumped 3 places to number 9 making it Fijke's first top ten hit.
Wrapping up the top ten is "Sweet But Psycho" by Ava Max which dropped two places to number ten.
Gains
Lots of small gains this week with the biggest of the week going to "I'm So Tired" by Lauv and Troye Sivan which jumped into the top twenty at number 17 from 22.
The only other major gain was the toxic masculinity anthem "Robbery" by Juice WRLD which jumped 5 placws to 46 because of the realease of his pretty atrocious new album.
Losers
Big falls this week for A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie down to 50 with "Look Back at it", Lukas Graham slipped to 45 with "Love Someone". Both of those I am fine with slipping because both aren't great to say the least.
Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" slips to 25 from 18 and "Leave Me Lonely" by Hilltop Hoods goes down six to 20.
Drop Outs
So let's get the non starters out of the way like "365" by Zedd and Katy Perry which fell out because nobody remembers having heard it just moments after listening to it. Unfortunately "Nights Like This" by Kehlani feat. Ty Dolla $ign, was pulling for Kehlani to have a hit with this song.
The other two songs have been reasonable hits with "Let You Love Me" by Rita Ora and "Always Remember Us This Way" by Lady Gaga also joining those that dropped out. I note Lady Gaga has started to tease a new album.
New Entries
Billie Eilish nabs the highest new entry of the four songs that entered this week with "Wish You were Gay" debuting at number 12. Khalid's latest song "My Bad" arrives at number 30 (this one is as bad as "Talk", what the hell is going on with you, Khalid?)
New Zealand group Drax Project have teamed up with Hailee Steinfeld for "Woke Up Late" which debuts at number 40 (not heard this song tbh!) and finally Mustard (formerly DJ Mustard_) has teamed up with Migos for "Pure Water" which hits the chart at number 49.
So that wraps up the week, I have no idea if the Jonas Brothers can get a second week at number one, it looks like being a quiet week on the new arrival scene with not much in the way of new songs on New Music Friday but I guess we'll find out when ARIA release the chart for next week on Saturday at 5pm
