ARIA Singles top ten/Chart Review: March 24th:

So we got a quiet week this week given the lack of big new releases but we still got a couple of newbies lower down the chart but we'll get to all that in a second but first the business of the top ten where "Sucker" by Jonas Brothers remains at number one for a second week and really I don't see what is going to topple it right now...(well, I can but it hasn't been released yet).

"Sunflowe" by Post Malone and Swae Lee took back the number two position, it's battling with "Wow" by Post Malone on streams right now which is why "Sunflower" managed to push past it this week with "Wow" down one to number three.

"7 Rings' by Ariana Grande remains at number four and "Shallow' by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper at number five (the fact this song has stuck around in the top ten for so long is incredible)

"Dancing With a Stranger" by Sam Smith and Normani waltzes its way up one spot to number six which I am happy to see especially as it passed "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" by Ariana Grande which slipped back to number seven.

"3 Nights" by Dominic Fike continues to have an unwelcome presence in the top ten moving up one place to number eight pushing "Talk" by Khalid and Disclosure back to number nine

Rounding out the top ten is "Sweet but Psycho" by Ava Max which clings to number ten for another week.

Gains

Unsurprisingly the biggest gain of the week came for Khalid's "My Bad" which jumped from 30 straight into the top 20 at number 18. Australia love Khalid plenty.

"I'm So Tired"  by Lauv and Troye Sivan continued it's upward momentum by leaping six places to number 11.

"Bad Liar" by Imagine Dragons is up to 26 from 33 for some inexplicable reason;...the song blows chunks.

A song I don't mind that broke onto the chart last week is Drax Project's effort with Hailee Steinfeld called "Woke up Late" which is up three to 37

"Exit Sign" by Hilltop Hoods feat. Ecca Vandal and Illy jumped from 47 to 42.

Losers

Some big losers this week with former number one "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande unsurprisingly slipping from 25 to 32.

"Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" by Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus dropped six places to 29. Not overly worried, this song should make year end regardless.

"When the Party's Over" by Billie Eilish dropped from 37 to 41 but should rebound with the release of the album.


Drop Outs

Juice WRLD's lead single sunk like a stone "Robbery" disappered off the chart after two weeks taking with it "Look Back At it" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

Also out is "Lovely" by Billie Eilish and Khalid but I kind of feel as though this song might return given the Billie Eilish association.

New Entries


So the highest debut of the week is "Here with Me" by Marshmello and CHVRCHES at number 35. I kind of feel as though this song should be a lot better than it actually is.

"Don't Call Me" by Mabel, a song that is a huge hit in Europe already, calls in at number 38. The best of the new arrivals.

Finally for some inexplicable reason, "Swervin'" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and 6ix9ine enters at 47. Hopefully a one week wonder because it is not a good song.

Anyway that wraps up the week and yeah, Dean Lewis and Flume will be the act to watch given Lewis's album and Flume's mixtape dropped last Friday. Whether Lrewis charts any new songs remains to be seen when the chart for the week beginning 1st April is released by ARIA on Saturday.
